Small friendly coop team game
 

I posted this in the WinSPMBT Opponents Wanted section but figured there may be an interest using WinSPWW2.

Was thinking about a friendly little coop team game vs the AI (or maybe a live OPFOR opponent if I get a volunteer to play that part). It would not be a 1 man per unit game like this thread originally intended but a small team per player format. Think The Rat Patrol but for WinSPMBT. Each player will command a light recce vehicle and the crew/passenger. Probably about a 4-6 man scout size unit. Each turn the scenario files will pass from player to player while they use their unit with the team commander going last to "End" the turn. More details to follow, probably in its own thread.

I would be up for that I think. Can do 1 turn/day most of the time maybe more or a little less. But I would be up for winspww2 version

If I do a WW2 game will probably be limited in encounters to NOT seeing any tanks, after all, its winSPWW2 not TV. :D

Re: Small friendly coop team game
 

Will probably require about 10-15 minutes of each players time, maybe 1-2 times week depending on the number of players.

The game files will be transferred between players by attaching it to a main thread after you have competed their portion of the turn. That way the next guy grabs it, plays his part and replies, attaching the newly saved files with the team commander grabbing it last and posting for the the OPFOR guy (or me to process if using vs the AI) to do his part.

Each player will be allowed to post a 100 word reply with the attachment that will represent their radio traffic to the other players on what they saw, engaged, did during their part of the turn, etc. No other PM'ing and email allowed. ;)

Sounds good but I don't own mbt and don't plan on buying it anytime soon. I have the free version but playing it is not fun to play on my netbook after I have played the cd version(higher resolution) of ww2

Re: Small friendly coop team game
 

We can do a WW2 game. I'll have to work a different storyline than I originally intended but it's still very doable. Will just need another volunteer or 2.

Re: Small friendly coop team game
 

Count me in!
I would prefer WW2 but could do MBT also or both,which ever gets going first:)

Re: Small friendly coop team game
 

Well, just 2 of you so far and both preferring WW2, I think we'll go with that then.

Re: Small friendly coop team game
 

I'm still in,see what you muster up:)

Hey DD!

Have a question,. if only 2 human players and no CO,who decides where arty (if any)should be used?
It could be a tug of war if one player decides to shift fire to help his forces when they have already been plotted:shock:

I'll leave it to you to concider:)

Re: Small friendly coop team game
 

Well, even if only 2 players, someone will have to be senior in rank and they will decide. There won't really be much air or arty to use since each player will only really command 2 units (the vehicle and crew/dismounts).

Maybe the 2 of you could alternate between scenarios?

Re: Small friendly coop team game
 

You guys cool with playing as the Allies? How about we start in the Mediterranean theater?

Re: Small friendly coop team game
 

I'm good with playing as allies and in the Med.
So only 2 units huh? guessing morter support is not really that essential as nothing to hit basically,, but you did say small;)

Re: Small friendly coop team game
 

allies sound good to me. 2 units is going to be tough

Re: Small friendly coop team game
 

I'll be adjusting the OPFOR so you're not fighting full strength units.

Re: Small friendly coop team game
 

Figured I would give this a few more days for any more volunteers to step forward. If not, we'll go with what we got. Let me know if we should hold off until after Christmas for the official start or not.

Re: Small friendly coop team game
 

After would prob be better for me.

Re: Small friendly coop team game
 

After xmas is ok.

Btw your suggestion of switching command between battles is a good idea.

Re: Small friendly coop team game
 

Anything new on when this will start?

Re: Small friendly coop team game
 

Should be picking it up again after this weekend. Basic mission concept will be to recon into Vichy French controlled Syria in advance of the main Allied advance. Will be a small scenario again a French outpost.
