Since it looks like one of my opponents have drastically reduced his rate of played turns I am willing to play. DF 85 is fine. Any scenario you would particularly like to play (apart from the 161 turn monster campaigns, I don´t so those. At least not yet)

[MasnarT]

happy to be the first one.

start any small scenario (around 10 turns) in any title you like (modern or panzer) and send it to TA_Blackbird at hotmail dot com :)

Edit: lol ... looks like i will be the second :)

[Cavman]

do you have any optional rules you want?

[JDR Dragoon]

I normally play with the following:

-Recon Spotting
-Night Fatigue
-Blocking Helicopter Elimination
-Indirect Fire and Airstrikes by the map
-Counterbattery fire.
-Limited Air Recon.

I also like to play with "Explicit Supply", but if the scenario you have in my do not support that optional rule or you don´t want to play with it in effect, use the "Virtual Supply Trucks" rule instead.

[Cavman]

if you don't mind can you set up the first battle as I am a novice I will not mess it up. been gaming for 25 years been playing these games lately and find the Puter is to boring. eventually I would like to start full war scenario

[Cavman]

I will also finish what I start. I will not drop off the earth , even when I get horribly beaten

Okey dokey.

A good small-ish beginner scenario might be one of the following:

850610_08a: Ardennes of the 80s? (HTH)
Southwest Germany, June 10th 1985: The area of operations in Bavaria is similar to the Ardennes, in so far as the Bayerischer and Bohmer Walds have the same terrain. NATO planners were mostly of the opinion that an attack here was very unlikely because of that terrain. The situation of a surprise attack is also similar, but there are differences too, the major ones being the density of forces and air neutrality, particularly the use of helicopters. In this scenario, the 4th CSLA is tasked with moving through this country with the object of crossing the Danube and moving rapidly west. To win here, using surprise, they must move fast to exploit the situation before NATO can bring reserves to counter this attack. NATO forces start with a lot of Fixed units and must use their assets wisely until reinforcements arrive. [Size, medium] Designer Note: This scenario has been optimized for HTH play.

850610_11sa: Swatting Flies in the South (HTH)
Austria, June 10th 1985: This scenario covers the possible WARPAC invasion of Austria as a flanking maneuver into southern Germany. While a strike through Austria may look attractive at first glance, the drawback for the WARPAC is that the Soviet units allocated to the invasion are scattered, in various bases almost 500km away, resulting in a long road march just to reach the battlefield. The solution for the WARPAC was to put a unit 'on maneuvers' near the Austrian border. The Austrians for their part coud be expected to make a decent showing until the Danube was breached. After that, the situation would collapse, with WARPAC forces racing across central Austria to reach deep into NATO's Southern flank, while "swatting the flies" that remained in their path. [Size: Medium] Designer note: Although technically 'neutral', Austrian units move & fight under the NATO player's command. Explicit Supply is possible. This scenario has been optimized for HTH play.

If you want to play another just let me know.

I like Ardennes of the 80s just wish we can turn off the fixed units hate that I was in the army stationed in /Amberg near Graf in 1981

[alaric99x]

How can I ever express how much I loved Graf when they sent us there for training?

I was in Mannheim (21st SUPCOM) at the same time you were in Amberg.
