Team Game?

[Jeff Conner]

I looked at the three scenarios that Marc has and I think the Liebstandarte scenario will do as well any of the three for a team game. He has more that he is working on that will be larger, but they are not complete yet.

I am leaving in a couple of hours for a bike ride in Chico and I won't be back online until tomorrow evening late. Since Compass Rose (cool name by the way), is not particular about which side he plays on, we'll "draft" him into the Army of the Rodina. That leaves Richie, Grofaz and Rabbit as the Germans. The Germans move first.

I don't know if any of you have played a team game before. It's really pretty simple. Each side determines an order that they will play in. The first player starts the game, plays with his units, saves the game including setting a password and then sends the saved turn and the password to the next player. Do not, repeat do not, end the turn unless you are the last player on your side. The completed turn is then passed on to your opponents. It's a good idea to send the turn to all of your opponents so that they can all see the replay if they are so inclined. You will need to have a discussion amongst yourselves on who will command which troops, what your plan is and who, if anyone, will be in command.

I've played several team games; I don't think I have ever been part of one that actually was completed before the players started to disappear. Squad Battles should be better in this regard as it plays much faster and while this is a long scenario for Squad Battles, it is only thirty turns. The Germans will be headed back to Berlin with their tails between their legs long before then anyway.

My email address is jefferyconner at suddenlink dot net if anyone needs it. I have Joao's, but not Compass Rose's (well I might, because I don't know your real name). Let's get this thing going.
