Treeburst155 Posted December 26, 2001 Share Posted December 26, 2001 It is VERY possible I will need several officers to replace their fallen comrades at the front in the Wild Bill Tourney, the Nordic Championship, and the Nordic Wannabee Tournament. Your task will be daunting. You will immediately take up anywhere from five to seven PBEM battles. You will take command at the point your predecessor was killed, captured, or determined to be MIA. In most cases this is about 1/4 into the battle. Do you have what it takes to assume command in the heat of combat? The ideal candidate will have a nice chunk of time he can devote to CM PBEM each day. Anybody can volunteer for combat duty. Newbies are welcome. If you are interested post here. Be sure you provide a valid email address if your profile does not include same. Before you volunteer for combat duty ask yourself if you have the time to process one turn per day for each of FIVE battles. This is a rather large commitment. Think about it first, please. If you have what it takes (TIME), post here. Volunteers will be accepted in the order of their post to this thread. Do not email me or you will not get your "number". You will be transported to your line unit within 48 hours, after a full briefing by me. Take this opportunity to go where the Iron Crosses grow!! Treeburst155 out.

Michael Dorosh Posted December 26, 2001 Share Posted December 26, 2001 So is the invitational officially dead in the water? Sorry I haven't been able to update my stie with scores - my free server pulled the plug and I am scrambling to find alternatives - the sites are still there, but they don't allow FTP which is a real pain.

Treeburst155 Posted December 26, 2001 Author Share Posted December 26, 2001 Hi Michael, No, the Invitational is not dead in the water. There are ten people still involved and several games going on right now. It does move at a very slow pace however. This "no hurry" feature was a part of the tourney description. Players have passed the halfway point on average, with several very near finishing. The prize for the Invitational is some of WineCape's best wines. At least one has won a major award. It's about time for me to write to players to assess their plans regarding the Invitational. I think a few may have gone completely inactive. I'm a little surprised at this because of the nice prize and the zero time pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xerxes Posted December 26, 2001 Share Posted December 26, 2001 Taking over 1/4 of the way through sounds truely challenging. I'll give it a go. - marc vmclz@swbell.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a1steaks Posted December 26, 2001 Share Posted December 26, 2001 I'm already in the Nordic Wannabee Tourney, but if you need someone for any other tournaments let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treeburst155 Posted December 26, 2001 Author Share Posted December 26, 2001 Xerxes, My second confirmed opening is yours. I'm giving the MIAs until late this evening (GMT -6)to respond to emails I've sent them. However, I'm almost positive I will be able to transfer you to the front shortly. I'll be in touch. Thanks!! A1steaks, You are only eligible to play in the Wild Bill tournament since the Nordic Championship is identical to the tourney you are in. I'll call you up if I don't get enough response here. Thanks for volunteering!! Treeburst155 out. [ 12-26-2001: Message edited by: Treeburst155 ]</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibsonm Posted December 26, 2001 Share Posted December 26, 2001 Treeburst 155, Herr Oberst my Kampfgruppe is at your disposal! Or is this more a case of myself and my trusty .45 / Webley arriving at the CP as the forward pits are overun? Either way count me in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treeburst155 Posted December 26, 2001 Author Share Posted December 26, 2001 gibsonm, It is more likely that you and your side arm will arrive at an embattled CP. Try to scrounge up a Thompson with plenty of ammo and write a letter to your Mom. Chances are you will be going to the hottest part of the front very soon. Thanks for volunteering!! Treeburst155 out.

Bertram Posted December 26, 2001 Share Posted December 26, 2001 Treeburst, I just finished another game at the ROW. 4 down, 3 to go, and coming fast (except the Ted thing). If you need volunteers for the Nordic tournament, I am game. I have plenty of time these two weeks, after that I am limited to 4 or 5 turns a week.

Treeburst155 Posted December 26, 2001 Author Share Posted December 26, 2001 Bertram, I'll put you on the list with a1Steaks of current tourney participants who are willing to fill in if need be. I've got three people now. That MAY be enough, but you never know what the next couple weeks may bring. Thanks for volunteering. Treeburst155 out.

Treeburst155 Posted December 26, 2001 Author Share Posted December 26, 2001 pixelmaster, You're number four on the list. I may not need that many, but I will let you know one way or the other within 48 hours. If I don't have an opening you will be high on the list for future openings if you so desire. Thanks for volunteering for combat duty!! Treeburst155 out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGT_Gold Posted December 27, 2001 Share Posted December 27, 2001 I'm currently playing in the Nordic Wanabee tournament but I can fill in for either of the other tournaments. Count me in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchy Posted December 27, 2001 Share Posted December 27, 2001 I'll give it a shot. However, my job requires I go out of town and i will be gone the following dates (Jan 5 - 7, Jan 13 - 17 and Jan 19 - 21) If this is ok with you then I'll do it. Just let me know.

Treeburst155 Posted December 27, 2001 Author Share Posted December 27, 2001 Sgt. Gold, I'll put you on the list with a1Steaks and Bertram. You are only eligible for the Wild Bill tournament, like a1Steaks. Thanks for volunteering. Frenchy, Unless you can keep up quite a turnaround rate when you're home, the eleven days you will be gone in January could slow you down too much. I'll put you on the list, but you might want to think about it some more. Thanks for volunteering for combat duty. To all, I think I have enough volunteers at this point. Feel free to post if you would like to be on the replacement list however. Who knows what the future holds. I will be preparing transfer orders (to the front) for some of you later tonight. All leaves and R&R are cancelled until that time. Treeburst155 out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gibsonm Posted December 27, 2001 Share Posted December 27, 2001 TB155, Wilko. Where do I draw my cold weather kit from for the Nordic Theatre or do I scrounge it off the dead guy I'm replacing? At least I'll get acclimatised for CMBB! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
