Are there any OCS players in the vicinity of Birmingham (UK)? I know a couple of newbies, but I'm looking for a more experienced opponent.

Rui, what Anthony says ! The CSW ,OCS forum is excellent.

psicoserra, 

I would recommend the CSW forum on OCS. You will probably get a quicker response there.

Hi guys

I am reading the OCS rules 4.1. and I will start with Burma. 

Can I post in here my doubts regarding the rules or in a specific forum?

Hope you can help me...

Best

My Axis opponent and I have spent some time mulling over widespread winter effects in our current CB/GBII/EatG-with-the-crusts-cut-off game (now in mid-November 1941) and we have kind of taken a mallet to the RAW.

As far as winter movement goes, we certainly felt there ought to be some effect to replicate physical snowfall and the problems of running vehicles in sub-zero temperatures, plus shorter days and the tendency for troops to be reluctant to leave shelter and break a trail to new positions and the physical strain this imposes. 

One basis for this reasoning was a small aside I spotted in the design notes from an early edition of OCS (~v2?) where it was mentioned that a 2/3 of printed movement penalty would be about right, but because everyone is affected equally, just give a bonus to ski troops and leave it as it is.

But to have panzertruppen gaily skipping about the map in mid-winter just seems ludicrous. That, in this humble writer's opinion, drifts a little too far to the wrong side on the playability vs. simulation scale.

So for now we're just using a modified TEC, which adds new values for moderate and deep snow, just as there are two levels of mud. That would seem simple enough, but I'm not certain we've got the numbers quite right for a couple of points (like should foot movement in deep snow be 2MP or 3MP). We'll see how it goes shortly.

Stay tuned for more heresy on the combat side of things.

The winter movement (freeze, deep freeze) rates are the only house rules I actually might use. Summer movement rates in December and January outside Moscow in 1941 seemed really wrong last time I played.

I normally prefer to play by the RAW but................................

Check out the OCS forum on at Consimworld forums for some house rules.  We are doing the GBII/CB full campaign game on Vassel.  Some of our house rules are only Ju87 and Ju88 aircraft can hip shoot, using the revised supply rules and separate supply throws for the two games, rail transfers between the games count on both rail capacities, mech movement cut by 25% in moderate freeze and 50% in deep freeze.

Stephane,  My email did not get along with your @free.fr provider.  It kept bouncing it as spam.  I'll try another email to reach you to continue th DAK  OCS  game. Bruce Chamberlain b.chamberlain@snet.net
