The firefight have ceased, corpses are lying everywhere and tanks are burning. Survivors are licking their wounds. For now, the war is over. I remain to wait another assignments as I have now finished my tour of duty. Only few reports must be made for my CO, Generalissimus Treeburst155 Yes, I have finished all games. It was fun. It was great. It was exciting. It was pain and suffering! Thanks for all who made this tournament possible. and BTW, is it wine tasting in my mouth...? cheers, Juha

Great to have You back in strengt!

Excellent. My addiction to scenario-based tournament playing needs to be fed! I just sent Another day-AAR to TB155 and will write more. I have the time now, Only Polish push is still under way... Waiting is the hardest part... Keep up the good work, guys! -Juha

About the partisans: There was a document shown in Finnish TV a while ago, and they interviewed old russian man who had destroyed a "garrison" and killed all enemy "soldiers" and had received a ton of medals for that (he had his uniform on, and his chest was literally FULL of medals). He didn't show any kind of regret, he actually was proud what he had done. It really pissed me off. I hope (although I am an atheist) that there will some day be somekind of tribunal that rewards his actions for what they were. Pure monstrosities. -Juha

Now that von Lucke is out of coma again, I have bent over and the Poles are pushing hard. That hurts! My guys need some time to heal from that brutal action so I take a weekend off and go to my cottage with some thirsty CM-friends of mine and consume some liquids. Von Lucky, I'll be back on monday.

Von lucke is still MIA. Booooooring....

All other games finished, except Polish push with von Lucke (surprise, surprise ) I'm getting a file per week from him - if lucky. I hope everything is ok with he. TB155, if there is some scenario in our section which is done by all (even with von Lucke-factor ), can we get a sneak peek of the results? I feel lucky...

ROTFLMAO!!! How about making Italians red wearing tifosi? I'd love to shoot at 'em, damn Ferrari is killing the fun for Formula-1! Juha

The show must go on! I believe (and hope) Treeburst155 will give us somekind of info via email. For all things he have done to entertain us by organizing great tourneys, I salute him! HOORAY! HOORAY! HOORAY! Juha Ahoniemi out

It could be the last all finnish tournament . Think about it, how many finns will agree to play the russians? Maybe its time for BFC to rethink about implementing an option where you can play against the same side. /Kristian</font>

Ok this is serious. I have finished following games: - Fire on the mountain with The Capt - Another day with JonS - St Mere Eglise with Diceman With Von Lucke (Polish push)the game is in the halfway and with Saport (Head for the hills)we have about eight minutes left. BUT I haven't got a turn for about 48 hours and I am getting severe symptoms of serious CMBO addiction. You know what they are if You have them! So please, Saport and von Lucke: SEND ME A TURN! please please please... Juha [ July 31, 2002, 07:03 AM: Message edited by: Juha Ahoniemi ]

As many of You may know, we Finns are quiet people who don't show our emotions easily. So *** BIG DRUNKEN BROTHERLY HUG *** - this is propably forgotten by tomorrow when sobered up - Juha

I'm heading on the road again, no guarantee of turns until next sunday. I might (and probably will)get some out every day if everything works well. And BTW, Von Lucke is still MIA. I'm finidhed with The Capt And JonS, 4 minutes left with Diceman and about 10 minutes left with Saport. Juha

Still no word from von Lucke. Games proceeding with Saport and Diceman. Last turn awaits with JonS. Juha

Well, the top of it; his ears were half gone. DjB</font>

T1sec4! Anyone heard of von Lucke? I got a turn from him over a week ago. My other games are flowing good, just finished Fire on the mountain. That map was work of art and scenario provided a lot of fun...and sweat and blood... Another day: two more turns and it's done too. Just updated my computer, all systems running smoothly. Bring on CMBB! Juha

T1Sec4: I was out for weekend, and sunday I noticed that some heavy arty have landed on my main board so to speak. I have a backup macnine, with difficult internet access. I try to do some turns, but I will get new processor in wednesday and then I can fix my main headquarters - or do sumfink. Juha

JonS, I'm playing with Saport a few turns per day. Our game is the longest one, so I think he wants to get it rolling nicely. My status is - I'm waiting files from all of You in my section. So Move it! Time zone differences cause that we can't play many turns per day with my opponents, but slow and steady wins the race. Keep those turns coming, guys!

The_Capt, I haven't got a turn from von Lucke for a week. I just started a game with Saport, so he is active. And please don't whine about Fire on the mountain - You'r doing way too good...and allied have all those toys to play with..waaah my huns wanna have some of those too...

Attention! Today begins the celebration of midnight sun here in Finland. Therefore, at my fronts, there will be a brief cease fire. Hostilities will continue again monday however(presuming I am not a part of sad statisticks conserning the midnight sun - many will die again, swimming during heavy consumption of alcohol. Or in another kind of accidents). Sauna will be hot and beer will be cool. Oh, and there will again be a peak in birth rates because of the midnight sun or "Juhannus" like we call it. -Juha

Beckman is out? Well it figures. I havent seen a film from our battle so I will accept starting all over again if necessary. JonS: I will unleash Heinrich on You if You don't put that damn arty on hold...

Ok gentlemen (is there any on the battlefied? ) I'm back home. And I'm back with mean attitude. JonS, mail sent, thanks for resending. Let's spill some allied blood... TheCapt, let's find out what Your frog squad is made of VonLucke watch Your health Diceman, time to roll the Dice eh eh Beckman quit hiding... -Juha the mad commander- [ June 14, 2002, 10:43 AM: Message edited by: Juha Ahoniemi ]

Attention T1/sec4: I just want to make sure You have files from me? In my books everybody ows me a turn, but I an't be sure because I'm on a ZfD3 course in different town and staying in a hotel. My access to net is limited and I play with my laptop (works fine btw) but emails may cause some trouble so please let me know if You haven't got a turn from me. I Haven't got anything back from JonS for several days, I hope everything is OK. Gotta say this is some fine entertainment for boring night in hotel (can't go to the course with headache...) regards, Juha

Hi John! Do not panic, the man isn't "Goliath" (except in real life )He just uses enough time to analyze different moves and solutions in CM. Yes, he prefers German side, and knows how to use them. He doesn't use any gamey methods, though. He uses the super-ugly grid terrain mod which makes it easier observe the differences in terrain elevations. You might want to ask tips from Jarmo, I believe he gave some serial punishment to Ari in Invitational. I can't say if there is any Achilles heel, but some times his liking of Krupp steel makes his infantry little few in numbers. His style is quite cautious, he prefers not to take big risks. And if possible he makes a testing scenario of his own to see possible outcome from some action he is thinking to try. Even when winning, he doesn't get cocky but remains cautious. And he have learned many things during those tournamets he have played, and I believe so have You. One thing (if living in same time zone) to get him off balance is constantly harass him by email or phone to sent next turn soon and add some rude insults (Well I do that to him anyways...) He doesn't like to play in a hurry, he wants to take his time. He also have very good knowledge of WWII and own tons of books about it. I'd say he is quite fond of the subject (as am I). Finally, since Ari probably reads this too in some point - turn on Your freakin cellphone man!

You must mean "the Aftermath" where You played the Axis? Here is some statistics from Nordic warriors: Scenario [ The_Aftermath ] medians [ 41.25 58.75 ] (allied on the left, Axis on the right obviously) Whose that "overwhelmingly superior one" force was again? But feel free to be satisfied with Yourself...
