France '40 Gold Team Game

[Liebchen]

I think first thing to do is determine who is still "in" and fully committed to what will be very long PBEM. Second, determine who will be on what side (somebody has to play the Allies! - just kidding). Third, which scenario and which options for PBEM?

Speaking only for myself I'm "in" and committed to playing the Allies.

So far as PBEM rules and restrictions go as outlined by Mike, I am all for adopting numbers 4, 5, and 6. I'm against 1, 2, 3, and 7, however, because I feel they put the Allies in too much of a straitjacket, forcing them to almost repeat the historical mistakes. This makes things too predictable for the Germans. Both Teams should be masters of their own destiny.

As far as scenarios go, I favor B4 first (wired bridges/long), and B3 (wired bridges/shorter) second. They both have multiple German objective paths, which will keep the Allies honest, not able to count on the historical approach being taken.

Just my initial thoughts after reading the notes.

Many thanks to Mike Prucha for making his preliminary notes available for us to read!

EDIT: I'm wrong about B4 and B3! What I should have said was a "long" OR "short" Campaign that features wired bridges and multiple German objectives. Sorry about any confusion!

I'm in. I don't mind slower play, and I don't mind taking smaller commands.

... and adding, after having reviewed the last few posts, that I would also be willing to play as German, if I could get a few teammates.
