Speedysteve -> What's everyone playing? (9/28/2009 3:07:00 PM)

Hi all,

Just intrigued now the beast is finally out....which scenario's are people playing? I generally prefer BtR due to the scope and variety of planes, industries and tactics available. For a personal touch though I like playing as the Brits in BoB now and then.

My take would be that more people would play BoB since it's easier and smaller to get to grips with.......

Post away...........

Steven




oldspec4 -> RE: What's everyone playing? (9/28/2009 3:12:22 PM)

As a noob to the game, I'm playing the one week BoB scenario as the Germans.

Tryin' to get the feel of tactics and the UI...




palocfarkas -> RE: What's everyone playing? (9/28/2009 3:21:23 PM)

Tryin' BOB because it's new for me. At this moment I don't have enough time to start a BTR 1943 campaign.




Speedysteve -> RE: What's everyone playing? (9/28/2009 3:23:00 PM)

I think playing a one week or 1 day game of BoB is the best way to start for newbies. Gives you a good 'playing board' to see how things work. You can also save the game, set tactics/raids, run, take notes, re-load, tweak, rinse and repeat. A great way to learn.




dogancan -> RE: What's everyone playing? (9/28/2009 3:24:48 PM)

BoB, 1 month campaign in real time. I mean really REAL TIME, I play one turn per day... [:)] and no, not because I am obsessed with realism, it is only about commitments. (you know its like a horse and carriage [:D])




Dixie -> RE: What's everyone playing? (9/28/2009 3:30:43 PM)

I'm playing BTR 43 as Allies against the AI and against Swift.  I plan to play a BoB campaign at some point, it's usually something to pass a few days [:)]




palocfarkas -> RE: What's everyone playing? (9/28/2009 3:44:20 PM)

I played tons of hours BTR some years ago. Before WITP, Ageod's AACW, TOAW3 and before my daughter was born. I'm afraid of I'm too old [;)] to start a grand campaign but I'll try it.

First week into the one Month Bob campaign as the LW trying to get the hang of planning raids and force manangment then will do same as RAF to learn interception and coverage, then I think I will take a look at BTR.




sven6345789 -> RE: What's everyone playing? (9/28/2009 6:34:37 PM)

started an Eagle Day grand campaign. i finished one a long time ago. lost 1940, won 1941. will turn to BTR later...




Justascratch -> RE: What's everyone playing? (9/28/2009 7:25:58 PM)

BTR 43 Campaign - all the way!

I figure with 700+ turns I will have time to re-earn my wings along the way . . .




tgb -> RE: What's everyone playing? (9/28/2009 7:30:14 PM)

1 week Eagle Day campaign to get me bearings.




wernerpruckner -> RE: What's everyone playing? (9/28/2009 7:47:33 PM)

test games....around 14 ongoing

PBEM:
1x BTR43 as Axis vs Dixie
1x BoB40 as British vs Kevin




mikkey -> RE: What's everyone playing? (9/28/2009 8:52:05 PM)

I'm playing BoB40 full length campaign as RAF and another as LW and in BTR is my favorite Avalanche campaign as Allies.




jazman -> RE: What's everyone playing? (9/28/2009 8:57:32 PM)

Just got this game, never played the originals... Started last night with tutorial / suicide Lufwaffe bomb run in BoB. I also played the RAF side, just to watch what goes on. Both ways I liked the snide remarks I got to read upon losing badly. So I'm tinkering, figuring things out, reading the manual, but my intention is to work my way up to BoB campaign first. Tomorrow I may change my mind.

My biggest problem is I'm also playing WitP-AE, and that's a huge beast to feed.




TechSgt -> RE: What's everyone playing? (9/29/2009 12:51:18 AM)

When the mailman arrives...

'43 campaign.
I've been playing TOH '43 waiting on BtR. I'm ready.

AttuWatcher -> RE: What's everyone playing? (9/29/2009 1:51:34 AM)

Avalanche 43' (2 months) as the allies.

Three turns in and things are going well but I have no idea how to maximize my score yet or how my short term decisions will be negatively affecting me in about a month [:D]

Want to start a 1 weeker in PBEM after I learn some basics.





Speedysteve -> RE: What's everyone playing? (9/29/2009 9:17:55 AM)

Interestingly here's the tallies so far:

BOB - 9

BTR - 7

Closer than I was thinking it would be. Keep posting guys.........




watchtower -> RE: What's everyone playing? (9/29/2009 9:27:36 AM)

Just started a 1940 campaign as LW - so nice to be playing this game again.
