1 10/20/2025 10:50:00 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.
