Round 4 Operational Plan

Strategic Goal
--------------
The overall tournament goal for players is to complete games in a timely manner,
moving regularly to hit the target dates when possible, or sooner. If your
game is falling behind please perform more moves in a day and/or set a time
with your opponent to perform multiple impulses pseudo-live to get back on track.

Command and control
-------------------
For clarity, the ACTS log is the single source of record for all matches.
Posted ACTS impulses will trump anything unmentioned and marked in vassal,
using common sense and sportsmenship to reach stated AV:DV's if a unit
was accidentally unmentioned and followup confirmed in ACTS that impulse.

Exception: Refits and regroups can use just vassal if both players agree.

Overwatch
---------
Remember to email your vassal .vsav file of the first impulse of the day,
or cc: all .vsav files if that is easier, to bknpbem@gmail.com so .png's of
game progress can be posted to the website and assist with the GM writeups.

Tactical
--------
Lastly, remember to notify your opponent of the end of your impulse. A simple
"your #" is the most concise post to end your impulse and indicate the next impulse #.

Rules of Engagement, Remember Order 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 first
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

Geneva Default Internet Die Roll Error Handling Convention
----------------------------------------------------------
If another method is not posted to ACTS prior to drs, use these default conventions:

* Too many drs: use the ones, from the top down, 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 the drs were submitted into the wrong ACTS game, discard them and re-roll the
drs into the correct ACTS game

* Multiple die roll requests: Use the drs the receiver got first.

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

* If one gamer gets die rolls and the other doesn't and the email addresses were
fine : use those dr's. Whoever got the dr's should forward them to the other gamer
so he may inspect the email addresses, and if all is OK, use those drs.

* 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, at that instant the original sender drs will not be used, even if they arrive.

1	9/26/2026 11:35:00 AM	Turn 1	BKN PBEM	Message	Round 4 Operational Plan Strategic Goal -------------- The overall tournament goal for players is to complete games in a timely manner, moving regularly to hit the target dates when possible, or sooner. If your game is falling behind please perform more moves in a day and/or set a time with your opponent to perform multiple impulses pseudo-live to get back on track. Command and control ------------------- For clarity, the ACTS log is the single source of record for all matches. Posted ACTS impulses will trump anything unmentioned and marked in vassal, using common sense and sportsmenship to reach stated AV:DV's if a unit was accidentally unmentioned and followup confirmed in ACTS that impulse. Exception: Refits and regroups can use just vassal if both players agree. Overwatch --------- Remember to email your vassal .vsav file of the first impulse of the day, or cc: all .vsav files if that is easier, to bknpbem@gmail.com so .png's of game progress can be posted to the website and assist with the GM writeups. Tactical -------- Lastly, remember to notify your opponent of the end of your impulse. A simple "your #" is the most concise post to end your impulse and indicate the next impulse #. Rules of Engagement, Remember Order 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 first 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 Geneva Default Internet Die Roll Error Handling Convention ---------------------------------------------------------- If another method is not posted to ACTS prior to drs, use these default conventions: * Too many drs: use the ones, from the top down, 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 the drs were submitted into the wrong ACTS game, discard them and re-roll the drs into the correct ACTS game * Multiple die roll requests: Use the drs the receiver got first. * If not specified, Attacker dr(s) are first two, then Defenders dr(s) are next two * If one gamer gets die rolls and the other doesn't and the email addresses were fine : use those dr's. Whoever got the dr's should forward them to the other gamer so he may inspect the email addresses, and if all is OK, use those drs. * 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, at that instant the original sender drs will not be used, even if they arrive.
