Anyone Up For A Black Sea Battle? - Bannon - 01-08-2021

I consider myself a junior CMBS player but I look forward to a reasonable challenge. Unless there are unforeseen circumstances I should be able to play at least one turn each day. To start I'd like:

- Small to medium size battle
- Veteran or Warrior skill level
- I'd prefer to play US or Russia but I'm also open to Ukraine

I am also open to Battlefield Normandy, Red Thunder, and/or Final Blitzkrieg.

I'm interested.

I prefer Elite but I can do Warrior skill level. Here is my proposal: mirrored Small Probe quick battle. We pick a map and start two games. One where You play Russia attacking Ukraine and one where I play Russia attacking Ukraine. Its a quick battle so our forces are up to us to choose so both battles will be different even on the same map.

What do you think?

I'm up for it. What do we do next? This is literally my first CMBS PBEM battle. BTW, do you have the CMBS Battle Pack 1? I don't but I'm happy to get and activate it.

I misunderstood what a mirrored game is and now prefer non-mirrored. I don’t mind playing the same battle from both sides only one side at a time. Sorry for the confusion.

Cool, first battle, I am honoured.

OK are you also saying you want to play a scenario rather than a quick battle?

How about this one: https://www.theblitz.club/scenarios/combat-mission-black-sea/galloping-horse-downfall/b-15.htm?action=scenario&id=11177

The next steps are to create a drop box folder to share files and then start the game. Do you have drop box? Do you have a turn manager program as well? I wrote Whose Turn Is It: https://www.lesliesoftware.com/products/WhoseTurnIsIt/index.html to manage copying files for the games. I'll send you an email.
