Captured soldiers are worth more points than enemy casualties. Move them off away from the battle zone as soon as possible. If you can move them off a map edge without risking losing them, do so That is correct. keep them alive and captured and your value for them increases, if you move them off a friendly edge, they increase in value even more. Do not let them get close to their friendly troops or they might excape. </font> 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonnyEnglish Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 * bump * How's it going for all the players?.. I'm greatly enjoying my 3 games (thanks Sly) & already had some nasty surprises - and made a couple of Homer Simpson-esque "Doh!" sounds with accompanying headslaps... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Originally posted by JonnyEnglish: How's it going for all the players?.. Well I can’t really understand your all moaning and groaning about ‘being surprised’ and slapping foreheads with an audible ‘doh!’ … Every time I opened a movie I was sayin to myself, “Go on, surprise me, please please surprise me!” but did I get surprised? Nooo siree, I did not. Not a single surprise to be seen, and believe me I looked behind every bush and in every depression. Speaking of which, I’m getting TERRIBLY DEPRESSED at how smoothly my plans are developing :mad: , it’s getting to be embarrassing having to add the disclaimer “Although the sender does, to some extent, regret the pain this movie will cause to the unfortunate recipient, he would like to point out that participation in this tournament was voluntary.” to every movie I mail to my opponents. HAVING SAID ALL THAT…the reality is, regrettably, slightly different. I have suffered some nasty jolts in every scenario, the worst being the first move of the bridge game … after all that hard work setting up CENSORED CENSORED CENSORED :eek: :mad: ! Closely followed by the bunker game…those bunkers are a PAIN :mad: and lord knows what other malicious surprises are waiting behind the next hill ! And not to forget the town game with that CENSORED :eek: CENSORED CENSORED CENSORED somewhere in the CENSORED! Woe, anguish, misery, despair…that’s what Sly’s tournaments are about! Thank you, SLYSNIPER, for the many once-a-nice-shade-of-brown hairs that have now turned a melancholy grey . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, SLYSNIPER, for the many once-a-nice-shade-of-brown hairs that have now turned a melancholy grey . I will have to defend myself here by saying it was not my goal to make Walker Gray before his time. I will have to admit he has drawn the hard side to play along with 4 others facing the same scenarios from the same side. :eek: Hopefully no one feels that their battle is going to easy, either side. I like the feeling of a challenging situation in the games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slysniper Posted October 12, 2006 Author Share Posted October 12, 2006 While I am here, a reminder for all, that by the end of this week end you should have all your games to at least turn 8, and that is at the slowest acceptable pace. I know some are much farther than that but I have a few that might be having problems keeping that pace. Let me know if you are having problems with someone at this point, but as far as I know at this point there is no issues I know of that we cannot work with. please keep me informed though so I can judge any issues as we go on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dinga44 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 HA...Walker what are you talking about...I've met you and you are greyer than my 94 year old nan And I second every single good comment about these games so far. They are up there with the best Great diversity, and all VERY challenging. I've suffered my fair share of surprises and "DOH!" moments, and loved every one of them...hopefully I've given a few "DOH!" moments to my opponents 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiaros Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 I agree the scenarios are all very challenging and well designed. They cover a wide variety of situations on the battlefied and I was surprised to find out that I am doing good in all three scenarios, still learning many things. The "Hills" scenario however is my favourite...the type of battle I am excited to do! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K.A. Miles Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Hello all, I'd like to extend my sincere apologies to all the folks who attempted to contact me about this new tourney. I'm sorry I never got around to responding to you. Work/life has been hectic, to say the least, and my CM PBEM participation isn't the only interest in my life that has been suffering as a result. That said, I'm delighted to hear that good old CMBO is still attracting enough interest for an event like this, and that the event seems to be going well so far. Everyone watch out for Walker, because he's a tough opponent to face. Just when you think he's gonna go CENSORED, he CENSORED toward the CENSORED. Then, he goes ahead and CENSORED anyway. Ghastly frustrating, so I'm sure he'll be giving a few gray hairs in return. Do keep me in mind for Out of the Dust III. Hopefully life will wind down..... sometime. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinga44 Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Ah Miles, good to see you are still about. You are missing out of some fabulous scenarios...perhaps you may be able to get Slysniper to forward them to you at some stage so you can have a go at them when you get the chance Slysniper, all my games are progressing well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil aka Major Tum Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 All games progressing well - hopefully I am giving Dinga a run-for-his-money this time! Walker has played like a true vet but plenty of turns left. Johnny has a hard job! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slysniper Posted October 20, 2006 Author Share Posted October 20, 2006 First, I just wanted to post the names of each present Scenario, it is in the game files but no-one has used them when dicussing the games. Second, Lets hear from you as to which one is your favorite so far, Remember to not leak information at the moment that could affect other battles. Third, Note in my profile my new email address, please use this to contact me or when sending in results, also remember I do prefer the last game file sent over a print screen of the score. Also both players to send the file, not just one. My old address is still working but I cannot tell you for how long. Round One matches Scenario A - Should have blown that Bridge Scenario B - Unlucky Company B Scenario C - Brick & Mortar forest 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crow Warrior Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 My Round One matches are progressing nicely. Scenario A - Should have blown that Bridge Crow vs Mikado We have two more rounds left to play in this one. Scenario B - Unlucky Company B Crow vs ShellShock I think this one is on round 17 Scenario C - Brick & Mortar forest Crow vs Bert I believe we are on round 13. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bert Hamoen Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Hard to tell. I think I'm doing fairly OK (that means: not losing heavily), but you never know whether our esteemed scenariodesigner, or my opponents for that matter, has a surprise up his sleeve which will throw everything up and over. I think I'll only know for sure when the games are (almost) over. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
