I am busy this weekend. I can play Friday and Monday but not Sat/Sun.

Perhaps we could compromise and play with couriers (to brigade level) but not HITS? (I've found a camera height of 50 yds works very well)

EDIT: Just to make this clear so there is no confusion. Our HITS games will always use a 2 yds command view radius. I only suggested the 50 yds in this thread to allow more non-HITS players join in with a "200" weekend event.

I am willing to play HITS or just reduced camera. What I am interested in is getting some discussion going with new and existing players to get some games scheduled. I have heard a lot of interest, but maybe we just need a better system to get the games set up.

You guys have been good about scheduling and getting games played. So, what is the best way to get more players playing with us.

Mr. Digby Thu Jun 18, 2015 10:18 pm

I think if it comes under the KS umbrella then it has to be HITS. We won't use a wider range camera as that's key to our whole ethics.

I think until we can get a proper arrow in the game, something NSD may have to do, we should play with a 10 yd. radius. Those few extra yards makes a big difference in seeing it.

I really like the 10 yards. It's not such a struggle to play. At 2yds, I spend most the game fighting the controls, not very immersive.

Iberalc Fri Jun 19, 2015 6:53 am

I will be avaible for a game at the usual 20:00 BST today friday. bom

kg little mac Fri Jun 19, 2015 12:55 pm

I'll try, but that's pretty early for me.

Iberalc Fri Jun 19, 2015 2:23 pm

The ideal time for me would be an hour later, that's 21:00 BST. Even one more hour wouldn't matter to me. We'll wait for more people to show their preferences. Razz

Uncle Billy Fri Jun 19, 2015 2:53 pm

I can play at 20:00BST or later.

Iberalc Fri Jun 19, 2015 5:24 pm

If no one from this side of the Atlantic will be playing, we can try at 21:00 BST or maybe Mark can suggest a better time so that more WL players from GCM will be in for a game.

Uncle Billy Fri Jun 19, 2015 5:51 pm

I believe Roland is planning to play.

SolInvictus202 Fri Jun 19, 2015 5:57 pm

indeed I am... it's Friday evening, I feel no urge to get drunk and the Duchess is out again - so GAME time... why not start one at 2000 BST and maybe go for round 2 later on with more Colonials present, if the 2000 BST team still feels like it? ( Twisted Evil

been waiting for ages to use that one Razz

Iberalc Fri Jun 19, 2015 6:03 pm

Sounds good to me Roland.

Mr. Digby Fri Jun 19, 2015 7:05 pm

I shall be there. 55 minutes and counting. This is shuttle launch control.

Iberalc Sat Jun 20, 2015 3:54 pm

I am heading for a wedding shortly so I can't play today. However I am the first volunteer for a game tomorrow sunday. drunken

Uncle Billy Sat Jun 20, 2015 5:30 pm

This shows a lack of tactical judgement. We may need to re-evaluate your fitness for command. Mad

SolInvictus202 Sat Jun 20, 2015 7:57 pm

it's called "cowardice in the face of the enemy"... he'd rather attack the post-wedding buffet....

Guest Sat Jun 20, 2015 10:12 pm

And your problem is?

SolInvictus202 Sun Jun 21, 2015 6:14 pm

so how are things looking for tonight? - same as yesterday or are we going to be able to must half a section- meaning 3-4 guys? Smile

Iberalc Sun Jun 21, 2015 6:45 pm

Today, I must confess I'm not half the man I used to be. pale

Guest Sun Jun 21, 2015 7:49 pm

A little

are we Pepe, what was it the Paella or Sangria?

Uncle Billy Sun Jun 21, 2015 7:58 pm

Tsk, tsk.

on a fun note: both the 1st Baon 1st Chasseur à pied and the 1st Baon 1st Grenadier à pied surrender. run down by Russian peasant cavalry... what a disgrace!

No crashes?????? Do the mods look good and stable??????

Uncle Billy Mon Jun 22, 2015 1:28 am

The mod was stable this battle.

That gun line was the Russian hurt locker. With cavalry in support it was invulnerable.
A few more.

Earlier in the battle, these boys forced the Old Guard into square. Russian infantry came up and shot the square to pieces with the cavalry standing just out of range. When the Frenchmen finally broke, the Gusars charged and finished them off. No love for the snail-eaters.
