barca Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 Please revisit this thread for our revised start time. edit: Started on TUE, DEC 13. I need to get the Generals together. Der Fuehrer has been nervous and in bad health, but now can give final instructions. Gen Eisenhower was secluded away to avoid Paratrooper assassins, but is no longer incommunicado.

barca Posted December 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 Already found several minor errors. The only major one, so far is that the von der Heydte symbol is missing. so here it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bpoli7 Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 Have we determined who are our generals? What are our teams? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bpoli7 Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 I can play any Americans [Tank (Light/Med), ARi, ARe, TD, INF, Eng] except paratroopers. I have a Peiper list, and a FBB armor list, and a Panzerbrigade list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barca Posted December 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 I'm thinking lazarus and ZEKE, but no confirmation yet. Sending the smoke signals and beating the drums, but no one gathered at the bonfire, yet. Easier if a General is not also the organizer (moi). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barca Posted December 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 Looks like tentative briefings to allies and axis staffs on tues pm, Dec 13, orders issued prob sometime late Wed, Dec 14. Wacht Am Rhein #2 to be begin Thu, Dec 15, 72 years later, minus one day, from the original operation. Both 1 & 2 delayed and rescheduled several times, but for different reasons. Does history repeat itself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bpoli7 Posted December 11, 2016 Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 The Northern panzer groups are chomping at the bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barca Posted December 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 Given the recent impact of inclement weather, and the likely impact of family time around the holidays, i am considering making turns 1, 2 and 3 of this campaign lasting 3 weeks instead of 2. I will adjust the schedule anyway, due to the delay I caused. QUES/INPUT: Any thoughts on turn length? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noland Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 Cannot pull this file on Safari. I will have to get unlazy and open a computer and get off the tablet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barca Posted December 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 Sorry. The uncompressed PDF is over the limit of my upload size on the free Ordo account. I plan on upgrading in January. Would have done it sooner but I don't think the membership is pro-rated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bpoli7 Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 Yeah, it requires a computer. There's a ton to read, Noland, and a bit of nuance to it, so get unlazy quick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barca Posted December 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 I have more errata, but mostly for the generals. the important stuff: should be 2 counters for 150 Panzer Brigade: one for a brigade unit ("x" on top) and one for a platoon unit (3 dots on top) 108 FA is field artillery for 28th ID, US 372 FA is field artillery for 99th ID, US Typhoon air support symbol missing When I get a real website/blog setup, will upload corrected copy I can tweak this a lot more, but let's play and get all the input from using it, not over thinking it. If anyone has cool ideas for Allies to do strategic stuff like the German special rules let me know. I had more details I wanted to work out for terrain (esp. rivers and Schnee Eifel), CBT ENG and bridges, but ran out of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazarus Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 initial attacks are all set up now. Germans are attempting to by pass as many units as they can leaving the follow on forces to reduce the pockets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
