Kingfish Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 This is the latest thread for the Rumblings of War Tournament. Welcome one and all to the Rumblings of War Tournament. As with previous ROWs we begin with the Tournament Manual. This will describe the details of how ROW is organized and run, so please take a moment to read up on it. OK, first on the list: Deadlines The deadline for the regular season is June 7th. This gives you 4 months to finish 5 scenarios, so you do the math as to file exchange rates with your opponents. Although TCP is not a requirement, I do suggest looking into organizing a session or two with each opponent if at all possible. Exchanging one e-mail a day will require three days to complete one turn using PBEM. A one hour TCP session may complete 5-10 turns. AARs AARs are mandatory, as in everybody writes one for each game. A minimum of 5000 words and 30 screenshots...each. Ok, I was kidding about that last part, but not about the mandatory requirment. Look at it this way, you get to play in a very challenging and entertaining tournament. You get to play scenarios designed just for you. You have a chance at winning a case of the finest South African Wine, delivered to your door free of charge. What do we ask in return...feedback. Let us know how you did, what you thought of it, and ways we can improve it. We appreciate your feedback. If you need an idea of what we are looking for in an AAR, let me know and I can e-mail you a couple of good examples. Ace Pilot is now handling all AARs for ROW V. Please send these directly to him at: acepilot88(at)yahoo.com FOW The moment the first file goes out the tournament is in full FOW lockdown mode. Loose lips sink ships, and they also piss off the tourney organizer [Mad] . Do not discuss anything about the tournament with anyone, even your dog. If you have a question that is FOW sensitive, e-mail me. Dropouts & MIA The Nabla scoring system cannot handle incomplete games, so we require all games to be finished. If for whatever reason you need to withdraw please let us know right away. You will not be penalized in any way by informing us in a timely manner. If you plan on being offline for an extended period of time please inform your opponents. Also, if an unexpected problem arises that prevents you from informing us (computer problems), have a backup plan so that a message can be sent. In this day and age everyone has a friend or relative with internet access. Have them e-mail me explaining the situation. While we're at it, lets update our completed games list: Update as of 04/19/05 Wet Triangle Steve McClaire - JPS Nefarious - Yacinator Renaud - Stikkypixxie Vadr - Green as Jade ded vs Grimthane Green Hornet - Jbertles Elmar Bijlsma - mPisi a1Steaks - Treeburst155 Cpt T - Bigdog Peterk vs Walpurgis Nacht Tabpub - Kanonier Reichmann Kenfedoroff - The Enigma Simovitch - Stoneage Cuzn_JG14 - John O JonS - BigMik1 Malakovski - Paco QNS Sripe - Flammenwerfer Mick OZ - Steve S Ted - Lt Bull Andrew Kulin - Panzertwat Combined Arms - Frenchy Dangerous Dave - Michael Dorosh Pitt Panther31 - The Capt Sleekit - Platehead General Colt - Jim Crowley Artavash - Londoner Redwolf - Melnibone 27/36 - 75% Push to Maleme Stikkypixie - Steve McClaire Green as Jade - Green Hornet Vadr - Alkiviadis Gtimthane - Jbertles Walpurgis Nacht - Bigdog Sandy - Kanonier Reichmann Simovitch - Kenfedoroff John O - BigMik1 Cuzn_JG14 - Sivodsi JonS - DawgBonz Flammenwerfer - Malakovski Steve S - Ted Lt Bull - DieselTaylor FoxholeRob - Mick OZ Frenchy - Raketenpanzerbuchse Combined arms - Andrew Kulin Panzertwat - Merkin Muffley Platehead - GSX The Capt - Dangerous Dave Michael Dorosh - Skeekit Redwolf - Jim Crowley Artavash - Melnibone 22/36 - 61% Highlanders in Hell Renaud - JPS Nefarious - Steve McClaire Jbertles - ded Green Hornet - Vadr Gtimthane - Green as Jade Bigdog - Treeburst155 Simovitch - Other means Kenfedoroff vs Heavy Drop Cuzn_JG14 - JonS Flammenwerfer - Paco QNS Larry Thorne - Malakovski Mick OZ - Ted Lt Bull - FoxholeRob DieselTaylor - Steve S Combined Arms - Merkin Muffley Frenchy - Andrew Kulin Michael Dorosh - Pitt Panther 31 The Capt - Platehead Sleekit - Dangerous Dave Londoner - Melnibone 20/36 - 55% St. Edward's Sanitorium Renaud - Nefarious Jbertles - Vadr Gtimthane - Green Hornet ded - Green as Jade Walpurgis Nacht - a1Steaks Other means vs Kenfedoroff Simovitch - The Enigma BigMik1 - Cuzn FGM_Smashing - Malakovski Mick OZ - Lt Bull Steve S - FoxholeRob Ted vs Dieseltaylor Merkin Muffley - Frenchy Platehead - Dangerous Dave The Capt vs Michael Dorosh General Colt vs Melnibone 16/36 - 44% Across Moltke Bridge Steve McClaire - Renaud Vadr - Gtimthane Green as Jade - Jbertles Green Hornet - ded Walpurgis Nacht - Treeburst155 Stoneage - Kenfedoroff Heavy Drop - Simovitch DawgBonz - Cuzn_JG14 JonS - John O Sripe - Malakovski Lt Bull - Steve S DieselTaylor - Mick OZ Foxholerob - Ted Andrew Kulin - Merkin Muffley Frenchy - Panzertwat GSX - Dangerous Dave Michael Dorosh - Platehead Melnibone - Jim Crowley 18/36 - 50% [ April 19, 2005, 02:04 PM: Message edited by: Kingfish ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and then divided by half.

I just checked my spreadsheet and I don't see it listed. Please resend, and CC Rob in the e-mail. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nefarious Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 Been along time since an update frome me. Very near the end of Moltke Bridge, and nearing the end of Maleme. As for AAR's, None turned in as of yet, but I have nearly finished two of three. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nidan1 Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 It's great, that reserve players step right up and take over games in progress. I think we should all give them a pat on the back. **Pat, pat** 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawg Bonz Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Dawg Bonz – Group 7 Push to Maleme – 100% Across Moltke Bridge – 100% Highlanders in Hell – 96% Wet Triangle – 88% St. Edwards Sanitorium – 49% ---------------------------------------- Here I go, into the wild blue yonder, Flying High into the sky. Creatively writing my AARs While Flying High! "It was a dank and steamy plight da boys found themselves in at St Edouards. Their company names were painfully and hastily scrawled on the dungeon walls. These poor souls wanted some lasting testimony to the horrors about to be thrust upon them. As they feverishly attempted to bequeath some ‘makeshift memorial’ to their dilemma before death, the rumbling and explosions began. Panic quickly turned to rout. The dust and smoke was suffocating. The worst part was… 18 more moves! Yes.. they still had 18 more moves of St Edouards to survive. Was it possible? Could they find a way out?" ---------------------------------------- To be continued…. Dawg … of humor & humanities … and now work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Thorne Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Finished all other games except Moltke Bridge. I think you guys have been informed about this awhile ago. Also got return mails from all the scores sent in. I am slow on the aar process though only one sent in : I will get them done eventually. Have started all of them but haven´t finished.

Melnibone Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Dawg - before I read your AARs I will close the curtains, turn down the lights and pour myself a large one 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg Bonz Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Dear Esquire Melnibone, Delighted with your AAR, cultural critique, enhancement counsel: "turn down the lights and pour myself a large one." Alternatives include but are not limited to… "Turn down the lights and fire up a hot one" if you live in Oregon or other progressive jurisdictions. My ROW V AARs renderings shall be innocuous in witness of history. Sadly, my typewriter was taken apart when I was bored. I was chronologically @ 3 years old and had loaned my Spielzeugsoldaten to my friends. Being a "Dawg" never got much beyond this maturing but enjoy the Hell out of Life now! For your AAR zest, may I also suggest exploring the subtle yet potent single malts with a splash of Jazz? For your AAR pleasures… http://www.pbs.org/jazz/ And for that WWII Jazz mood enhancer: http://www.pbs.org/jazz/time/time_wwii.htm "Jazz in Occupied Europe" Through World War II, jazz — the music that German propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels called "the art of the subhuman" — stayed stubbornly alive in Nazi-occupied Europe, a bright symbol of resistance. When the Germans barred even the use of the word "jazz," the Hot Jazz Club of Belgium renamed itself the Rhythmic Club and kept on swinging. And when the Germans banned the performance of all American music in Paris, local musicians simply changed the titles of the tunes they loved: In the Mood became Ambiance; Holy Smoke became Joyeuse fumee; and Count Basie's Jumpin' at the Woodside turned into Dansant dans la Clairiere. Swing was the "magic word" for "young people everywhere," the French jazz enthusiast Charles Delaunay recalled. "Swing was on everyone's lips, you swore by it. Everything that was at all original or redolent of American life was baptized 'swing.'" Sincerely, Dawg off to swing .. in multitudinous manners but now for chow and after meal … Bow Wow & Walk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simovitch Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 Here's a photo I took of the St. Edouards Sanitorium on December 19th 2004. Whoever did the map for this scenario did a great job. I have some more photo's of the Ardennes if anyone is interested 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
