[Heiko Alkema]

To help kick start this sign-up, I'll supply up to 6 Pvt NPCs to any Axis players that wish to join but can't supply their own NPCs.

[Jonas Merhoff]

Keep a slot open for me on the Axis side. I may join.

[Roland Wickliff]

If Merhoff doesn't, I will...

[Sgt. Howard Jefferson]

I'd like to join if possible.

[Jonas Merhoff]

Tell you what. I'm feeling a bit crazy. Seeing as you guys are both new, I'd be willing to go 1 v 2.

However, first off I think the map is a bit small for a 12 v 12. So I think you should just limit to half of that.

And since it would be a 1v2, I'd take a chunk more men to keep it fair.

How would this sound?

Allies:

6 Normal Units
1 Special Unit

Axis:

8 Normal Units
1 Special Units

Also, so the first post is neutral. I'm assuming both of your first posts would then be your landing craft moving towards the beach?

[Sgt. Nick Staffing]

I was under the assumption that I would be the 2nd Allied player?

[Heiko Alkema]

It's Brandon's call as its his battle.

Dibs on modding, bee-tee-dubs.

[Sgt. Nick Staffing]

While it is indeed his decision, this thread ( issuingorders.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=barracksbunks1&action=display&thread=3195&page=2 ) was pretty much created for this battle.

[Heiko Alkema]

Yes, I understand. I'm merely pointing out that only Brandon Martin can decide who participates in his battle. If you were the intended second player, no one but Brandon can change that.

In the future, though, please make a note in the original post if certain player slots are already taken due to prior arrangements. Alternatively, you, yourself, should post in the thread making in known that you are the second player.

[Sgt. Howard Jefferson]

Yeah I went under the impression the second slot was open. No harm no foul. Perhaps he could open it up to 3vs3?

Either way, no worries. If not this one I'll make the next jump!

[Jonas Merhoff]

3 v 3 are rather hard to mod and are usually only for larger battles. The usual battles are 1 v 1 or 2 v 2. The map is also much too small for a 3 v 3 and I've already agreed to make it a 1 v 2, so I don't really see why he would make it a 3 v 3 anyway. Besides, Heiko is a new moderator so let's let him start with a smaller battle.

Sorry that you didn't make it into the battle though Jefferson. Perhaps I will meet you on the battlefield another day?

[Sergeant Brandon Martin]

Sorry for such a long wait yes Staffing is the second man I just wanted him to clarify instead of imposing sorry Jefferson. And to Jonas I enjoy a challenge so it stands at 2 v 2 I will say Jonas and Roland will be the axis members in this little skirmish and of course Heiko you can mod

[Jonas Merhoff]

Right-o then.

I'm going to be taking Wickliff on as my ally then, I'm sure we can give you and Staffing quite a "challenge". Wickliff, I'll PM you the plan and help you out a bit on your first battle. I see you seem to get left out on battles, so I should take you into the battlefield with me then, eh?

So what are the numbers? Again I feel like it's too small for the 12 v 12, so should it be 6 regular and 1 special then?

[Sergeant Brandon Martin]

the map looks small but considering if you use the landing crafts to scale everything each holds a full squad so the house are actually quite large so yeah im gonna see how
12 v 12 each side gets one special unit
I want staffing to command our special unit since he is a man shorter than i
so it looks like in reality
11 v 12 haha o well lets see how it goes.
Everyone ok with these stipulations?
