Gibsonm Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Who is BG ANZAC? http://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: So if you are interested, visit our web site http://www.bganzac.org and sign up. Timings: Thursday evenings, Australian time. So Daylight Saving has kicked in here and for the next 6 months the country is broken up into yet more time zones. Next meeting: 0830 GMT on Thursday, November 24th 0830 in London 1630 in Perth 1800 in Darwin 1900 in Adelaide 1930 in Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra 1830 in Brisbane 2130 in Auckland http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20161124T0830 This may need to be adjusted given the late start in NZ, perhaps moving to 0800 GMT? So a work around: 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. Count down: http://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/generic?iso=20161124T0830 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). http://www.teamviewer.com/en/index.aspx?pid=google.tv.s.au&gclid=CPLOveOGlcECFVgkvQodqk0A4g This maybe a suitable vehicle for people to see what the software is all about, without having to invest in even a short time limited copy. Anyway we'll see how it goes. Agenda: As always depends on sign ups but: 1. Another (final?) crack at the Reserve Demolition scenario as there is one Blue plan yet to run. 2. Running the EA Management scenario (circa 1980s with Leo AS1 and Milan against same Red). 3. Moving on to look at some sort of Offensive Ops scenario for the next planning cycle. 4. Perhaps some one on one coaching / Q & A if numbers are down. 5. Discussion re Rolling Thunder '17 and possible re-runs of Rolling Thunder '16 missions (now in 4.x) over Christmas break. As always, visitors / first timers / spectators are welcome. Current Standard: 4.010 Please use the new Calendar RSVP function to facilitate planning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedWardancer Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 I am currently between jobs, and haven't sent a TOW missile downrange since April of this year. It will be a 3:30am kickoff here, but I have no plans for Thanksgiving. Therefore, I ask to join in on this session. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibsonm Posted November 22, 2016 Author Share Posted November 22, 2016 Thanksgiving doesn't matter to us and I can't guarantee they'll be TOWs, but you are welcome. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedWardancer Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Just give me infantry, scouts, or a FIST-V and I'll be just fine. Heck, I'll even operate the combat support. After missing out on playing SB online, I don't care what I play with. Just wanna play! I promise not to cause friendly fire!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibsonm Posted November 24, 2016 Author Share Posted November 24, 2016 Well its on the web site, but this (the SB) one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedWardancer Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Only had four people show up, three of us played a small mission, "Centurions in the Nam." Got our heads handed to us. Worse yet, my comms was acting up again. All I could do was communicate by text. I could hear everything, just couldn't speak. We were outnumbered, outgunned. I lost about 80% of my infantry to the largest NVA artillery unit in fictional history! In addition, they had T-55 tanks which chewed up the rest of my infantry. All we had were 81mm mortars for support, clearly ineffective. We lost and lost in total embarassment. Played at 3:30am EST in the US, 4:00pm Aussie time. Upset. Stumbles. Massacre. Hoping for a better game next time! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibsonm Posted November 24, 2016 Author Share Posted November 24, 2016 Ah well that's what happens when you play an "under development" scenario. Next time (if you can't sleep) we'll go with a known quantity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer_Leader Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Yeah, sorry about my comms too. My TeamSpeak went down and wouldn't come back up, though I was still in the session I think (though it was extremely laggy). When TS came back online all U.S. and Australian forces had been evacuated from Vietnam, so sometime around 1975 I guess 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
