Regretably, then, these things only start rarely. I (for one) would love to see more tournaments, if only we could figure out a good way of running one without needing scenarios that the combatants haven't seen before. I ponder this from time to time, and have some ideas. Is anyone else interested? GaJ. </font> 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melnibone Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 JPS did come back! Nearly finished our game - last message from him was he would be away for a fortnight - should be back next week I think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vadr Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 Was it SuperTed who ran the newbie tournament for CMBO a few years back? It would be good to have another one of those. Maybe we could make the Winners eligible for the next RoW? Just a thought. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Despite a very late start on my end today, have received and replied to turns from Ace Pilot and Kanonier Reichmann. Also, received a turn from shock trooper while processing turns for the other two.

MrSpkr Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Busy week at the office -- stealing savings from widows and forcing orphans onto the streets is very time intensive. Turns out to everyone tomorrow. Steve 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Kettler Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Ace Pilot and I have concluded our bloody business, and I have sent shock trooper a further attempt to exsanguinate his men. Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melnibone Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Excellent that will be my word of the day. Exsanguinate = To drain of blood I look forward to your AAR's John! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derivatives: consanguineously, consanguine, consanguinity, consanguineal. sanguinary: Attended with much bloodshed; bloody; murderous. Bloodthirsty; cruel; eager to shed blood. Derivatives: sanguinarily, sanguinariness. sanguinolent: Tinged or mingled with blood; bloody. Derivatives: sanguinolency. ensanguine: To stain or cover with blood; to make bloody, or of a blood-red color; as, an ensanguined line. exsanguineous: Destitute of blood; anaemic. Bloodless. Derivatives: exsanguine, exsanguinity, exsanguinous, exsanguious. exsanguinate: To drain blood. Derivatives: exsanguination. sanguinivorous: Subsisting on blood. Derivatives: sanguinivore. sanguisuge: A bloodsucker, or leech. sanguinaria: The bloodroot. The dried root of the bloodroot, often used in medicine. I will be attempting to include all of the above in my AAR's. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Kettler Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 Melnibone, Thanks for that etymological exegesis. Really made my morning! BTW, you may wish to include sang froid in that marvelous list. MrSpkr, Sorry to see you go, but have been there myself (RoW III). Hope there's no major crisis driving your departure and that you and yours are well. wadepm, Still humorously busting my testicles, I see. In honor of your AAR wit, here's one that shouldn't overtax you. Extremely Abbreviated AAR Row IV, Group 2, Section 1 Retreat from South of Vevi on the Road to Metemma while Squeezing the Melon in the Frontier Firefight en route to Things Going Bump in the Night (whew!) Kettler-?/?-Kettler I won/lost a (fill in the blank) as the (blank). My plan was to (blank) because of (enemy) forces and the (blank) terrain. This did/did not work because of (blank). This scenario (blank) because of (blank). I recommend that the scenario designer/designers seriously consider adding (blank) to the force mix and modifying the (blank) to relfect the (blank) and (blank). This should solve the (blank) problem noted both by myself and ? Would further suggest that given (blank), serious consideration be given to modifying (blank) and (blank), since these are artifacts of game engine limitations but were tactically exploited by ?, to my detriment. Sincerely, John Kettler Kingfish, Kanonier Reichmann has sent me a turn, to which I've replied.

wadepm Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 John, See if you can work in a combination of "Squeezing the Melon" and "Things That Go Bump In the Night." Who came up with these titles? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sincerely, John Kettler AAARRRGGGHHHH!!! John, you've just gone and blown the full lockdown on providing information on the scenario's. I propose you be banned, BANNED! :mad: I say from any further involvement with the tournament until you make a full apology for giving away such vital secrets on each battle. Regards Jim R. P.S. Just to let everyone know that I'm away over the Easter break so probably wont be able to send a return file until Tuesday. Have a great Easter.

John Kettler Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 Kingfish, Did you get game results for Ace-Kettler? Kanonier Reichmann, What can I say? The overwhelming pressure of not being able to say anything overcame me. Worse, I failed to catch the typing dyslexic mistake I made. Relfect indeed! Enjoy your Easter standdown, for your forces shall assuredly need resurrection when we recommence! Meanwhile, I shall update my AAR.
