I will go with whatever you feel is correct. I have my pairings set minor vs minor. I take it that the random generator made no such distinctions?

Could you do it again but seperate out the two categories first?

Status: offline 		Goblin, if you noticed I renamed the listing from major/minor countries to group A and group B. actually some of the players in group B I'd be cautious of even if they were playing a country with lesser military capacity. was that PC enough? :)

I don't want to start re-assigning the palyers so it would not start the confusion. Again, it's up tot hem if they wish to be re-assigned, just post it here.

According to everything I have read in the posts these are the Rules.
4K meeting engagement
20 turns.
All other preferences and agreements are determined between you and your opponent.

Marines & Canada - 7/8/2002 3:48:40 AM

Status: offline 		I will change to what ever category is appropriate. I chose Marines as a minor country because they have limited resources. Even into the post 1945 period they don't have all the assets available that the US Army has. Their armor is limited and mostly designed around their tasking which of course is "Amphibious Landings". So regardless of their "Elite" Status for the infantry. Their firepower is somewhat limited.

As for Canada; if youwere to draw on say Great Britain and the ANZAC's a true UK. Then I think you would have a Major Country. but, I could be wrong. It is just that every time that I have tried to put together a true Allies Scenario. I never seem to find much of anything exciting that I would want to put on my team. And, I most always drift back to the US and GB to pick my forces.

I figured also that if you broke up the United Kindom parts into their seperate countries this would free up more countries for the WC. So therefore the minor country status for Canada.

But, I would have no problem either giving a handicap to anyone that ends up playing me as the Marines. Or, switching to Hungary.

As for the labels of Fiji, Ceylon, and Mars. I guess I have to apologize. Those are countries in the SPUniverse at War game I play in the year 2045....:rolleyes:

National Characteristics - 7/8/2002 4:27:49 AM

Status: offline 		Scharfschutze and I are about to start a 'Blue on Blue' scenario. (Germans vs Germans)

I suggested I start with a US HQ and purchase Germans through the Nations button.

Then it occurred to me, Although the Experience will be correct, my forces will still have the national characteristics of the US. (fast artillery response, Quick retreat, improved Rally)

Although I'd like to have those advantages, they don't seem fair to me.

For mine and Scharfshutze's game, I propose we turn off National Characteristics. I don't see a way to get comparable characteristics for both forces. Do you agree, Scharfshutze?

For everybody else, this is a setup issue to consider for 'Blue on Blue' contests. :cool:

Whew, wouldn´t have thought of the national characteristics issue. I would have liked fast arty response, too...:D

Why not just set up Germany vs. Germany? Perfectly possible in SPWaW. We will both get the national characteristic (less suppression under fire)for our troops.

So, send in your defectors so that I might point out their errant ways to them!

Just remember if your opponent does not call for reinforcements and does ok He is going to win by a land slid. Your opponent recieves 1/4 of the points you request as reinforcements for free on top of anything he destroys.

Status: offline 		This may just be sour grapes because I missed this opportunity while I was on vacation last week, but...

If you have 26 players, that makes 13 matches, which leaves you with 13 people advancing to the next round if you are doing single elimination. Who gets the free pass to round 3 as the odd man out?

I think that is why the NCAA tournament starts with 64 teams.
64 to 32 to 16 to 8 to 4 to 2 to 1 Champion. Or, have I gone stupid and missed something after reading all these posts?

I vote you should get 6 more players. And I'll be player #27.

Please, please, please...
