Battle of the Bulge - Panzer IV or V

[Friar]

Salute

The Panzer Lehr (the unit we are representing) had a mixture of Panzer IV and V's.

In order to reflect this I am going to assign everyone a tank, otherwise I can see us all in Panthers!

I am going to do this by taking a dice and rolling it for each player.

If it lands on 1,2 or 3 you will be given a Panzer IV

If it lands on 4,5 or 6 you will be given a Panzer V

This is for the start of the series.

If you really do not like your given tank you can change at the first activated spawn point but I would hope you do stick with your issued ride.

Here are the assignments

Tank #   Player     Type

1. APHill - Panzer V

2. Sweeper - Panzer V

3. Sid - Panzer V (Multi Crew with Painless and Parts)

4. Friar - Panzer IV (Multi Crew with FT and Perfesser)

5. Flack - Panzer IV

6. FT - Panzer IV (Multi Crew with Friar and Perfesser)

7. Artie - Panzer V

9. Painless - Panzer V (Multi Crew with Sid and Parts)

10. Wingflyer - Panzer IV

12. Squawk - Panzer IV

13. Parts - Panzer V (Multi Crew with Sid and Painless)

Tanks 8,14,15,16,17,18,19,20 are all free at the time of writing.

If all of the above play this will give us 8 tanks for the event.

Don't forget to download Sid's numbered skin pack...

[Perfesser]

So it seems we can have a new ID system. Numbers and letters in black or white as well as yellow and red. 

Rather than think what number is what player how about just using our names? For example I could be PRF

Can you guess who are the players below?

FRR

SID

FT

PRT

PAI

CRS

POK

SQK

SWP

REG

Squad leaders use red or yellow instead of white/black.

Don't tell Sid that his weeks of hard work doing the skins have come to nothing.....

I dont think the numbers are an issue a simple list by the side of your screen as a reference works and the numbers look more realistic, but a nice idea going forward

[Friar]

[Perfesser]

OK.

Still trying to dl skins....

Don't worry about downloading skins Perf...I believe the decision is to go with the game new code interface

[Perfesser]

Thanks Sid, curious why I have trouble and was trying another browser (Brave) but it failed too after an hour at 150-300 kb/s.

Noticed also that allied tanks only have a Cyrillic alphabet 

[Friar]

Yep, you will be fine with the new numbering system so no skins required.

Just need to select stock white skin and add your number it is very easy.

I am just about to test being able to pre load these as well.

Probably because the module is set in prokhorovka so allied were only russian....
