SP was fun for you cause you got to kick my @**! Congrates to the guys that won.

I never should have went into those stinking buildings. Instead of being able to pin you with the troops in the building and moving my schrecks into the woods I had to rush my guys out to get slaughtered. I never recovered from that.

Not to gloat but my PC has both a DVD and a CD-RW drive. I have CMBO in one and CMBB in another. No more switching CDs for me. If your willing to take on new people I'm willing to play in the tournament.

I have a PBEM ready but you don't have an email address in your profile.

I was ranting about the same thing in another thread. If you want you can send me a setup.

I don't think Sword Point was close to an Allied Minor Victory. I only had one unit left that was useful and no flags. I was soundly beaten. I didn't have a good plan on what to do once Alsatian made it across the bridge. Once that happened I never had a chance.

The AI seems to do a bit better as the Allies.

Dawson's Creek is on and my wife must watch that show. If she doesn't see it then she will die, or whine about it until I die.

Herr Oberst has the right idea on how to set up the map. It should eliminate most of the variables (targeting, global morale, etc) that we are complaining about. Seeing we are only talking about 1st shot hits does it matter what the target vehicle is? I can't watch TV tonight so I'll try to set it up and see how it goes.

I'm assuming by lanes Warren means that a t34 would only be able to shoot at one StugIII. That would eliminate turrent rotation as a variable assuming that the tanks started facing each other. Were the tanks immoblized? That would keep them from moving and changing the Hit %. The thing to do would be to set the test up so that one side had one shot of ammo. Then measure the number of 1st shot hits. The other side would just be targets with no ammo.

Could you replay it as a hot seat game and see what the numbers look like for 2 human players?

Flyby, I sent you an email with a set up.

Sounds good to me. This is the sort of thing I was thinking of. I'm glad to hear you had good luck finding good opponents. [ October 28, 2002, 09:07 PM: Message edited by: Alan ]

You never read any of the Peng threads? There was also one in the General Forum for a while. It had something to do with Dorosh. I know there is the opponent finder forum but I have had crappy luck in getting opponents from there to keep playing or even respond. I've pretty much given up on trying to get opponents from there. It is a pain because playing in the tournament has gotten me addicted to PBEM. It seems like the best thing to do is get some of the losers from the FOTN tournament and start a thread for us to challenge each other to games.
