No Medics! 5 man insertion will discourage cheating and creat squad like teams of 5 that can report back for orders.
Small missions can be carried on all night if weather and Refs permit.

i think we should play till the refs call it it also depends on how many people are playing also no for medics and no for demo also thumper james said he will probably make it so it will be me for sure and maybe james

GREAT! -- also Cartoon Wars will run till the refs call it - with a guideline "we will keep playing sat night as long as at least 20 players per side are on the field."

no medics
maybe demo some minimal demo.

From what I've seen, demo becomes a crutch. Games come down to sneaking up to a location and nuking it then moving in your men and repairing it. If Thumper does include demolitions, I hope they are very rare. Perhaps a demo is awarded for completing a difficult mission.

Medics in my opinion encourage cheating. All of the guys I know who have played for 10yrs plus tend to lean away from medics as I do. They worked pretty well at Free Final, but have never worked well at TriggerTyme or Waynes World. PBC did away with them I think.

Medics are a relatively new idea that has some bad side effects - is anyone is in favor of medics speak up. If anyone is in favor of no medics speak up. I did include one of PBCs killer rules for the 5 man minimum insertion rules to help compinsate.

I agree with you. The five man insertion rule should compensate for medics.

That only leave demo cards. I could see working them into a few missions, but not used as a regular prop. Thoughts? Down at waynes world one of Waynes local teams actually was printing their own cards for special purposes. Jackie caught them, but it did effect the game and put a black eye on eth whole "special cards" idea.

I can see demo as part of some missions, but otherwide excluded.

I agree with you concerning LAW rockets and demolition charges. Ruins the game. Players simply move to a location, nuke it then move in and repair it. Makes it nearly impossible to defend a postion.

LAW rockets or Satchel Charges should be very rare if included at all. Perhaps make them a reward for a mission. They should be so rare that they are saved for a special mission. If any team gets more than two or three demos per scenario then that's too much.

The problem with all night play from what I've seen is that usually only one team can keep a decent number of players going all night. If you go with Ref Call, you must make sure the teams remain somewhat even while night play is going on.

Personally, I prefer stand down at a predetermined time. That way, when people know there is a definate stand down time, they will keep going until stand down. Keeps the teams more even.

Well the thing that we usually have is a team wich is a balancer so.. at night theres 50 reds and 20 blues the balancer of 20-25 will go in and take blues side.

[fronter]

night time is not fun. going with no medics and 5 man. i like the idea. keep the game as competitive as possible.

[OvErShOt]

night time is really pointless but it does give the other base a chance to rack up some points..
