Are yours about to/have just gone the other way? Both our holders of 8+ licences look doubtful for Sunday. If push comes to shove, could you host? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TankHunter Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 (edited) I think I still have the special version if hosting is ever needed and I'm around. Edited March 25, 2016 by TankHunter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tjay Posted March 26, 2016 Author Share Posted March 26, 2016 Still need a C.O for this. Cut off time for volunteering is 19:00Z today, Saturday. I will check back here at that time and if someone has stepped up I will post a link to the .sce file. That will allow 24hr for planning. Best to open the mission in the mission editor, create your plan and save the file with '+plan' in the title. That will ensure the plan and map launch together. Please provide a link here to your file for Dr Hat to pick up at 17:00Z latest. Start time is 18:00Z (7pm in UK; 8pm in Denmark).  If no one steps up I will do it, but it would be nice to see someone new have a go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibsonm Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Let me guess you bought a bunch of chocolate eggs and will be forced to eat them yourselves as you realise she isn't old enough to eat chocolate?

Gibsonm Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 (edited) Can I just confirm that this will start at 1800 GMT? Â That equates to 0500 here which is fine. Â However the Calendar entry, created after this thread was created, displays 0300 as my local start time (perhaps a typo)? Â I'll work on the 0500 start and if I miss it, my apologies, but I'm not keen to get up at 0230 if it does start at 0500 for me.

Gibsonm Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 (edited) Yes and that's where I got 1800 GMT / 0500 Local from. Â As I say though the Calendar entry (as opposed to the post) says 0300. Â Anyway guess I'll find out in 5hrs or so. Edited March 27, 2016 by Gibsonm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tjay Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 (edited) NARRATIVE AAR  Despite a lower turnout than recent missions (almost certainly due to interference from Easter bunnies) it was a good night. The .sce file, including plan graphics can be found here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/37947215/The%20Town%20That%20Was%20Callsigns_%2Bplan.rar Basically, 1st Plt (Major Duck) got EA1, 2nd Plt (Swordsman) got EA2 and India Platoon Mech Inf (Katie) got EA3. 3rd Plt (12A, all on his lonesome) was held in reserve. His Plt was eventually split into 2 sections; one going to support 1 Plt, the other to support 2 Plt. Good shooting, rearming and resupply resulted in the very heavy and sustained assault being defeated before any vehicles were able to penetrate the town bounndaries. Game ended at H+1:05 when the Apaches arrived - finding nothing to do!  Notable points were:  1. Katie getting his platoon well forward on the right front in the short time before the enemy started pouring in from the North, and bushwacking them as they went past. 2. Swordsman finding out that the scrapes provided were, to use his word, 'deathtraps'. The lesson being: Don't trust a defensive position provided for you buy someone you don't know! Recovery of his platoon to better positions with the loss of only one vehicle was very well done. 3. Excellent coordination between 2plt and India in the latter stages to protect the right flank. 4. All round excellent communication 5. The decision by the C.O not to interfere with his platoon commanders and let them get on with it. The .aar file can be found here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/37947215/The%20Town%20That%20Was%20Callsigns_%2Bplan_032716GAMES_11904.rar  Link to Swordsman's Movie. Sound is apparently double-tracked for some reason.  Edited March 28, 2016 by Tjay 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swordsmandk Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 It is noted.  I fully respect the need not to fraps or record when people has RL restrictions against it.   We all accept that I hope.  My wish for the steelbeasts community is to minimise stuff like this and just game together.  I hope we all agree and can minimise this in future. The more people playing the more fun it is I hope.   0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matsimus Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 So I hope I have never offend anyone if I record. I always ask but if you ever find me out of line make sure you let me know. I am pretty sure I have never recorded anything without peoples permission. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjay Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) No problem Matsimus. We ALL respect the fact that some people can not attend multiplayer sessions that are recorded because they consider that to do so would violate their 'terms of employment'. The problem in this case was a misunderstanding of what was intended as a joke, nothing more. However, it will be UKA's policy in future to not only allow recording but to encourage it, because post mission analysis is such a valuable training tool. Also pefectly happy for people like yourself to publish those videos outside the SB Pro PE community for entertainment and promotional purposes.

That's of course the people running the sessions perogative.  As in previous sessions when someone cannot be recorded there are ways to work around this.  Maximus proved this very well on the 13th of March.  My personal view on this is that this is something we sort out before the session.  It is something that can easily coexist.  My 2 cents on this.  Now on to more mission and planning and pewpew.    0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjay Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share Posted March 30, 2016 My post is intended to make it quite clear what UK Armour's policy in respect of recording is to avoid any misunderstandings and to save discussion of ad-hoc 'workarounds' prior to mission start . As such it stands. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
