I would also like Zoerrgh to shoot at stuff too... preferably not her own men! :lol:

Zero: I've been checking regularly... as soon as you see something, you'll be shooting at it...

I was having a ponder, and a look at locarno's fighting system. Will we be using that system BFalcon?

If so, I think we should attach one of the infantry squads (do we have two or three? If two, ignore this) to the HQ section, for protection. If we're sending of a squad, I'll attach one of my tankers under their command etc etc...

2 infantry sections, 1 armour, 1 air and 1 HQ - but I think the HQ includes mechanics, cooks, medics etc who can double up as guards...

Both infantry sections are currently shooting at each other in the exercise.

Incidently, a few more days and I'll be getting the story moving again... I just need to get a few designs (read: as many as possible) for consideration for inclusion in the new vehicle book - I'm one of the playtesters and it's due to go to printing shortly, I think. Barnest: I think you'll like it.

I have no love for the design system in it unfortunately

BFalcon · **Posted:** Fri Oct 28, 2011 12:51 pm

I didn't either, but now I've seen it in all its glory, I've changed my mind... and even if some things are a little over-sized (eg some comms upgrades), it's easy to explain away, but it only takes a brief time to design even an AFV.

Shame you're not closer - I'd invite you up and could show you the system... I'm not allowed to share the documents, but I'm sure that Matt wouldn't mind if I happened to leave them on the side for you to play with a bit... just so long as you didn't nick them.

Hehe, the distance is a little far...

I'll prob have a flick through it, and give it a chance as you say... but I like my in depth creators

BFalcon · **Posted:** Fri Oct 28, 2011 1:06 pm

Quite honestly, I think I'll be using both... the in-depth for when I have plenty of time and want a design that's just-so, but mostly the new system. There's some interesting cross-stream ideas that actually work in the new system.

On the other hand, I think the playtesters have pretty much caused Matthew to go bald now... we've been bombarding him with weird things that cropped up and weird ideas and things we thought should be in there to the point where we're sick of the revisions now and just want to get some designs done...

I'm here.

I'm here, but I now have to find my paper versions of the map so I can remember what the hell was going on...

I had everyone's positions marked out in pencil.

I was doing designs for the new vehicle book, but my secondary HDD decided to screw up right before sending them to Matt... typically... I've not heard anything from him after emailing him, so I'm guessing that he's already written me off, so I guess I'm back to GMing here... when I can find the bits of paper...

Would it not be possible to.. skip? this little training exercise

Or does everyone want to play through it? (sorry)

zero · **Posted:** Wed Nov 02, 2011 12:19 pm

I do not care about the training exercise myself, I would rather be out shooting stuff. I dislike tactics and battleship style gaming, much rather vague descriptions and I go out myself without worrying about the NPCs past the occasional order on the fly...

...and this why I wouldnt be a good leader in RL :lol:

Besides, I havent seen middenface around for a while now...

barnest2 · **Posted:** Wed Nov 02, 2011 3:00 pm

He's certainly around. He is just a bit busy with 2300...
