Thank You -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dont think it works like that dude. That is correct, no tournament of mine is going to let anyone just play the side they like. It is random draw for your matches to some extent. But I doubt that you could get the Germans like six times in a row. I actually go through and make sure that everyone gets to play offence and defence hopefully about the same amount of times, but no promises there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slysniper Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 I would like to know from those of you who are playing, do you want 2 rounds again or should we do 3. It should be clear as to which before we start this thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be clear as to which before we start this thing. From memory, we had 3 matches per round so, 3 rounds, 9 matches? Also, it took a month to finish each round so, that would be 3 months? I am not really bothered but maybe a 3rd round for some would be too much of a committment? Something else... is there any way we could get the highlights from a match/game on video? Would be good to watch what happened to other players, after the tourney had finished. Perhaps someone could host a site? I would volunter but dont have the technical ability. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Originally posted by Jeppe: Jeppe signing in and awaiting orders... (I will only play as the Axis). Thank You Hey Jeppe, forget about “I will only play the Krauts” and get your Swedish backside into this Tourney! You won’t regret it. Promise . Well, you might, but only a bit… Originally posted by slysniper: I would like to know from those of you who are playing, do you want 2 rounds again or should we do 3. It should be clear as to which before we start this thing. Two or three rounds? That’s easy, I reckon if I commit for two months I might as well tack on an extra 4 weeks. I remember last tourney I’d have liked to play a third set of battles. Maybe real life will throw me a wobbler in week 10, or in week 5, but that’s the risk we all take, whenever we plan ahead. As for Neil’s movie-sharing idea, that would be great, but as he said, we’d need someone with the means and the know-how to set it up. And Slysniper would have to change the PWs after every round . Oh and Slysniper, you might be wondering how it happened that you suddenly find yourself in the position of a tournament director again. It’s all Major Tum’s fault, of course . I for one truly appreciate your commitment, and I’m sure the others do too. So allow me to send you a standing ovation from CMBO players chanting “THANK YOU! THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!!!”. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinga44 Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 I second Walker...a big thankyou again for the first tourney...and a big thankyou in advance for what surely will be another great tourney with great maps (again) I don't mind how many rounds we go...it's all good fun. I guess the only consideration is Christmas (yep it's coming around again) and we may lose some players over that period, or have games slow down quite a bit 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil aka Major Tum Posted September 16, 2006 Author Share Posted September 16, 2006 Ya, big thanks from me! Slyski, u da man!!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slysniper Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 your "Thanks" are appreciated. Your memories though are in question. I tried to have a match per month in the last tournament but found us taking two months per round. It started in Sept and ended in early Jan. So Christmas will for sure impact round two likely. So for now, I will again only plan 6 games in two rounds unless a major portion of players say's otherwise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slysniper Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 I have one scenario ready at this point and have two to go. Someone could help out by collecting the email addresses of every player and putting them on a list and sending it to me and it can then go out again to all participants. The game review can happen by saving all the "watch" and "watch and move" files after a game, zipping them and then send the package to me after the match, If nothing else I could forward them to those that request them. They could be posted on a site also but that is beyond me, so is making them into a movie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slysniper Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Hopefully we will pick up more but at this point I am willing to "call it go". There is no requirements on how many so at this point its just trying to get more interested before I send out round one, for no better sake than to add to the enjoyment. New opponants is always part of the fun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slysniper Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Also at this point, I think I will let you request grudge matches also for round one. In other words, if you found yourself on the wrong end of the scoring against someone last time and think you could better yourself against that player, let me know. I am sure the fellow that made good points against you last time would not mind. He might even try to get you to play him again. (Watch what you say now). It will be my call as to if someone deserves a rematch, might be playing some of the same guys again but I would like to try and give out new opponants even to the previous participants 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiaros Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 I asked another player to join the tournament. I hope he does. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 A grudge match...now that's an interesting idea. I wouldn't mind meeting Keith Miles again on the battlefield. Not that I have a grudge against him, on the contrary, he's a thoroughly nice person to get outsmarted by. Unfortunately our reigning champ doesn't seem to be around, maybe his Out of the Dust 1 mail address has fallen into disuse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slysniper Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Just a update, I have all three scenarios in process, one basically completed and two are still in the works. It appears we have no more takers but you all can still try and recruit more. It does not appear I will get these out early. So there is still a little time for more to join. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slysniper Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Yes, re-match against Dinga44 for the total defeat I suffered last time! I see Dinga is already hoping for easy points, Major Tum will need to bring his A game this time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
