Artkin Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 This kind of thread may have been done previously, but I figured I'd voice my opinion anyway. If it was possible, I think it'd be really cool to have 4v4 battles etc... Have one person command company HQ level elements, then his three platoon leaders under him command their platoons. Playing like this in real time would make battles feel much better and leave less stress to the players. Personally I would not mind playing a role as laid back as a company HQ element which calls in cas, approves artillery, recons...etc. What do you guys think about this kind of hierarchy? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 We used to attempt some large battles in CM1 with teams on each side. The problem was that it only takes one person to fail to keep up a satisfactory rate of returning files and everyone is screwed. Maybe better in a situation where everyone is in close physical proximity so you can go kick butts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artkin Posted September 23, 2017 Author Share Posted September 23, 2017 (edited) I was talking about real time. I understand how hectic things could be through pbem. Spreading the workload can make battalion level battles much less stressful and enjoyable I think.

Erwin Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 (edited) I would think RT could be even worse. Someone needs a bathroom break? Needs to answer the door? The phone rings... Edited September 23, 2017 by Erwin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erwin Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Yup and then everyone else waits and waits and waits... and then someone else has to stop for a while. And on it goes. It's hard enuff doing multiplayer using PBEM. In RT it could be horrendous. Have already been thru this with CM1. Am aware that "one can't teach anybody anything". So, you'll have to learn the hard way. But, hey, you may get lucky. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Ah, I see your point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artkin Posted September 24, 2017 Author Share Posted September 24, 2017 Well how often do things like that happen? The Wargame series does the same thing to a much lesser realistic scale. Sure there are a couple duds here and there but this community is significantly more mature. Of course it's optional to play the way I propose. People can still play 1v1. However, if you assemble a team of players and coordinate well, you could steamroll opponents. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
