Two reasonably experienced jap players want to try their hand as Allies. Scenario 15 standard game currently patch 1.62.

Conact me direct for discussion re house rules etc.

Nomad -> RE: New 2 vs 2 team game? (1/30/2006 12:49:50 AM)

Just wondering, you and your partner want to play as the Allies? Or Japan?




Roger Neilson -> RE: New 2 vs 2 team game? (1/30/2006 7:59:51 AM)

ah, I see the ambiguity.... we would like to play The Allies for a change against Japan.

Roger




Roger Neilson -> RE: New 2 vs 2 team game? (1/30/2006 8:45:44 PM)

Hello, its very quiet out there.... anyone even considering the prospect?

Roger




Bill Durrant -> RE: New 2 vs 2 team game? (1/30/2006 9:26:33 PM)

I think everyone is considering the prospect of 1.8[;)]




Roger Neilson -> RE: New 2 vs 2 team game? (1/30/2006 9:35:19 PM)

Yes, probably true Bill.... but its an elusive beast, rather like the fabled Unicorn I think.

Roger




Nomad -> RE: New 2 vs 2 team game? (1/31/2006 2:39:57 AM)

I am willing, I have never played a PBEM as Japan and I do not have a partner. But, I would like to use Niks mod 5.02 and 1.795 so there is a problem.




Roger Neilson -> RE: New 2 vs 2 team game? (1/31/2006 8:50:21 PM)

Ok, lets wait and see whether anyone else fancies this....

Roger




Roger Neilson -> RE: New 2 vs 2 team game? (2/5/2006 7:59:46 AM)

scott64 -> RE: New 2 vs 2 team game? (2/5/2006 8:36:39 AM)

can I play too? [:'(][sm=00000028.gif][sm=00001746.gif][sm=Crazy-1271.gif]




Roger Neilson -> RE: New 2 vs 2 team game? (2/5/2006 9:32:42 AM)

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?

Roger




Roger Neilson -> RE: New 2 vs 2 team game? (2/5/2006 11:40:13 AM)

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

Roger




Nomad -> RE: New 2 vs 2 team game? (2/5/2006 1:51:52 PM)

oops, I just started a new game. Sorry




Roger Neilson -> RE: New 2 vs 2 team game? (2/5/2006 2:02:03 PM)

Ok, we still have a vacancy for a Jap player

scott64 -> RE: New 2 vs 2 team game? (2/10/2006 7:06:31 AM)

sorry only stock 15 with 1.602 for me [:)]




Roger Neilson -> RE: New 2 vs 2 team game? (2/10/2006 8:18:37 AM)

That would be fine Scott, we only considered the other as that's what Nomad was after.

We can do either....

Roger & Harald

pmt411@cox.net -> RE: New 2 vs 2 team game? (2/11/2006 7:17:13 AM)

I am just curious. How do four players play a pbem game?? Who does what and how?? Thanks!!




scott64 -> RE: New 2 vs 2 team game? (2/11/2006 7:49:44 AM)

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.




Roger Neilson -> RE: New 2 vs 2 team game? (2/11/2006 12:22:46 PM)

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




FeurerKrieg -> RE: New 2 vs 2 team game? (2/11/2006 6:30:06 PM)

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.




invernomuto -> RE: New 2 vs 2 team game? (2/11/2006 10:29:55 PM)

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 [:D][:D][:D]
No mods for me also.




Roger Neilson -> RE: New 2 vs 2 team game? (2/12/2006 10:09:23 AM)

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....

Roger




invernomuto -> RE: New 2 vs 2 team game? (2/12/2006 12:05:26 PM)

No problem Roger, I'll try Allies another time.

Bye
