XDAP-01 DbD (AXIS) vs. BiA

I made a mistake in my previous post, my brother will be back on MONDAY and will probably not be able to play until Tuesday.

Also, since this is my first online game, is there something else I have to do before we start?
(not that I’m impatient or anything, I just don’t know)

Nope!

Just let them drop their G1, and then respond.

Be ready to pick your scramble, “or not to scramble” orders… that’s all.

Again, thanks Garg.  :-)

I think I can help answer the scrambling question.

From what I saw looking in on other forum games, you just post the question here with an attached map, and I (or my teammate) will give you an answer ASAP.

I have actually heard of your podcast before. Haven’t listened to it yet, but I have read peices of your blog, and I do find it quite interesting.

Its been a couple of days, any word on that G1?

Thanks for letting me know.  :-P

I just can’t wait to get started (Played a FtF game yesterday, and that’s made me want to play more  :-D)

Sorry for the delay.

Should be able to crank a G1 out Tonight! If not, tomorrow morning.

I forgot scrambling would be involved so I will try and get out the combat tonight so you can respond. (It seems like we’ve got a keener so hopefully we won’t wait much longer!

Just gotta make sure I’ve got the right map.

Fuck, I’ve goota get 2.8.

I can post the map now on 2.6 and when we have a descision on scrambles I will play the dice on 2.8.

I promise to post a propper map and link it ot the thread and all that business later on.

For now UK, just let me know if your plane are leaving the tarmack.

Germany 1 scramble.tsvg

No scramble for me please!

Thanks for getting started, I’m sorry if I’m being to impatient but (as I said) I am pretty excited to play, as I don’t get to play face to face very often. Don’t worry about the hold up though, I did play FtF just a couple days ago, so it’s not like I havn’t had plenty of WWII themed goodness to enjoy.

Cool. I will crank those dice and noncomms out tomorrow when I get the new map.

However, I do need to make one minor change that should not affect the scramble.

I left one tank unmoved in Romania. That tank needs to be in Yugoslavia and one tank in poland remains unmoved.

Thats all. Hope that’s alright.

Looking forward to this too!

Test summary from TripleA 23:59:19

This is it! The Blitzkrieg!

The sirens sound! The guns fire and the Army of the Third Riech marches into France with the utmost of confidence, training, and skill! They smash through suprised and unprepared French defences dealing death at every corner and taking No Quarter!

The Luftwaffe eliminates the bulk of the British fleet in carefull coordination with the Navy! It’s mayhem in the North Sea!

These triumphant victories embolden the freinds of the Axis to join what is sure to be our conquest of the Allies!

Well, could have been better. But also could have been worse…

Sorry Mussolini, I was trying to get Yugoslavia for you but my boys were just shooting too straight!

And I followed one near bone-head move with annother by keeping ym tank in Poland rather than Slovakia…

Whatayagonna do? Wait for the Russians!
