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

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.

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).

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.

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!  :ph34r:
