Multi-Player Mini Scenario - Any interest?
 

I got this idea from something done over at the SPWAW Depot a while back.

I am thinking of creating a very small scenario that would have a team of players for 1 side and a single player (maybe more) to play the OPFOR. My intial plan would be Korea with a multinational company (3 players) defending against a massed Chinese (1 player) attack. Map would be 60x60 or so. Maybe 12 turns max. With turnaround times of one day per player this would make it a 30-45 real day battle depending on how fast everyone can get their turn played and then forwarded on.

To reiterate the importanace, this game would require everyone to play and forward thir turns fairly quick or it will bog down and kill the whole project.

So at minimum it would require 4 players total. What say you?

This should be great,

My only concern is that I will have to make 2-3 short trips in the month of July and I don't know if this will delay the other players.

As soon as I know my program I will contact you. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Hey I was doing some research and found Greek troops assigned to the 7th Cavalry of the US 1 Cav Div in Dec 1950! I think there were Brits, Canucks and Aussies assigned to 1st Cav also. Hmmm.....

Re: Multi-Player Mini Scenario - Any interest?
 

Before you guys run off, let me clarify. As a player you would probably only play 1 turn every 3-4 days. The one day turnaround time would be you getting the turn out of your mailbox within 1 day after you receive it and on to the next player, not a turn for YOU every 24 hours.

Re: Multi-Player Mini Scenario - Any interest?
 

This is possible??

Re: Multi-Player Mini Scenario - Any interest?
 

I've always wanted to try something like this
so I am interested and have the time this summer.

Re: Multi-Player Mini Scenario - Any interest?
 

I haven't tried it with the new version BUT it was no problem in 3.01. It was still secure in that version but depending on the new security features it may not be possible now. I guess we will see. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/cool.gif

Anyway, what I will need is 3 UN Players and 1 (maybe 2) Chinese players. Then we can start.

Re: Multi-Player Mini Scenario - Any interest?
 

OK, here is the planned format.

Korea
December 1950
Chinese Assault
UN Defend (US, Australian and Greek) with South Korean Reserves (AI Controlled)
Map 60x50
Winter Terrain

Screenshot of Map Coming soon!

Re: Multi-Player Mini Scenario - Any interest?
 

I think this thread should be moved into the "opponents wanted" sub forum - as it is not really support related,
it's a request for a bunch of folk toplay several battles http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif.

If there are no objections to that - I'll shift the thread there shortly.

Cheers

Re: Multi-Player Mini Scenario - Any interest?
 

No objection here.

Re: Multi-Player Mini Scenario - Any interest?
 

Here it is!

Chinese come from the West over the river. UN forces will be deployed to defend the high ground and villages on the right side of the river.

What you have is the remnants of 3 companies (1x US, 1x Aussie and 1x Greek) from the 1st US Cavalry Division trying to maintain a blocking position against a large Chinese infantry assault.

Re: Multi-Player Mini Scenario - Any interest?
 

I have a volunteer for the Aussies.

Would you like the US, Greek or Chinese forces?

Questions, comments ?

Re: Multi-Player Mini Scenario - Any interest?
 

I'll take US forces if still open.
I'm only a member of this forum but
will join any other as needed.

Thanks.

Re: Multi-Player Mini Scenario - Any interest?
 

You will have to count me out of this.
Until I get the cd version.
Says it is not in stock.

Next time..

Re: Multi-Player Mini Scenario - Any interest?
 

Do you have the download version? That is all you should need. The CD is not neccessary for what were are trying to do. It will essentially be a standard PBeM game but with multiple players.

Re: Multi-Player Mini Scenario - Any interest?
 

Yes, I have only the download.
So I must have misunderstood the manual
about the difference between e-mail and tourney.

Please put me in as USA.

Thanks.

Re: Multi-Player Mini Scenario - Any interest?
 

Done.

Re: Multi-Player Mini Scenario - Any interest?
 

I'd like to play, any side is fine. Thanks.

Re: Multi-Player Mini Scenario - Any interest?
 

I will send you the deployment file with detailed instructions when you let me know you are ready.

Send me an email (playtesting@combat-campaigns.com) with the email address you want to use for the Scenario.

Re: Multi-Player Mini Scenario - Any interest?
 

I sent e-mail out (from johnnyjal@yahoo.com)

Re: Multi-Player Mini Scenario - Any interest?
 

Got it. Just trying to clarify the Greek Commander so you will have all the info you need when you get the file.

Re: Multi-Player Mini Scenario - Any interest?
 

Send me an email with the email address you want to use for the communicating about the scenario. I might be able to work you in on the Chinese side. I might need 2 commanders for them.

Re: Multi-Player Mini Scenario - Any interest?

Re: Multi-Player Mini Scenario - Any interest?
 

FYI - The Deployment File has gone out to the UN Side (IvanPolkov) with detailed instructions. Once all UN Forces are deployed I will deploy the Chinese and create the PBeM file and were off.

Re: Multi-Player Mini Scenario - Any interest?
 

OK, we have had a UN Command crisis but this is being resolved. We are again moving forward but still in the UN Deployment phase.

Re: Multi-Player Mini Scenario - Any interest?
 

I have the UN Deploy file back and have been adding in the Chinese Forces. Currently I am running some quick playtesting to make sure its as even as possible. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/cool.gif

I am also writing up the briefing text for each side.

I could use another UN Commander or 2 if anyone wants to jump in.

Re: Multi-Player Mini Scenario - Any interest?
 

I could try a minor UN role. need to see how it works

Re: Multi-Player Mini Scenario - Any interest?
 

I'll add you to the roster as the Greek Commander and copy you on the emails to the Team Commander. The file will be going to the Chinese team very soon while the UN team will be getting their "briefing" today.

Re: Multi-Player Mini Scenario - Any interest?
 

Have a issue with saying Player 1 has played this turn

Re: Multi-Player Mini Scenario - Any interest?
 

Is that the file I sent to the team or did it come from Cimmerian after he completed his moves?
