BG ANZAC - 21 JAN 0830GMT (with TeamViewer support) - 4.???

[Gibsonm]

Daylight Saving in effect

 

By now most readers will already know who BG ANZAC is, so I'll put the information relevant to this week in first, then background, etc. If you are new to the Forum, feel free to read the entire post.

 

IMPORTANT:  As a serving Officer, I am not allowed to make "public comment" about topics without clearance. This is why my signature block says what it says to cover written comment.

 

Recorded audio on YouTube = "Public Comment", especially if I were to express a personal opinion (without knowing someone was recording). In addition recording people's voices in Australia is illegal without their permission or a Warrant.

 

If you want to record a session, ASK! We maybe about fit you in (I maybe able to play the OPFOR, etc.). If you don't ask:

 

a. Expect me to ask you to remove the YouTube (or other media).

 

b. Don't be too surprised if you aren't welcomed back.

BLUF (Bottom Line Up Front):

 

Your Local time: Click on this link for Local time in your part of the world

 

Count down: Time remaining until Meeting start

 

Mission will start promptly at 0830 GMT. If you want a pre game "chat" then by all means come on line at say 0800 GMT, but so that the Kiwi's aren't after Midnight, the Mission will commence promptly at 0830 GMT.

 

Agenda:

 

Based on the recent sustained good attendance, we are embarking on a more structured approach (only sustainable if the attendance is maintained).

 

Planned Agenda:

 

1st meeting: Teach / Discuss a topic (Attack, Defence, Convoy Escort, Reserve Demolition, OPs, ...) using a scenario / map as the basis for discussion.

 

As to what we cover, that will be will be determined by the response to the related email "newsletter" for this Wednesday sent to regular attendees.

 

2nd meeting: First volunteer develops a plan for the tactical problem and we see how they go. There will be a brief debrief at the end looking at strengths / weaknesses of their solution, which the person COing the next week is free to incorporate into their solution.

 

3rd meeting: We play the same scenario with a different CO (each able to improve / adjust their plan based on their predecessor).

 

4th meeting: We play the same scenario with a different CO (each able to improve / adjust their plan based on their predecessor).

 

5th meeting (if there is one in a given month): Q & A - You need to supply the questions or a "player's choice" determined by responses here / to email.

 

As always, visitors (apart from one individual) / first timers / spectators are welcome.

 

Current Standard:  4.167 or maybe 4.2X.

We'll have version 4.2 ready next week. It's probably easier to wait for it, since it'll come with a unified web installer, so you have to run just that single installer program and the rest will be done automatically.

 

Please use the new Calendar RSVP function or post here to facilitate planning.

 

Background:

 

Who is BG ANZAC? https://www.bganzac.org

 

Described here: http://www.steelbeasts.com/sbforums/showthread.php?t=21753

 

A couple of examples of the BattleGroup at work:

 

Multi Player session:

 

 

 

Training session:

 

 

Timings: Thursday evenings, Australian East Coast time.

 

Through a combination of democracy, state's rights and bl**dy mindedness, the country is now fractured into numerous time zones (three wasn't enough) for the next six months and we need to adjust the start time.

 

Next meeting: 0830 GMT on Thursday, January 21st.

0830 in London (GMT / Zulu)

1630 in Perth

1800 in Darwin

1900 in Adelaide

1830 in Brisbane

1930 in Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra

2130 NZST in Auckland

 

In game chat / Communications:

 

You'll need access to "Teamspeak" to communicate with us. The Teamspeak software is available here: Download Teamspeak client software

 

How to connect and use it is detailed here: Steel Beasts Wiki Entry - Starter Pack

 

Remote Access / Screen Sharing / Whiteboard Sessions:

 

We continue the use of TeamViewer so people without the Steel Beasts software can connect and see and hear what we see and hear (looking over our shoulder if you like). Team Viewer available here

 

This maybe a suitable vehicle for people to see what the software is all about (you can even use it on a Mac), without having to invest in even a short time limited copy.

 

Anyway we'll see how it goes.

 

So if you are interested, visit our web site https://www.bganzac.org and sign up.

Will be there assuming installs ok etc

On Thursday, I only have only 1.5 hours time for BG ANZAC! Should I come in anyway?

[Gibsonm]

Sure.

So when I start up Steel Beasts today (Tuesday, 19 January), it says "license expires in 2 days". Of course, that's Thursday.

 

I ordered the full version however ($115 USD, which is cheaper than it was a week ago), and am awaiting arrival of the Codemeter Stick.

 

So, there are several COA's here. If stick arrives before game time, then I'm good. If stick hasn't arrived, maybe the count down timer on my monthly will still be good for game time. Finally, it is possible that the stick won't be here in time and the monthly will expire prior to game time, in which case I'm SOL.  

[Gibsonm]

I gather you currently have just the time based version and you have just ordered the full version?

 

They normally reduce the price just prior to a newer version coming out.

 

When you order the full version it comes with a time based license to cover the shipping time for the dongle / stick. You should have received an email (check your spam / junk folder) with a URL for that license as part of the purchasing process for the full license.

 

If you didn't get an email I suggest you ask in the "support" area.

 

If necessary, I can lend you access to one of mine.
