The Fulda Gap (OOC) War Game

[Gunther]

We are enduring a family crisis in my house. My wife has been staying home lately, which means I don't get to sit at the computer as much as I normally do. I hope to be able to do more work on the IC tomorrow. She says she is going to work. I will state that i have started work on the general situation affecting both sides and the US Situation. I've only scratched the surface on the Soviet situation. I hope to get it up tomorrow night. I'm in Eastern USA.

The In Character thread is up. Please read it over. You can read the opposition Situation if you like and please ask questions. According to the Posting order, Hotshot will go first.

[Hotshot]

Hey, sorry for my delay;Afghanistan problems haha, things have been pretty busy for me. I will try to get my shit up ASAP.

[Gunther]

I assumed you were busy with work. I hope this thread doesn't remind you to much of work.

[Gunther]

I finished reviewing the rules for Assault. There are some aspects I won't use while others, I will need to be creative in translating into text. As examples, what happens when a unit is suppresses or broken? When this happens in game, you may find units shivering in fear; paralyzed or running from the enemy without your control.

Thought I'd pop in and confirm that I'm still here. JarlWolf's got his dialysis going on at the moment, but he should be back in business within the next week or so.

[Gunther]

Thanks Red. Hotshot has been pretty busy and does intend to post the BLUFOR Concept of the Operation sometime. Just don't know when. Seeing as I originally posted a version of this several months ago an it didn't take then. I can wait for him.
