EDIT : as things changed here the name also changed to GaWIn an attempt to generate some MP games NBC have launched this, full information can be found on the NBC forum, it has it's own forum there.
SBs are a series of
six MP battles for any number of Commanders on each side with each battle being larger than the previous one, there is no connection between the battles, this is
not a “Campaign”.
The first SBs will use CONCSRIPT mode, this will be reviewed in future SBs as we all gain experience using LG. It may well be that Regular or Grognard mode will be used in later SBs.
Battles will be approximate CEH 50,100,150,200,250 and 300 strength in size with
random OOBs fixed before the start. Anyone who is a game host MUST download these OOBs before they host a game.
Randon CEH 50 OOB example :
The six maps will be used in this order : 1. Hanau
2. Haslach
3. Borodino
4. Montebello
5. La Rothière
6. Ratisbone
In future we may have different maps, with a standard length of battle, perhaps about 8 hours fighting time, to allow plenty of time to get a winning result.
Plans are to
start on Monday 5th April 2010 to allow time for the full game release to the general public and lots of MP practice - before battle commences.
