First Game needed - SqB Vietnam - McIvan - 01-15-2007 Hi...I'm not doing much wargaming atm, but I have picked up a copy of Vietnam and am curious enough to give it a try. Panzer Campaigns is a little too big for my micro-management tendencies, but Squad Battles could be a lot more to my liking. Looks like it would be a lot easier on that limited resource - time. Anyways, I need someone to show me the ropes in a first game. Would someone care to suggest themselves as an opponent and a suitable small scenario? In terms of experience, I have played the tutorial scen once and that is the start and finish of my SqB experience. I would however count myself as a quick learner. RE: First Game needed - SqB Vietnam - keif149 - 01-15-2007 Greetings! Welcome to the ladder. Right now I'm booked as far as taking on any new games, however, here is a link with some tactics articles to get you going. I am a rookie myself, but I'll be glad to play you in the future. http://www.wargamer.com/Hosted/squadbattles/id117.htm Regards, keif. RE: First Game needed - SqB Vietnam - General Wile E. Coyote - 01-31-2007 Hey, bud! I could use a game of SB. Only have a few games goin' (none of em SB at the moment) these days and would be happy to play you if you're still lookin'? RE: First Game needed - SqB Vietnam - Nikb - 02-01-2007 Ivan, Throw a game my way if you are still looking. I'm easy on options/scenarios/sides. Cheers Nik RE: First Game needed - SqB Vietnam - McIvan - 02-01-2007 Thanks you two....I'm afraid I'd given up checking this post! Happy to take you both on,and any tips you can throw my way will be appreciated. A quick look at the scenarios list suggests The Battle for Hue part 2 and The battle for FSB Ripcord part 1 as being reasonably balanced. If either of you gentlemen would like to choose one and pick your favoured side then we can commence. RE: First Game needed - SqB Vietnam - McIvan - 02-01-2007 PS I have no idea what the options do. So you will have to guide me on that. RE: First Game needed - SqB Vietnam - Nikb - 02-01-2007 I reckon my game play will be a good lesson...on how not to play it! Just sent a file your way Ivan. Feel free to change any of the options or scenario. Looking forward to the game. Cheers Nik RE: First Game needed - SqB Vietnam - General Wile E. Coyote - 02-04-2007 Just makin' sure you got my e-mail (forgot to check the reciept thinga-majiger). Take your pick, any sce. and side....I'm pretty sure I've played em all but due to reduced braincells I don't remember s**t. :smoke: All options and FOW on.
