Bigduke6 Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 JasonC, Sure I'll be overall Soviet commander. My command will be ruthless, violent, and strictly along party lines. Some warnings and qualifications. First I am very reliable for doing gaming stuff during the week (ask my ROWV opponents), but weekends not. Personally I am not overly enthused about the tactical battle side. I rate myself as a competent but far from outstanding CMBB player, so frankly I am not the best guy to actually do a fight. Also I almost always don't have enough time for TC/IP, so I am a bad "fill-in" commander. PBEM I can do but I understand how that doesn't help so much. Something to consider, if that disqualifies me as Sove commander well that's life in the big city. OTOH I like operational and have some experience with things Soviet. Hope that floats yer boat. If it does for duplication's sake use two e-mails to get me: dpaukraine@kiev.relc.com korshakhome@kiev.relc.com 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonC Posted April 16, 2005 Author Share Posted April 16, 2005 Theodor Eicke has joined the campaign on the Russian team. Briefings and operational maps have been sent. We are now underway, doing set up for the 6 AM turn, 5 July. Good luck everyone, and have fun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platehead Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 Since CMMODS is down, does anyone have a copy of a grid mod that would help judge distance on the operational map? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonC Posted April 16, 2005 Author Share Posted April 16, 2005 Platehead - it is called the LOS tool. LOL. Just multiply by 10. That can't be hard 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platehead Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 Hehe, I've been doing that. Just being lazy and wanted a cool grid so I could just count squares. [ April 16, 2005, 03:50 PM: Message edited by: Platehead ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akula2 Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 If Platehead is in on this it can't be all that bad. I'd like to volunteer myself for anything you still have open, even alternate. My email is reghimself@comcast.net. I don't check these forums much anymore so if it's not too much trouble please email me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonC Posted April 17, 2005 Author Share Posted April 17, 2005 The side commanders are setting up. A few glitches to work out in terms of understanding my crazy system, then we will be underway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawg Bonz Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 The Kursk CMx10 campaign sounds like an excellent adventure. Is / will there be there any way for non participants to view the Kursk CMx10 campaign battles / AARs? Dawg 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg Bonz Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Thanks Adam, I understand & respect the FOW issue for the Kursk CMx10 campaign. The campaign abstraction sounds interesting and educative. Your AARs would be appreciated. You fellows should have an bang-up exploit. Have fun. Dawg 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigduke6 Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Just a note to the Soviet players, I will process my part of the set-up in the next couple of days. If you have any preferences or suggestions send me an e-mail. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonC Posted April 18, 2005 Author Share Posted April 18, 2005 Both sides have set up, and preliminary bombardments have been delivered. Now awaiting first turn movement orders. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonC Posted April 18, 2005 Author Share Posted April 18, 2005 On the AAR question, players are supposed to write one after each tactical fight. They won't be public during, for the obvious reason. But there is no objection to others seeing them later. For that matter, we will have the scenario files, so... I also heartily recommend players taking screenshots. I realize one doesn't have as much time for it in a TCP-IP game as in a PBEM, but you might manage to take 1-3 per fight and save them to "paint" etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akula2 Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 I'm pretty confused by the last email I got. I don't know wether it requires any action on my part or not. No map. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonC Posted April 18, 2005 Author Share Posted April 18, 2005 Want another map? You've got it, on the way. Just includes the results of the preliminary bombardments and such. But you ask, I send. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akula2 Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 There was no attachment on the email I recieved. It was addressed to you I believe from Adam. I'd be grateful for a map, yes. Email is reghimself@comcast.net I hope its made clear to me when I need to fight a battle and/or wether or not unit commanders need concern themselves with the operational map at all or does the overall commander move our units on the operational map. I think i've read everything yet these things are unclear to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonC Posted April 18, 2005 Author Share Posted April 18, 2005 The operational commander makes all the moves on the map. No tactical fights have occurred yet - we've just been setting up and dealing with a few operational preliminaries. Tactical commanders are encouraged to pay attention to developments so they know what is wanted from them in each tactical fight - but you don't need to give me operational orders. Your side commander will do that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akula2 Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Thank you Jason. I sort of figured that but I didnt want to risk inaction if action was required of me. Thanks again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WimpBastard Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Oh poop! Can i still join in? And will time-zones be a problem since i live in Ozzy-land? If theres still room my preference is Russian, and i'm usually free on Fri night, Sat and Sun Aussie time (AEST), which in American time equals Fri morning, Sat and Sun night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brent Pollock Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Okay, I think the idea finally penetrated this Chobham-armoured skull of mine. Originally posted by JasonC: Brent - the strategic commander is the leader for his side. He is expected to fill in and command a tactical battle whenever no one else on his team is available...[snipped by Brent]If you find yourself stuck for a tactical commander (either side), send me an e-mail (b3b@telusplanet.net) as there should be times when I could spend several hours on CM, especially from June - Sept. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonC Posted April 19, 2005 Author Share Posted April 19, 2005 If people have preferences they have to express them. If they do, I honor them. Theo whoever did not, so he went to the opposite side as the last guy in line before him. Simple. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonC Posted April 19, 2005 Author Share Posted April 19, 2005 The first of the moves have been ordered, and the first of the resulting scenarios has been constructed. Several more to make before resolving them all, but we are well underway and close to the first tactical fight. In fact, the side commanders can think about assigning people to a fight to take place on the east flank of the front line, now - because the scenario is ready to go. Here is the common briefing. 6 AM - East Flank Common briefing This fight takes place in the 6 AM (dawn) turn of 5 July, on the eastern flank of the front line. German units are advancing into prepared Russian positions. The terrain is rural open gentle slopes with heavy damage - a crater field in steppe. No man's land is thin - 200 meters between allowed set up zones. The ground is wet from brief rain last night and a few lower lying areas are soft ground. The orientation of the fight is south to north, with the north edge Russian controlled, the south edge German controlled, and the flanks neutral. Further information is restricted to each side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg Bonz Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 Jason, Thanks for the reply. AAR / scenario files availability subsequent to campaign I am sure will be interesting. Have fun in Kursk CMx10. Dawg 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
