flammenwerfer Posted December 30, 2002 Share Posted December 30, 2002 Review of Tiger Tiger Harry- Another ludicrous Tim "Ruined" Orosz scenario. I find it difficult to believe Tim has ever playtested any of his PBEM scenarios PBEM. It says it is best played two player, but that is only true if the German player is the family cat. The Russian player has nothing that can knock out a German Tiger except side on at close range, a tough ask for conscript crews without radios, optics or command especially as every Tiger shot is a killer. Your only hope is to hide near the back of the board and hope all the Germans bog in the damp. I know it is a 1 in a 1000 chance but its the best you'll get. You have to wonder about the blatant pro German bias of CMBB, and this is just one of many examples. If CMBB really reflects reality as boasted by Battlefront, 3 Tigers would have been sufficient to take Moscow.

rune Posted December 30, 2002 Share Posted December 30, 2002 I have asked Admiral to delete his attacks, on this one and in von lauchert. Obviously this person has a hard time understanding that a historical scenario has the actual forces. Silly me... maybe the Germans stopped because they did get bogged down, and the players that took out the tigers [there is another thread here] are wrong. Last he lies and states it says best played two player...no where in my briefing does it say that. Pro bias German of CMBB just shows you it is a troll. I suggest ignorinig this person, and hopefully Admiral Keth will see this and remove his postes. Rune 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demoss Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 Last he lies and states it says best played two player...no where in my briefing does it say that. He's actually telling the truth, although it's the Depot that says that. Apparently there needs to be a large disclaimer at the Depot regarding the side best played as.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rune Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 not the only scenario that was marked wrong. Mistakes happen, have no problem with that, but attacking someone still makes him a troll. Gee, I see no scenario under his name...surprising no? Last...several people and several sources were used in that battle. The only reason it is marked semi-historical is I could not find an accurate enough map. The lowest score before troll boy was a 7.2 and the highest over a 9. Yeah, it deserves a 1. There are trolls everywhere..i finally got one! Rune 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demoss Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 Now, I didn't say he wasn't a troll. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admiral Keth Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 Originally posted by wwb_99: If you dont like a battle, that is fine. Go, review, and say why. I have had a poor review or three. While I would not say I liked reading them, at heart I really do not mind so long as there is some constructive criticism there. Harry's reviews were just blatant personal attacks, and had little good commentary on what set him off and are fine examples of the wrong way to give a negative review. WWBI have to agree with everyone here in that these were not intended to be constructive or helpful reviews, but instead pointed and blatant personal attacks. Let it be known here and now that I will not put up with this kind of abuse, neither of the scenario author nor of the review system. If you have something personal to say, take it up with the author. If you have a problem with a particular author's scenarios, don't play them. If you, as a reviewer, have something useful to say, with the intent of aiding the author in improving their work, then by all means post a review, and be extremely explicit about what it is you like or don't like, and why. In the past I have been fairly lenient of the nature of reviews which people post, but since it has come to this, I'm going to begin exercising a little more veto power than before. If an author asks to have a review removed, I'm going to tend to lean in favor of the author's request, as long as there he provides a reasonable arguement for deletion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rune Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 Admiral Keth, As always...many thanks. Yes, it was nothing more then a troll attack. Thank ye for taking care of this!!! Rune 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laxx Posted January 4, 2003 Share Posted January 4, 2003 i think designing scenarios to please everyone is very hard. well, tigger tigger is an actual historic scenarios, so i guess the success expectation must be levelled. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holien Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 Hi, I have seen that Harry has posted another review on Tiger Tiger. Any chance of Adm K pointing him in the direction of the discussion here. While I agree the scenario is a tad biased towards the Germans it does serve a useful training role and can be won against the AI. Harry if you read his why don't you add into the discussion on the Tiger Tiger thread? I agree with some of your views but you are a tad harsh and were a bit personal in previous comments which is un called for. H 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rune Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 Again, the scenario is only marked semi-historical due to the fact I could not get an accurate enough map. The forces are REAL. A lot of research went into the tank mix, and I answered this in the Tiger Tiger thread. I again asked Admiral Keth to delete his posts. As for von lauchert, he complains it is marked best played two player. Look at my briefing, at no place did i say that....it got added in at the depot. I think Harv added some since something had to be entered in the fields...an honest mistake. Rune 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berlichtingen Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 Looks like you have a 'fan', Rune He ripped Manstein Cometh as well... and in that one, he managed to prove he hadn't even played it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoffel Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 who is this guy? what a piece of crap,I played it against the AI and in PBEM as the Russians,both times I won. I think its just another stereotype case of no understanding of proper tactics. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
