Turn 1A will start soon and so now I am introducing a system that is used often out there with boardgames and such. Action Cards! "Random Action Cards" These will be a set of cards for the 2 sides of various things that can occur to spin your world to the smile or the frown. Each side will randomly get one at the start of each side's phase. Some may be useful and some may go unused for that phase. such is life. I got some of these from somebody and can't remember who it was to thank. Some I have made up myself like this very first one.

I am also going to have spaghetti tonight (and red wine) in recognition of that event. Thanks for sharing that! <<Now for some Italian language training as an aside note. In Italian, the ci and chi have different sounds. c and i together give you the ch sound in English Church or chimney. The famous watch Gucci is Goo-Chee. The coffee with milk is cappuccino KAP-Poo-Chee-No. But it is a funny trick to us English speakers that the C+h+i combo is not the church sound but is pronounced as a hard k sound like the word key. So Pachino is indeed PA-KEY-No. And old Godfather Michael Coreleone actor Al Pacino is Al Pa-chee-no. >>

Take a muster and report casualties!

Road ahead haz swimmywaggon?

You can also request any unit to start in transport mode. T Mode I call it. Please read about it in the online users manual. It can help on roads by saving MP's. http://www.johntillersoftware.com/PanzerCampaigns/user/index.html

Once again the Irish Guards mount up and press forward....

It is indeed. But feel free to adjust any of that within SUZ3...

Oh, the title is closely similar!

I hate when my job interferes with my hobby! Couldn't get nuttin' done today. Then I was easy listening to some Pandora Joe Pass radio and my boss asks me how many GB that is drawing. Oh jeez. We get a republican in the Whitehouse and I am applying for a government grant to write CM stuff 24/7. The day got so bad I went to the break room fridge and had a beer...

A secret project the Marder-Wespe double barrel combo?

There is Vassal for operational level maps. There is also JTS and editable unit counters and OOB and you can change city names and shop for a geographic likeness from say the Danube area to the area covered by CMBS. http://www.johntillersoftware.com/ModernCampaigns.html

It is a double-edged sword to try to make a scenario or campaign because you aim to successfully create what you envision and what pleases you as the author. Then anybody reviewing can always be displeased if they were in your shoes would assume a different approach. I like a little variety in my campaign missions as a break or change of pace. In fact some feedback says they needed a short mission as they were getting burned out. But if you have a buddy, maybe he can unpack the X campaign and make an all long mission hybrid and you make a different hybrid for him/her. As long as you don't upload it as your own work you can go in and make some alterations and resave by a new name. Make sure the designers notes track what you did and date of any PM's to the original author for CYA.

I think there are several routes toward some resolution to your lack of campaigns and such. 1. An actual multiplayer campaign with umpire/game master: This can definitely be done although I don't play CMBS but I am enjoying organizing such an animal over in the WW2 titles. I searched for what GunDoc was doing but didn't find it. Maybe collaborate with him and assist to create something. or develop your own. I am available to provide some advice and guidance from what I have learned. PM me if you want this option. 2. A working group of several people to create a decent sized batch of QB-like scenarios. High speed and low drag with no fancy briefings to increase production. You get the other authors' AI force and so it is a surprise with fog of war. Maybe everyone has the same core force or you exit off at setup the parts you don't want but it is always ALL presented so you cannot spot your own scenario. Maintains surprise and for a few nights of work in the editor you could get weeks of single player enjoyment. Just some crazy ideas. I always like to have the mindset to NOT ask or wait for the government to come and help but instead to just do it or die trying.

Hey Bruce Is that an Osprey campaign book?

Standby Bud. I will pull some strings and get you into the VIP lounge...

Start one up!

You guys have Luftwaffe air support. This was indeed an historical appearance of significant luftwaffe air support. Later tonight, I will post a small table that shows when they are available. I think right from 0600... PzC says they are He-111's but we can use the CMRT German aircraft types. Which I can't recall off hand. Anybody know?
