Very good. now we have a battle. If Dan has done what he should have to end my current battle, we can get this one started.

[Nicholas Ealing]

Damn, just missed out!

Have a good battle, guys.

P.S: If Patterson is slaughtered, does that mean I get to be the new commander of the 3ID? ;D

[PuNk! ™]

I'll happily mod this battle...
Would someone please run me through the ropes though quickly?

Such as; Units I'm expected to mod for instance. I hear a lot of armour, mortars, NATHAN and nothings really been clarified for the record. If you wish to keep your unit numbers secret, however, I don't see the point as each side is getting a little touchy about this... You can PM me a rough estimate of what I'm to expect.

I'll make this battle a premium battle for free if you would like?
I understand everyone's most likely got a copy of the map, but you'll have a fog of war and however many units you wish to bring, doesn't matter. Just an idea. So everyone's happy with bringing whatever they like.

I also know war isn't fair, but from what I've read, Doc - don't mind me saying, you've tried to make this a little lop-sided. Understandable by all means, no one wants to lose, but does both sides have an agreement or compromised somewhere?
~Danny

[☤Theodorijk Wijzemens]

I would very much like a premium battle if everyone else is fine with that. We've all seen the map, however another one could be made? Or we could just deal with this one. I'm still waiting for Dan to post in my current battle. It should be the last one.

So, I'll remove the counts of how many people we have and we'll just go on without knowing. However, I would ask that we keep the 72 hour limit on posting.

Alright, I'm quite happy to make this battle premium orientated just for you.
I feel the area has become neglected, so I hope this battle alone proves just how thriling it could be to use the area more often - fog of war.

Also, I would like to keep this battle no more than two or three per side. You have to understand, from my perspective, having two per side will be hard enough, three is pushing it. So if any third counter-parties were to join, would they potentially only be; Weaker members?

That sounds very crude, I know, but I hope you understand, that as this battle is going to be premium orientated, you could effectively bring as many troops as you like. So if every single person was to bring their entire force, this is going to bleed me dry. So can we have two main members and a perhaps third weaker member (with little or no troops) for the fray?

The current sign-up is;
Allied:
- Patterson
- S.McMillan
- No third party

Axis:
- Kriegheld
- Strumfelder
- Hans

---

Will the current sign-ups remain the same?
I need you to PM me details please Doc, because I'd hate to open the flood-gates when you didn't want to be opposed against numerous enemies or vice versa. This is your battle.
~Danny

[hansvonspekle]

When will we get started, in a few days or a few weeks?

[Nathan Whyte]

So, I could bring as many planes as I want? I like it I'm ready when you guys are.

[PuNk! ™]

Look guys... Guys...

Nathan, as far as I'm concerned, you're practically not in the battle. So, your role is only "Possibly" if successfully called in by a Communication officer. A PM has been sent to Doc' requesting his terms. Premium battles do not have strict curfues on how many units you're allowed to bring, but they do provide necessary barriers to prevent overkill from happening.

So until I recieve his terms, I think everyone should remain patient.
The information he's to provide me with is;

Infantry Units: (Includes ALL special units)

Infinite (however many units you wish to bring, full out war)
or
Barriers (They go up in; 10/20/30/40/etc - so no odd numbers, say, 17 or 23 even)

---

Vehicles:

Armour: Yes/No
Light Vehicles: Yes/No

Again, there's absoloutely no limit for these either. Just a simple yes or no. In some circumstances, I may allow minor barriers, but let's face it guys, there are three or maybe four members that have tanks here. Ranging from 1 - 4, when this place gets a little more heated, I would be happy to enforce vehicle barriers, but I see no point as of yet.

So as you can see, once the terms have been clarified for his Premium Battle, I may notify everyone in an official sign-up thread. The whole point of having "Unknown Unit" limits or "Very Rough" unit limits, is so it adds to the unknown benifactor of the fog of war. More thrilling and much more realistic.

For instance; I will only highlight troops on the map that have been spotted. So all troop movements made on the map must be PM'd to me - these details will be clarified in the official sign-up thread I'll make in the premium area, so everyone understands how they're to perform/post. So don't worry too much right now guys, I'm trying to pull this together for you as soon as, so everyone can plan their tactics with sufficient time before starting.

You've seen the map, that's more than enough to get your brains ticking.
- Oh for the record, Nathan, if you're called into the fray, a large radius area will be revealed to the Allies of the enemy positions. Assuming the communication officer is with one of the two allied members WHEN you're called in. As if to relay information.

I'm treating this as a very realistic battle. So only units spotted by NPCs or members, will only be highlighted on the map. If and when they evade the line of sight, they will disappear into the fog of war again. So yes, sneaking up on your enemy is MORE than capable, IF you know where they are. Hehe!

Intro-

Strumfelder
von Spekle
Patterson
S. McMillan

Battle-
Kriegheld
Patterson
Strumfelder
S. McMillan
von Spekle
...and it starts again.

Let PuNk! know your numbers soon. It would be great if we can get this started by Saturday.

the limits are as follows:
Infantry: as many as 50 (including support units i.e engineers, artillery cadets)
Armour: yes
Vehicles: yes
Artillery: yes

For the placement of troops, use the middle sized dot on MSPaint. I made the map proportional to that size.

~Doc

[MAJ Patterson]

Well that changes things a bit, going from 30 infantry to 50 infantry

I'll go over my numbers once more with McMillan, create a finalized roster and send it on over to PuNk!

[PuNk! ™]

Posting order is fine, unit/vehicle allowance is fine.

Although, if any Artillery/Tanks are brought, the crews to them will not be calculated as being infantry. I will count them simply as one vehicle or piece of artillery altogether. As these units will only have side-arms and not rifles.

Snipers, engineers, sergeants, etc... Will be counted as Infantry. All sound good guys?
So just simply remember, if it has a rifle or a better weapon, then it's counted as Infantry.

One last request I would like to make is the following:
When you PM me the full roster of details regarding your units, would you please simply name the thread - Allied Unit Roster or Axis Unit Roster. Please!

I have over 800 PMs and trust me, some messages can get buried very quick, so it would help me find these important threads a lot quicker. Thank you.
