First off this isn't an entire scenario but an objective set for the D-Day night game. The Americans would have 13 men dropped behind lines that have special objectives, based off the movie. This would allow for a little extra confusion to the mass confusion that is a night game and maybe tie up the krauts long enough for the 82nd and 101st airborne to get a toehold at the night game. If the special troops complete their objectives the American's get a bonus at the D-Day landings or something like that maybe specific for the night game, vice versa for the krauts

You do realise that the last d-day night game had over 300 people? You wanna do 300 vs 13?

Whats the fun in even numbers and not 300vs 13 but have the 13 be a separate branch of the American landing forces, just they get dropped behind lines and are head shot only or something. More of a special forces thing here no different then what we have done in the past scenarios. Kind of like Red Dawn's Wolverines mobile spawn point, hand picked and dropped behind lines for special objectives.

first off, the night game, fun as it is, is a total cluster fu@k. To even think of using headshot only willl simply create a cluster fu@k with fight breaking out. Im not dealing with that on no sleep. Head shot only for night game DENIED.

I fail to see what's wrong with this idea. They do this at Oklahoma D-Day. Pathfinders are "dropped" in advance of the rest of the airborne units, and have the job of securing a decent LZ. And that's a game that several thousand people participate in.
Basically, why not have 10-20 guys drop in about 20 minutes before the rest of the airborne? They could be responsible for securing an LZ, disrupting a comm station, or anything. Seriously though, I shouldn't have to write this, because that's basically what he's suggesting. He's not suggesting an entire scenario that would be 13 vs 300. He's suggesting that a few dozen guys be dropped off first, and they use stealth to complete some early objectives. I don't get how the rest of you missed that...

I think elements of it are worth considering. I have some reservations about sending a small number of players out into a darkened field by themselves. Last year we attempted to keep most of the action centralized and upfront in the event there were any issues (like someone slicing his hand down to the tendons). I'll think it over and see if there's a way to safely adapt it other than assigning the role to people we don't like in the hopes they don't return. ;)
Thanks for the suggestion!

During the day game...Good point Jager.
Still though, he's not advocating an entire 13 vs 300 scenario, just a brief part of the scenario being a few guys dropped in ahead of time. |

Personally, i think its a good idea. It gives the game an even more realistic possibility and a completely different atmosphere. The beach defenders dont just have to worry about head on attack, but attack from behind too. This should keep everyone on their heals

@-ARES- Bowman is referring to the use of this idea as a feature during the night game (not a bad idea in my opinion, certainly worth the producers considering as T.G.E. stated). As for Americans being dropped behind enemy lines for the day game: Airborne was used at the start of the day game the first year... Mike quickly found out that it was a tool that needed to be removed from the American arsenal as they crushed the German beach defense from behind. The only thing the Germans should have to worry about during that first phase is beach defense, but even then it still isn't enough to hold back the great U.S. of A.
EDIT: *Disclaimer* My pseudo-support of the idea does not mean I volunteer to be one of those to be dropped in the middle of the woods in the pitch black. Edited by ger - Mar/16/2011 at 1:21pm |

Fixed. Love ya, Joes!Yes, Ares is right. The airborne messed up a perfectly good beach landing during the day game two years ago, so that option is out. But doing something where there's a covert drop at night is still something that I'm pondering. |

"Messed Up" doesn't quite cover the epicness of what occured that day.

Even the use of "crushed" is inadequate for what happened. |
