Into the War

[Roland Wickliff]

I've got no issues.

[Jonas Merhoff]

Scaling down the men to fit the map better doesn't seem like a good idea to me. Because then it seems we are fighting in giant houses where 3 men can fit in a window? :/

And it would actually be 13v13 if each side can get 12 regular units and 1 special unit, correct? Anyway, I think we would be better off increasing the size of the men and making it 7v7.

[Heiko Alkema]

How about a happy-medium at 10 v 10?

[Jonas Merhoff]

Mmm. I guess I'd be alright for 10v10 then. Could you make your dots on the map bigger though? Kind of hard to see really. Didn't even notice you had added yourself onto the map until I noticed that tiny green dot.

[Sgt. Nick Staffing]

Sounds good to me, just remake the map so it looks less cluttered.

[Jonas Merhoff]

Ah the maps fine, let's just get this battle rolling 10 v 10 then (9 NPCS, 1 SNPC), shall we?

And I'm guessing the posting order will be as follows:

Martin
Merhoff
Staffing
Wickliff

Also, since the first post in neutral, you two will be posting in the landing craft correct? Because I don't think Merhoff would just sit and watch a few guys on a beach without shooting.

Yes, I'm just a tad bit confused on the Special NPC part... Anyone want to fill me in?

[Jonas Merhoff]

The regular NPCs are Privates and Corporals. Special NPCs are any NPC that is not a Pvt or Cpl. For example: Sergeant, MG gunner/team, Engineer, etc.

[Nathan Whyte]

I hate to throw a spanner in the works, but looking at the 3ID roster, neither Staffing nor Martin have special NPCs.

[Sergeant Brandon Martin]

I was going to ask a CO to err "borrow" a special npc. Of course if they said no I was planning on just dropping the idea entirely.

[Sgt. Nick Staffing]

I ended getting another NPC Private. Since it Brandon and I both now have 6 men, I request we make it a simple 10 v 10 (You and 4 NPCs, no special units). Sound good?

[Jonas Merhoff]

Wait... what? :/

How does us plus 4 NPCs = 10?

And how do you 2 with your 6 NPCs= 10?

That doesn't make a 10v10. Have I been doing my maths wrong all these years?

2 members...with 4 NPCs each...equals 10

And I'm pretty sure he was just stating that they had more than enough men to cover their end of the idea.

Ah, they're doing it differently from the norm then. 10 v 10 usually means 10 npcs vs 10 npcs, not 1 + 4npcs and 1 + 4 npcs. Confused me.

But so that's an 8v8, all regular npcs, then? I guess I'm down with that.

[Sgt. Nick Staffing]

Yes, 8 v 8 (NPCs only) and 2 v 2 (Members), which equals 10 v 10. If anyone has any objections to this, state them, otherwise let's get this battle going.

[Sgt. Nick Staffing]

Hate to double post, but I kind of want to get this battle moving- Brandon, you ready?

[Sergeant Brandon Martin]

Well if its an 8v8 not including the members than yes.
I suggest all you men pick your top 4 men and prepare for war.
Sorry to keep you all waiting by the way been having issues in life but all is well now.
I will re-do map to for troop size and post it in the conflict thread itself.
