Working with SPMBT

[WBWilder]

Gentlemen!

Thank you! I appreciate the offers and I will take you up on it. Give me a few days to get myself acclimated to this new editor. I'll do that upon returning from Origens at Columbus. I'll be there most of next week. I'll be speaking Friday on Tactical Scenario Design for the 20th Century.

I have a question already on the editor which I'll place in a separate post.

Richard, thanks so much for your kind welcome. It will be a pleasure, I assure you.

Damn, Wild Bill is back? I've still got some of your SP2WW2 scenarios saved. I'll playtest whatever you post.

Wild Bill,

Its great to see you here. I'd love to test some of your campaigns. I prefere larger ones - battalion or multi-company core force. I know you tend to keep most of yours smaller (and more manageable). I just love the bigger battles. Let me know if you have any plans for a biggie.

Good to see all these familiar names..I've been waiting eagerly for the win version so I can use it easily on my PC, plus I missed modern fights.
Wild Bill, wasn't one of your old SP3 camapigns a monster about Iwo Jima? I'd love to try that one with this game.
well, hello all,
Tim

Hello Bill, nice to see you here ...

One little request - could you please make sure that the enemies mid-battle reinforcements do not pop up just under my tanks which outflank the enemy?
It's very annoying the get a rear shot from the neighbouring hex by something that just beamed into a hex I passed through the last turn.

Had this happen in SPWAW more than once. If it happens again, I'll call Scotty and let him beam me behind your back

Yes - that sort of pop up on the main map may be valid in a counter insugency type game though (insurgent appears out of a sewer, or it represents a "civilian" pulling out a grenade or whatever

However, on an open battlefield, arriving reinforcements should probably only appear right at the map edge they arrive on (within 1-2 hexes maybe), and not "teleport" into the main playing area .

Any of your troops who were hugging that edge and then suddenly found enemy troops in thier midst/flank/rear can be assumed to have been outflanked/and or ambushed by the enemy reinforcements arriving unexpectedly. So you will have to pay some attention to flank security on the map edges, and cannot then assume it is "dead ground" beyond the grey hexes !


Cheers
