MP Scenario1: The attack on Iuka (5th may)

[Leffe7]

The Attack on Iuka

A fictional multiplayer scenario for 9-12 players.
Scenario length: 150 minutes
HITS and courier gameplay as usual



Trailer: General Armstrongs cavalry has successfully intercepted many union supply trains and brought the union advance in the Mississippi area to a standstill. After some weeks the union command found out that Armstrong is operating from the small and otherwise unimportant town of Iuka. And so General Grant has given orders to attack Iuka!

The available positions are:

CSA [5 players minimum]
1 CinC
1 Cavalry Commander
1 Division Commander
+ Brigade Commanders

USA [4 players minimum]
1 CinC
1 Cavalry Commander
2 Division Commanders
+ Brigade Commanders

• The CinC (Commander in Chief) will be tasked to develop a strategy and write battle orders some days before game launch.
  
• 1 week before the game: If there are roughly enough players, I will assign all committed players to teams, appoint the chief commanders, and then send the initial briefing to players by e-mail. CinC begin to write their orders and assign players of their team to available slots. Additional players may still join the game up to 3 days before the game start.
  
• 3 days before (=2nd may): Players receive their orders by their CinC. If there aren't enough players committed to meet the minimum requirements, the game will be cancelled.
  
• 30 minutes before game start: meeting in the K/S teamspeak lobby - strategy discussion and questions

It looks like Saturday, 5th may, 1930 UK time will be the date for the next run of "The attack on Iuka". I will appoint the CinCs later this weekend.

There are still open slots if anyone wants to join...

[Leffe7]

Ok, the initial briefings have been sent to those players already registered.
Martin J. will lead the Confederates, while MTG is in command of the US attack force.

More players are very welcome to register: http://www.doodle.com/ba4wa6ygztch3wuk

Right Khryses. That last post seems to eminently qualify you for command of the Confederate cavalry. I will be in touch (he says darkly).

I owe the reb cav a little payback myself , the commander was bent we lost his wagon load of "memories" last saturday.....

[Mr. Digby]

It looks like we have at least 10 players lined up for this - and that doesn't include Jack/Kerflummoxed who I'm sure will take a Reb infantry brigade again. But so far only 3 Union players are discussing the battle plan. Stefan, can you please send us 2 or 3 more officers so we can talk tactics? We could use a commander for Stanley's division plus a couple of infantry brigade commanders.

[Martin]

Yes indeed. The more prisoners the better

Be prepared for a very cloudy day.

[Mr. Digby]

Actually... just a thought... using that logic, if Martin wants all the players to join our side, he can command the Rebs on his own

What? Command 45,000 all on my own? Not likely, Diggers

Why not? If no one signed up for the Union side, I was fully prepared to handle my 63,000 men. Although I will admit, 20 batteries would have been a challenge.

[Mr. Digby]

Then luckily I joined him and took the other 56,000 and the tank division.
