Ladder Opponent Wanted : Meeting Engagement

W

Guest
Looking for a couple of opponents for Ladder:

Standard QB Map - Meeting Engagements

Medium / Large Force & Map
Player 1 chooses Map
Player 2 chooses Axis or Allies

Also happy to play Random Map, No Preview

Organic Artillery Rule OFF or ON by agreement

Rarity Standard

Mixed Forces
Both sides: ONE THIRD OF POINTS MUST BE INFANTRY
'Specialist Teams' and 'Single Vehicles' available in the 'Infantry' and 'Mech Infantry' sections count towards the minimum infantry allocation.
Example: Trucks, Half-tracks and AT Guns.
'On map' mortar units count toward the Infantry total.
'Off map' mortar units attached to a Companies OOB DO NOT, their value needs to be deducted from the OneThird Minimum.


Version 2.0

Hi WynnterGreen. I am willing to play.
If you don`t mind I would suggest Large Forces on a Huge Map. This gives definitly enough room to maneuver. What do you think about that?
I really like playing Axis and we can just take a Random Map. I like it that way.
As for the artillery rule, we can make it off. With Large forces and a big map the devastation effects of the heavy stuff is not so much of relevance. And I guess, as you propose the infantry rule to balance things, you are an opponent who likes to play with a good force mix and not just buying artillery and some infantry to clean up the survivors from the battlefield.
Maybe we can set Rarity to Strict? Balancing things a bit more I guess. Just a proposal.

BTW: Do you have plans upgrading to Version 2.0? I think I will switch fast to the new version....
 
Walter I sent an invite to DropBox.

I've updated to 2.0

I'd prefer to keep rarity standard, just because Panthers are Rare '0' and anything that can punch holes in them isn't.

Happy to negotiate further on the details a game, but I put one in our shared folder as follows:

Huge Force
Large Map - Random, No Preview
Your Germans v my Brits
Rareity Standard
Arty Rule OFF
One Third Infantry Rule ON
Time set to 2hr So that battle should end by 'Ceasefire' or 'Surrender', rather than by the clock.
Elite Difficulty
 
Everything fine with two exception. I haven`t seen in your post, that it is Random Map without Preview. That doesn`t make much sense for me. In this case a preview of the map is essential for my force mix. It heavily depends on the general map conditions. Open, bocage, City and so on. So if you don`t mind please set this up again with Preview enabled. And as I am already fighting two huge battles could you please make ours just a large one? As far as I am concerned a huge map/large force or large map/large force is good. Otherwise I really losing track of so many units.
So, I hope you don`t mind negotiating that much. But I think we are setting up a good PBEM here...
Ah and another thing but I guess this is a nobrainer. Arty rule off for good, but commons sense applies. Since we are playing an Meeting Engagement, no Pre-planned Artillery strikes on setup zones. Ok?
 
The idea of Random Map, No Preview is that you have to build a force capable of fighting in any terrain.
It does very well to represent fighting with the resources at hand, rather than tailor made for the map.

If you don't like to play that way, it's fine, but I do suggest you try it some time, it's and excellent way to play.
In fact with one friend it became the only way we played.

I've been really surprised that no-one from AFGM seems to play it.

Will remake with Large force, I'll choose a map and allow preview.

No arty on set-up zones, of course.
 
Wait, wait. I will give it a try WynnterGreen :) . You got me hooked and I am always open for new approaches playing the game. So please just adjust to Large force and we can get it rolling...Looking forward to this!
 
OK. I'll remake:

Do you have a preference for SS or standard Heer???



Large Force
Large Map - Random, No Preview
Your Germans v my Brits
Rareity Standard
Arty Rule OFF No arty on set-ups (of course)
One Third Infantry Rule ON

Still looking for a couple of PBEM Ladder Games.

I'm stuck with 1.11 until they fix the issues with 2.0 though.
 
I'm game to fill your dance card. I have a 1.11 install. I'd prefer a medium sized battle, infantry @ 30% is fine, you decide on the arty rule, and map. I'll take the Americans.
 
Excellent Lt.Smash.

Expect a Dropbox invite shortly with a game.

Excellent, set one up Fuchs.

I'll play as Brits.

Organic Arty OFF???
 
Good. I am keen to play random map with no preview to maintain the effect of surprise. But knowing that there is a bug with QBs in CMBN currently we have to wait for the 2.01 patch which should come out very soon..
 
No worries.... yeah, I'm affected by the 5% crash, so couldn't play random maps at the moment.

But we could set one up with a 'picked' map, using Cargol's technique of renaming the map in the editor to avoid the crash and get something going in the meantime.
Let me know if you're up for that.
