Is it too late to join this venture?

Hi Nosher

For this first experimental game i going to have to limit it to 4 players, just to allow me to get the mechanics and command system working. It will be a very short game with just 6 infantry and 3 support per side, so you shouldn't have to wait too long to join the next one, sorry.

Duane, interested to read your post as it sounds similar to what I am planning but without using a real table. I am using aerial photos of real farmland with unit movements added woth photoshop, accompanied by turn by turn intelligence reports to each commander giving outcomes of combat, visible troop movements etc.  I will create a blog or forum so those interested can watch the chaos unfold!

The aim is to use BKC ii as a basis for the combat with a grid based movement and command system rather than the "war master variant" as this is more tricky to do, the plan is  to allow a CO to make 3 commands per turn if it is in an adjacent square to the units it's commanding at the start of the turn, 2 commands if it is 1 square away and only 1 command if it is 2 squares away. Movement will be by grid ref with a mandatory statement of direction of facing after each command using cardinal points. Each square will equate to 10cm in BKC parlance, so an infantry unit will move 1 square (10cm) and have an AP of 4 @ 3. Half range modifiers, flank shots will still count.

Each turn commands will be given to move, fire, hold or be on over watch.

Cheers,
