Matrix Games Forums

I'm keen on playing as part of a team alongside another first year full game I am playing. I reckon I'd learn a a lot and also have a lot of fun working with others. relative newbie to the game, but learning fast.

Don't have a clue how the team idea works but I imagine its great fun.

I'm in England nad reckon on being able to turn a normal PBEM full game turn round every day - I assume it can be slower given the team consultation needed.

Been internet wargaming for almost a decade - I don't quit games.

Only on problem. My english ist not very well, i hope this is not a big problem.

Servus!

I am from Vienna (Austria). Makes us 3 Japanese. [:'(]

So where are the 3 US boys?

BTW: maybe it is a good idea to wait for patch 1.5. Just my 2 cents.

I'll be a US player, It looks like the only way I'm going to get a game. My German is pretty weak though.

Will we start?
Will we wait fo two americans more?
Will we wait for 1.15?

I'll play the Allied side. My German is nonexistent. My French is atrocious, but my English is sparkling. I propose that as our team language. I'd vote for waiting until 1.5.

We have two allies. Should be enough. How do we get started?

Ok, sorry i forgot to look at this thread for a bit.

I assumed there was no interest.

Do any of us have any experience of playing a team approach? I don't but i like the idea.

I am only fluent in English.... and not that fluentt after a few glasses of wine!

I might be able to find another Allied player.... I'll get back to you.

An Idea for a team:

Jap:
Player 1 take control over Kwuantung, China and Burma
Player 2 take control over the combined-fleet, 4th fleet, southeast-fleet, northern area and home-defence
Player 3 take control over south-area, the whole industry, all cargo-ships, ressourcen, supply and eventually fighting in australia.

american:
Player 4 take control over Burma, China and Soviets
Player 5 take control over Australia, Dutch and SW-Pac
Player 6 take control over North-, Central-, South-Pac and Home-defence.

First turn and then every week a strategy-conference for the team.
Every player managed his area alone. He can ask the other for troops, ships, planes and supply.

Hi, Use Babel fish. Keep it simple "schicken Sie mir Schiffe"
I'll run China.

looks like we have 4 Japs and three allied.

Hmm, I shall ponder this overnight as its late now.

I think we may need to open up a new way of communicating between ourselves to agree areas of responsibility, which scenario and house rules.

Hopefully I can get this sorted tomorrow gentlemen.... I kinda am assuming responsibility as i began the thread, but will bow out to anyone else who feels they are better placed to coordinate all this.

Cheers

Hi, I meant to be ALlied China not Japanese China.

Ok all, I have created a weblog for discussion, please go there and add some comments. I'll pull together a mailing list tomorrow. Its late now so I'll get some sleep.

Ok, looks like we have two teams of 3 each. However there are other who seemed interested, so this team approach has a lot of value i feel. Keep posting to pull other into such battles... I think it could be more fun than head to head!

Hi, As long as speed is not an issue take as many players per team as want to play.

Well, hopefully we can managed 1 turn per day, longer than that, I dont see us getting far in it.

Divide up your teams and who commands what. Let's say you have 4 players, 2 to side.
Japan-1
Japan-2
Allied-1
Allied-2

Japan-1 makes his moves, save the game, does not end. Sends saved game to Japan-2.

Japan-2 makes his moves, ends the turn. Sends the completed turn to both Allied-1 and Allied-2.

Whichever Allied player works on the turn first, sends an email to the other Allied player, that he is currently working on it). Let's say it's Allied-1.

Allied-1 makes his moves, saves the game (no end), sends to Allied-2.

Allied-2 makes his moves, ends the turn, sends the completed turn to both Japanese players.

Again, whichever Japanese player gets the turn first, should send an email to his teammate, that he is currently working on the turn. Either Japanese player can execute the turn (to create the 001 file), but only one should begin working on the turn. Let's say it's Japan-1.

Japan-1 executes the turn, makes his moves and saves. He sends the the saved (not ended) turn to his team-mate.

Japan-2 makes his moves, and ends the turn, and sends the completed turn and the 001 file to both Allied players.

Lather, rinse, repeat.

This is an interesting concept. Keep us informed as to how it works out.

Can't promise to furnish an AAR for this one, but I could report back on how its going - where would be the best place? In the AAR section?

So far we are still arranging commands and agreeing house rules.
