John F Monahan Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Ok ANZACs, How about a CPX that I will host against a standard Red force? I am thinking a variation of a standard scenario so the Red players will need very little planning. You guys get a team together, pick a time that is OK for US guys and use ANZAC units in place of the standard Blue. Use the scenario balancer to get equivalents. How about a week from this coming Sunday, February 25th? Please respond promptly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Gilbert Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Let's see, 9AM Sunday in ANZAC land is late-afternoon Saturday here in the USA East Coast ... count me in, I'll play RED to give our ANZAC cousins something to shoot at! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent Smith Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 okay, okay. I saw this over at SZO as well! after all my bitch'n and moaning about timezones I guess I'm a conscript. (very newbie!, never done a cpx, so please assign me a bit-part) email:blurdesign_at_optusnet_dot_com_dot_au for info on what happens next... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Gilbert Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Alright! Now we just need another couple ANZAC players and we've got a battle! Looking forward to this ... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibsonm Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Guys, Happy to help out. gibsonm_at_bigpond_dot_net_dot_au Indeed I have some real (topo) maps too if you don’t want to fight on the three shades of green standard ones. Also have some scenarios already setup with AS forces against our training OPFOR (AS atk, OPFOR delay) if that’s useful? Maps are fairly big though (10Mb +) so may not be ideal for downloading. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gibsonm Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 They aren’t. Well they are “new” to us but they are 2nd hand and aren’t at M1A2 (let alone SEP or TUSK) standard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gibsonm Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Ah so light duties until she is up to completing the house painting task. That must be worth a shed load more than 2 dozen roses - surely? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent Smith Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 sorry to breakup the 'love-in' gentlemen. I'm new to this cpx'n stuff. so what happens now? -oh yeah, an' roses to my partner, for keeping the children at arms length for the 25th. (although I could still be handed a paint brush for the house if she reads this thread.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John F Monahan Posted February 15, 2007 Author Share Posted February 15, 2007 We need to set and announce a time. The ANZAC players need to pick forces and a scenario (or I can), set them up and email me the saved .tac file. If needed I can call (.05 US per minute)or we can chat online or use Skype. You will need IRC client software for the CPX. It's all easier than it sounds. You might want to conspire with Mark. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent Smith Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Given how all the pre-planning coordination of who has what can take some time, and also my cpx newbie status; I'm quite happy to have my units predetermined/ imposed for me. (at least for the first go!)So John feel free to dictate terms. -just a couple of things. I use skype, very straightforward. But with mirc there appear to be very few servers around with which to connect from the default list. Is there any server/ channel I can drop into to test the system? I have tried searching around the battlefront forums for the combat mission server, but couldn't find the details... I have played one tcp/ip tacops game and used the chat system built into the game. Seemed quite good, so why the need for mirc? Is it because ALL players can see the discussion, and can not be separated by teams? regards Smith - in reply to your email: Sunday is better than Saturday for me.

John F Monahan Posted February 16, 2007 Author Share Posted February 16, 2007 IRc allows multiple channels for all and teams. The server we use is: comms.tacopshq.com (7024). Gibsonm, what say ye? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibsonm Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Sorry been away for a while (some issues with an upcoming deployment). I’m afarid I’m not not sure of my availability for this weekend. Given that its an intro maybe we just pick a time on Sunday and do some simple Tk Vs Tk stuff rather than trying to defend against the 3rd Gds Shock Army smashing into Bavaria whilst co-ordinating Arty and fast air. That way people can put their toe in the water and get used to the idea (perhaps even a talk through walk through type thing) rather than having 1 min turns and having their OODA loop being overwhelmed? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rattler Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 well, folks, if you need to chose players, here my email: rattler_at_eventfoto_dot_com Any job, any side. Let me know the time this thingy is planned in GMT please so i can set my alarm clock... :-> Rattler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent Smith Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I like the way your thinking here Major G. My time's limited, and if I get the CPX bug, I'd probably be prepared to play more and for longer. I set up mirc to use comms.tacopshq.com. Nobody there, (obviously). So I guess I'm ready, although rusty. Which scenario were your planning on using, I'd like to get in some training.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John F Monahan Posted February 16, 2007 Author Share Posted February 16, 2007 Gents, I am looking at a week Sunday, the 25th. What time do you want? I'll pick a simple setup and post is very soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent Smith Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Thanks for the conversion Major G. How many teams, etc? Do we need to chat before-hand? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John F Monahan Posted February 19, 2007 Author Share Posted February 19, 2007 No prior planning needed except to set up your IRC. Log on to IRC a half an hour early and we'll go from there. Channel #tacops. Please ensure that you have the latest version of Tacops and that you know how to configure your firewall. If you want email me 2200Z Wednesday and we can check your firewall then. It should only take a minute or two. You need to have port 7023 open. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
