Before anyone responds, I would like to make it clear that Cauldron just started this scenario as part of the Newbie Tournament. I am at a loss to understand how this could be perceived as anything but bald-faced cheating. Would you care to explain, Eric?

The results for A Bridge Too Close have been added to Page 1.

Michael Dorosh has a great idea for a campaign at GD for CM.

More results from the Newbie Rejects: Silvio Manuel (German) defeated DStone (US), 55-30, in Nothing Fancy. Silvio Manuel has jumped out to a 74-49 lead in the round. Congratulations to Silvio Manuel!

McAuliffe, If you re-read my post, you'll see I only group attacking forces. For the defensive side, I always place them for fear of exactly what you mention. Also, I always have a note in the overall briefing that refers to "Best Played As" to help the player. I guess that is the crux of this thread.

To Kill a Bumpingbird

More results from the SuperNewbies: Austin Bowie (German) defeated Vader's Jester (US) by a score of 56-29 in Rabbit's Foot. So, Austin Bowie wins Round 2 with an overall score of 174-62 and advances to Round 3. Congratulations to Austin Bowie!

More results from the SuperNewbies: YankeeDog (US) defeated DL (German) by a score of 91-9 in Rabbit's Foot. (Note: DL surrendered, so this score will not be included when tabulating the average scores.) So, YankeeDog wins Round 2 with an overall score of 159-73 and advances to Round 3. Congratulations to YankeeDog!

More results from the SuperNewbies: Dave H (US) defeated Splash (German), 52-34, in Nothing Fancy. This increases Dave H's lead to 91-45 in the round. Congratulations to Dave H!

The Bumps of Wrath

McAuliffe, Something that has always frustrated me is poorly placed units when I am attacking. I can understand this being the case if an ambush is being simulated. If that is not the case, then I prefer to place my advancing troops where I think they will be most effective. I suspect any real commander would feel the same. To that end, I usually design scenarios that allow the attacker to place the units within a set-up zone. So, instead of forcing my set-up preferences on the player, I tend to group the forces. I'll keep the platoons together and have an area for support weapons, vehicles, and the like. I feel this allows the player to see exactly what he has at the outset.

More results from the Newbie Rejects: Voidhawk (German) defeated Bobbaro (US) by a score of 44-33 in Rabbit's Foot. So, Voidhawk wins Round 2 with an overall score of 152-75 and advances to Round 3. Congratulations to Voidhawk!

More results from the GV Newbies: White4 (US) defeated Leta (German) by a score of 58-16 in Rabbit's Foot. This was enough for White4 to overtake Leta's lead from the first two legs of Round 2. So, White4 wins Round 2 with an overall score of 125-100 and advances to Round 3. Congratulations to White4!

Almost 24 hours between bumps! :eek:

PawBroon has unleashed a massive update at MODs and MODers.

So your teams average 11 goals per game? This sounds more like lacrosse or water polo than soccer. You sure you know which sport you're playing? :confused: Dave</font>

My First Soccer in Over Nine Months AAR My plan was to play goalkeeper for the first half of the first game to see how things went. Well, after playing two consecutive games, I think it's safe to say things went well! Game 1 Despite allowing six goals, only one could be pinned on me. I played a ball poorly and allowed a player to score. The other five goals were the result of defensive breakdowns that culminated in point blank shots. Fortunately, this team's strength is offense and the final score was 13-6. Game 2 After getting the first game out of the way, I was ready to rock and roll. This team plays a much better defense, making my job easier. Again, I allowed only one soft goal and the defense allowed the other one. With a strong performance on both ends of the field, we came away with a 9-2 victory! The knee feels great! Of course the scrapes, bumps, and bruises are another story, but I'm not about to complain. Thanks again to all the well wishers out there.

Michael Dorosh has more interesting reading at GD for CM.

PB, Somebody has to keep soccer alive in this country and I'm doing all I can. Thanks, I look forward to kicking some balls to. :eek:
