Group seeking more players for team play

Post by macgregor »

I have a couple players interested. I'd like to see if anyone from here is interested in pbem-around-the-virtual-table game of toaw4. This way we can decide what scenario based on how many players, and how much time they want to spend finishing a turn. But it could open up some larger scenarios. PM or post.

Re: Has any group of 6 ever attempted group play?

I think each team would need pass-betweens to complete a turn (mostly determined by Max Rounds Per Battle); 1st pass) only use 1/3 of your movement points, attack right away - where no planned combats bring you over three/four rounds, or move in full when clearly not near/engaging any opponent pieces that turn, then, 2nd pass) move the middle 1/3 of the movement points and engage in middle rounds of combat (rounds 4-6 or 5-7), finally, 3rd pass) finish moves and engage in the late rounds of combat.
If you're STILL making Panzer IIs after seeing your first T-34... you're probably going to lose.

Units within a side can be divided any way they want. Though normally, it would make sense that a player would be assigned a front. Players have to be willing to cooperate for control, just like they'd have to in a real war.

You bring up something that didn't occur to me. The turn would have to circulate between players of one side until the rounds were finished in .sal format. Each side will have to communicate well. But to me, this is the fun of playing.

Yes. Absolutely. I forgot about this post as I posted it in the main thread as well. https://discord.gg/F8P7Kfcacq
