Col Deadmarsh Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 I'm confused about what is what. And are there other ways of playing too? Thanks. Edited to add: Do most people on here play double blind or do you usually have both you and your opponent look over the map first?

Andrew H. Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 Blind means one player can't see; double blind means both players can't see. Otherways of playing what game in what context? You can also play where you can't see your own troops either - sort of command-level, where you relay your orders to another player, who tells you what happened and asks for your next orders. I don't know that there's a name for that, though. Quadruple blind? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imported_no_one Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 Double-blind is when both PBEM or tcp/ip participants enter a scenario,operation,or quick-battle-map,for the first time.Having no experience with the map,briefings or forces. Blind,I think,would refer to the fact that one person has intimate details about the scenario(whether from playing it,or making it)and the other person knows nothing about the scenario,op,etc.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David I Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Double blind means you have to play with your monitor turned off. That way you can simulate being the Battalion Commander. It's a challenge, but I won two games that way. DavidI 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brent Pollock Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Both against me, but only because I kept my monitor on but disconnected my mouse and keyboard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holman Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Do people really make a distinction between "blind" and "double-blind?" When I start up with a new opponent and we agree to pick a blind scenario, I believe it is understood that it will be one that neither of us has ever opened. (Otherwise, surely someone would have asked which one of us was allowed to have seen it before...) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

General Bolt Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 Blind= poke in the eye with a sharp stick. Double blind = poke in boff eyes with two sharp sticks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
