OPERATION EXPORTER - Multiplayer "User vs AI" Campaign

[gila]

As far as CO,the job goes to whom ever accepts,
icamp said earlier he would take it if no one accepts,
All good players here,we just need a CO,to get this rocking
I'll do it if no other takers.

I can see a Band of Brothers campaign working well in this format also.

One other detail,
Is excessive suppresive fire allowed?
Most cases in pbem hu v hu,there might be restrictions,
The AI does not use it the way a human may, and have a big handicap there.
I don't use z-fire unless been fired on from a suspected location against the AI.
Latley have a rule of never using in pbem.
Otherwise it's alot of waiting time as someone fires every round they have,very boring and gamey imo.

Good point. I'm thinking about having a rule that z-fire is only allowed against /suspected unseen targets and against vehicles (since AT capability is pretty limited in this time period).

I use the "z" when I know the position of the enemy prior to an assault. or to avoid an assault the enemy. Bone is the use of fire suppression.
Could be used to suppress a hypothetical position but reveals our own position.

Ditto... EXTENSIVE use of z-fire is another matter and actually is quite annoying. Also, isn´t the unit who shoots broadside less capable of op-fire the next turn? I´m not sure...

Think excessive z-fire does affect a units ability to have op fire.
Not good when you are counting on the other platoons for support and one went a bit nuts previously,and can't op fire when needed most

Well, I've no plans to outlaw it but think there should be some restrictions. As for what I am still working on it. Maybe it should just be a self control issue where you use it when you think it should be used, primarily against unknown targets (suspected enemy positions) and prior to assaulting, kinda situations.

Good point!
Thats the mmg's team job to lay down suppresive fire on a point of assault.
However it does give enemy arty something to plot on.
