Can we discuss and kick around your current plan for 46Fus.Bn. retrograde out of Migojo and to go into the forest hex? Are you telling him to exit the map during this CM battle or you will move him at 0700 during your turn 1b axis movements?

Fresh air and sunshine: Serk is in the forest with the StuGs and Volksdeutsche Kompanie. He will fight Snols. Quaint shops and pretty girls: mirek once again has the Fusiliers in Migojo. He will fight Pallebahtep.

For my old eyeballs, I also agree. Just a small hex to fit a small unit counter. When we host a screenshot as we create the latest status during operational moves, it is somewhat zoomable. Like clicking the op map up at post #10. It gets bigger, right? Can I get an "amen brother" on that? Actually, I tried myself and it has a magnifying glass symbol but does NOT seem to get much better. I wonder what the trick is for this project? Upload a large scale HD image and then it WILL have zoom capability? Anybody got some tips on this issue? Thanks in advance.

I have created 2 dropbox folders. 1 for each battle and invites are going out to the players. I have some slight tweaks to do to the forest battle but it should be ready to start tonight after the opponents have reviewed it. Migojo battle is in production and will be done tonight.

Thanks Doug. Now my old eyes can see it 100%. I have created 2 dropbox folders. 1 for each battle and invites are going out to the players.

That is good customer service! Thanks.

Hi Doug, I am divorced! ************************************** This again is just some test case work to develop the idea.

We are just making some fictional unit numbers while we await anyone to step up with actual real unit information, some OOB and TOE we can use for historical accuracy. Not too many books about this battle yet! I went with a letterbox shape based on working with Panzer Campaigns but now I see my knee jerk reaction was wrong. The unit counters IN the hexes should be square while more information off to the side as you select a hex CAN be in letterbox shape. Easy fix. We need artists to continue the unit counter work for both sides. paint.NET or photoshop type chores.

No. I am still working it. Taking a bit longer than I thought. I will post a link today after work.

I am away on a roadtrip vacation 7/19-8/3 but when I get back we can get organized and see who wants to be on the development team. Right now I am working with exsonic01 on the Op Map concept. He is a very quick learner and has good ideas. We are examining the + and - to hex size for the Op Level movements and how this impacts set up zone on a CM battle map. We have made some dummy unit counters for now. UKR and SEP units to move around on the op map. This test version shows 500m hexes. We get granularity for the placement of units on a large CM battlemap when we go to tactical resolution. Note: I do not own or plan to purchase CMBS but am here to assist this get up on its own hind legs and provide advice and guidance as/if needed.

Doug, on your post #104 above, please change the color on the various AA and PL text. It is hard to read on the 3D map.

Alma....Small town? Not if I was a tanker!

FLASH MOD! 2 muddy mainland Shermans....for your CMFI Z folder. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/0pwnrw5vbjhu4x4/AACJAZcrilRI6gWJ8vl-XgMAa?dl=0 "ALMA" is I believe the name of Stonecutter's tank from his active days with the Canadian Armoured Forces...<I apologize and will let him correct me if I am wrong>. "APACHE" is an actual wartime Italian-theater Sherman as depicted in this Canadian war art...

I have assigned every Soviet company OOB an accordion player....

You guys are really getting into this role play stuff. And it is only 0600!

Bud, maybe that is one reason you are still married to Christine but I am divorced?

OK, I got it!

Somebody test it. <at work or I would test it>

Thanks Doug! We're gonna spend the whole dang day there. We'll do this special "USS TANG submarine mission interactive thing" where you are a crewmember and have to do stuff. We'll read EVERY freaking display. And see a special Tom Hanks movie. Compared to a Bayeux, France D-Day museum I went to way back in '94 with my newlywed wife. She stayed out in the rental car. I came out after 90 minutes and she was not thrilled when I said I was just checking on her!

Good proposal Matt! But Dennis is probably on the money with what BFC will reply.

Hi Doug, Yes, you assume correctly. All of these artillery assets of yours will be off-map and for an FO, will show up as available assets as applicable for how you split them. I am at work <curses!> but I think the heavy mortars can be split 2 for the Migojo battle and 2 for the forest battle if you so desire. One of the rules we use for artillery is to save it for the CM battle where it can be devastatingly effective versus the poor results you see in the Op turn. And in fact you must choose either or. Can't have both. You can save it for all your CM battles and never use it in the op turns. If you move the artillery in the op turn and it is setting up, then it may be unavailable for the CM battles for that turn and maybe the next. Not your case at this time!

Hey, I am taking a road trip with my son Ben (age 15) headed out of central Texas and we will go see the National WW2 Museum in New Orleans <and then on east to NASA, etc.>. Arriving 19 July late and seeing the museum on Monday 20 July, departing 21 July. Anybody around that area want to have a face to face hello for a drink or lunch or see the museum? PM me or holler back here! Phil

How about this new carrot and stick idea? Where as I have indeed made AAR as non-mandatory, I am thinking how to show preference to PBEM foot soldiers who do post screenshots with an interesting narrative. This could be head of the line treatment for future battles or perhaps a special addition or interesting wrinkle in their next battle.
