Moderators Volcano Posted July 13, 2012 Author Moderators Share Posted July 13, 2012 (edited) Sorry "V" man that I´m not getting up at 3:30 at Night to just told you "we want to have some Subchannels".Jep, I´m A lazy guy.And if it is to much work to set up 4 Subchannels to TS (needs 1 Minute to do so) have a nice Battle !And please: CHECK YOUR WORDS BEFORE POSTING DUDE !Are you kidding? Man you German guys are really anal about your sub channels. Wow. OK, I understand that you cannot show up 30 minutes early given the time zone difference. So, at the very least, can you at least tell me what the exact names of the channel should be here in a post? And sorry, I am a perfectionist when it comes to posting. I compulsively strive to reword my post to be more polite and efficient, and correct typos. I was not aware that was a crime, DUDE.

Tonywjones44 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Btl Co talks to Co´s and wisper to Brigade.....I agree. But isn't the easiest way for the Btl C.O to speak to his Company Commanders (Or company commanders to talk to their platoon commanders) to have a SOP that says his direct subordinates must be Channel Commanders. Then the Btl C.O doesn't have to worry about setting up a whisper list to the individuals filling those slots from week to week - which will almost certainly vary. Just hit the CC whisper button and you are talking to the Co C.Os. After all, in RL, you don't worry too much about the name of the person manning a certain callsign - you just call that c/s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Volcano Posted July 13, 2012 Author Moderators Share Posted July 13, 2012 What do you think the Channel should be named?OmegaSchnewittchenSantaNew York ???No:ABCDWhat do we do Here ??I was going to name them 1.Kp, 2.Kp, 3.Kp, 4.Kp. So as you can see, I would have been wrong. Thanks for clearing it up, even if you couldn't be bothered not being a total inconsiderate ass about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eisenschwein Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Sorry, but we have only ONE Company tonight, this Company have 4 Platoons, so why we have Channels 1.Kp; 2.Kp; 3.Kp....Instead of 2.Kp- 1. Plt = A- 2. Plt = B- 3. Plt = C- 4. Plt = DThat is new to you ??? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plt = A- 2. Plt = B- 3. Plt = C- 4. Plt = DThat is new to you ???Uh, no, I was not totally aware the Germans used letters for platoon numbers. OK sure, in the back of my mind I might have known this but perhaps I wouldn't have remembered it when I setup the channel, then I would have to rename them again to letters. And I wasn't sure you knew exactly that only one company was present in THIS scenario, but in another it might be two GE companies (thus I was thinking you wanted to setup company channels). But really, what is so hard to say this:"Can you please create 4 sub channels under the GE channel of A, B, C, D?"Problem solved. Or better yet, in your previous post you could of just replied simply "A, B, C, D please" and knock off all the sarcasm.In any case, I created your blessed sub channels. I am done talking about this.

Panzer_Leader Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 On a more light hearted note I wanted to wish BLUEFOR good luck today. Once my mobilisation orders come through I'm hoping to join you at the front next week or, failing that, July 27. As a "reservist" I'm happy to serve wherever NATO needs me! :cvcys: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Volcano Posted July 13, 2012 Author Moderators Share Posted July 13, 2012 Oh, I did it:Uh, OK. Let's pretend that you did spell it out to me that you wanted four channels (yes) called "A, B, C, D" in that post. But no, sorry, I didn't glean that info out of your post.Other than that, what else do you want me to do? I am at a loss of what this second post is intending to accomplish? Is this some kind of pissing contest now? Are you trying to exclude yourself from the campaign or something? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingtiger Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 While the arty thundered in the background and reports from fleeing citizens of russian tanks in the village behind the hills the unit was out of contact with higher ups. So CO decided to send a dispatch rider on a MC back, afraid that the net was being jammed by russian electronic warfare units.When the dispatch rider returned to the CO the CO asked, almost red in the face:-"So, what is happening? why havent we received any orders!? why havent we recieved any reports regarding the rumoured tanks in the village?"Dispatch Rider just shrugged his shoulders, mumbling something like -"Damn if I know, its a nuthouse over there, two officers at eachothers throats about some radio net setup and procedure, when I tried to interfere they told me to go to hell, so here I am again. If you want me Im over at the mess trying to get some coffee going.":biggrin: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibsonm Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I'm guessing the Soviets don't have this issue. No wonder there are so many people in Brussels just to get the armies to stop fighting each other and maybe, guess what, fight the Soviets. I certainly wish my conops had generated as much "enthusiastic" discussion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonywjones44 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Standby one, everybody. What senior commanders will want to know is how to communicate with the Channel Commanders below them as group - by using a single key. Off to do some more trial and error. brb. OK. The answer to this is: Senior (e.g batallion or company ) commanders who wish to speak only with their subordinates (company or platoon) should set 'Subchannels' in their Whisper Target box. Subordinate commanders who wish to speak only to the commander one level above them (which will normally be the case) should set 'Parent Channel' in their Whisper Target box. If they select 'All Parent Channels they will be talking to ALL Channel Commanders above them all the way up to SACEUR! Thinks: 'Eisenhower is still the boss isn't he...?' 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Volcano Posted July 14, 2012 Author Moderators Share Posted July 14, 2012 Thanks all for showing up. As I said to some already, wow, both sides put up a helluva fight. Especially thanks for the Germans coming out so early, I understand how hard it is to get up that early (at least for me). Hope to see you guys all again each time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
