Well it need not be St Mere but a decent para operation would be nice. Just started playing an Op loosely based on St Mere but it is sooooo loose that I am disappointed. Also the briefing does not give the authors name. Any good 2 player Ops out there? H

Ahh Sounds in the night, I think I first met KR in that game and I see he is still posting. Of the two games I would say don't rebuild Sounds in the Night that was truly horrible! H

Winecape, are you the new marketing manager for CMC? A new sideline for you? Money well spent if it gets the game launched into the community succesfully. Lets hope the beta testing is nearly complete. Get back to that computer and find more bugs... H

Watching with interest. Until I see the final product (game) I have as yet to get an idea of what is possible. I am guessing (and I hope) that some here might be beta testers? Anyway back to lurk mode until the game is released and the tourney is set up .... H

Cheers We await.... Quietly... We await...

Did they use the Tripod often?

Heh Heh I still remember that game and JK was non too happy as I remember it? A Long time ago and we are still kicking our heels around here. BTW a blood great bit of action 1 that sticks in the mind.

"A good man would prefer to be defeated than to defeat injustice by evil means. " Sallust, 'Jugurthine War,' 41 B.C. Roman historian & politician (86 BC - 34 BC) This quote sums up the discussion so far. A pity that some do not get it... H P.s. I have just out of interest checked the profile and it shocks me even more... (

Lou I hope all is well and it is good to see you posting again. I hope we can catch up with you this year. H

Scenario size is an essential consideration for Tourneys. You have to keep players interest and even with an entrance fee players will lose interest if it takes too long to undertake a turn. The average player wants IMO a quick turn around else they lose the will to play on. Also I think all tournies will suffer a 10% to 20% drop out rate in which case you need back up players to take their slots. This would happen even if people had paid. Perhaps maybe down to 10% but you will still get some players dropping out. I must say that TV was very good but perhaps not a good choice for a tourney? It does seem that this Tourney has run out of steam? H

Richie, What Wood Mod are you using? H

Hi Steve, Sorry did not respond to your e-mail. Dohhh. New year lets give it a go. I think you said you were busy with work and I am busy travelling until New Year, bar a bit of free time in the next two weeks. H

Watch your Sides in TV I caught the tail end of that and the Map is very good. Great look and feel. I am waiting for the general release of that scenario so I can play it from the start. Pity I will know some of the features but I think it should be balanced even if players know what there is on the map before hand? Good work Richie H

Tiger Valley is a fun game and I must compliment the designer. Great feel and look to the game. Bloody large map that allows the players lots of opportunities and it will be good to see how players approached this map. I can see both sides doing well in this one depending on what their opponents do. As for the results I am gobsmacked that even players in the top groups are taking so long and do not seem to have any urgency to completing the games!!! These tourneys take a lot of effort to sort and run and the minimum players can do is finish the games on time or have the courtesy of explaining why they can't. I realise people lose interest after a while and that is why I experimented with shorter timescales, but even then we had players not finishing games. Come on gents don't let the orgainisers down and your fellow players. H

CF? Surrender?

Quick update, 5 Turns to go with Steve, not as quick progress as I had hoped for, but should be done by this weekend. (Steve has yet to play a TCP Ip game.) Not sure what the new deadline is? Still happy to pick up "Other Means" game so that it is kept out of hands of tourney players. H

Bloody big map... I see the designers have been having fun again. First turn sent and should finish this up quickly. H P.s. He won't be getting it easy from me...

My offer to pick up any slack is still open. Upto KF / organisers if they want this to happen? Tonight is a good night for some quick turns as Her in Doors is outdoors and I have become him indoors. If you see what I mean... Also would rather be playing than doing stuff I am supposed to be doing... H P.s. Just seen that both of you are UK players and if you are around tonight we could crack some turns out, not played ROW V so a bit of a Newbie, you will have to be gentle with me.

I hardly think it is an over reaction to say that it is "not on" to say you want a country wiped out. He made no threats! Considering the information he might have about incidents in British controlled areas of Iraq there could well be a need to make a strong point. Too often we have kept quite when countries are taking the piss. IMO Anyway you are welcome to your view but if you express it here I feel the need to counter it. (I think your SNP bias might be showing.) But that is just my view. Nuff said. H

You must have heard something different to me. But perhaps not best to discuss that here. H

I think the model in the game makes it too hard to knock out with a AT rifle. They were quite significant slugs and just one round into the burst signature of the HMG is going to hurt something. Also I am guessing the .55 slug could tear through wooden walls quite easily? H

Very impressive. H

I have just killed one side on with a grenade, I was expecting to have to be behind it, but side on was fine.. In a recent game I had one and the mulitple Russian AT rifles got hits but did no damage. I would think an AT rifle would be accurate enough to get a hit on the burst of bright light (fire) when the gun is fired. Just putting a few rounds into that circle is bound to hit a crew memeber? H

I think I have read that yes they will remain in place and the terrain will remember damage done to it!! H

I would love to see an early war project. Low tech weapons is where it is at. (Who needs Tigers and Panthers!!) H
