Conact me direct for discussion re house rules etc.

Status: offline 		Certainly, the only issue now is the version we use and whether or not Nomad is only interested in Nik's mod.

I'm interested in it, but have never played it, Harald (my ally in this team) has also never used it.

As regards the version I am still using 1.602, though I do have a copy of WITP patched to 1.77. The forum reports 1.795 having serious bugs to it?

Status: offline 		ok harald and I are happy to run Niks mod, in fatc I have been looking forward to trying it.

So, scott can you confirm you will do this.

Can we also agree on the version we are using.... 1.602 or 1.77 or what?

Cheers

We can do either....

Status: offline 		Decide on who commands what. Example for the Allies is one person commands DEI , CBI , while another commands the rest. Looking in the Fear and Loathing AAR for an example.

Status: offline 		Quite easy and great fun too.

1. Agree commands splits - can be done in a variety of ways.

2. Play sequence

Jap 1 does orders, sends turn to Jap 2 (as saved file not as ended orders) with 001.pws and combatreport

Jap 2 does orders ends orders phase, sends turn to Allied 1 and Allied 2 with 001.pws and combatreport

Allied 1 does orders, sends just the orders to Allied 2 (as saved file not as ended orders)

Allied 2 does orders and ends orders phase, sends just this file to Jap 1

Jap 1 plays turn, generates 001.pws and combat report, saves these and then sends them on with new orders as above

It does need communications, to keep track of where the orders are, and it does mean that at times you have to adjust for holidays - when often the other genreal can take over to keep the flow going.

BIG advantage is you are working with someone and swapping ideas - learning from each other.


Cheers

Roger

Status: offline 		It is also a big help in cutting down time required to play since you only have to focus on 50% of the map. I also find I get even more attached to the units in my command so it is that much more interesting watching each battle unfold.

Status: offline 		Still looking for a partner? I would like to join, but only as allies. I have two games going on as japanese and I really want to play allies. I want to try 4E monsters, respawing CVs, uber corsair, no production worries
No mods for me also.

Status: offline 		Ah I know how you feel, it is so much less complicated as the allies!!!!!!

Sorry but Harald and I specifically want to play as an Allied team. I don't think a 3x3 works as there's just too much can go wrong in timing and file transfer - we tried that in another game.

Still looking for a Jap player....
