Dr. Rosenrosen Posted March 30, 2003 Share Posted March 30, 2003 Perhaps I missed it in the written rules, but how do players get promoted in ranking? Is this something that only applies to Biltaid users? Silly me, I've been doing everything by hand. Dr. Rosenrosen 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

History Buff Posted March 30, 2003 Share Posted March 30, 2003 From the front : Horten led his men wearily back to the staging area with defeat on there minds. The Hungarians had faltered. The Hungarian commander who was ambitious for a frontal assault by his men was now most likely on report. Horten believed it possibly wasn't all the commanders fault. The inferior weapons of the Hungarian army were no match for Russian war machine. With his flank crumbling, Horten was forced to pull his men back. Especially when they hit a minefield the size of a small village. Luckily casulties were light for his men. The loss of a Panzer IIIJ, being the only major casulty. Never again would Horten allow his men to be a lacky in a foolish assault against the dug in enemy. And never again with the Hungarians. +++++ As you can imagine it wasn't a nice battle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawk-vfa201 Posted March 30, 2003 Share Posted March 30, 2003 Fought "Workers' Paradise", night Kiev battle. What a carnage: knife-battle in a telephone booth style of fighting. Lost 34 men, 177 casualties, 6 vehicles, my Pz II, my Pz III and managed to get a Tactical Victory thanks to battle ending. 5 more minutes and I was doomed. Units's plan was to early engage the enemy, causing massive injuries and then retire to major target positions. Waited too long, could not retire. Fought in place till very end. Lots of new men in my units now, lots of green squads again. :mad: It is going to be a hell of AAR. Still have to scratch dried blood off my uniform and stop shivering. My hands still shake. Fought against +75% Soviets. caused 800+ casualties and ~300 deads. Ivan men OK 500+!!!!

For a player to go right through to 45, he must never become bored. He must feel tension & fear all the way. Be kept on his toes To cater for both weak and strong players and to get the percentage right was pure gutfeel. I was aiming for +_ 15% Conscript; 20% Green; 40% Regular; 20% Veteran; 2% Elite... From the feedback I'm getting it looks like the percentages are close. Just not hearing much from Veteran players. Any out there?

Prophetic, isn't it - now you know why the Brits have been hanging about outside Basra As you might have noticed: the maps link with each other - you are actualy fighting on one L.o.n.g map - so you can see what's waiting on the horison Good luck!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laffertytig Posted March 30, 2003 Share Posted March 30, 2003 id really like to get into this but it seems so complex. i dont have a printer so id have to get it printed elsewhere. how many sheets do you need for each battle? if it was only the one sheet you had to update id write it out. is this the case? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best to get it printed I think - writing them out will take longer - there are 3 sheets that you'll need for every battle: Parameters; Battle Group & Favor. Once you have them printed, you can go and make photocopies somewhere. It looks quite daunting the first time, but once you have rolled up your first battle, it will all fall into place. Use the Player Guide!! Enjoy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benpark Posted March 31, 2003 Share Posted March 31, 2003 I really love having the custom maps to play on. It definately gives the player a harder fight vs. the AI. A good site for those map makers out there who might not have seen this: http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/EART/soviet_maps.html This site is a perfect match for BCR and a map utility such as Mapping Mission. I may do a few in the future, whenever I can figure out the nuances of Mapping Mission. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
