I like Pzt_Crackwise's idea of picking a side.

Maybe a Team Roster for each side can be made in this string and modifed as players join in- or just play one side on 'the honor system'.

Put me on the Allied team.

I'm glad the decision was made to eliminate single player versus the AI-

It would defeat the purpose, throw the campaign out of whack, and ruin the fun.

Good idea. I'll add a roster under the updated instructions in the first post of this topic ... and update it when required.

Thanks

I played lorman in the Amfreville battle. I had to take Allies as my opponent refused to. Take this as an exception. I did my very best and managed to secure the VL's "to La Fiere" and another one adjacent to it though my DZ was far north.

File attached!

It's really nice to see that the whole thing is progressing slowly but steadily. But I am a bit confused about something. Why so you insist on maintaining some amount of points when choosing the teams from the forcepool? And if i have understood correctly, the final decision is to maintain what the game deals out as the battlegroup and exchange only one team. But what's the point in this? I mean if you can not pick your teams according to the map and the tactics you are planning to, then where is the tactics and fun in this?  For example there could only be decided on max allowed tank number points and say it is 5 for instance. Panthers and tigers 1.5 points, all other tanks 1 points. (these are imaginary of course) Halftracks, armored cars  0.5 points or 0 points.

Hi Pzt_Crackwise,
Thanks for the comments. I'm new to the strat side of this ... so am just trying to come up with some type of fair game play. I'm open to suggestions.
If you come up with a formula similar to the one you mentioned above .... and it's relative to TLD Battle Groups ... then we will go with that.
Thanks

I think players should be able to keep or select units in their battlegroup as they wish.

That way they can plan their units according to their tactics and mission on the map.

versus HoleyDooley at Merville Battery

Allied paras landed in an open field and HoleyDooley really took some blood for ground.

Hi, thanks for your comments.
I've been looking into this a little more ... and think you are right about being able to select the units you want in your Battle Group.
I still would like to keep things fair though, so I suggest:

Select any units you want for your Active Roster from the available Force Pool ... but the BG's point total must remain within the next (rounded up to) 50 points. Example: Enter the Battle Group screen, view points ... (371 pts. Total). Round up to the next 50 ... Maximum points allowed after any changes to the Active Roster (400 pts. Total). Example 2: (502 pts Total) ... round up to the next 50 ... Maximum allowed, (550 pts. Total).

In all the TLD battles I've seen so far ... it appears the developers have given each side a total amount of points that is nearly even. So rounding up to the next 50 will keep this designed fairness.
Some BG's have lots of high value assets available in their Force Pool, while the opposing BG has very little or none. Without a points limit, in this situation, the points spread could potentially be far too big.

With this limit system you will have to sacrifice quantity for quality ... if desired. Example: if you want a high valued asset, like a tank, then you will probably have to remove other units of less value to stay under the limit.

So I'll go ahead and make this change and see how it works. Comments/suggestions welcome.

Also ... please post the outcome of the battle as described in the "Battle Debrief" screen.
Example: Decisive German Victory
Or post a screen shot of it.

I'm working on a Campaign Debriefing screen that can be updated with weekly results, and would like to add a generic description of each battle (the TLD description works well for this), along with players names, and map name.

Thanks

Hey, I'd like to get involved if you guys are still taking on recruits. I'd prefer to play as the Germans if that's possible.

Cheers, Priapus

Just figured out I've been using an outdated beta patch instead of the latest retail one ... may have caused some problems with connection or something. Sorry for my goof up ... got it all straightened out now (thanks to schrecken and panzerlehr62).

Make sure you use the 5.50.07 patch
and not the 5.50.07b

Switched and went as German side, due to lack of players when I'm available. Tried my best, but couldn't hold back RD_DD ... he's excellent at suppression and maneuvers!

I'll post the German side save below

note: next turn requires Strategic movement

The Allied Airborne phase of the invasion is well under way ... and now the Seaborne invasion has begun.
4th Infantry Division is first to hit the beaches at Uncle Red of Utah.

ChrisC (QuietGeorgey) commanded the German defenders, and held the important Exit off the beach.
The Allies took casualties from mortar fire as they neared the seawall, and met stiff resistance trying to assault and capture a building. Mines also did a lot of damage to the infantry, and a Sherman was lost to an anti tank gun hidden in the hedges.
Valuable ground was gained, but the cost was high.

remembered to save a screen shot to paint this time
