Hi Malakovski I shall check on this tonight and see if I can find out what is happening. Not good news and I don't have any back up players. The only person I could throw at you is soemone who has played it before and hence would have a very unfair advantage. Lets see what we can do tonight. H

Right Gents I think three weeks has passed and I need some more updates on progress so far? So sound off... H

Ted now you have spoiled the Soviets surprise... Dohhh!!!! H

I would guess by now you two (MrSpkr and Tracks) are having fun. Thanks for the update. Yes we are into the third week and should be finishing up the end of next week if all is going well? H

Also, while I am at it I have seen the files for Brent vs Andrew and MrSpkr vs Tracks and I must say they both look to be real humdinger of games. I can't say too much, So I will now shut up. H Walpurgis / Jdsu if you have a spare file I would love to see how it is progressing. [ July 29, 2005, 01:37 AM: Message edited by: Holien ]

Below is progress so far. I need Akula and Neutral Party to pipe up. We are pass halfway mark and I need to know if you are playing this final game. Cheers H German-------------> Russian--------> Turn Walpurgis----------> jdsu-----------> 4 Brent Pollock------> Andrew Kulin---> 4 Tracks-------------> MrSpkr---------> 17 Sgt Gold-----------> Victor Charlie-> Finished a1steaks-----------> Neutral Party--> 1 Akula2-------------> Malakovski-----> 1 Preserved Killick--> Booz-----------> 9 [ August 04, 2005, 02:53 PM: Message edited by: Holien ]

Yep! I will check e-mails tonight but nothing from you as far as I know. I will also post a chart showing progress tonight. H

Hi Gents, I presume all is OK with MrSpkr? I have just got back in the UK and don't think anyone needs anything? Will be asking for an update soon as we are around the halfway mark. Cheers H

Just goes to show everyone has one good design in them at least. Bit like a book. Mind you some people have many great designs. H

http://www.battlefront.com/cgi-bin/bbs/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=6;t=002676;p=1&r=actu There was some debate a year or so ago about the balance of this game. I guess time has proved it to be balanced. H

ROWIII The Beast CMBB G3 R3 50% p6 E6.50 A stunning game. I really enjoyed this one. H And if my memory serves me well "Our Backs to the Volga" is another stunning game but requires a decent PC to handle the size of it and the Smoke...

Hi Gents, the first week is nearly up and Vic Charlie and Sgt Gold have finished their game. Anyone else care to let me know how they are doing? I am off to the good old US of A on Thursday for my 20 year High School Reunion. So will be off line for awhile. Status report from players is due on Tuesday if my memory serves me right? H

Right I have now had a sneak peek at the final game. They are on the final video and trying to sort out watching it. I by the power of password have seen the video and know the result. Now I don't want to spoil it for them so will just post here the scores after all results have been posted. They could work out from it how they did but it will take some doing. But so everyone else can move on here is your next opponent and how many points I believe you have. I will e-mail you the scores and you can check I transcribed everything correctly. Allied Player-----> Points 1. jdsu-----------> 19 2. Andrew Kulin---> 14 3. MrSpkr---------> 14 4. Abbott---------> 12 (Now Vic Charlie) 5. Neutral Party--> 11 6. Malakovski-----> 8 7. Booz-----------> 6 Axis Player------------> Points 1. Walpurgis-----------> 17 2. Brent Pollock-------> 13 3. Tracks--------------> 13 4. Sgt Gold------------> 11 5. a1steaks------------> 11 6. Akula2--------------> 10 7. Preserved Killick---> 9 So you will now play the player on the opposing side with the same number. I.e. Walpurgis vs jdsu Etc.... The final game I and my opponent both really enjoyed. I know some of you might hate it but I hope some of you get the same mileage as we did. Enjoy.... H

Brent I had hoped to get the next games out before you go on holiday. Still waiting on the last game result. H

Well as you were the penultimate game you will not have to wait too long. An interesting scenario which some did very well on and others did very poorly. H

Excellent news. No Problem about updating, just me with spare time on my hands, ready and eager to get the last game out of the door. H

OK Ted, Not a problem, just me trying to speed things along. I hope Andrew manages to have a fun weekend. I will be working in the Garden and staying off the roads as Silverstone and the Grandprix traffic lock down my area over the weekend. Cheers H

Two games left to finish. Will they be done this weekend? H

So how is this game going? Any update? H

Right gents here is the progress tracker for the third game into the final straight. German Player----> Russian Player-----> Turn Brent Pollock----> jdsu---------------> Complete Walpurgis--------> Abbott-------------> Complete Tracks-----------> Andrew Kulin-------> 10 Sgt Gold---------> Vic Charlie--------> Complete a1steaks---------> Neutral Party------> Complete Preserved Killick-> Malakovski---------> 15 Akula2------------> Booz---------------> Complete MrSpkr check your e-mail. We have 6 days left. H [ July 07, 2005, 10:59 PM: Message edited by: Holien ]

Hi Brent, Thanks for the heads up and if only all players were like you... H

Hi Brent he must be shopping NYC as I have still not heard from him and he is now replaced by Vic Charlie for this game. I will then take a view on the next game as we are down Abbott and MrSpkr unless he re-appears? The next game is due to start next week. H

The end is technically a full week so it would be I guess the 12th July depending on when I exactly sent out the files. If we can finish earlier then all well and good. Pity MrSpkr is AWOL as I would love to know what he is upto? Thanks for the updates Gents.

MrSpkr it is now the 5th July. I am going to have to give Sgt Gold a player unless I get a response from you by the end of today. Please get in touch. All other players I will need a turn update today as I think we are three weeks through the timescale if my memory serves me right? Tracks-----------> Andrew Kulin-------> 12 Sgt Gold---------> MrSpkr-------------> ?? a1steaks---------> Neutral Party------> 09 Preserved Killick-> Malakovski---------> 18 FYI, Abbott is being replaced in the next game by Vic Charlie as with regret Abbott has had to pull out of the tourney. I might consider getting Vic to play against Sgt Gold if we don't get any response from MrSpkr who said he was available over the 4th July weekend. (I do hope he (MrSpkr) is OK and just having an extended holiday.) If there is anyone watching this thread and can play TCP IP in American time please e-mail me.
