Question Re Red, Blue and Green OOBs - Page 2

Sgt_Walrus · #1 March 6th, 2011, 08:10 PM

Hi Guys
Thanks as always for your great work.

Sometimes when creating PBEM tournaments, and some one off battle, Green and Red can be very handy for having a 'neutral' flag, as such, that you can then add to with the Allies button. Sometime we set up using these Flags so we can have an unlimited choice from all OOB with no 'nation' being set as the start point.

To be fair, it is quite occasional, and I don't think I have ver used "Blue" for anything in PBEM.

As for NZ splitting off from the ANZAC OOB...Hurrah!
I would back that 100%
Maybe you could incorporate the Fijian Brigade into the NZ OOB as it was operational from Guadalcanal time as scouting force in the Pacific, mostly with NZ, Brit and Aussi officers.
Obviously then you could have the Maori Battalion represented separately as well, which would be excellent.

Obviously there were many more similarities than real differences in the OOBs, and ANZAC has been an excellent way to deal with it up to this point...but a NZ OOB by itself would be quite special.
If you could spare the tie and hassle...I would surely use it often :-)

Cheers lads!

HOW MANY PEOPLE BOTHER WITH SPANISH CIVIL WAR BATTLES
Me, I've played all the Civil War scenarios in the game and will play more if somebody writes more.

Regards,

OK fair enough, but I wasn't really focusing on scenarios but rather on regular generated battles and PBEM

It's good to know at least a few players do

Oh...I forgot to add that I also have played quite a few Spanish Civil War PBEM over time.
It would be a shame to lose anything from those very intense OOBs.
It was, after all, quite an important conflict for many reasons.

Thanks as always for your excellent work chaps

I use the Green for South Africa, I've used the Blue for my old Atlantis orbat. I started a Turkey orbat in Red, but gave it up because I couldn't find anything in a language I could read. Currently I use red for a generic guerrilla/irregular warfare orbat.

Realizing the chance is minute, I would vote for a Swiss OOB. They had a modern army and there were invasion plans developed. Would be fascinating to explore.

And while I know there is really no chance, I would also enjoy a Swedish OOB. Same reasons.

Switzerland - use blue or red, whichever generates more mountain batlocs.

This Swedish OOB you are wanting would presumably replace the existing OOB #36, then? The one with the blue flag with a gold cross on it on the battle generator?..

See my "Swiss Blue" post in the main OOB thread below the stickys.

(I had a spare afternoon, and looked WW2 Switzerland up - not really very "modern" at all, it seems!)
