Good Question. The tourney goes into full lockdown mode the moment the first files go out. I will announce it here as a reminder. What this means is that no one will be allowed to discuss anything about the scenarios or game results with anyone else, even those outside of the tournament. Keep this one thought in mind at all times - if you leak info, even accidently, it may give another player an advantage which they normally wouldn't have, and it may end up costing you a chance at the finals because they ended up scoring higher. If you have a specific question you can e-mail me directly. I monitor my e-mail from work, so I can get you an answer usually within a couple of hours. </font> 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See my sig. I MAY however fight fire with fire, should I run into the tactic in the finals. If I get as far as the finals, my will to win may overcome my dislike for gamey play. That is, if I am up against that sort of thing. I will never be the first to use questionable tactics in a game. Isn't it RoW tourney policy that you can do whatever the heck the engine allows? I am not aware of any avoidable CMBB/CMAK gameyness that would actually turn the game (I rate the split squads issue as not game-turning). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been gone for a long time and didn't know about the issue of using halfsquads. Squad-splitting, even large-scale one, offers more benefit than harm because the morale hit is not big enough. I don't think the improvement is worth breaking into sweat, though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Enigma Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 huh, why would a squads morale break down somewhat if they were split up into there fireteams? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfish Posted February 2, 2005 Author Share Posted February 2, 2005 Say you were part of a 12-man squad, and were ordered to defend a small hill. Suddenly you were attacked by a thousand Transvestite Flamenco dancers armed with hand grenades hidden underneath their skirts. You would feel relatively secure knowing those 11 other men were there to help you defend that hill, right? Ok, now think of the same situation, but with only 6 men there to help you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PzTwt Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 I'd just think 'Lovely... more Transvestite Flamenco dancers for me...' Er - am I in the right forum? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwolf Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 We shouldn't hijack this thread with the split squad stuff. The one in the CMBB forum has all the info. Please post questions there (after reading it ). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, now think of the same situation, but with only 6 men there to help you. in that situation, i dont think any of the squad would be on that hill ... they'd all being running the other way ok so why would/is there morale hit if they spilt up but close enough to give fire support to one another? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think that, in a tournament setting, players should expect anything the engine allows. I will let my opponents decide just how far we twist the game engine by observing their play. If they play straight, I will play straight. If they put a corkscrew to the game engine, I will do likewise.....maybe....if I need to.

PzTwt Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Well, looks like I'm the only one who's man enough to admitting finding Transvestite Flamenco dancers attractive. Maybe I really AM in the wrong forum... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PzTwt Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 And all Treeburst wants to tell us is 'how straight' he plays it. Yeah right.

Treeburst155 Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 It's good that people know where you stand before a competition begins. This prevents lots of misunderstandings and general hard feelings later on when the intensity of competition is at its peak. I'm not saying I'll play straight. I'm just saying I'll play at least as straight as my opponents choose to play. Treeburst155 out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Kettler Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Malakovkski, Redwolf, a1steaks, etc., Am frankly touched by the level of support I'm receiving here. It would mean a great deal to me to be able to play in ROW V, would be a marvelous therapy for and distraction from my end of February move stress (house torn apart, freaked relatives leaning on me from afar; may wind up house sitting for a time), and would definitely make my insomnia more bearable. I live in Carson, California 90745(basically, junction of 405 and 110 freeways) and would welcome the loan for the duration of a CMBB/CMAK capable Mac rig mit separate or integral display (have Mac versions only of both games). Naturally, I'd take great care of the equipment provided (Beatty at Jutland grade understatement!). Please E-mail me privately or call me (Edward W. Kettler, Jr. listing in Carson will find me--even midnight my time's fine) so we can resolve the details and get this ball rolling. Yours in deep gratitude, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vadr Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 OK, well look: I haven't read the half-squad thread over in the CMBB forum and probably am not gonna. I led US Infantry squads in the 80's (Mech and Leg). I maneuvered the squad by fire teams in the assault and whenever bounding overwatch was called for, and that's what I'm going to do in the tourney if the situation calls for it. Gamey, not gamey; you have all been warned. Let's get Kettler a system and get this thing underway! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwolf Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 Oh well. Anybody with extra Windoze copies of CMBB and CMAK? I think I only have a stack of CMBOs. Maybe you should snipe a used $350 ibook, John? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treeburst155 Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 Mr. Kingfish, For the good of the tournament, I think I should be sectioned with Walpurgis Nacht. I had a list of reasons why this would be beneficial to the tourney; but, I lost it. So, just take my word for it and put me in Walpurgis Nacht's section. Please. Thank you. Note: This is not a request for special treatment. I realize you can't do this type of thing for everyone. So, consider it a request for special MIS-treatment, something nobody else wants.
