Photos from the Day - 3 April 2004
LXXXVI Corps HQ is holding together a rapidly disintegrating situation.
The Corps Commander (veteran megagamer, Ludwig van Schoor, left)
listens carefully to the reporting from his Team Controller (Chris-Jan
Groos, 2nd from right).
LXXXVIII Corps HQ - the team is pondering on their next move - counter
attack or retreat?
The Air Controller (Frank vd Bergh, centre) and the Team Controller for
1 Allied AB Corps (Dick Bax, back, left) report back to the Allied Air
Forces HQ on the state of the air transport.
Guards Armoured Division commander (Rene vd Assem) listens intently for
some good news from his Team Controller (Hans Goosen). Have they broken
through, or haven't they?
Back the the Master Control Map - Team Controllers comparing notes and
updating the next turn. Each game turn took only half an hour - including
processing results, reporting back, and players writing orders for the
next turn. This makes for an intense and exciting game for players - and
requires huge effort by the Control Team. On the day it worked, every
turn was on time - and the pace was maintained for a solid 6 hours with
no breaks. Everyone felt like they had fought a battle by the end!
