Tonywjones44 Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 I'm not in th UK, but I could make game time every now and then if you need someone to run OPFOR for you. Tacbat, If you'd like to be kept informe or our activities, why not join the group? We are, however, in the early stages of training at the moment and you might find us a bit 'elementary!.

I've been a member of a RAF virtual squadron for many years that uses a Yahoo group for information - and AFAIK, we've never had any problems. But if this group starts getting spammed it will me moved to another protocol pronto.RegardsTjayC.O. UKArmour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May be a while - we have to do some training before we can consider taking on human opponents. Best wishesTjayC.O UKArmour 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grenny Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Hmm , If playing at 2000 central-euro-time would be OK for you, we could set up some joined exercises.(on the virtual NTC-Bergen-Hohne)I'm currently probing the water if there is interesst for that in the german community. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll bear it it mind, but as my post 'UKArmour clarification' says, we are going to be in the work-up phase for a while yet. You'll be advised when we feel confident enough for some head-to-head stuff!Best wishesTjayC.O UKArmour 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eisenschwein Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Sorry, no H2H.What we are planning is a TF Coop with 2 Plt CV; 1 Plt Leop2A5; Maintenance and Quartermaster Elements AND 2 Plt CR with it´s own CO or XO.Enemy will be equipped with US Armor......Plan is to attack to contact, fight through, with taking Bridges an attack the main Force.Working with real JFST, RECCE and Engineering Troops.I just need some advise what the Callsigns look like and what is the Order of Battle for independent, if detached, Tank platoons in the UK. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibsonm Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I just need some advise what the Callsigns look like and what is the Order of Battle for independent, if detached, Tank platoons in the UK.Well the doctrinal setup would be two Troops (Platoon equivalent) each of 3 CR2.CO or XO would have their own CR2.Their should also be some recovery and log assets but you can probably just say they are included in whatever you already have.I’m guessing the Brits aren’t supplying the CT HQ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonywjones44 Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 Thats why I said(or didn't I ;-) )...COOP scenario Roger. But don't some coops have human OPFOR? Anyway, it will be a while before UKArmour is combat ready, and I'm sure you wouldn't want a lot of untrained noobs fouling up your battle plan. I look forward to reading your AAR.

Members Ssnake Posted February 22, 2012 Members Share Posted February 22, 2012 Practice is the best training. Don't be afraid of if just because you haven't mastered SB Pro yet. Jump in, get wet, and learn from the experience. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jump in, get wet, and learn from the experience. Amen to that...as if we where the wise-cracks on using SB. :-D Unlike in the real world, it does not hurt if we run a Company exercise and screw up(not costs, no injuries) And: thats like most people here learned it too. We offer a chance to hop in and run a prepared and tested scenario(and as far as I know Eisenschwein a good one too). It is a good way to see what works and what doesn't and have some fun with a couple of tank-nutters... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grenny Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I guess he is playing on that tradition thingy them brits seem to cherish.As they used to wallope on 4 legged fury things(there is still a dispute wether its OK to wear spurs on a tank, am I right here? ), instead of platoon they call it "troop" :-) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
