Amadeus

Next result Group G: Victor beats Amadeus Because of the short numeric group Victor is the first player in the Play Offs.

Good to hear you are back Minty. So all games on schedule.

Long time ago I heard how to improve the map overview. Maybe Hubert said it I forgot. An additional picture or jpg file or something. Do anyone know how to make a better overview map like in Weapons and Warfare?

Group A: Abukede surrender to the other guys of the group, maybe he has not enough time. Group B: Fastest victory of the tournament thru Clausewitz. Mirror game between Clausewitz and Fritz not that far at the moment. Group C: Looks like a small advantage on Winti but all games still in progress Group D: Only little information from Australia that everything works fine Group E: All games are mirrored games, so there are 4 games in progress. Alexandre le grand/Sandy have now reached Oct/Nov 1943. Sandy/Epic are up to May/June 1943. The Axis is doing well in all 4 games – China conquered and India invaded in all 4. The early war in Europe went fairly conventionally in all 4 games, with Barbarossa starting around the usual mid 41 date and Japan everywhere attacking the Soviet Far East. Seems to be close in all games. Group F: Guderian/Rafael are currently in february 41. Small problems in Guderian/Minty due to the airport chaos in Europe. His laptop with his luggage are lost and it will take a while to resume the game. Group G: Amadeus Axis – Victor Allie. Advantages for Victor.

Yes rare situation. Artillery vs. Warships at sea.

I watch the Forum but nobody write about it. Is it right that Artillery Units may attack Ships but there is no effect to the marine unit. I mean no Readiness loss to the defender appears thru artillery.

If I understand it right HQ command rating is half the worth of HQ experience. The formula is shown in your Extras folder/Science of SC. So take the Veteran HQ. But that is only for Readiness. For more Losses you should focus on experience by the single unit. 1.6 iron crosses means on point more loss to the defender! Same other way round, 1.6 iron cross for the defender unit means one point more loss to the attacker. (100 % Readiness conditions)

A small new issue about Reports. If a Major Power surrender the income and expenses do not change in the total amount but the graph will not change to zero. I recognize this "problem" in my German Fall Weiss. France surrender and the graph don't decrease as it should have to. Total worth is OK.

40 turns are made. Axis liberated northern Africa but Victor is used in backward fighting in a good meaning. He knows where to fight and where not. China shows at least slow moving too Axis. 1 corps landed in Australia and most British Isles are taken. Preparing for Pearl Harbor is recommended.

Difficult match for me. In China there is no break thru for Axis. China has already Infantry research too. So calmly fronts. Germany takes Poland, LC, France, Malta, Tunisia and Algeria. First troops going against Egypt.

Who else? You have to win about Catacol to reach next round.

Result Group A: Catacol Highlander (Axis) has beaten Abukede (Allies) in August 1942.

Group G The smallest group is playing too. Amadeus takes the Axis and Victor from Sweden takes Allies Very Early in the game, May 1940: Paris fallen, Thailand and Indochina surrender to Japan, Nanning and Changsa occupied by Axis, same with Chengshow. I will report after some additional turns later.

Clausewitz plays very good...

Last day for signing in is over. We have 20 players for the Tournament. A: Rambo, Abukede, Catacol Highlander B: Clausewitz, Fritz, The Great Santini C: Javi, Realbilly, Winti D: Dragon, ShaunB, Pacestick E: Sandy, Alexandre le grand, Epic F: Guderian, Minty, Rafael G: Victor, Amadeus I think it is the best when playing best of 8 after the group phase. So only the winners of each group is savely for next round. I will contact each group after a while to make sure that everything is allright. P.S.: If you wanna see the Final Draw of the Tournament watch here http://www.panzerliga.de/dt/docs/forum/viewtopic.php?p=31382#31382

One of the winners of StratCom Design Challenge wants full customisable research options for a next release. Is this proposal ready to take off? "...game effects and applicable units should be able to be specified by the user in the game editor..." (Moonslayer) I would love to customize a bid more then before. Please say yes, Hubert.

Last signing in for the Tournament is next Tuesday but we already have the first result: Group B - Clausewitz beats The Great Santini in 1941

Is this good or bad for you?

Wow, very good idea to make a WW I game. I always watching for one.

Yes Hubert, that is the thing. "the losses charts reflect MPP losses based on the purchase costs and not the reinforcement costs" I still update the German manual and write about the reports as well. In a strict sense the losses are not correct because you don’t loose the mpps that are shown i. e. if I repair my Bomber I have halves costs. But the mpps I could bomb down are real. Maybe a new player want to know that. That is no problem for me. I only wanna make it clear cause I explain it a bit more in the German manual than you did in the default English one. I am sorry Thank you Hubert, I am fine.

The first Report in the list "Convoys" ist quite clear. No I am looking at the second one called "Raiders". That is a report about ships, surface Fleet (grey line) and subs (blue line) isn't it? My problem is that the mpp casualties that are shown only fit when the subs and ships are complete lost. If they are only damaged the amount is too high. Same issue another report: "Strategic Bombing" The "Enemy Bomber Losses" that are shown does't fit, too high. My English is maybe not good enough I am not a native speaker, sorry.

More and more I am working with the Report feature of the game. But in this case I have an issue or question. The second report "Raiders" shows the casualties of my own fleet I guess. But as I recognize the total amount is on base of complete losses. If a sub is only damaged the worth isn't the same cause I could repair damaged sub or ships much cheaper. Does the games Raiders report recognize the difference between losses and damages?

Hi Rafael, sure, ending day for signing in is 2010-11-30. So any player is welcome. Amadeus

Hopefully we could activate some guys more to play!
