"that is funny coming from someone who has left my little pixel men in bloody heaps more times than I care to remember" Doesn't happen often enough ! And yah I was trying to be funny .

Good observations Glider. Still I prefer my mortars to be able to pin enemy inf for more than one turn. Seems, my inf need more than 60 secs to do anything.

"Thank god my opponents don't play like this" Your right, the best solution is to stop playing people like David Chapuis ! I think the main point of this topic was the inherent advantages of having infantry heavy forces. In this AAR the opponent spent too many points on non-infantry assets, therefore was unable to achieve even a 2:1 inf advantage. And the terrain definately required the attacker to have more infantry. I'll vouch for 81mm mortars and above, I haven't had much luck with the 50mm. 60mm is fine, used in pairs. And yah, the scale + 1 billion, it sure deceivd me.

Nicely done. Can't remember and too lazy to reread stuff read prior to the memory failure, did the opp have any morturs or art ? Your inf. seems ripe for some incoming.

This tourney was a blast. I really enjoyed playing in it and applaud all the work put in by Holien, the tourney designers and playtesters. I really liked the tourney format, especially in terms of how players were matched up (I'll admit playing the same player twice would detract unless it was the finals) and in the theme of related battles. Also, the strict adherence to a timetable kept the interest at a high level. This is the 2nd tourney I've entered, the first tourney which started just before this is just now entering the 2nd game ! zzzzz.... Thanks to all my opponents for fun games, and thanks to Walpurgis Nacht for kicking my butt in the final game. While everyone went right for me in the first and third battles, it seemed everything went wrong in the final one. Starting from my flawed battle plan and the inability to realize quickly enough that the battle plan was flawed. The Germans got into town one or two turns quicker than anticipated and my green troops all decided to fold at the first pistol shot. A much worse performance than my conscripts in the prior game. The flame tanks refused to hit anything. How hard is it for a gunner to fire two flame shots straight down a road ! @*%)#. The T-34's, one gets it's gun knocked out after firing one shot by a 20mm gun, the other gets kaboshed by enemy infantry because it refused to fire any of its plentiful cannister, while the last one surrenders before taking out any enemy armor or infantry, it also failed to fire any cannister #%#$#@%@. But I hear revenge is sweet, so ermm ...Im hoping I get to taste just how sweet :0. Don't let the light resistance fool you WN, your advancing exactly how I didn't setup my D to counter. eh ? oh oh.

The German Account was a terrific read. Also, the fact that so many Canadian shells were duds in the mud, I wonder how that could be modelled in AK. A whole new meaning to wasted points.

Ted, File sent about an hour ago. Let me know if you didn't get it. jdsu

I think Walpurgis Nacht vrs Wiggins would be a very interesting match up.

Same problem for me. Can't find the internet page. Just happened today I have ZoneAlarm Pro firewall, but it was never blocking access before.
