HarryInk Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 Maybe I'm slow but I've just discovered the Byte Battle site: http://www.algonet.se/~jim/ (Byte battles are 1500pt or less total forces on a small map with 15 or less turns; designed to be fought TCP/IP in an hour or less) It's a cute idea. Does anyone have opinions about these games or this style of game they'd like to share with others? They look like a good way to practice minor tactics (eg. clearing parts of villages, setting up support-by-fire bases for attacks, tank hunting, etc.) I'm hoping to test a few of the CMBO ones out from this the site this fortnight.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ales Dvorak Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 There were also byte battles at Der Kessel but under 1000 pts. I think. Very good stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryInk Posted June 9, 2003 Author Share Posted June 9, 2003 Yep, and (again) I'm slow but I've just discovered that Der Kessel ist kaput!! So, does anyone know where, if anywhere, the byte battles from Der Kessel have gone? Has anywhere else offered to host 'em? Does anyone else have copies they'd care to email me? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 Der Kessel (in particular Mensch) was actually the innovator behind laying down the framework of what constituted a Byte Battle. There is a solution in the works to make at least some of them available again in the (hopefully) not too distant future. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcm1947 Posted June 10, 2003 Share Posted June 10, 2003 Well I'm slower. Thanks for the site HarryInk. PS: Your name is funny. I can just picture hairy ink. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryInk Posted June 10, 2003 Author Share Posted June 10, 2003 My email is harryink@alphalink.com.au I've DL'd the byte battles from the Byte Battle site, but missed them from Der Kessel. Thanks so much for your help. CM players continue to deserve their reputation for friendliness. PS. What's the deal with the after Byte Battles. Did someone really seriously patent the idea or is that just a little bit of a humorous wank? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Posted June 10, 2003 Share Posted June 10, 2003 I am German. I don't even know what humour is. Das ist ja alles nicht zum Spass hier. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
