Would it be just for CD owners?

[*]The results of MY battle only, are carried over to the next battle (since its a regular generated campaign on my machine) and this means everyone plays the next battle with whatever I have been able to repair between the battles.[/list]

So players would have to battle with the same amount of pt's as the Gamemaster has (after playtesting the forthcoming battle) in R/R, i think i got it!
Novel idea!
I love it

I already played the 1st battle and got a draw, so the file is ready. Since there is no min/max player limit we could really start anytime. I just need to make sure all interested parties are ready and understand the rules/process. And I need to write up a short mission brief.

I will probably distribute the game file and briefing via download so I would ask all those interested to go ahead and PM me with your interest and I will start ironing out the "official" details.

Great,Even better for us noobs to PBEM (to get our feet wet) as you only have to send in the end battle to get the next battle data, not each turn!
Am i correct?

Yes, you play through the battle against the AI at your own pace (no need to wait for your opponent to send you his turn

) and then send me the End Game file. Oh and no replaying turns of course.

Of course it would have to be on your "honour" deal but betting most or hoping most would abide that

Yes, I will be playing a regular Generated Campaign game. When I get to the deploy part for each battle, I save the game and then I play the first 8-10 turns (saving in other slots so as to not overwrite the first saved file) so I see what I (and the players) will be facing. With that extra "Intel" from those 8-10 turns I then write up a mission briefing, and maybe a map overlay, and send the earlier save game file to all the players. When you open it, you will go straight to the deploy phase (the map, Victory Hexes, etc will have already been set) and all you can do is deploy your forces and then play the battle.

One thing though, if I get stomped the campaign may end early.
