Treeburst155 Posted November 10, 2001 Share Posted November 10, 2001 Here we go, gentlemen. This should be the last thread necessary for this tournament. How are we doing Mr Spkr? Treeburst155 out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fangorn Posted November 11, 2001 Share Posted November 11, 2001 The BER God doesn't want to finish the game. We're in turn 26 of a 25 +/- 3 game. Should be finished anytime now. [ 11-10-2001: Message edited by: Fangorn ]</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeAcH Posted November 11, 2001 Share Posted November 11, 2001 Just a little feedback from those that used our BER. Did you like it? Not like it? Did it add to your game(s)? Thanks, TeAcH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fangorn Posted November 11, 2001 Share Posted November 11, 2001 Yes TeAcH, BER usage was great in my games. I used it in all of them. Aside from the fact it won't finish my game with MrSpkr, I don't have any complains about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSpkr Posted November 12, 2001 Share Posted November 12, 2001 Sledge and are are doing a =/-4 BER starting in about two or three turns - I forget which. Fangorn's game just does not want to end. MrSpkr OUT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fangorn Posted November 15, 2001 Share Posted November 15, 2001 New results are in! I got a minor victory over MrSpkr in a game that didn't want to end... it feeled like a trench war... 58 vs 42 for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treeburst155 Posted November 15, 2001 Author Share Posted November 15, 2001 Congratulations, Fangorn! The game has been recorded and the standings updated. It's between Sledge59 and Fangorn now. Mike8g was taken out of the running by Fangorn's victory. One game left to go, with Mr Spkr as the spoiler. Treeburst155 out.

Treeburst155 Posted November 20, 2001 Author Share Posted November 20, 2001 OK, Mr Spkr, time to send off some turns. Treeburst155 out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sledge59 Posted November 20, 2001 Share Posted November 20, 2001 MrSpkr and I are crawling along at blinding speed in the final game. We are just entering the BER phase. This is a true milestone considering all the technical and real life difficulties along the way. The final standings will be extremely close. This tournament won't be decided until the last move. Even then it will come down to a few points at most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fangorn Posted November 20, 2001 Share Posted November 20, 2001 Hey Treebust, What happens in the case of a draw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treeburst155 Posted November 20, 2001 Author Share Posted November 20, 2001 In the case of a draw I have an extensively playtested BALANCED scenario for you. SuperTed and I have PBEMed it twice and I've also played it with MickOZ. I'm considering using it for the "Superbowl" scenario in the Wild Bill tournament. I hope you and Sledge59 do end up tied. EDIT: At one time, Kiwi Joe, the winner of WineCape One, expressed a desire to take on the winner of this tournament. If he still wants to, and the winner of this tourney also wants to, I would be willing to use my Superbowl scenario for the match. I will contact Kiwi and see if he's still interested.

Fangorn Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 Oh, it looks cool. Let's hope Sledge will get 70 points, so we can play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treeburst155 Posted November 21, 2001 Author Share Posted November 21, 2001 Tell ya what, Fangorn.....If you and Sledge59 don't need the scenario for a playoff I'll be happy to PBEM it with you if you want. A scenario can never be playtested too much, especially a "superbowl" scenario. I would send you the .cmb file so you could look both sides over in the editor and choose your side. That way we are on equal footing since I know both players' forces. I'm hoping for a draw in this tourney so you and Sledge59 can test it blind for me. Treeburst155 out.

Sledge59 Posted November 26, 2001 Share Posted November 26, 2001 Congratulations Fangorn, you’ve won! MrSpkr upheld your lead by earning 33 points vs. my 67. It’s time to confess that I hadn’t yet completed a single PBEM game before this tourney started. It was good fun. Thanks to Treeburst155 for hosting, WineCape for sponsoring, and all the fine players who completed the event! Sledge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treeburst155 Posted November 26, 2001 Author Share Posted November 26, 2001 Congratulations, Fangorn!! It was a great race! Thanks to all you guys for finishing the tournament. I was a bit worried for awhile there. Kiwi Joe, the winner of WineCape One, has expressed interest in playing the winner of this tournament. Unfortunately, he is having trouble running CM with his new Windows XP. If you are interested, Fangorn, you should email him. Maybe he's got it going now. I will be offline for a few days. I have to replace a motherboard and a few other components that were destroyed by it. Treeburst155 out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fangorn Posted November 26, 2001 Share Posted November 26, 2001 Woo Hoo! I've won by three points! Now I know what Bush felt! I want to thank Treebust and Wine Cape for sponsoring this wonderful tourney, and the players who participate. It was very fun. Treebust, I would be glad to playtest the superbowl scenario with you, as soon as you build your system again (what happened, the IBM 75GXP contaminated the rest of the rig?). KiwiJoe, here I come!

Kudos to all who completed it (I'm still irritated about chuckles and another player who shall remain nameless as they cost me beaucoup points), and especially to Treeburst and Winecape for sponsoring the tournment and being patient through my seemingly neverending computer problems from late August through mid November. Oh yes, and congratulations Fangorn. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WineCape Posted November 26, 2001 Share Posted November 26, 2001 Congrats Fangorn for winning WineCape II! Please e-mail me your full address details so that I can despatch the vino. Thanks to all participants as well as the ever patient #155 for his outstanding tourney management skills. Much appreciated Mike. This thread is at rest now! Best wishes and good luck to all in their future CM battles.

I'm looking foward to new tourney, as well as rematchs against the tourney's players. Also, I would like to thank Sledge, for teaching me never to play a setup I am not used to. If we have used normal troops, I believe I could have achived a better result in our game; Mike, for reassuring me the Brits have the worse inf. in the game ; MrSpkr, for remembering me that panzerschrecks aren't that good in the dark; Tincan, for some town defense techniques; Stug III, for the lessons I've learned in spearhead attacks; Chuckles, for the mechanized games info; tankbuster, for the use on board mortars can have.

Treeburst155 Posted November 28, 2001 Author Share Posted November 28, 2001 I'm back online now, my computer problems solved. I will be posting Fangorn's name permanently on my website as the winner of WineCape II. If he and Kiwi Joe should get together for a playoff I would be happy to provide a balanced meeting engagement for that game, if they so desire, and the winner would again be recognized on my page. Thanks again to all of you who completed the tournament. I really appreciate it. There will be more tourneys after CMBB comes out. Treeburst155 out.
