Butschi Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 So, at the start I saw one file, loaded it was shown the Soviet flag, and could enter a save game name. That's it, so far, so good. Now my opponent has sent one turn, I am to play as the US now. If, this time, I want to avoid a situation where my opponent can exploit knowledge about both starting zones that means I should wait for the other files where I am to play the Soviet side, right? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not for the exiting points but so that you'll have less people available to die. Unless, you feel like you can cause more casualties with them remaining on the map than you might lose by leaving them on. The part about them being counted as casualties by not exiting won't apply unless you finish the battle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how I understood it. I send my file when it was there and I got back both files for setup from my oppo after. Not sure if he also got to look at both while doing his setup? @jheinrichk. Anyway this battle has all the expensive toys in it (and some twists). Let's see how fast we can turn those into smoking hulks! :D. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes this battle you can sure expect artillery and air all on your setup zone for both sides! But I like it, even without the exit objective working as intended due to the scoring. USSR forces need to utilize their doctrine to perform. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chibot Mk IX Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 (edited) I upload my US file yesterday first, then today I open my Soviets game. Quote Oh Crap, Soviets CRPs don't have any AD?

And fun is the most important imo. Although for a mirror game that would have to be implemented by both sides. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it starts every player gets at least that. Once you've played that your opponent will have 2 turns waiting for them. But you definitely have 1 now.....Although it is only setting up the Red password that you don't even need.

ALBY Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Cargol and I have some issues. 1. Slitherine sent him a PBEM file from a non tournament game for my US turn 5 I think. It was my second actual minute. I have turn 4 in my slitherine box now. I guess I can re-play it ? Weird. 2. My Russian Turn is on Turn 3 and has a password and I have yet to play a Russian turn nor did I set a password. I also have my timed out round 1 files in my box. I timed out as advised per this thread. I am traveling and this resort has internet that is a little spotty and I keep losing connection. My normal PBEM games are all working fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
