Top of the waiting list is also a very good position, since there are inevitably dropouts early on as people weight their real world commitments. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treeburst155 Posted December 9, 2002 Author Share Posted December 9, 2002 The signup list has been updated (see the first post to this thread). I updated it twice in 15 minutes actually, because I forgot to check my email before the first time. If you have sent me a signup email, check the list for your name. In TWELVE HOURS, the ROW newbies will be assigned ALL the remaining slots. As it is now, there will be some new guys who miss out. They will be placed on the ALWAYS tapped Replacement List.

Treeburst155 Posted December 10, 2002 Author Share Posted December 10, 2002 Time grows very short for ROW veterans to claim a slot. In little more than an hour the ROW newbies will be officially entered into the OOB. Treeburst155 out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nolloff Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 Originally posted by THumpre: Not if you are playing me, I believe I hold the record for nastiest beating taken in a ROW tourney [/QB]You underestimate me. Just the other day I suffered a major defeat against the AI-controlled Germans in a 1250 points QB. I spent the full 1250 points on my Russians and manually purchased 1 Panzerschreck and a truck for the Germans. Maybe I should have set the German casualty level to 50% ... :confused: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treeburst155 Posted December 10, 2002 Author Share Posted December 10, 2002 The Uberschreck strikes again! Are you sure you were playing against the Germans? I think you might have been going up against a Finnish panzerschreck. Treeburst155 out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolloff Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 You must be right! The truck driver kept taunting and insulting me and I didn´t understand a word. Must be bug or a new v1.01 EFOW feature. Nolloff 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CombinedArms Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 Great to be aboard for my third ROW tourney and to be reuniting over the battlefield with my old adversaries of ROW I! Cool all around! Now a question. Are we going with variable turn lengths or fixed? I'd like to make an argument for tourney purposes to go with fixed turn lengths. My experience with the variable system suggests that game length can vary by as many as six turns under the variable system. In a medium sized scenario, that can be a tremendous difference. One attacker might have 25 moves to succeed with his attack. Another might have 31. My experience with CMBB suggests that gamey flag rushes are very much less of an issue. Every attacker needs as much time as he can possibly get. And flag rushes are harder to manage in CMBB anyway because you can't just tell infantry--"cross those 100 yards of open ground in this one turn," and expect them to do it. So, all in all, I think there's more fairness to be achieved by tourney-saved games with fixed lengths (maybe 28 turns if the variable version was 25+) than by suppressing the flag rush thorugh a variable length version. What do others think? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treeburst155 Posted December 12, 2002 Author Share Posted December 12, 2002 I've added three more names to the replacement list. They are: 1) Sgt Abell 2) White4 3) Ace Pilot Combined Arms, Hmmm.....very interesting. I don't know if the designers have any variable ending scenarios planned for us or not. The fact that a game can go into "overtime" is not a problem IMO. The fact that this overtime can be VARIABLE introduces more luck into the battle. This is the issue, if there is one. Hehe....we have variable endings to deal with flag rushes by weak forces. The flip-side is that a late rush of even an insignificant flag can buy the attacker VALUABLE time. In fact, the attacker could leave a flag unoccupied that he has full control over, and "rush" it in the last turn, just to buy more time for himself. Hehe....I wonder if this works. Maybe some Boots & Tracks guys will chime in here. I'll have to think about this one for awhile. EDIT: I just did it. I rushed a flag on the second to last turn that was fully behind my lines and got the variable ending. This is something I need to make sure the Boots & Tracks guys aware of. Treeburst155 out.
