Global 1940 Wittman and Private Panic vs Credulous and Elrood

[Credulous]

Sorry to hear its a slow recovery Leo. You are much missed. Get well soon.

Happy with BMX.Y.

Happy with random power allocations.

Hello Kevin.

Game on (subject to Seb surfacing).

Cred

[Witt]

Thanks Mark.
Seeing the Consultant again tomorrow. Will tell Adam what he says. I always fear the worst!

[Private-Panic]

Seb is in Poland. Back Thurs. Am away myself Weds & Thurs, but fingers crossed that we can get started before the end of the week.

[Elrood]

so how do we start this? PP rolling some dice?

I suspect he means Balanced Mod version x.y (doesn’t matter which one, or latest version)  :-)

[Private-Panic]

Right then. I will roll those dice when I get home ……

[aequitas-et-veritas]

How about a BM 3 CMF with a bid pott?

We select for each power a certain bid and when you roll the power, you will also have the
amount of the bid as a start up.

Or we select a bid pott size (i. e. 30 ipc) and if you are first you get to take out as much you think you need to a certain limit we choose.

Just a few random thoughts.

[Private-Panic]

Okay then. I will delay rolling those dice!

BM3 fine. I am not sure what the differences are to BM2, but if BM3 is the latest then that is what we should play. What is CMF?

Also not sure what the bid pott idea actually means Kevin? Is this because BM3 is still not regarded as balanced?

Below is what I had previously suggested, just in case it got lost in the passage of time, but happy to do anything really.

@Private:

Well - Elrood (Seb) and Credulous (Mark) should have a PM showing that AetV (Kevin) has joined our little gang.

At the moment the idea is to play a game of the latest version of Balanced Mod. If anyone has a better idea then do shout out.

Shall I roll 4 dice and allocate as follows?

Highest - G&I
2nd - J
3rd - UK/UKP, China & US
Lowest - R, Anzac & F

If Leo comes back before we finish we can re-orientate the allies to squeeze him in.

Is that okay?

Hi Adam,
CMF = Combat Move First

The pott for a bid was just an idea to make this game more individual for us alone.
No, the BM is pretty close to be balancing for G40 games.
Just my two cents.

I am ok with the highest is G & I and so on.

[Private-Panic]

Thanks Kevin. That sort of invites me to get on with the original plan, but I will hold off for a couple of hours in case anyone wants to say otherwise.

CMF has been briefly discussed in a not very positive way in the past, so unless someone else expresses an opinion before I come back I will stick with the usual turn mechanics.

Personally I am happy to do anything, so if anyone has a preference they should speak up.

[Private-Panic]

Okay - no contrary voices, so here are those 4 die:

AetVRolling 1d100:
(16)

CredRolling 1d100:
(40)

El RudeRolling 1d100:
(84)

PPRolling 1d100:
(59)

[Private-Panic]

So El Rude is G&I. Perhaps he can start the game for us then. Try to do it politely Seb  :-P

I am his superior ally, Japan.  8-)

Cred is UK/UKP, China & US.

AetV is R, Anzac & F.

Cred & AetV can reorientate themselves to accommodate witt if he rejoins the fray mid game.

[Elrood]

Latest BM seems to be v3.2.

I would go for that ok?
