tournament proposal

[oldrocky]

I've seen the map. It's pretty. On the map size, perhaps the tournament is to a level of two brigades, or a small division?
Questions and suggestions
1) the same number of points are allocated in total for both sides? I understood that after the general commander can have his troops as he pleases.
If this is not so I put it as a suggestion. Agree on a number of points and the commanding general made the initial deployment (only The start of the tournament) troops in the overview map. The tournament manager can make changes position only if certain rules have not been met as placing troops on roads.
2) What about the points of air?
Regards and sorry if I do not quite understand. I do not speak English well. I am learning with you and google traslator :)

Hi Roman

That map I posted is only an example. It is not the map we will be using for the Tourney. It is only a test map.

The forces used in these battles will be created using the established OOBs and TO&Es of the Nations involved and of the time period.(The parent formations of both opposing sides will be as close to equal as possible in purchase point value, fire power and maneuverability). I'm looking for historical accuracy and that is the reason for some of the ROEs I've recommended. If you're fighting the Russians or the Germans you should be engaging formations that are organized as the Germans and Russians had them organized during that period of the war. Here is a link to one of the source documents that will be used in creating formations: http://www.niehorster.org/012_ussr/45_or...s_tank.htm

The reason the troops will be deployed loaded and on the road is because I'll need to make the initial deployments so as to create a master game/map file that can be used to edit the game files after every segment. It would be too hard and time consuming for me to get specific direction from the commanders regarding deployment AND ALSO; it's a meeting engagement. Just imagine both forces are entering the AO and converging on each other not knowing where the other exactly is on the map. Leaving the road and deploying into effective battle formation will be a challenge in itself and also require a certain tactical finesse.

As for air power; that will be determined at a later date; depending on the size of the parent formations. So far we have 5 players so I'm thinking about a Brigade sized battle and possibly a squadron of Ground Attack Aircraft. You can be assured that there will be air power.

Thanks Guys.
