Re: Back (Slowly)

Welcome back, Don! I like where you place your faith. I also got a good laugh out of "Don't do that again!" I could just picture you in a backless, hospital gown teetering on the brink of death and barking orders to the professional, medical staff that is desperately trying to save your life. Sounds...

Re: Axis Opponent Sought for Panzer Campaigns...

Yes I am also hoping Geoff is okay, I have not heard from him since I received my last turn from him on June 13 (just over two months ago). Hmmm, that's a long time. The last time he logged into the forums was on June 10th. I too sincerely hope that Geoff is OK. https://wargamingsociety.com/signatu...

just a quick question from a newbie to TWS but are all competition games played using non alt scenarios?
No, not necessarily. That is not a policy.

Tournament scenarios are generally selected for length, size and balance.

Re: Large Map, Multi-Day Battles

Looking forward to it, Mike! It's a great way for us to keep in touch.

I will play either side as well, although I assume your preference would be to play the Confederates. I am totally good either way.

Email coming to you.

Re: Visible Hexes - New WDS Setting

Colin, I have not personally researched it yet, but from what I have read of Bill's writings, you may want to make a test run of leader casualties. I would invite you to open a scenario in which Nappy B advances beyond his lines without an escort to converse with some fine, British guardsmen who vil...

Re: Visible Hexes - New WDS Setting

I don't have any issue with the "Strict LOS" optional rule as currently programmed as I can readily turn it OFF. I don't personally like the feature because it is easily bypassed and makes the game less playable. I have no issue with anyone who likes the rule. It is a personal preference that can re...

Re: Visible Hexes - New WDS Setting

I fully agree with Al.

I think these changes were ill-advised. I will place my experience with these Napoleonic games against anyone.

The king is listening to the wrong counsellor(s).

Re: WWII 2023-2024 Bulge 44 - Bastogne Tournament

I normally just use the Optional Rules that are suggested in the scenario description.

There are many players in TWS with more PzC experience than I have, so I certainly could be missing something important here.

Re: First Day at Gettysburg

I had actually never looked at that scenario until you mentioned it. The reduction in objective points was totally the correct answer. The victory levels are now evenly balanced for both sides. Glad you won the argument, Bill. You were entirely right. https://wargamingsociety.com/signatures/COBBBSIG...

Re: Large Map, Multi-Day Battles

Then I must decline your offer.

That scenario is heavily unbalanced in favor of the Confederates.
