Herr Kruger Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 Or is anybody in the process of doing so? I greatly enjoyed playing Short-75 Rules for CMBO, I was just wondering if anyone had done so. J Kruger 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanonier Reichmann Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 Yes. When you play me all you are allowed to chose from are units within the mechanised section of the force purchase screen. I, on the other hand, are allowed to choose whatever I like from any time period with absolutely no restrictions. Regards Jim R. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herr Kruger Posted March 6, 2003 Author Share Posted March 6, 2003 Thanks for the bumps, I am looking for serious answers, however. [ March 06, 2003, 10:26 AM: Message edited by: Herr Kruger ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Three_Oh_Eight Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 Nope. Even being merely weeks old, however, I can see their virtue. With QB so easy, and seeming to be a 'standard', some well thought out criteria for picking forces *would* be a boon. The best criteria would be those that created the largest pool of viable forces for any given battle, IMO. Would take knowledge of exactly how each unit (especially armor and gun) interact, what kills what none, some, all the time, etc. Of course, being a lazy sod, I'm not doing it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poor Old Spike Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 I've developed a set of fair and balanced parameters and simple rules for all my games in the Rugged Defense cmbb ladder which are proving tremendously popular and people are always wanting to play me,I currently have 25 pbems going! Anybody e-mail me for a copy anytime 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snarker Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 Rarity is a "quick and dirty" limiting factor. To limit yourself further, don't use anything with a rarity factor over 40%. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonC Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 Yes, I've already come up with one "by agreement" optional rule for QBs with player choice of forces. "No heavies". Bans the KVs and Tigers, which in their early periods practically can't be penetrated and so decide meeting engagements merely by the date. A simple rule, and gets rid of the leading cause of "aggrevated cowering". It is best with a regular opponent, one you play a series of fights with, because it cuts different ways at different dates. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefly Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 The only one I've seen mentioned is to use standard rarity and only allow purchases of up to +20%, however this only guarantees reasonably historical purchases, whilst Fionn's 'rules' for CMBO were aimed more at balance, which is not the same thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried but they won't copy from the e-mail where I store them,into the "post reply" box,and I'm too lazy to type them out into the box by hand! Any advice on how to paste stuff into the box? Meantime anybody can just e-m me for a copy like I said </font> 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
