10 10/23/2025 1:32:00 PM Turn 1 Leon DeMasi Message Art accepts my bid of 12 to play the Allies. Mark down 12 supply for the Germans please.

9 10/23/2025 9:02:00 AM Turn 1 Leon DeMasi Message Actually, what I meant was that if you want the Allies that badly you can have them for 13 (my next bid would be 12).

So that's really the question: do you want the Allies for 13 or do I? Given you started the bidding, you should get the choice. 13 is normally the amount I stop at for Allies.

I apologize for not being clear.

8 10/23/2025 8:56:00 AM Turn 1 Art Dohrman Message it seems you're saying your bid is 13 for the Allies. If I understand that correctly, I'll accept your bid of 13 and I will take the Germans with 13 supply banked. Go ahead with your invasion turn.
If I misunderstand what you're saying we should talk more.
But I'm not available until Monday morning regardless, heading out on my trip in 20 minutes.

7 10/23/2025 8:40:00 AM Turn 1 Leon DeMasi Message How determined are you to play the Allies? Serious question because they're my preferred side. I'm prepared to go up to 13 myself. But if you want them that badly, you can have them for a bid of 13.

6 10/23/2025 6:58:00 AM Turn 1 Art Dohrman Message I will up the bid to 11

5 10/22/2025 11:30:00 PM Turn 1 Leon DeMasi Message Just 5? I'll bid 8 to play as the Allies.

4 10/22/2025 9:55:00 PM Turn 1 Art Dohrman Message I would like to play the Allies aka US-BR and I will offer 5 SP for the privilege.

3 10/22/2025 10:01:00 AM Turn 1 BKN PBEM Message Art bids first

2 10/21/2025 3:54:00 PM Turn 1 Art Dohrman Message Hi Leon, we meet again on the beaches of Normandy (cardboard version).
I'm not sure who's supposed to bid first; let me know if it's supposed to be me.

Schedule: I will be out of town and with minimal internet access/zero gaming access Nov 22-Dec 16, so we may not be able to meet Kevin's specific intermediate dates. However, looking back at my records, I generally finish BKN games in 6 to 8 weeks, so I fully expect to meet the overall end date with room to spare. I generally respond to moves within a day.

Nearer term, I have a 4 day camping trip this weekend which may impact the bidding process.

1 10/20/2025 10:41:00 PM Turn 1 BKN PBEM Message Round 1 Operational Plan
To catch up on a delayed game, increase your daily moves or arrange a time with your opponent
for a pseudo-live session to play multiple impulses. The objective is for players to move
consistently and meet or exceed the logistics deadlines, allowing for a successful game
completion without rushing through later turns or risking adjudication.

High level target: playing on the 8th by Thanksgiving and playing on the 10th by New Years.

Round 1 Game Pace Logistical Targets
Bidding for Sides - Sun Oct 26th (5 days)
D-Day completed - Wed Oct 29th (3 days)
6th completed - Sun Nov 9th (11 days)
7th completed - Wed Nov 26th (17 days)
8th completed - Sun Dec 14th (18 days)
9th completed - Wed Dec 31th (17 days)
10th completed - Sun Jan 18th (18 days)
11th completed - Wed Feb 4th (17 days)
12th completed - Tue Feb 22nd (18 days)

** Round 1 Drop Dead adjudication date is Midnight Sat. Feb 28th **
IMPORTANT - Being a Tournament, remember to follow specific ordering of D-Day Phases:
21.2: Airborne Phase
Free bridge seizures and any para assaults in any order

21.3: Naval Bombardments
Allied player must indicate beach and target with each roll, in any order

21.4: Air Bombardments
Allied player must indicate both areas and targets *before* rolling one

21.5: Amphibious Assaults
Allied player has to assign all 5 landing groups *before* rolls
Allied player can then roll for all interdiction
Wait for German player lead unit only if they mentioned to wait
Allied player then indicates each beach with each assault roll, in any order
Default Internet Die Roll Error Handling Convention
(If another convention is not posted to ACTS prior to drs, use these as the default convention)

* If not specified, Attacker dr(s) are first two, then Defenders dr(s) are the next two

* Too many drs: use the ones, from the top down, you need discarding the rest. Do not re-roll.

* Not enough drs: use the ones you got and send for the rest. Do not re-roll.

* If drs submitted into the wrong ACTS game, discard them and submit the drs into the correct ACTS game

* No response from die roller: Best not to send for a second die roll. Wait about 3 hrs, if the
drs still haven't shown, the original sender will notify the original receiver to send for the
drs. When the receiver is notified he is to roll because of missing drs, and the receiver has
yet to receive those drs, the receiver will send, and at that instant the original senders drs
will not be used, even if they come in.

10	10/23/2025 1:32:00 PM	Turn 1	Leon DeMasi	Message	Art accepts my bid of 12 to play the Allies. Mark down 12 supply for the Germans please.
9	10/23/2025 9:02:00 AM	Turn 1	Leon DeMasi	Message	Actually, what I meant was that if you want the Allies that badly you can have them for 13 (my next bid would be 12). So that's really the question: do you want the Allies for 13 or do I? Given you started the bidding, you should get the choice. 13 is normally the amount I stop at for Allies. I apologize for not being clear.
8	10/23/2025 8:56:00 AM	Turn 1	Art Dohrman	Message	it seems you're saying your bid is 13 for the Allies. If I understand that correctly, I'll accept your bid of 13 and I will take the Germans with 13 supply banked. Go ahead with your invasion turn. If I misunderstand what you're saying we should talk more. But I'm not available until Monday morning regardless, heading out on my trip in 20 minutes.
7	10/23/2025 8:40:00 AM	Turn 1	Leon DeMasi	Message	How determined are you to play the Allies? Serious question because they're my preferred side. I'm prepared to go up to 13 myself. But if you want them that badly, you can have them for a bid of 13.
6	10/23/2025 6:58:00 AM	Turn 1	Art Dohrman	Message	I will up the bid to 11
5	10/22/2025 11:30:00 PM	Turn 1	Leon DeMasi	Message	Just 5? I'll bid 8 to play as the Allies.
4	10/22/2025 9:55:00 PM	Turn 1	Art Dohrman	Message	I would like to play the Allies aka US-BR and I will offer 5 SP for the privilege.
3	10/22/2025 10:01:00 AM	Turn 1	BKN PBEM	Message	Art bids first
2	10/21/2025 3:54:00 PM	Turn 1	Art Dohrman	Message	Hi Leon, we meet again on the beaches of Normandy (cardboard version). I'm not sure who's supposed to bid first; let me know if it's supposed to be me. Schedule: I will be out of town and with minimal internet access/zero gaming access Nov 22-Dec 16, so we may not be able to meet Kevin's specific intermediate dates. However, looking back at my records, I generally finish BKN games in 6 to 8 weeks, so I fully expect to meet the overall end date with room to spare. I generally respond to moves within a day. Nearer term, I have a 4 day camping trip this weekend which may impact the bidding process.
1	10/20/2025 10:41:00 PM	Turn 1	BKN PBEM	Message	Round 1 Operational Plan To catch up on a delayed game, increase your daily moves or arrange a time with your opponent for a pseudo-live session to play multiple impulses. The objective is for players to move consistently and meet or exceed the logistics deadlines, allowing for a successful game completion without rushing through later turns or risking adjudication. High level target: playing on the 8th by Thanksgiving and playing on the 10th by New Years. Round 1 Game Pace Logistical Targets Bidding for Sides - Sun Oct 26th (5 days) D-Day completed - Wed Oct 29th (3 days) 6th completed - Sun Nov 9th (11 days) 7th completed - Wed Nov 26th (17 days) 8th completed - Sun Dec 14th (18 days) 9th completed - Wed Dec 31th (17 days) 10th completed - Sun Jan 18th (18 days) 11th completed - Wed Feb 4th (17 days) 12th completed - Tue Feb 22nd (18 days) Round 1 Drop Dead adjudication date is Midnight Sat. Feb 28th IMPORTANT - Being a Tournament, remember to follow specific ordering of D-Day Phases: 21.2: Airborne Phase Free bridge seizures and any para assaults in any order 21.3: Naval Bombardments Allied player must indicate beach and target with each roll, in any order 21.4: Air Bombardments Allied player must indicate both areas and targets before rolling one 21.5: Amphibious Assaults Allied player has to assign all 5 landing groups before rolls Allied player can then roll for all interdiction Wait for German player lead unit only if they mentioned to wait Allied player then indicates each beach with each assault roll, in any order Default Internet Die Roll Error Handling Convention (If another convention is not posted to ACTS prior to drs, use these as the default convention) * If not specified, Attacker dr(s) are first two, then Defenders dr(s) are the next two * Too many drs: use the ones, from the top down, you need discarding the rest. Do not re-roll. * Not enough drs: use the ones you got and send for the rest. Do not re-roll. * If drs submitted into the wrong ACTS game, discard them and submit the drs into the correct ACTS game * No response from die roller: Best not to send for a second die roll. Wait about 3 hrs, if the drs still haven't shown, the original sender will notify the original receiver to send for the drs. When the receiver is notified he is to roll because of missing drs, and the receiver has yet to receive those drs, the receiver will send, and at that instant the original senders drs will not be used, even if they come in.
