W4,Originally posted by White4:I for one have a more pressing concern: Leta and I look like we will tie in Blood and Steel. This, of course, is unacceptable! So, instead of getting SuperTed all riled up about tourney scoring (you KNOW he can't count that high), I would like to distract him for a second. SuperTed, could you please apply a few seconds of scenario creation thought to this question: Given the fact that we want a fair scenario, involving tanks and stuff:
What is the scenario that would most make you shudder? Something that perhaps leaks radioactivity? Something SMALLER than blood and steel? God help us, we've been doing 2-4 turns a day, and we are still only on turn 43 of 80, Letas just recieved his fourth set of reinforcements, the lines of burning tanks go for miles in all directions, wandering crews get lost and perish of thirst, my tanks are running low on AP ammo, I'm loosing my mind, and shermies are getting 2 shots with no reply from STUGs that have run out of gas, NOOOOOOOoooooooo.......
I haven't laughed that hard for a long time. Thanks.
ps. The new version is "only" 65 turns. It has the same units, but the carnage is compressed.
pps. Maybe I should just have everybody play Blood and Steel. Whoever lasts the 65 turns without losing their mind would be declared the winner.

It is a Canadian tank! :eek:

Leta,Originally posted by Leta:Blood'n'Steel Report:
"Oh man! This is a total carnage!. From my observation point I can see at least eighteen smoke columns scattered along the whole battlefield. I see abandoned tanks, jeeps and other vehicles by dozens from here to horizon, his crews running in panic. American and German wreckages are melted everywhere. More and more tank columns are arriving to the slaughterhouse this battle is ... It's a total madness. Leta out."
Now that's what I like to hear!

More results from the SuperNewbie Alternates:
R.C. (German, 53) and Dinga (Polish, 47) played to a draw in A Bridge Too Close.
Congratulations to R.C. (barely)!

Hmmm, that looks like a Canadian tank...

Half of the results have been received for Give and Take and things are looking like they're slightly skewed in favor of the Canadians. So, we have two options:
1) use Nabla's scoring system to standardize the results; or
2) play a different scenario and throw out the results from G&T altogether.
So, please let me know what your choice is. Keep in mind your decision should be based on what is fair, not what works best for you. Also, this is not a democracy. I am asking for your input, but I reserve the right to make the final call, regardless of what the results of the voting indicate.
Those who are still playing should continue. I need all the scores before I can make my decision.
Thanks for your patience and feedback.

I just introduced Austin to the world of mods. I hope God can forgive me someday for my sins.
We will have Give and Take finished by the end of the day Ted.
Another one bites the dust! :eek:

VJ,Originally posted by Vader's Jester:You gave me Volks troops Ted? :mad: You know I can't fight with those!!
"A plague on both [you and Austin] your houses!"
Now, don't get too excited. Your troops will get nervous.

Dave,Originally posted by Dave H:Oh, the joy of getting to make the first post to one of SuperTed's newbie threads (excepting only the man himself). Ted, I'm thinking you have put everything but the kitchen sink into Give & Take. I won't be surprised to see some of Splash's men come sliding down a hill in that, too.
What's next, a scenario in a tornado?

Hey, I like it!

Note: since aggregate scores are used to determine winners, the outcome of one scenario will undoubtedly affect how another scenario is played. So, unlike playing scenarios individually (i.e. in a "vacuum"), it is difficult to extrapolate useful play-balance information from these numbers. (The exception is when the scores are VERY close to 50 for each side. Then it's just good scenario design. :cool: )
