Are there any plans for another workshop? I had to drop out the the last one, I'm afraid. I've noticed several new people popping up.

There were, but the holidays kind of intervened. If enough people show interest, Im sure we could get another going.

Of course it should be advertised over at Matrix.

If we plan to do it, yes it should.

Where do I sign up?
I'd be happy to assist, but don't have quite as much time available as in the first round.

Would you be able (time wise) to head up a team again, this time round, GS?

Hard to say right now- commitments elsewhere a little up in the air. Also depends when it starts and what's being played.
Another option is just to make it a permanent fixture here with some experienced 'owner' (maybe assuming the role for a while then handing on) matching folks up as they come on board. Keep using 2WIN since it seems well suited for introductory play. The tactics are defined/documented and can be added to in the threads (Allied or German) and they're just introductory non-ladder games (I think this is an important features to keep point sharks away).
Once the players gain experience they can move off to PBEM or regular tournament play.

That actally sounds like a good way to do it...
I´m a newbie to the game. I would be very interested in a workshop to improve my knowledge of the game.
Could we get the Allied and Axis sub-forums made public, please? If we plan to implement General Staff's idea, it would be valuable for the newbies to have access to both of those forums.
Are there any other newbies, in addition to Aweihorn, interested in participating?
Are there any veterans willing to lend a helping hand? It should be much easier this time round, as there will be substantially les games to offer advice on.

There will be...
Thanks to JL and CyberRanger for opening up both forums for all to see.

Seconded 2904Is that the start year for this (2904)?;)
Seriously lads, someone needs to Blitzkrieg this through. Volunteers? Sure I can help, but it's useful to vary the 'veteran' input. Heldenkaiser- where are you? Your skills- some hopefully learnt here- would be hugely useful as a team leader (for example).
Veers- you too on the other side. If I had to endorse two lads to head either side coming out of the last bash with something useful to show for it, it would be the two of you.

Didn't catch the vote of confidence until today. Apreciate it. I guess we should run with it.

Any interest in restarting this effort after the patch comes out?

Heh heh. Yes, I now have EA to develop, a new Italian Campaign to work on, and still have about 6-8 TOAW games going. I'm stretched pretty thin at this point. However, I'm sure I could devote some time each day, and time before hand to organize it. Being able to give advice out as often as you did, GS, I would not have the time for. So, what we need is two team captains and several lieutenants to come forward and then we'll advertise and get it running.

So we need that finalized. But my time limited due to involvement in a 'duel to the death' with some ex-Soviets elsewhere on other topics.

It should be easier after the patch.:p
Range Rings are there, the Air Assistant works better. I'm even hoping to add some icons for blown bridges! I'm hoping to add zooming way out, and displaying your objective tracks if you need a hint in a new scenario. The new flanking rules also make a lot more sense (to me, anyway.) and should make people plan more:eek: I'm even hoping to add buttons to let people scroll through the combats, and even see what combat the results are applied to.:eek:
I'm actually trying to make the game as simple to play as possible!:eek: I've got to if I'm going to play it:clown:

Gosh. I needed four months to see this. Seems I have somewhat dropped off the screen; haven't played that much TOAW lately either. And what I played was mostly WW1 stuff ... don't know if I could be of any use now. My time would also be limited. :rolleyes:
Then of course giving something back is important ... and rewarding, at times. :shy:
New flanking rules? :surprise:

Wow, yeah, what happened? Real Life? Loose interest in TOAW?

Nothing in particular. Things just fluctuate ... can't play everything I'd want to anyway. :shy:

How very true.
That's why I only ever play TOAW. Keeps me away form anything that might take up my gaming time. :laugh:

You mean like posting 24/7 about every 10 mins or so??? ;)
:clown::clown::clown:
Wyatt, if you ever stop posting, people are gonna wonder if there's something wrong with the forum, eh? We'll go online, and there will be nothing except the occasional 'guest' viewing to show that the whole works hasn't shut down, LOL!
God forbid that you ever find any other interests!! :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

I'm just lucky that I can work from home. :D
Allows me to mix work, reading and responding here, and playing TOAW.

Percentages? If I'd try that, I'd get like 30% playing, 60% reading and responding, and maybe 10% work. :eek:

Yeah, that sounds about right, maybe a little more playing (even if it is with myself, lol) but it's time well spent in my estimation, eh? :hush:
Sounds like Heldenkaiser must be retired or like Wyatt, too dmn lucky to be real!

The wife thinks it's a little strange (probably is) that I sometimes wish I was older so I can retire & devote more time to my hobbies. Perfect life for me would be motoring around in a state of the art Rv with wireless hookup, Toaw, well stocked library, and ship modeling work table inside:cool:
