Good day DD

That's pretty ambitious, but I'll say tuned. I may have to drop some PBEM commitments to get into this.

Thanks, Bob out

btw, me and BK are the only members? still need 12 more D:

I could actually get this rolling with only 4 players (2x US and 2x German) for playtesting and working out the kinks.

I have most of the rules written down on paper but not in an electronic format. In truth, players will not need to know much of the inner workings except for the overall victory objective/conditions and what they need to do to play their battle. There is no strategic overlay/map and no replacement system. I will review the end game files and determine each units OOB available for the next battle (these will be adjusted so that they are "purchasable" in the WinSP Editor).

Players will only really be required to generate and play their battles and then provide me with the end game save file. They will also be required to write and send me a small AAR (nothing detailed) and maybe post some screenshots here for any lurkers enjoyment.

This would be the 901st Panzer Grenadier Regiment, Panzer Lehr Div (2 Battalions) for the Germans and Combat Command B, 4th Armored Div (2 Battalions) for the Americans. Both forces would have Armor mixed in with their Armored Infantry so each players would start with a mixed Armor/Infantry force.

I am looking at 3 rounds for the playtest campaign so that means 3 battles vs the AI for each player, probably 30 turn battles.

AS before you can count me in to command a kampfgruppe!

If you get stuck contact me, unsure at the moment but things might get busy in the next 7-10 days.

Recently, I've gotten a few PM's asking why I'm not going with the East Front. From some of my recent conversation with Pbem opponents I was under the impression people were getting bored with East Front.

Would those of you who have expressed interest prefer this concept be played out on the East Front? I can do that but it would require selecting an action to concentrate on and then theres the digging up of the appropriate OOB's.

Hello

East or west makes little differance to me. Having said that would seem a waste to not make use of your existing work.

I really don't mind

I think to start with it should be as per your orginal plan as this is where you have put the work into. Maybe Ostfront later on. IMHO

What I will probably do is "downsize" the current project and then, with enough interest got to the Eastern front for the next one. That should give me time to research possible themes and OOB's.
