| I'm thinking that this tournament will fill up quickly, since it allows only 16 players. That puts the guys in the western time zones at a distinct disadvantage. I believe at Midnight of Nov.30th, there will be registrations submitted but for the time zones west of EST, the disadvantage is obvious. ... |

That really is a novel concept. How was it arrived at? Any precursors?

| There was another problem with the real courier system that could pop up using the communication rule: It was not uncommon for a commander to receive written orders from more than one superior and sometimes the orders were not only contradictory but out of sequence due to one of the couriers getting... |

Hehe. I stand corrected, 36 hexes it is. IMHO this is more realistic than no communication at all.

| There is a communication rule that can be implemented to add realism to battles. I was introduced to it through my brigade commanders, Matt Perrenod, Dierk Walter,Mike Dean and Niall Murphy who use it in MP play. This rule allows unlimited communication between commanders who are in the same hex but... |

| Thanks for responding Pierre. In the beginning everyone knows each other and there is alot of esprit de corps. I see it in today's club although it is surely different from the early days. Did the club start with the BG games only? When did HPS games kick in? MG Drex Ringbloom, Cdr, 2nd Div "Corcora... |

| With the two separate sides, it is really two separate "clubs". I'm glad Roger came back because it is important to have continuity with the past and to keep traditions alive. Is Pierre still around? BTW I can't picture Hulinsky in blue. MG Drex Ringbloom, Cdr, 2nd Div "Corcoran's Legion", VIII Corp... |
