PBEM Campaign

[c_of_red]

I have just discovered PBEM campaigns. About half way thru my first and I like it. I want more. Will consider all offers for a short (3-4) battle campaign.

Hi fancy ago myself, would say I am intermediate or better & would aim to do a turn most days.
If interested email me at johnpryor@ntlworld.com title MBT in bold or will be blocked.
Suggest timeframe side(s) size any house rules (arty hellos ammo snippers etc)

Happy any, like large but unsure how repair & refit handled for loser.

Repair & Refit carefully handled still leaves the loser enough to continue. So far it's been my experience that the initial Meeting Engagements can be quit bloody.

I agree. About turn 28 I had all my bailed out crews start looking for big rocks and pointy sticks to use in the next battle. Or was it pointy rocks and big sticks?

I'm interested in playing a 2 battle PBEM campaign. Are you game? If so email me at erome5578@yahoo.com, Title your email Shrapnel PBEM so I can differentiate you from spam. I'm new to the game but not military tactics. I prefer the time period of 68-80 where technology isn't TOO advanced. Also we should limit the initial unit buying points to 3000 with a small map(80X80) Anyone reading this can respond if interested

Why the small map? Even in the 60's & 70's, the ranges of some of the main guns was more then 80. 80x80 in MBT is your basic 'chainsaws in a phone booth fight to the finish'. If you want to get to grips on how real world tactics translates into MBT tactics, you need more room. My usual minimum for MBT is 120x120. 160x160 is more reasonable, given that anything under 40 is pointblank range.
I could do an all infantry battle with only on-map mortars for support. Pick one of these wars and a side;

And we can get too it. I'll send an e-mail with slot choices, plus any other rules you want.
