The Amazing Rando
You read correctly. After mulling this over and over and over, I've decided to switch scenarios and just post a sign-up sheet. I can keep mulling ad infinitum, and nothing will ever come of it. So here it is:
Scenario
Drang Nach Osten v3.6
Idea
If you've read my previous threads, the general idea is still the same.
Commanders will take charge of specific formations, sending in orders to the GameMaster for each turn as to how his forces should be manipulated. All formations not controlled by a Commander will be controlled by the GameMaster.
HOWEVER, I will not be seeking Commanders for the Soviet side. The Soviet side will be played by a single person as a regular PBEM game. I feel, given the nature of the Soviet experience in DnO, it would be too difficult for a Soviet player to keep track of his formations as they are consumed by the Germans.
I volunteer to be the German GameMaster and will organize all the play. I will also command all units not under the command of someone else.
So here's what you guys have to do.
Post here which formations (specifically) you'd like to control. Remember that German corps are seperate formations from their divisions. I suggest that each commander take one to three formations from each Army Group. This will allow each Commander to play in parts of the whole front. But you don't have to. You can take a single division in AGS, if you want. The Luftwaffe, the Rumanians, Hungarians and the Finns are each treated as one single formation even though they are comprised of several. These can be taken as well.
I'm writing up a short briefing on how we should all conduct ourselves to be efficient, and I'll send that out before we start.
BONUS
I also, as GameMaster, will keep track of which commanders forces take which VP locations, keeping a tally of Commanders points. I will be very fair in this while executing the turns, moving candidates in tandem toward open locations. I know that DnO can end up being a focus on Moscow and I want to avoid that. (edit) This may be a useless category...we'll see. But in any case, I'll end up dividing the points collected by number of units or number of formations under each command to get some sense of equality. Maybe even with a point system according to formation type: Corps x1, Infantry Divisions x2, Pz & Mtz Div x3. Dunno...but I will do the points.
With each new turn, I will send each Commander:
-a document with all previous turns' orders
-a document tracking VP tallies
-the .sal
-and the .pbl (so you can view the playback).
SIGN UP:
-first come, first serve.
-Don't be shy...no experience required.
And we need a Soviet player! who wants to play what will be an interesting PBEM DnO game.
PS: this evening I will post an .sal of turn one...before any opening moves for those who want a look at the map and units before choosing.
