Nike-Ajax

Sounds like a plan

Well … "Riding roughshod over others" … is probably a bit too much. Or a lot. I did not pick the time. But fair enough: I will ask the other only other guy who is in already if we can delay. Also as has been stated quite a few times then this is NOT a Kanium thing, so unclear what you guys mean. Which is one of the reasons we meet for ADHOCs in SB TS - per your wish actually.

We will start a session in about 2 hours time from the posting of this message 😁

ADHOC - tonight, tonow or not too soon? To Play or not to Play, that is the question. Whether its nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrow of outrageous OPFOR, or by opposing end it. Sorry ... my cabin fever got the better of me: Anyone up for some daygaming (for me) today, alternatively tonight at the regular time? I updated the Gauntlet and would like to see if I made it better and not too hard...

Yeah same: Far be it from me to tell you what to do, but you might - possibly and potentially - have better luck posting in the ADHOC thread?

Sorry Dboy - IrishHussar already took it: I moved you to C43 - I hope thats ok?

Thank you 😁

+1 ... or is that +2 technically ... ? 🤭

Thank you Hmmm ... for me its yellow ... but could be my eyesight failing ... 😄

KANIUM Sunday 12th of April- "Operation Golden Eagle" by Apocalypse Where: Kanium TS : teamspeak3.i3d.net:10077 World Clock 1800 GMT (Same time as always in Europe - now adjusted for Summer Time: click the time below for your local time) World clock 1800 GMT IMPORTANT NOTICE: This SB session may be recorded with video and sound and uploaded, including to a public youtube channel. IMPORTANT NOTICE II: I suggest to all who play with us download and install Chris mappack: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hr1jl33xxhacftx/SB Converted Maps v2.rar?dl=0 For the next three months at least we will be working with this mappack and the official one when making scenarios. AS always, then we are running the session with the latest version of Steelbeasts. Everybody is Welcome: you don't have to belong to Kanium. We love playing with you all, the arranger and CO loves you even more if you sign up in advance

We were 26 😁

Actually then my mother tried to ban me from playing with toyguns and military stuff ... but she gave up rather quickly 😁 So I honestly looking back dont feel that I was indoctrinated. An important point with the West as opposed to the dictatorships, is that we had free speech and free press. And I for one remember a lot of anti-militaristic rhetoric from a lot of different sources. Some of which later turned out to have been financed by non-western sources. I actually happen to think that one of the strengths of democracies is that they allow dissent and more than one viewpoint. I do not always agree with others views, but will defend their right to have and express them always. Churchill IMHO was right when he stated: "No-one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise," and continued: "Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time."

As there are now many posts in this thread: and thank you all for the interest and activity, then I will just try to gather the practical and technical input here so its in one place: Disregard if you already know it or have read it - we are looking forward to seeing you tonight: Please be there at least 30 minutes early if you need to check comms, the scenario etc. because we are many people tonight so we start promptly at the indicated time in order to respect everyone's time and because this is a large scenario timewise. 1) Radio Discipline: brief and precise because there will be lots of traffic even then: this goes inside the PLTs as well. PLT LDRs, PLT SGTs and Command Group only on command net. 2) Contact Reports: This is a general challenge: but even more this time because we have a full command group including an FO. The CO will communicate his wishes, but for everyone's sake, including your own PLT, then tell what you see, and what you are doing as a minimum. Even better: Put down a reference point so the Command Group and not least the FO has a chance to coordinate everything including FIRES. 3) Have FUN ! 😊 IMPORTANT TECHNICAL DETAIL: We are trying to optimize everything in advance to give you all a seamless and fun session. But to help us doing that, then please observe the following: If you have a slower internet connection or computer, then please shut down all non-essential applications before game start to ensure we have the best cooperative technical platform. As a lot of vehicles will be Double manning aka 2 people in the turret and we will get a lot of losses everybody need to have set up so they can listen and talk on their platoon channels So when people die and some will you grab a seat as a gunner in another tank first in your own PLT. - but always ASK your PLT LDR first please, so he knows what is happening. So every vehicle has its own channel The PLT leaders and PSG (Platoon SG) need to be able to Broadcast on both Command and their own Platoon net. If you guys cant remember here is a guide https://docs.google.com/document/d/14oDdWYFaKK3JR4gnWb8wy5OfsUwPCZsNwfvOVq5QP-g/edit?usp=sharing The push to talk button needs to be different from the command push to talk button , the leaders need 2 besides the normal push to talk button If you use the normal SB setup the "Alt", "Shift", "V", "K", "L" can work besides the buttons on your joystick We look forward to playing what should first and foremost be a fun and enjoyable experience

And China And Iran And a lot of other countries sadly ...
