OpC H2H Productions News:
There are currently 15 Approved PzC/MC scenarios for you to enjoy, all of these scenarios have been thoroughly tested for H2H PBEM play and can be reported just the same as stock scenarios and for the same points, they can be found here…
Approved scenario list
My testing team had another success with
Volcano Man’s ninth scenario being added to the growing list,
MG44 Hells Highway_Alt is another quality product from the OpC H2H area which the whole community can enjoy.
General News:
I would like to start by drawing player attention to the four
sticky threads at the top of the main OpC forum, one highlights the
H2H area and what is on offer there, another lists the
Optional rules that must be used if you play or test
Volcano Man’s _ALT scenarios. There is also a
“What every player should know” thread packed full of info and useful links and lastly there is a brand new thread listing the
Optional rules in PzC and MC titles with an explanation of their uses and effects
(New Opt rules article) .
Make sure you check out the excellent AAR between
Dog Soldier & RickyB as part of the Ostkrieg tourney
(Ostkrieg AAR) , what the AAR also proves is how good the Blitz H2H scenarios can be, also
Von Nev has a very interesting Minsk44 campaign AAR ongoing
(SS Totenkopf "Fire Brigade" AAR) both these threads plus many others can be found in the OpC AAR sub forum.
Also I would like to bring your attention to the amazing amount of PzC/MC scenarios supported at the Blitz, obviously there are the
stock HPS scenarios that come with the disc’s which must now run into hundreds, second I am sure almost all of you must be aware of
Volcano Man’s _ALT scenarios of which there are almost one
_ALT version of every stock scenario, so that must run into several hundreds as well, add in the 15
H2H Approved scenarios and the 80+ various
Player Mod scenarios that I have gathered at the new Mod sub forum
(Mod forum) all of these scenarios have an entry in the DB and can be reported for ladder points, I think you will agree the Blitz OpC area has the best scenario resource available on the net!
The forum has been active as usual, in response to posts on the subject it was obvious there was a need for more clarity on the grey subject of optional rules hence the new sticky thread already mentioned above, the “old chestnut” of AT guns vulnerability when retreating in T mode was raised again by
Wien1938 (AT gun thread) , it was hoped that if there is another TillerCon Blitz members would again raise this issue with John Tiller.
Zemke started a great debate on the advantages and disadvantages of breaking down battalions
(Battalion thread) and a fun thread by
Krak (Funny Thread) asking how many games we manage to play at any one time and still have a life produced some extraordinary answers!
A present we have 49 players in Bootcamp, I have been glad to see that any who do post for a game are finding opponents without much delay, thank you to all who help these new players out.
The Player Profiles have been well received; anybody who would like a questionnaire should contact
Foul. there are 50 points on offer for each one posted.
Any problems or issues on the HPS OC ladder can be posted on the forum or you can Email
Dog Soldier OpC Ladder Commander or Email
Foul. Asst OpC Ladder Commander who will try to help you out!
That’s it for now, enjoy your gaming and have FUN! ;)
Regards Darran aka Foul.
