Battleforce Play by Post
« on: May 23, 2011, 10:51:00 AM »
Knightmare please move if this is in the wrong section.

Hello
   I am trying to get together a play by post for Battleforce. Here are the requirments.
You have to go to the Classicbattletech.com and download the battleforce quick start rules. We will be playing with just those rules for now as this is more for 'beginners'. I hope to start an intermediate and advance section. I have played a few games of Battleforce, but I haven't played and advanced game yet. If you are interrested please post here. In the beginners section we will play with the QSR and the force in it only. In the Intermediate we will use the same rule set and use any mech. I know wher we can download a list of every mech. In the advanced level we will use Start Ops. ($15 for the PDF) rules. We might try to use Vassel to play by email at some point, but for now I want to keep it as simple as I can. If you have played Battleforce before and want to join, cool as I have said I have only played a few games and all with just myself. This might move a bit slow at first as I figure out whats what an all, so please be patient with me.

I am in but:
1. I never played BattleForce
2. I won't be available for the next two weeks.

And 3. What will be the era?

Ice Hellion
    1 no problem
    2 when your ready no prob.
    3. We are going to use the Quick Start Rule so we are just going to use the mechs in there. After we get 'up and running' we will discuss the era then.
When you get the change download and print off the Quick Start Rules and read through them.

Ok ^ want you to pick which force you want to play the WOB or Ghost Bears. We will try this out with the two lighter uni and I think we need a turn limit as well I played with myoldest son the other day and I had to chase him down. Finally ended up calling the game. Anyways pick one and let me know.

Yes, I had to ask. Next you have to set up your unit on a hex on the map included with the QS rule and tell me and I'll tell you where I placed mine.

Don't you think we should do this by PM?

Speaking as an interested observer i'd like you to keep them in the open as i'm interested in seeing how it works and then (maybe) having a go myself later.

Ice, I agree with 6. Let's keep it in the open so other can see what we are doing and either join the fun or give us some advice on how to run or not run things.  I want others to want to join the fun and as I'm new to tyhe play by post maybe we could get some advice on how to run the games smoother than what we are doing. I talked with KM about setting up our little part of the forum, so untill it's ready we can do this here. What do you think? I don't want to upset you. Well let me know.

6 your welcome to join in anytime, as well as anyone else.

"The defending player sets up first, placing his Units anywhere within
3 hexes of the south edge (short end) of the mapsheet."  :)

Which means you are the one that is supposed to deploy first.
