Maniacal_cackle Posted February 5, 2021 Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 With the app's attacker/defender assignment broken in the app, it is a bit tricky to get attacker/defender assignments (since you have to coordinate a time to hop into Vassal to do the flip). This in turn makes crew selection a bit tricky. If possible, it'd be great if Bag o' Tools did the assignment for us. I don't know if the functionality is there, but thought I'd mention it. It'd be super easy in an excel sheet, of course, but then that doesn't track all the other stuff. If it's not doable, oh well! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcathous Posted February 5, 2021 Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 It's something that has been discussed, but we haven't implemented yet. I think the biggest hurdle is making sure everyone gets the memo. Anyone else into this idea? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If implemented, I reckon it should definitely be done at the start of a month (i.e. March), and not started halfway through a month. Adding a bullet point (or even a bolded bullet point) to the next announcement could help with that side? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maniacal_cackle Posted February 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 Well, with 5 agree reacts, this is one of my more popular posts, so maybe that constitutes a lot? I dunno xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you keep changing your mind it can swap it around mid-prep. But I'm not sure! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grim_stoki Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 I'm in favor of this. Per GG1, the player with the higher standing should be the attacker, except rd. 1 where it is random. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Higgybeans Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 A simple solution would be in the pairings, the player on the left is the attacker, the right is the defender? That's commonly used in other wargame tournaments I've been in! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah thats basically what is done at tourneys, although think maybe one on left is defender as usually higher so defending their position. Ita certainly one way of doing it either way 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
