Lou2000 Posted June 7, 2003 Share Posted June 7, 2003 Gents, Round 1 is complete and it is clear that the blue team have a comfortable lead Blue 7111 Red 5701 Green 3770 Yellow 3668 The tournament details have been updated -> NOWT Pages I'm playing a non-NOWT game against Jiggles at the moment using the planned settings for round 3. I'll post them once we have finnished and found any 'obvious' flaws in the settings. Good luck to those still in the knockout part of the tournament.

Apache Posted June 7, 2003 Share Posted June 7, 2003 Can someone just confirm - does setting up player in round 2 play axis (too lazy to read all the way up previous thread). That's the basis I've worked on, if I'm wrong I'll need to send a new setup to Athkatla. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lou2000 Posted June 7, 2003 Author Share Posted June 7, 2003 Setting up player gets to choose ..... perks of getting the most points from the previous round and for doing all the hardwork in the setup 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apache Posted June 8, 2003 Share Posted June 8, 2003 Apache v Athkatla now underway. Dodgy one this. Nice hills, few ravines, not much tree cover. Hope it doesn't become a long range armour duel with both of us too worried to move. Ah.......what the heck.........wagons roll!!!

CSM Hollis Posted June 8, 2003 Share Posted June 8, 2003 Wonder if anyone can help with a slight NOWT problem. I updated to 1.03 but didn't copy a 1.02 back up first & my opponents file is in the view only phase so he can't update it. Would a kindly soul update my last orders turn if I mail it to them? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lou2000 Posted June 8, 2003 Author Share Posted June 8, 2003 Sure no problem - send it over if you still need it doing 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

athkatla Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 No chance of this one being a long range duel. Myself and Apache are going hell for leather for the flags and if we are not careful we could be heading for a mighty head on smash in the middle!

dieseltaylor Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 I have been following this tourney since the beginning ,mainly because my brother is involved, and we have played some games using the same settings. However given that they are all apparently PBEM we have experimented with 3000 pointers [on huge maps]which take no longer to play than the 1500 pointers. The blessing is that with 3000 points you can get a balanced force with reasonable scouting artillery tanks and infantry. This 3 tanks and thats your lot leaves one very conscious of how much "lucky" shots can ruin your day. I recommend you look at the possibility 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefly Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 Firefly vs, Nestor back on the road after my return from Greece (researching for CM:AK - honest). Of course I've totally forgotten what my battle plan was, but it was probably crap anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveS Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 PJ (he had first pick and went with the Germans) and I have started our match and exchanged a couple of turns. The generator has thrown up a map with a central hill and two flags stuck on the top. There's a road which bisects the map from East to West and goes straight over the hill. Violence has ensued from turn 1 with both sides using the road for a bit of fast and furious action. Should be a suitably bloody affair. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lou2000 Posted July 1, 2003 Author Share Posted July 1, 2003 Bumping this back from the edge of oblivion ! Any updates on the current games (are they all still running) ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveS Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 Bump....just wondering how the rest of the games are going. PJ and I are slogging it out at a regular pace. Our central hill is now crowned by several bits of burning metal with Made in Germany stamped on them. PJ boldly went for the flags early, got the minor under control and a unit at the major flag, but it cost him a stug and some halftracks. I'm counter-attacking and have the small problem of a Panther to take care of at some point. Everything to play for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lou2000 Posted July 10, 2003 Author Share Posted July 10, 2003 Thanks for the update Steve .... I was starting to wonder if the games were still running Anybody got any thoughts about giving Redwolfs armour rules a tryout in the next round ?? Redwolf's Armour Rules The next round should be '44 .... it looks like the main limitations are German Panthers and Tigers ! Any updates ..... Any thoughts ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveS Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 That might be a sensible idea, if you go with the same force mix and armour pts. As the Valentine IX is no longer a cheap option the armour advantage swings more heavily to the German player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Juzzy Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 I am incredibly out of touch, can I look forward to a game soon? Seriously, how are the matches shaping up, anyone nearly finished? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveS Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 Well, from the other half of the draw, PJ and I are only on turn 10 and we have a two week hiatus coming up due to a holiday, so we won't finish anytime soon. We've had a reasonably dramatic 10 turns so far though. I've managed to retake the major flag so the points advantage looks to have swung back rather heavily to the Russians. The Germans will now have to focus all their efforts on that one flag. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lou2000 Posted August 2, 2003 Author Share Posted August 2, 2003 Sorry for the delay in updating this Wesreidau has gained a tactical victory over Gary Barr and secured himself a place in the Semi-Finals. Congratulations ! Still waiting for the results from Mr Byte Vs CMS Hollis and SteveS Vs Prester John. And also the remaining games in the runner up round. Have any of these games died off or are they still running ?? I've not heard anything from players for a while. The current scores and positions are here NOWT Any updates on games or player status would be good ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
athkatla Posted August 2, 2003 Share Posted August 2, 2003 Lou, Apache and I are still playing our runners up round, not very fast, but we are still playing 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefly Posted August 3, 2003 Share Posted August 3, 2003 Firefly and Nestor are still battling away in the snow, I've got a flag, but he has more armour left. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lou2000 Posted August 16, 2003 Author Share Posted August 16, 2003 Gents, I'm going to have to put a time limit on the remaining games - I need results (full game/ceasefire/surrender) for the current games by Sun 31 Aug. Then we can get the semi-finals underway and hopefully get the final played before CMAK hits the streets. Sorry to do this (and I know it the holiday season) but its nearly 6 months since we started and we haven't finnished the second round yet :eek: Lou 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefly Posted August 16, 2003 Share Posted August 16, 2003 Lou, does this apply to those of us in the also-rans part of the tournament? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I dont think there is a need to call time on those games .......but I'd like get the other games moving along a little .... there are some people who have been waiting for quite a while ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
