Hello chaps, I have an embryo of an idea for the next event against the 352nd and wanted to get your opinion on it before I go to deep. I have had an idea of a map that we put up for say 24 or 48 hours and players could take part for as much as they wanted to or for when they wanted to. I had this idea to include people in different time zones could all contribute to the end result. The map would be Tanks and Planes with a more active role for the pilots, having targets like factories that stop tank production or the ability to take out bridges to stop and advance. There would be times when the map was quiet and missions could be achieved unopposed and times when it could get busy. Each side would try and take territory by capturing flags in towns. Are these the ramblings of a mad man or a gem of an idea? You the public decide...

Maybe Saturday night was always going to be a risky night to hold a session on Col ? Once the “novelty period” of tanking was over and real life restrictions subsided, Saturday night resorted back to its traditional role of being a social occasion ? Perhaps another look at our weekday session schedule would be in order ? For me personally I enjoy the multi crew aspect and I know Parts and Sidly do too. Parts has Wednesday nights free I think, I do, not sure about Sidly or anyone else ? I know you put a lot of time and effort into tanking so it is a shame to have such low attendance on a Saturday.

One thing I realized later: We had to simply go for the bridge, and confront them there, in the streets, avoiding them big open space between factory and railyard...

Not really. You can drive from the gunner's gunsight, move, steer, fire. For sure, it's not ideal as view wise you cannot see the building's corners and stuff, but it can be done. It's my preferred way of sneaking through the streets... Whilst driving like that, better not rotate the turret, it will throw you off ...

Few thoughts.... It was a great evening, I enjoyed it and would do it again....and again.... Vehicles Both sides balanced. Tiger is appropriate and should be limited, it's main gun is a great advantage. Map Great for the task as it was meant to be street battles. Aircraft had trouble spotting, vehicles ambushed. Probably reality. Objectives Having played it now I think the Germans are at a disadvantage due to the placement of the objectives. The objectives south of the river are too far way for the Axis to consider given the time it would take to get there whereas once north of the river the Allies don't have far to travel to capture the town ones. Allies placing a tank covering the river bridges could maintain the two objectives there and also prevent Axis trips south of the river. I think they had 3 easier objectives...the 2 south of the river and the Western Approaches due to travel distance and time. Pre match briefing Excellent. All things covered. Gameplay Definitely consider turning off outside view, this gives a good advantage to those using it. Now both teams know what to expect, we need a level playing field. Comms Didn't work especially well for Parts as I think that the setup we agreed on ie. tactical talk only, went out of the window very quickly. For this to work we can't resort to usual Dogz banter. Put this in with the tactics and we made life very difficult for ourselves. As command tank, Part's definitely needs an extra crew member as gunner. Tactics As with any plan, it usually fails on first contact. The match was no exception and the fact that it didn't work for us isn't down to Parts' intentions. I would love to have seen pairs working together but it didn't happen. We made life very difficult for ourselves as soon as some Dogz started to self deploy...I did it after a while when it was time for a respawn as I could see we didn't have any objectives under control and the time was ticking away, hence my 2 attempts at the Western Approaches - although travel time here was a serious disadvantage. Did we have too many aircraft? Did they have less aircraft and boosted tank numbers? Keep the comments coming...it can only help

That would make a huge difference, for both sides !
