Blitz Byte Battle Brawl - ROUND 3

[Ratzki]

Getting kicked bad by Raz, it's amazing what 1 Tiger can do when you can't get to it's flank. My game as the Germans is still up in the air. So at this time I can still shout " I am the Best" albeit with a little tremble in the voice.

How about a scenario with random reinforcements, that should spice things up a little.

Not sure I can do that...no way to set up QB's with random reinforcements...???

You could set up a scenario with minimal starting forces and have all the points arrive as random reinforcements at different itervals.

Interesting idea -- let me test it first to see how much of a lottery it becomes.

Next battle will be either an Armoured ME in very open Ukrainian steppes with very few places to hide... or a small and nasty knife-fight for possession and shelter of a small village in the deep winter of January 1942... still undecided.

Great... they both sound like bundles of fun for my already exhausted infantry. Have to say though Ive been getting my ass handed to me on a regular basis in these little BBB battles... great fun though.

I'd vote against another snowbound one - bit like watching paint dry. cut and thrust of armoured divisons, thats the ticket!!

[Copper]

Yeah something pacey would be great.

But I'll leave it in Rico's capable hands to come up with a nasty little bitch of a map for us to battle across.

I vote no on random reinforcements. None of these games are inherintley balanced after all and randomising the reinforcements will just push 1 side over the edge I think.

I'm not complaining about the way they are now but the Germans especially may be very disadvantaged by having say only 1 tank on the map to start with against 4 or 5 Soviet. Then there's the chance that 50% of your reinforcement may not show up while your enemy gets the lot of his. If we were playing a 2000 pt battle this may not matter but in these small games I think it will dull rather than sharpen what is already an excellent experience.

I secured a Total Vic. in my round 3 game with Taffy.

You seem to extrapolate a lot there. Why should there be any reason for the russians to start with 5 tanks and the germans 1?

Its a scenario so the starting forces are totaly in the hands of the designer. A sharp shooter each seem fair?

Also reinforcements at 50% will mean that forces would turn up sooner rather than later, but there is no reason for it to be set to 50%, why not 75 or 100 even.
