Had a similar issue with MRAPs in 2016. Spent pretty much the entire mission moving on the side (support ticket raised at the time).

28 SEP scenario:

 

Civil War Dera Ghazi-4019b   

(same as last week, we will give it another go and if we don't have enough players then we will skip it - see previous post for scenario file)

 

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS:

• Draft? Yes.
• Random CO selection? Yes. Need THREE COs.
• Need at least 4-6 players per insurgent side, and Government side needs about 8 players.

 

NOTES:

• Avoid studying the enemy's side; only gather intel from the briefing and exposed enemy unit icons (enemy intel), and briefly looking over both sides to figure out which one you want to CO. Anything beyond that ruins the fog of war element.
• To avoid passwords, open the scenario in Network Session as HOST and choose the side you want to play and go to planning phase. You may briefly look at both sides like this to see which side you want to play or CO on. As CO, once you choose a side, go to that side and create your plan.
• Remember to play within the TGIF House Rules and SB.com community rules.

[Gibsonm]

Sorry I can't make it.

 

Not due to the specific scenario, just have something else on.

[Volcano]

Thanks to everyone that played and CO'd.

 

I know the destruction of the bridge in the west threw a wrench in BLUE's plan, but it just kind of happened from all the fighting.  I changed the bridges in that scenario to steel girder type to strengthen them and make that less likely to happen, and gave BLUE a section of bridge layers just in case, and removed a section of RED tanks to make things more desperate (making it 2:1). 

 

Also added PL and PSG to mech platoons on both sides, and grenade launcher ammo.

Nice scenario, No Map Updates was interesting

[Gibsonm]

Thanks but I'm going to spend my Saturdays doing something productive / enjoyable.

 

I wont be attending another TGIF where 6 people try to manage multiple Company's with no map updates - esp. when the tanks in question come with a BMS.

[Volcano]

Well, I assume you mean "own party updates".  As I said many times, don't take so many units. Give units away if you have too many!!

 

But oh well, if you don't want to, that's your call.

[Volcano]

In other news, my Internet came back on just now. We will hopefully go back to the regularly scheduled scenarios this TGIF.

Four Companies between maybe six people.

 

Not like anyone had surplus capacity.

Glad to hear that "normal services have been restored".

 

Do you get a credit for the downtime?

[Volcano]

Nope, no credit for lost service.

Sounds like maybe a smaller mission should have been chosen. It happens from time to time. Or you can still say that you want less stuff, and maybe others won't mind to take on more.
