CMRT GROGHEAD MULTIPLAYER PLANNING THREAD

[Yskonyn]

I dont have CMFI.

CMRT or CMBN (with all modules) is fine.

[Skoop]

Not a big deal cuz it's just pixel truppen, but I prefer cmrt in a sense that I can play either side and careless.  I feel so dirty playing the Germans in cmbn.

Cmrt is looking popular

OK I just did a little test assuming the following

Platform = CMRT
QB - Map Rough Water - Forrest Mix 074 - Sept 1944 Day Clear
Battle = 30 minutes meeting engagements (I think it needs to be kept short and fast to force both sides to push to engage and keep the turn sequencing to go fast)
Force = Mix no adjustment

Using Germans I got the following forces for 25600 in points and same for rarity (I am not going to give the exact allocations but this is a guideline)
Player 1
HQ
2 Armor Vehicles

Player 2
1 Company (3 platoons) Infantry

Player 3
2 Company (3 platoons) Infantry

Player 4
1X FO
1X Off board large caliber Arty (not mortars)

I will try and do a similar trial with the Russians but I think it is safe to assume that they will need at least 4 players as well

OK Same scenario rough outline of potential Russian Force with same points = 2560

Player 1
HQ
4 Armor Vehicles

Player 2
SMG Platoon (3 squads dismounted)

Player 3
1st Rifle Company 2 platoons, 1 MG platoon 1 Sniper

Player 4
2nd Rifle Company 3 Platoons, 1MG Platoon, 1 Sniper

Player 5
FO  1 Field Gun Battery

So the Germans got 25600 points and the Russians 2560?

Seems legit for Barbarossa...  >:D

Yeah, but they get those same 2560 points a million times...

We have lost momentum, chaps!

I bailed on UCG - mainly because at the time I didn't have my heart in a PBEM. We didn't start one - I bailed before it was even set up I think!

Well how would you like to fire up a small engagement (thanks for the offer by the way)...maybe a few platoons, a tank or two, scout car - that kind of size...nothing mega.

hmmm I think I experienced this too!  :P

[JudgeDredd]

oh - maybe it was you Tuna....I definitely didn't try it twice!

Player 5 (player 4 for the Germans) wouldn't have much to do IMO.  Maybe the FO/arty could be under the remit of the HQ player?

How is it working out so far?

Ummm  :-[

I think we need to dragoon someone into being the organizer.
