Proposed Bulge '44 Team Game

MikeC · (This post was last modified: 01-20-2019, 01:00 AM by MikeC.)

Is anyone interested in a team game of the basic Relief of Bastogne scenario in Bulge '44?

It is a medium size scenario, so it would not be an overwhelming team training game for guys like me who are newbs to PBEM. Looking at the scenario stats, it seems to be a popular scenario, with nearly 40 plays, and it is close to a dead heat in victories for either side. As an added bonus, both sides have the opportunity to attack and defend. What a deal, we never had it so good! Smile

I haven't looked at it from the German side, but the U.S. could be handled by two players. I would propose that one take the 4th Armored, 26th and 80th infantry. The other could take the Bastogne perimeter, and the battered 28th Infantry remnants.

Any thoughts? Anyone interested?

Thanks for reading,
Mike

I have scope to do either side solo

Might be a good idea to check if every player has upgraded to the B44 Gold standard or not before you start? Wink

Oops, didn't think of that.

I do have the Gold version.

Anybody interested in a medium size team game of another Bulge gold scenario? Or a medium team game of another PzC title? I currently have Bulge '44 Gold, Kharkov '43 Gold, and Sicily '43.

I'd be interested in a team game of Kharkov '43 Gold on the Russian side.

I'm up for that! I'm currently playing a one-on-one large scenario in Kharkov '43, so I'd be willing to go large. How
does Operation Gallop-Preamble 0130_01 sound? Default rules plus Recon spotting.

I'd play either side. Any other takers?
