Traject0ry Posted July 22, 2002 Author Share Posted July 22, 2002 People are pouring in to the reserves and I am starting to entertain thought of yet another FK&C. Before launching it I need to know if people are actually playing or need to be replaced. You know how to contact me if people do not return your mails... -T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have received mail from all four opponents and setups from three. And yes I do not have anything to say really, just informing TraCtory that everything is going so far well for A2 Keltainen...I mean Allied A2. -23 ItK 61 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I hope they enjoy the games. There was a mix up with posting the set ups. I'm sure it got to the right track after some mailing and replying. Just to make it clear: All FK&C I guys (marked with [?1] as in "Allied A1" or "Axis Y1") will play four games. Each one being a different scenario AND against a different opponent! Thus Allied A1 will play against all four Axis players marked with "1" but NOT against Axis players in FK&C II marked with "2"s. If further mixups appear I'll send a personalized message for each player to clear this out. Luckily most got it just right with their first attempts. -T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conscript Bagger Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 Woo hoo - two games already underway and two setups received this weekend. Will try to respond to all after work tonight. Thanks again to TrajectOry for being the "guy behind the guy behind the guy." Allied C1 a.k.a. ezp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet I'm confident enough to produce these scenarios (Briefings are all my doing as "the team" agreed that they should be SHORT and ... can't tell you yet, can I?) and receive all the flames from all the throwers you guys can carry. Still I WOULD really much like to hear what you guys actually think about the scenarios.

Imagine his bitter tears of disappointment as he lost that critical War-Elephant while I only lost three tanks in return (or was it four? a small detail). Face it Sripe - it's the arithmetic of the frontier. Defeat is staring you in the face. At this exchange rate you will soon run out of ammo as the smoke from my burning hulks blinds your gunners' eyes. The keystrokes you are groping for through the hurt and disapointment is Alt-U. And the other three of you will soon face the lash of my tactical genius as well. Mo ho ho ho ho...

Conscript Bagger Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 Don't read my post as snappish - it wasn't meant to be. Just pointing out that since this thread is the main source of info for the tournament, I intend to read it regularly, and it stands to reason that my opponents won't want elements of their OBs posted here. Thanks for the edit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traject0ry Posted July 23, 2002 Author Share Posted July 23, 2002 Tee hee, looks like you lads are getting the hang of it. No strength in me to comment all the brilliant posts as they have actually started to pour in. Good thing to have spoiler alarm switched on though Remember lads. Your efforts are not compared to those of your opponents. When it comes to scoring all Allied players (and Axis similarly...) will add up their scores. The lad with the mightiest score to show (around 11 in FK&C and near 10054 in LFHB ) from the Allied players (and Axis once again) will continue to the final challenge. As we shall have three Allied and three Axis players in the finals (FK&C I, FK&C II and LFHB) these will engage in three 4D (Death at Dawn Death by Dusk) scenarios (I'm the only one in the whole world providing 4D scenarios, enjoy the holograms ) which will determine the final winners - ONE Axis AND ONE Allied. Thus having your face kicked in is not that bad (in the tournament, in RW it hurts quite a bit) - as long as the other guys are getting whacked up worse than you! Enjoy the ride. -T [edited as I added the scoring rant here instead of making yet another post...] [ July 23, 2002, 07:04 AM: Message edited by: Traject0ry ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I sent "Just to let you know. I will be sending my first turn to you by this weekend to kick this game off" If you want some taunting. I can give you some taunting.

Guest Mike Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 Ozzy Marko is a bit of a taunt free zone really - I mean he atually uses tactics like running away behind smoke when he only outnumbers you 3:1, scouting and other groggish wastes of time. I think he forgets that the games are only 25 turns long and expects to win because we, his opponents, will all have died of old age before we get to "kill" any of his pixellated little men. But appart from that he seems like a nice bloke! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
