RE: Series two rules in hand - Tony M - 01-11-2024 You guys are making me very, very depressed. My high school business law teacher, the late Mr. O'Shaughnessy, who spent so much time teaching us how to write proper business letters, is up there in heaven crying his eyes out.

I am going to make you duel it out with Siege Artillery at 14,000 yards across no-man's land while wearing gas masks! North Korean style. RE: Series two rules in hand - treadasaurusrex - 01-12-2024 Ah, but you missed the part about having to pre-plot 40-turn's worth of artillery "drumfire."

RE: Series two rules in hand - treadasaurusrex - 01-12-2024 One of the more awful things about Infantry Attacks! How about an Artillery plotting house rule - plloyd1010 - 01-13-2024 I don't know how long it would take to get word from the battle area to the artillery park, but I am going to assume it's a little over an hour. (That is at least a good framework for in game resolution.) So here goes. OBA orders may be changed in 2 ways, Normal Channels and Field Orders. Any changes to OBA firing orders are recorded in the Bombardment phase.
RE: Series two rules in hand - treadasaurusrex - 01-13-2024 Thanks Peter for opening this discussion with a house rule governing Infantry Attacks OBA. I want to be like just you, when I grow up! I suggest that your proposed rule be simplified, consolidated & restated, as follows: Pre-plotted, off-board artillery targets may be changed every 6 turns (90 minutes of game time) at the discretion of the owning player. Even the slowest WWI carrier pigeon, forward field telegrapher (my Great Uncle at Verdun, the Aisle, Chateau-Thierry and later at Meuse-Argonne), bicycle messenger, or mounted/dismounted courier would be able to get word of such a targeting change back to the firing batteries, or Fire Direction Control (FDC) in that amount of time if they are already firing at registered targets. I think that the guns could quickly be re-aligned and registered on the new target coordinates well within that time frame as well. RE: Series two rules in hand - sagunto - 01-13-2024 When it comes to rules writing; the simpler, the better! RE: Series two rules in hand - Miguelibal - 01-13-2024 Amen, my friend! |
