fidelthefallguy Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 sorry I seam to have over looked this thread a number of times. When is the going to start? and how do I join the team with the leos? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Volcano Posted December 14, 2010 Moderators Share Posted December 14, 2010 I think both teams can have Leos, it is more up to how that side's commander chooses to spend their points (in other words, it depends on what they "buy"). Also, I think there will be a draft that happens when the first game starts, where both commanders will pick who will be on what side for the duration. It may not be popular, but it will hopefully ensure that it stays reasonably balanced... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacbat Posted December 16, 2010 Author Share Posted December 16, 2010 Hopefully we'll be able to get this going around the middle of Jan. Still looking for a leadership team for Red.V is right about the vehicles. Leo's are available to both sides (although fewer in number for Red). So it shouldn't matter what side you end up on, as there will be a good mix of equipment for everyone to find something they're comfortable with. You can take a look at the ORBAT to see what resources both sides can draw from. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mogwa Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 But how can red possibly win without a numerical advantage in Leo 2Es and the very latest ammo? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabot_ready Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Is Mog saying he wants to be Red CO if he could have more Leo 2Es and better ammo? Do it anyways Mog....CO ...CO...CO 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mogwa Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Nope I'm true blue M-1 guy 24/7. Im sure there are leo guys who will take the red CO/XO slots. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacbat Posted December 27, 2010 Author Share Posted December 27, 2010 Just so there's no misconceptions, equipment is not specific to one side (except for support vehicles, and some light recce). Both sides have access to the Leo family, and both versions of the M1. This was done so that regardless of which side you end up on, you'll have something to play with that you're comfortable in.The only people who know which side they'll be on before the beginning of the campaign are the two CO's and the two XO's. For everyone else, you will be "drafted" to one side or the other so that both sides are balanced with veterans and newcomers alike.Now, looking into my crystal ball (after blowing off a 1/4 inch of dust), it looks like we can start this campaign on 14 Jan 2011, all things being equal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manteuffel Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Hi Tacbat,I make a little bit of advertising for your OP in our forum.A couple of players are interested and a few days before we know about how many players sign in.best regards 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacbat Posted December 28, 2010 Author Share Posted December 28, 2010 Thanks Manteuffel,I hope to see some of the verterns from the Red Leopard campaign return, along with a few new players. It certainly shows dedication when you have to get up around 0300 on a day off to play SB! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibsonm Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 I should be able to sign up. Happy to command some LAVs or even Bradley CFVs if we are talking about "heavy" recce. If the recce just consists of "manning" some BRDMs via the map that's fine too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacbat Posted December 28, 2010 Author Share Posted December 28, 2010 Cool.If you want to see what both sides have for recce, you can take a look at the draft version of mission one on the first page of this thread. It should be a mix of light to heavy. Everyone wins! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarball Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Hi Tacbat,Good to see that you are rolling this out again - the rules look great. Are you the campaign coordinator? With all the work I recently put in trying to make the Red Leopard I wiki entry better, I recall the folly of playing and campaign coordinating simultaneously.Would you like a "referee" to call upon in order to review disputes? I'm not sure that I can commit to playing this one (I wouldn't likely make each session), but perhaps I could help in the manner I just described. If part-timers are allowed, put me down for RED - defense sounds like a challenge. If you want the referee, I obviously would not play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacbat Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 Hey Tarball,Thanks for the offer. Yes, I'll be coordinating this one , but this time around I'll be alternating between both sides from mission to mission, so I should still be able to referee if something comes up. So feel free to play in the campaign whenever you can make it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacbat Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 I've had numerous inquiries as to whether or not OPV2 will be starting next week. All I can say is that until someone fills the Red CO and XO positions, the campaign will be in indefinite limbo.Those of you who expressed some interest in CO'ing, now's the time to step up to the challenge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Volcano Posted January 12, 2011 Moderators Share Posted January 12, 2011 Still no one cares to take up the Red CO position? Come on people -- it is not hard to pull off. Just show up for seven games and be a goat herder for a little while. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibsonm Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Just show up for seven games and be a goat herder for a little while. Well as long as the seven games don’t start at 0300 local (Lima) time and I can invite my RSM (Command Sergeant Major for you US types) along then I’ll bite the bullet. Does the job also involve the actual force pick, etc. or just coming up with the plan and making sure the subordinates turn up? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacbat Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 Game starts at 2200 EST. Not sure what day/time that is for you. Yes, bring your RSM along. You'll need an XO too. Basically, the responsibilites of the CO are: -read and understand the rules -draft players to their side before mission 1 (done the night of mission 1); -decide on what equipment to purchase for the next mission; -develop a plan; -decide where to place obstacles if purchased; and -coordinate the routing of air assets and selecting the landing zones for airborne/airmobile forces if applicable. The XO assumes these responsabilities if the CO is unable to do them for whatever reason. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibsonm Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Game starts at 2200 EST. So that’s what US Eastern Standard Time as opposed to Australian Eastern Standard Time? Any chance of a time zone or maybe a GMT (Zulu) equivalent so I can a least try and work it out from there? You'll need an XO too. Well no idea where he’s coming from. Basically, the responsibilites of the CO are:-read and understand the rules -draft players to their side before mission 1 (done the night of mission 1); -decide on what equipment to purchase for the next mission; -develop a plan; -decide where to place obstacles if purchased; and -coordinate the routing of air assets and selecting the landing zones for airborne/airmobile forces if applicable. “Basically”? (implying there’s more to it). Sort of clashes a bit with: Just show up for seven games and be a goat herder for a little while. Don’t you think? It may all be off now anyway (have gone from 36 hrs NTM down to 12 for these floods). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zipuli Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 On which day would the games begin? I may be available... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacbat Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 (edited) Hey Zip,The missions would be played at the regular TGIF time which is 0300 GMT (I think) Fridays, and I plan on doing two missions a month, hopefully on alternating weeks. Although if the interest is there, and the CO's are able to put their plan together in time, we could do the missions on back to back TGIF's.

Hedgehog Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Game starts at 2200 EST. Not sure what day/time that is for you. 2200EST = 0300GMT Which equates to 1400 in Melbourne (Puckya-whatever) (Google is your friend, my friend :biggrin:) Which puts it smack in the middle of the night for me. But I think Finland is 2 hours ahead of England. So Zip could make it if he does a super early Reveille (Rather him than me though ) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zipuli Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Hm... saturday 0500 This saturday and the one ~22rd Jan are out of my reach, thanks to work and my favourite hobby, but otherwise should be doable, especially if it's only few missions a month! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibsonm Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 2200EST = 0300GMTWhich equates to 1400 in Melbourne (Puckya-whatever) (Google is your friend, my friend :biggrin:) Sure but it helps if you have a start point like “which EST”? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
