Massive Assault Part 2

[Greybeard]

WW2 would be better IMO.
Of course, buy points would have to be reduced, accordinly to the skill and amount of players for each side, for example. would a newbie want or should, control a possible 3 BN's?
I guess last years ladder statistics should be considered on who gets what based on thier abilites thus far.
Newbies should be welcolme to play, however, that's what makes it realistic, some veterens mixed with greener players with a Overall Commander with the best statistics or whoever is voted in or takes that position willing and everyone agrees.
This could take some time, a very long time to play out, so with dedication and with a rule if someone fades or can't play his force in the allowed time, then the Commander either takes over or delgates to one of his sub's untill that player can resume command of his force's again.
I could see a Rhine crossing on the map you have being a very definate possiblity.
I'm rambling some now, hope you get more interest;)

Hello Gila,

well, I think one of the sticking points for most players here, is the even number of points thing.. for some odd reason, the general feeling seems to be that an assault/defend game should be point favored to the attacker.. otherwise the defense has a push-over win on their hands.. not to beat my own drum, but I've played several even-point assault games and have not yet been defeated, but neither have I always won... meaning I've at least pulled a draw.. in individual combat..

oh, yeah, it's a hell of a challenge for the attacker.. but if done right, not impossible.. :) and my opponents have ended up scrambling to keep things contained..

I like a challenge..

but the map can be used for any type of battle.. even a meeting engagment which turns into a battle for the bridges would be losts of fun..

as for a ww2 game.. yes the points would need to be turned down a little, or alot.. players choice..

I also like your idea for the team game thing.. yes it does take a large commitment, as for 2 players per side it works out to about 3 turns completed every 2 weeks.. so you can see how long winded a 60 turn assault game will take.. a long, long time.. about 6 months..

cheers!
