Looking for DaBigBabes game - 7/4/2010 4:20:36 AM

Status: offline 		Greets all,

I am looking for three players: 1 Japanese partner and 2 Allied opponents to play a DaBigBabes campaign. Preferably players that have played DaBabesLite and/or have studied the BigBabes beta. I can do a turn most days (not all, sometimes work is heavy and, sorry, but work comes first). HRs negotiable, as long as they are reasonable. Time zone is GMT-6.

Post if there is any interest.

Cheers!

Accually Greenwich is a place in England it is generally accepted that latitude zero is passes through greenwich. Which makes east of Greenwich plus hours. Because east is always ahead of west in terms of time. Greenwich is the oldest time adjustment line. But it was mainly for navigational purposes.

@guctony, you'd be my partner n the Japanese side.
@vettim89, you would be one of the allies.
@Zigurat666, are you interested in joining the Allied side? Or was just post just a comment on GMT?

All players, what houuse rules would you like to play with?

And I would welcome discussion on high altitude sweeps, strategic bombing from china, low level naval bombing by B-17, etc

You know, that is pretty much the average JFB's ultimate wish list for game settings.

1. PDU-on = ok
2. Realistic R&D off = prefer on
3. +/- 15 Day Reinforcements = ok
4. Realistic US torpedoes = ok
5. One day turns = most are playing 2-day now but ok
6. Multiple Port attacks on turn 1 - no


Of those points, only #6 is non-negotiable for me.

HR:

1. No Strategic Bombing before 1944 either side
2. PP must be paid for units to cross national boundaries
3. No 4-E NavAttack below 15 k
4. Escalating Sweep alt: '41-42 max 25k, '43 30 k, 44-45 35k

others are ok bu I would like to insist R&D but to insist I have to consel Kitakami.

For sweep I have another suggestion too. No figter sweeps higher then its second best figting altitude.

rest is ok for me

Status: offline 		Hmm...

I would be most comfortable with:

1. PDU-on
2. Realistic R&D on ****** this is the counterbalance for PDU-on. Otherwise Japanese air production can become crazy (it can get feisty even with this on... believe me... I've made it so... don't worry guctony, we can take them! :) )
3. +/- 15 Day Reinforcements
4. Realistic US torpedoes
5. One day turns ***** game takes longer than war, but this is what I personally am best at
6. Multiple Port attacks on turn 1: EITHER Pearl Harbour OR Manila/Singapore.

HR:

1. No Strategic Bombing before 1944 either side
2. PP must be paid for units to cross national boundaries ***** that includes Korea <-> Manchuria for realism
3. No 4-E NavAttack below 15 k ***** I'd accept 12K, so 15K is fine with me.
4. Escalating Sweep alt: no figter sweeps higher then its second best figting altitude. ***** I believe this is the best compromise I've seen so far.

Others:

Aiming for 1 turn a day, with reasonable exceptions allowed for.

@guctony: what would you prefer, IJA or IJN? I can go with either.
@all: would any of you be interested in writting an AAR? I think it would make for very interesting reading.

I don't know if a joint AAR would do the game justice, but definitely both sides should do one.

Some settings not addressed:

1. Advanced weather on
2. Auto subs off
3. Allied DC on
4. FOW on
5. Historical first turn off but only Allied ships in TF's already may plot movement
6. Dec. 7th Surprise on

Status: offline 		Now for HR #2. I assume that units assigned to unrestricted commands may freely cross borders? So units assigned to any of the restricted Indian commands would have to be changed to exit India, but units assigned to Burma Command, III Indian, SEAC, etc can move between Burma and India freely. How about Allied movement into and out of
China? Have to be changed to move into Burma( this is what i would expect )

Just want to get all nailed down. I once started a game and I am my opponent had very different interpretations of the House Rules and it caused a game stoppage.

Status: offline 		First, your example would mean max Sweep alt would be 20K for the P40E. I do not think the limitations need to apply for CAP or Escort because the bonus/advantage for being higher seems to be for fighters on that mission alone. I guess I would need a nod of agreement from Kitakami and guctony on that aspect.

Second, the rule for PP applies only to units in restricted commands including China Command. So Chinese units entering Burma need to be bought. Kwangtang Army units entering China need to be bought. Commonwelath units assigned to the Indian defnsive commands need to be bought before they can enter Burma.

One request on that last one would be an exception for Akyab as it is on the Indian "side of the hill" but is technically a Burmese base. Would the Japanese have a problem considering that an Indian base for the purposes of this rule?

I agree with all your interpretations of the house rules, including Akyab. Let's just wait for guctony's oppinion on this.

I will agree with any HR and/or settings that my partner vettim89 agrees to. I would like it if there was a published list in this thread so I can copy so I can refer to it.

Status: offline 		I'll email (or pm or something) Kitakami something ya'll can use. Won't have a complete update for a while, and it will just be error correction stuff anyway - nothing major. The files have those error corrections we have acquired in the past couple weeks. There may be a few more (don't know) but so far everything is minor and won't impact gameplay. So feel free to use this - it's got about 90% (maybe 99%) of what will be in the eventual update.

btw, if the other team members wish, I can send them the identical file set I sent you by pm. If you are all agreed to use the 1a set, I'll reserve it and send it to any of you who ask. Kitakami has it and I've asked him to pass it on, but I can send it direct, by pm. Will be watching this game with great anticipation.

Status: offline 		I just was online looking for how people might go about team play and came across this thread.

Exactly how do you manage cooperation between partners? I can see dividing up forces and all (example: IJA and IJN), but how do you get orders coordinated, into the system, and sent on to your opponents?

I am asking because my regular opponent and I (both new players, relatively) are thinking of attempting to work together as the Japanese vs an Allied opponent. We had a first meeting on it, but there were many many questions on how we could make it run smoothly...

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
