Howdy all,

Just a little advance notice that I will be on vacation July 4-16th.

I have posted the first of a several part scenario.  I will post a couple more parts Sunday, and wrap up Monday-Tuesday.
I will be sending snip my HY2 plans and putting up my HY2 turn before I take off. I hope.

I have returned :)
I'll be playing a little catch up this week.
Including finding out if my linked H2 map made sense or not :)

Just put an arrow here on the map and an arrow there on the map and another one in the corner and another in the other corner... That would make perfect sense, right? :)

Kaiser Kirk

That would be less work.
Actually I color in the territories I want, and add a label / box with the #provinces and the #land units assigned.

For example, I counted the Marianas->Diego Garcia as 1 province. Sri Lanka was 4, but I was assigning 8 land units to it. The real life Kingdom of Kandy had a small Royal Guard, so 8 land units should be ...about 16:1 odds.

Oh jeez, I completely forgot the whole "what forces am I committing" thing this time around.  Just gave snip a map.  Sorry dude.

I should have at least fifty deployment points still available, so I'm not short on forces.  Only really an issue if somebody else overlaps and we rumble.

That's my situation also.
It was tempting just to grab everything T1, but this "realism" idea got in my head. So a bit more leapfrogish.

Pacing is definitely a challenge.  I've fought the same temptation to stretch out.

Meanwhile, I've almost maxed my deployment points. The cons of having so little.
You smug-faced crowds with kindling eye
Who cheer when solider lads march by
Sneak home and pray that you'll never know
The hell where youth and laughter go.

Well, it'll take, like, decades to build all the IC necessary to free up the deployment points some of us are using.

Hi all,
I'm assigned a wildfire, so I'm likely to be basically unavailable for the next 2-3 weeks.
Carry on :)
