B44 for BA2 - Multiplayer Campaign League

Just so I'm clear on the process. Russian declares divisions and areas, then German does same. Next Russian assigns Generals to divisions and then German follows. Is this correct?

Close, but not quite.

Soviets declare primary Divisions. Germans declare primary & secondary forces and Generals. Soviets then declare secondary forces and Generals...then the battles begin.

See 'Ordering' in the Campaign Info.

Maybe its just me but seems Russians have an edge there. How about Russians declare primary and secondary force commitments. Germans do the same. The second step is what I'm proposing. Russian declares commanders but sends list only to you, German does same. As soon as they both have declared you post the new battles and off we go!

This would compromise my position as a player. I would prefer to keep things out in the open. We could alternate turns on how the orders are issued. So next turn, the sequence would be reversed?

[bruce1944]

This game calls for the honor system , but I can understand your hesitation. Yes I think that would help! I think at the tourney start you said the Russians setting up might not be a good thing, has that changed?

Stalingrad - SS - Wiking XIV Corps - General JCB989

Secondary 1 - C2 - 28th Inf Div VIII Corps - FM Morge4
Secondary 2 - C4- 31st Inf DIV XII Corps - General Skyrider

Thanks for your orders sir!

Quick note in case you didn't notice though...German forces must win with both the primary and secondary attacks to take an objective city (like Stalingrad). You may wish to assign a secondary elsewhere instead to avoid having to do that...but it does then rely on having the primary only carry the victory.

Let me know if there are any questions.

Ok, then let me rethink this for a little bit. If I revise I will get it to you ASAP. And even if I don't...

While we are on the subject, keep in mind with the ordering swap that kicks in next turn (ie. the Soviets will post secondaries instead of the Germans) the Soviet could force a secondary at an objective city like Stalingrad. Hope this isn't getting too complicated!

On the plus side, we'll have this all ironed out for the next campaign
