Here's a possible setup for the proposed scrim. Note that this is not a scrim signup thread, and this post is NOT a scrim announcement. Rather, it is simply gauging interest.

Players: 16v16 (Total of 32. Duh.)

Maps: 16 player versions of Dalian Plant, Gulf of Oman and Mashtuur City

Version: Tactical Mod 0.3

The role of the CO will most probably be as an information gathering position. He or she will also provide general direction to the squads, but as no assets bar supply drops are available, will have to rely on recon by the players in order to build up a picture of the battlefield.

The role of squad-leader is vastly different in the Tactical Mod than Vanilla BF2. Vanilla BF2 is about reaching an objective as fast as possible, where as the Tactical Mod focuses more on careful and safe maneuvering, and creative thinking in operations. As a result, it is possible to be a fairly average leader in the original version, but really shine in the mod. SLs must be prepared to use all aspects of the terrain, and respond dynamically to enemy movements via well-executed tactics.

No restrictions will be placed on use of vehicles in these games, particularly as the 16-player maps do not feature aircraft beyond helicopters.

Opening strategies would be prepared ahead of time and PMed to the relevant players. However, far more important would be a player's familiarity with the map and terrain.

Teams would not be formed of in-house divisions, but these divisions may opt to be in the same squads. Other players who sign up would be assigned to a squad by the COs of each map.

Possible date: Some time before January, due to the absence of any other scrims.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

So I might as well kick this off:

Munchkin, interested in SLing. Nice post munchkin, good idea. I'd give you some +rep, but...ya know how it goes.
