Dave H Posted May 25, 2002 Share Posted May 25, 2002 Originally posted by Panzerman: ..... Lets put it this way, in our battles you wont see ten Jagdtigers vs. five Stuarts. As for snowstorms and pre-shaken conscripts I don't see much of that... but then we like to keep our battles realistic... Please don't misunderstand my comments. I much prefer a realistic scenario to a wild free for all. I also don't mind unbalanced scenarios. Actually the issue of "balance" has been one of my pet peeves about wargaming for several decades. Throughout history there have been very, very few "balanced" wars, or battles, or skirmishes. Invariably one side has some advantage over the opposition. Many times each side has both advantages and disadvantages. Tactics is how you maximize your advantages and minimize your disadvantages. So bring on the scenarios, with the possibility of running into anything. And ask SuperTed if he doesn't remember his scenario with the snow and the shaken old timers. Oh, that was one whole platoon of shaken old timers in the set-up! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, that was one whole platoon of shaken old timers in the set-up! Dave, Hey, quit picking on the old farts! They did fine when I used them. As a matter of fact, I remember their counterattack going quite well when the scenario finally ended. :cool: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austrian Strategist Posted May 25, 2002 Share Posted May 25, 2002 Lets put it this way, in our battles you wont see ten Jagdtigers vs. five Stuarts... Eh, but does that mean we get no choice of forces at all? Even in real life, over time, a commander would probably drift toward the kind of force he is comfortable with.

SleeStac Posted May 28, 2002 Share Posted May 28, 2002 I would like to thank Cpl Carrot, The Scenario Zone, and the other members of the CM community that are taking time and putting forward the effort to make this Tournament occur! This is really Exciting! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pzman Posted May 28, 2002 Share Posted May 28, 2002 Well, a report on the scenarios will be sent to Cpl Carrot and just to let you all know, we are about half done the battles for the for the first round of the tournament. In other words they are coming long well. Thanks for your kind words SleeStac. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpl Carrot Posted May 28, 2002 Author Share Posted May 28, 2002 As Panzerman said, the battles seem to be coming along and will hopefully be ready for a kick off on the 10th of June. As someone probably said "Good things take time". There is still space for people to join. If you are not sure if you qualify as a newbie email me and ask. I'll soon let you know. Enrollment will close on 3 days before the start of the tourny (so around the 7th fingers crossed) During these three days I will be emailing you to confirm your opponents and that I have your correct email address. The opponent list will also be posted here. That is all Cpl Carrot Ps please please please note these dates are not repeat not set in stone. They are, at this stage, my best guess, so go easy on me if they change. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Pilot Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 How goes the enrollment? Just curious, Ace 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpl Carrot Posted June 1, 2002 Author Share Posted June 1, 2002 Enrollment is progressing nicely. More room yet for anyone wanting to join. (The above implies that there is enough people enrolled for 2 tournies) Cpl Carrot 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormin Norman Posted June 2, 2002 Share Posted June 2, 2002 I want to second Sleestac's gratitude. I know it's a huge amount of work the organizers are puttin into the tournament. I hope they are able to gleam some enjoyment out of watching us newbs shoot, stab, crush, poke, and verbaly insult one another 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpl Carrot Posted June 2, 2002 Author Share Posted June 2, 2002 SN: You can do any of what you said except the verbal abuse. That is a big no-no in this tourny. It is even in the rules Cpl Carrot 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cpl Carrot Posted June 7, 2002 Author Share Posted June 7, 2002 A bump to bring this out of the wilderness and to say I have room for 2 more people only. In fact two more people would make things easier on me. So what are you waiting for Cpl Carrot 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to battle you all Joe I have not recieved anything from you, unless it was under a different name. Send again if you are still wanting to play. In related news I have enough players to form three seperate tournys. Anyone signing on from now on will become replacements for anyone dropping out for whatever reasons. If you are a replacement - don't worry, I will make sure you have some game time (against other replacements if need be). Later today (or tomorrow) I will post the draw of who plays who.
