BTW, on the geography issue, I had no problem completing scenarios on time in the finals with KR and MickOz, even though I'm in the US and they're in Australia. If the will is there to complete the games in a timely fashion, it will be done, regardless of time zone differences. So I'd vote to allow geographical diversity to continue.

Actually, it might be good to allow such diversity in the first two tourneys, with the ROW vets, but go for more geographical uniformity in tourney III, with the untried players whose tourney finishing commitment hasn't been tested.

Wreck's Group in ROW I consisted of:

TabPub, Bimmer, Combined Arms, Juha A, Spanish Bombs, and Enoch. There was another (Tony Zalewski), but he hasn't played in an ROW tourney since.

Would you six like to make up a single section? Let's put it a different way. Are there any of you six who would prefer random placement to this "single section" idea?

As I made the first suggestion, I can only reply in one way - YES PLEASE!

If my memory is correct (not always guaranteed), there were no major delays in our section back in ROWI. So in our case the time zone wasn't a big deal (Well, all the others are Yanks...)

I'm sure we would have a great time again. Nobody isn't newbie any more (at least in CMBO :rolleyes: ), some are even finalist material already (some pressure to perform for You guys tongue.gif )

And we all have some scores to settle I believe.

So without any loudmouthing I am eager to show what pissed off überFinn can do! :D

ps. You better check out Chicago area tapwater. there seems to be some strange chemicals. Or knowing that, people there are drinking something entirely different - all the time! :eek:

You made it in plenty of time to this thread.

Sgt. Gold,

Yes, you are an ROW vet in good standing. You need to email me however, for organizational purposes. Subject: "Signup" In the body: "Sgt Gold, email address" Thanks!!

So, am I in or what since my email was not formulated in that manner ? ;)

The score to settle is 60-40 in my favor as the defending Boche in that Canadian attack w/all those flamey thingies....

I use a BRITA water filter. WAIT, I just read the label and it is made in Finland!! That would explain all the huffiness and posturing that I am doing! :cool:

I just brought up the Geography thing cuz I did...thought it would be neat to see who was the best in the region. Although, Berli and Rune live here too...must be the water....Juha was right...

Congrats Vadr!!

Have 2 daughters myself (3 and 5) and they are at the moment for 2 weeks vacation on my parents farm in Williston, the Karoo, 550km from Stellenbosch. The silence is annoying...

Sincerely,

Tsk tsk, tabpub. Just checked the scoresheet with medians! Remember the Nabla scoring system...It seems that in out group the median for allies was 32.75 so I'd say You still got somefink to prove :cool:

Ahh so You have to rely on Finnish technology? Don't worry, You are not alone. You might also have NOKIA cellphone too... smile.gif

ps. You saw what I can do with PIAT. Wait until I get a schreck!

In our group, I would agree; but in the tourney as a whole it was a favorable score for me as I recall.

Yes, I have a NOKIA. My wife has a MOTOROLA. Hers is better, but mine was free...you get what you pay for.

I still have that screenshot you bastard... :D I almost broke my computer that morning watching that 200m shot arc in! Yes, that "strategy" saved you from a bigger butt whupping didn't it.. smile.gif

Note to TB: The hell with the geography thing. Let us regroup the old section and fight this grudge match out. In addition, please give Kettler his own thread and call it "John's constant Update thread" or somefink. Please... ;)

I think the RoW I Wreck's Bitches Reunion Tour is a fine idea. Like any reunion of a classic, however, there are of course bound to be a few changes. It seems that the lead singer (Wreck) is off pursuing a solo project or something, as his agent has not returned repeated phone calls. Maybe he wants more money. And Tony, our drummer, hasn't been heard from since our North American debut tour. But the rest of us, it seems, have forgotten our little tour bus spats over the last bottle of Jack Daniels or the blonde groupie in the second row, and are looking forward to starting the next chapter of the long, strange trip. Tell the new guys that we get first choice of the groupies.

ROCK ON!!!

:D

Cpl Carrot is IN!! Excellent!

Those victimized by Wreck in ROW I will make up a single group. Considering the abuse Wreck inflicted on them, this group could actually be called a "support group". So it is written, Juha "UberFinn" Ahoniemi will once again take on five fine US players at once.

Below are the ROW I results of "The Wrecked" section for Enoch:

#We_Cant_Wait

TabPub 35 Zalewski 60

Gaspari 56 Travisano 44

Juha 40 Rohde 51

Enoch 26 Dickens 74

#Duel_At_Dompaire

Zalewski 45 Rohde 51

TabPub 31 Travisano 64

Gaspari 29 Dickens 71

Juha 41 Enoch 59

#Sounds_In_Night

Enoch 45 Zalewski 55

Dickens 87 Travisano 13

Rohde 58 TabPub 42

Juha 56 Gaspari 38

#Resolve_At_Ranville

Zalewski 37 Gaspari 54

Travisano 35 Juha 56

Rohde 18 Enoch 82

Dickens 84 TabPub 16

#Real_Guts

Travisano 27 Zalewski 63

Rohde 37 Gaspari 51

LOL!!! :D I love that, "support group" it is!

And so it begins... (whining, trashing, excuse-making, crying, namecalling and usual chaos)

Beware, Yanks. Even though You have invaded my country with McDonalds, that won't help You now. Prepare to be boarded, resistance is futile, Alaaaaarm, demarcation!!!!! [and there comes my nurse with medication] :D

And let's not forget that Wreck also bulldozed his way through the finals, winning all three games in convincing fashion....

Hmmm...that looks a lot like Jon_L's scorecard in RoW II, or Kanonier R...hmmm...imposters in our midst?

Yeah, well, you got us back pretty good with the whole Ikea thing.

Ugghh, some of those scores were pretty ugly reminders of plans gone awry. As for you, Enoch, I have some retribution in mind. I still lose sleep when I think of losing both Stuart/Tetrachs w/in 60 seconds, one to a damn Hotchkiss. Plus, that flame halftrack that rolled right over my Piat ambush marker without a scratch. Plus all that damn wire. Plus.... well, you get the point.
