Anyone want to play updated version of 'Counterattack on the Son'

Hi chaps,

My PBEM games list is dwindling, so I'm wondering if anyone out there is interested in playing an updated version of 'Counterattack on the Son'? The updated version includes a Bailey Bridge mod provided by Umulat.

The scenario can be downloaded here http://cmmods.greenasjade.net/mods/5535/details

If anyone fancies taking this on as part of 2v2 team, as per Rico's tournament, I'd be keen. What do you think @PhilM ? My only requirement is that all players are new to the scenario and that they play it 'blind', so there would be no conferring enemy OOBs etc.

I'd be happy to play as either Allies or Germans. Oh and the game requires the Market Garden module.

Yep, I'm in ...
 
Up for the Allied side, completely new to the scenario, but not to the history behind.
 
I wouldn't mind a go at this if you still need players, don't mind sides...
 
@Richtig @PhilM @burroughs great, looks like we've got enough for 2v2.

Shall we play Odin & Philm vs Richtig & Burroughs? I thought one player on each team could play as the Germans, and one as the Allies, then we can tally up the overall scores at the end of the games.

If you are happy to go with these pairings, Phil do you want to play as the Allies or Germans?

Just so you know, I've read a thread on the BFC forums and apparently there is a problem regarding one of the bridges on the original Counterattack at Son scenario, so we'll definitely need to use the updated version and install the bridge mod which is linked to in my original post. Does this sound okay with you guys?
 
I am fine with anything which gets me on the Allied side to fight in operation "Market - Garden". I have downloaded the scenario and installed the mod, it seems to be working fine, no warning messages. However, I don't exactly get the idea behind the mechanisms of the team game here, I thought we were all to play the same scenarios with two human commanders per each side and their command divided into two separate parts. Need to hear more, but I am still up for that anyway.
 
@burroughs It's just to add a little more fun to proceedings as we get to have a chat about things at the end. Also with each team possessing an Allied and a German player it means if the scenario is weighted if favour of one side or another things can be evened out at the end of the games with overall scores. If your playing as the Allies, no peaking at the German OOB ;)
 
I never peek over other guy's shoulder into his deck of cards as this spoils the FOW I need for a decent combat simulation of any level. Otherwise I would play chess. I am glad we both understand and are agreed upon that, some folks don't.
 
I will need to download it.

@burroughs Do you have a preference for side? If we are buddying up, you can choose - I'm easy...
 
Yes, Allies for me please just like I have announced before. Thanks in advance.

Think I prefer Axis, but don't mind either side ultimately.

FWIW, I'd also be OK trying a team per side and splitting the commands that way, but again don't mind either way.
 
@PhilM if you'd prefer to play as the Germans, I'm good to play as the Allies. Phil are you ok to organise your game with @burroughs ?

@Richtig I'll send over a dropbox invite and first turn file (you as Germans, me Allies). If you like I can put a copy of scenario and bridge mod in the dropbox folder?

Good luck gents
 
@Richtig I've sent a dropbox folder share to your email, with a copy of Umulat's download. BTW do you use H2H Helper? GL

Yep, Ill kick off the game with me as Axis, @burroughs as Allied ...
 
Thank you. Yes I use The helper, it's just a shame it can't make tactical decisions for me [emoji6]
 
@PhilM The short answer is yes, we have bumped heads a wee bit - aggressive american paratroopers at fault I suspect...
 
Things are warming up nicely, there are a few fire fights taking place at the moment... those damned MG42s
 
Hey @burroughs ... apologies if it's my fault, but is something odd happening with our game turn numbers?

My CMH is showing it is your turn, and that I submitted turn 065 4 days ago ....

Was going to post here to see if all was OK with you as we've never had a turn gap that long before ... but just now looking directly into the drop box, that seems to show you posting a turn 065 on 8 July??

I'm guessing that, if you did post that file then, my CMH is ignoring it because the file number is no higher than the last file CMH thinks it has already processed?

Can you clarify what you think the position is??

Apologies again if somehow I've mucked things up: don't think I did anything different this time, just let CMH run things.

If the file 065 in the dropbox is yours, I can perhaps just edit the file name to be xxx 066 and see if that will work as an incoming file for me?
