swbfthepusher drew this up, we're going to gather more data on the limitations of console, but for now this is the tentative ruleset.

I personally have a dedicated VPS (based in NY) that supports BF1 SWBFspy, an online solution that does require replacement of 1.2 exe (or a hosts file edit). I can setup servers when people intend to do runs and share the password, as long as I have some advance notice. It also supports dedicated PS2 servers with some workaround on the PS2, and we are investigating how best to integrate with Xlink Kai on Xbox.

FOR BB: Also, we want sides integration somehow to the IL maps.

We talked about this a while ago, but here is the reinforcements bonus working. Run was done on PC 1.2, and I'm sure it works on 1.0/console as well, just maybe not consistently. Edit: The nubs are the Republic who wasted time with that bonus when I was clearly winning. I meant no insult to anyone but it comes off that way. Sorry!

If anyone would be interested... There is a possibility, however slight, that this strat could become relevant. If you exit a battle in GC, you lose. However, this could be used to your advantage. I timed it and on PC it takes about a minute to execute a join and then quit and start a map that the AI selects. The reason this could be viable is that you still only have to win 8 maps. You would then get to use the home bonus a second time. Example: if i owned tatooine as my only planet, i could lose the first battle. Depending on my routing, I might want to play on dune sea rather than Kashyyyk Docks. If i can finish DS more than a minute faster, then the route is viable. I get to skip a whole planet and Docks then. This could be used twice (probably want at the start because RNG), but then you need to skip a whole planet. You still only have to win 8 maps but need to save over two minutes then. If there are particularly bad planets for a certain side, its something to consider.
