slysniper Posted February 26, 2008 Author Share Posted February 26, 2008 A reminder on scoring Scoring for round one is 3 points for best score 2 points for second best score 1 point for third best score (for each side of battle) Weak side Battle victory 2 points if you are the only winner playing the weak side out of the 6 matches (51% or better score) 1 point for ea. player if two win playing the weak side out of the 6 matches So as a reminder - its how well you play compared to the others playing the same side, not if you win or lose the scenario - every percentage point matters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slysniper Posted February 26, 2008 Author Share Posted February 26, 2008 What is the secret to doing well, Good question. For each player that answer might be different. but you cannot sit back and just play for a battle win, you must try to find ways to win with the best margin as possible, not just play it safe, to do it without putting yourself at risk of being the guy that gets slaughtered, though your opponant will appreciate that as you see him score well in the tournament. In might mean to lose a battle, but to make the other guy pay more for his victory than anyone else did. In otherwords, just try to perform to your best, whatever works for you, do it the best way you know how, then hope for some luck and maybe some poor play from whomever you are facing. It is Time to Lock and load and Forward onto Victory 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil aka Major Tum Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Funny but its really not about wining scenario i.e getting the flags. Its about inflicting maximum damage and if you get a flag, then its a bonus. Kill, kill and kill is gonna be my motto this time. And I suppose its about the kill ratio as well so: A good kill ratio plus bonus flags? What do you guys think? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crow Warrior Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Just be consistant and out do the other guys playing the same side as you. Flags can make a difference. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil aka Major Tum Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Sly I sent my file to crow but the others (x2) i receive do not start with a briefing? Is this the case? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slysniper Posted February 28, 2008 Author Share Posted February 28, 2008 I have set up the game files, incorrectly. All of them. Everyone needs to stop until I can send out new files with it set up so both players get to have a set up phase, sorry guys. What was I thinking 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was I thinking Or we could forward briefings AND let everybody start with units where they are? We would all have the same advantages/disadvantages? Would be easier than you having to stop the tourney and start again? Or factor something into the scores? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slysniper Posted February 28, 2008 Author Share Posted February 28, 2008 No, just hold on for the new files 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slysniper Posted February 28, 2008 Author Share Posted February 28, 2008 All files have been resent, everything should be a go now. Sorry about the mess up. Please start the battles over so both players can set up unless you agree otherwise. If you have the 12th man, remember to send the files to me, If I get the 12th man I will forward them on to him, if not, I will play as the smart AI until something else is worked out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

costard Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Hi guys - n00b central for PBEMs here, so hang in there. Received and plotting setups, should be off in an hour or so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slysniper Posted March 9, 2008 Author Share Posted March 9, 2008 Time to log in, it appears all matches are somewhat going smoothly now and that everyone is in the mist of battle. Remember to keep me informed as to any issues and try to work them out yourselves if possible. I like to stay informed of slow play, but I also do not expect fast play even though some of you do manage to do a good job of moving the games along quickly. The goal should be to be completed about the middle of April for round One. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfish Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Sly, How many scenarios do you need for round 2? Is 35 turns the absolute limit? Is there a limit on points? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slysniper Posted March 10, 2008 Author Share Posted March 10, 2008 Kingfish, I have sent you a email. A reminder to everyone, after we complete round one, it is polite if you can give Kingfish some feedback on what your thought are on his scenario design, if you enjoyed the challenge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfish Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Feedback would be greatly appreciated, especially if it pertains to the size of the scenarios. Too small, Too big (doubtful), or just right? I plan on having 6 scenarios ready for round 2, even though only 3 are needed. A couple will be similar in size to those currently in play, and they get progressively larger from there, with the biggest at 4x the points total. All will be 35 turns or less, and yes you will have variety in terms of mission, forces, terrain and weather. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
costard Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Kingfish - thanks for the great work. The sight lines (or lack of them) take the action in close, more of a manouverability / short range support capability required. There should be some good movies around. McKay's Fortress is imposing - planning an assault ain't easy because you know you have to take the risks. St Saulon looks like it'd be nearly as good played single player vs the AI - there're some wicked natural features coming into play. I'm having to keep an eye on the clock in Devil's and Dragon's but it seems to present the defender with the challenge of covering the whole front with a low quality paucity of infantry - I hope. Having huge fun, hope you continue to enjoy making these scenarios. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slysniper Posted March 19, 2008 Author Share Posted March 19, 2008 One battle already completed and all I will say is Dinga is back and has what appears to be a strong score to post in one match already. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slysniper Posted March 21, 2008 Author Share Posted March 21, 2008 Does anyone in the group have the setup to post photos here at this site, it would be fun to maybe post a few shots as we get close to wraping up round one. I know I have never bothered with getting it to work. Bert has a Hero story he would like to post, there might be a few others. Major Tum tried another page last time, I do not think that went far, but I never did check to see where it finished at. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep sure did but didn't get anywhere - I would love to post the picture of me taking out a AFV at 196yards with a panzerfaust! against crow 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
