BG ANZAC - 07 JUN 0900GMT (with TeamViewer support)

[Gibsonm]

By now most readers will already know who BG ANZAC is, so I'll put the BLUF (Bottom Line Up Front) in first, then background, etc. If you are new to the forum, feel free to read the entire post.

Count down: Time remaining until Meeting start

 

Mission will start promptly at 0900 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 0900 GMT.

 

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.

 

Agenda:

 

Good news / Bad news - my planned absence in June is now cancelled. Accordingly this Thursday (and the others in June) is back on. I'll update the Calendar as well.

 

In addition work on RT'19 and other items will resume too.

 

The recent very limited attendance means it makes even less sense to create a mission for X people when 0.25X attend, however:

 

1. If we get enough people coming back, perhaps run their solutions to the homework given out previously? I've updated the "SOSRA" mission to incorporate a "fix" to the FASCAM issue (refer post in Support thread).

 

Link to the current version will be in the email accompanying this post.

 

2. Revisiting some "not so easy missions" from the past - probably harder still after 4.023. These need a few people to turn up.

 

3. Do some "Brilliant at the Basics" work? This can encompass some Tutorials (along the recent sessions on Obstacles, Artillery, Symbology, Routes and Tactics, etc.) or working through some small unit density scenarios.

 

As always, visitors / first timers / spectators are welcome.

 

Current Standard: 4.023

 

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

Good mission and thanks for the session.

 

I for one in line with what we discussed, would be happy for a session with hints and pointers regarding making of a scenario.
