    It is over, ligur wins round 1 52-48.

    Ours was not really a blood-bath, more a true game of hide-and-seek, especially at the end.

    A nice little scenario, very tense. Salute! SuperTed.

    Vadr,

    Thanks. It sounds like you guys took the title of the scenario VERY seriously. ;)

    For Yankee Dog and Zitadelle the carnage has really begun! The early phase (see earlier post) was nothing compared to where we are now and probably going. Yes, stens and MP44s are really nasty at point blank range! :eek:

    As for Vader and Dragon, you'll just have to wait and soon find out about the next scenario. We requested it from SuperTed last night, and both Yankee Dog and Zitadelle need to think about the setup for that one (we've exchanged setup files to keep both on the same intell level, but Yankee Dog has not issued the "official setup"). Talk about a radically different approach.

    Excellent work SuperTed!<hr></blockquote>

    Zitadelle,

    Thanks, man. I didn't want the first two scenarios to be too similar. ;)

    Is battle #2 more than an infantry engagment Ted? (Not that there is anything wrong w/ infantry only battles)<hr></blockquote>

    VJ,

    There is more than just infantry this time around. However, it probably is not what you expect. ;)

    Guys,

    It sounds like you guys are on the opposite end of carnage spectrum from Vader's Jester and Lord Dragon. ;)

    DFG,

    There will not be a loser's bracket. However, I am in the process of getting a mini-competition going for all the Alternates. They'll be playing one scenario per round against each other. That way, they will have something to do while they're waiting/hoping ( ;) ) for somebody to drop out of the tournament. I'll be sending an email to the Alternates today (hopefully) or tomorrow.

    I would be willing to add players to the alternate list (BEHIND the first four) after they are eliminated. The scenarios I am using for the Alternates will be different than those used for the actual tournament, so there is no overlap.

    If anybody is keeping track, that is 12 scenarios by yours truly for this tournament. :D

    Chad, how did you drag me into this?! :eek: ;)

    SM,

    Can you say carnage? I knew you could. ;)

    Say Ted, you're super!

    Newbie question

    I've trying to work out how the film works and I've realised that I may be experiencing the "catch"

    We are now in the 2nd turn so when Dunsel returns the game and I run the film for the first time that will be the result.

    i.e. if I made a copy of the game upon receipt and ran both films would they be different?

    I'm confused

    This is not to achieve the best results but rather ensuring I have something to study. (he said deviously)<hr></blockquote>

    Splash,

    After Player #2 (i.e. the second player to plot orders for the turn) finishes the Orders Phase, the computer calculates all the numbers for the upcoming Action Phase. That is happening as the blue meter runs horizontally after Player #2 hits "Go!" Then, the file is sent to Player #1. All the calculations are done, so Player #1 will not be able to change anything.

    Does that answer your question?

    So what a about an idiot's tournament?

    Only people who scored low on a previous tournament, a ladder or a campaign game can participate.

    The scenarios are guaranteed to be inbalanced and mind-bending, like twenty conscript french flamethrowers defending against an attack by towed guns only.<hr></blockquote>

    RHA,

    I think it would be safe to combine the two. ;)

    Well, so far I've run into the Seven Dwarfs, a lost paintball party, and something from Jurasic Park (T-Rex, I think - it's big and it's making a lot of noise) but no Poles...This is a great map, big on suspense and it sounds like bloody when all hell breaks loose! Very addictive - and I hope I can squeeze more turns in tonight...BTW, nice job modeling the T-Rex, SuperTed! :D <hr></blockquote>

    T29,

    It sounds like you found all the little surprises I put out there. Now, if you ever find any Poles, you'll be in business.
