Treeburst155 Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 If you are staying with CMBO, and you're interested in more CMBO tourneys (ROW style), post here. I'm curious as to how many tourney vets we're leaving behind by moving to CMBB. If there are enough of you, well....something might be arranged. Treeburst155 out.

The_Capt Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 I have both and I'll play both TB. In some way CMBO is more "fun" than CMBB while CMBB is more realistic...in short it is all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holien Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 I would play another ROW CMBO tourney as it is a bloody good game. I am still learning CMBB and need some games against humans. Any ROW vets fancy a face up now I have a bit more time on my hands? H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Hornet Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 Treeburst155, I'm not a ROW veteran, but have been playing CMBO for a few years. I've only recently begun to play against human opponents ( last 6 months ) but have never found my way into any of the tourneys I see on this board. I've read the rules of ROW style tourneys (from previous posts)and would love to join in if there is another one. If there's room for an ROW newbie, I'd be interested... btw - I'll be getting CMBB, once I get my new machine put together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strontium Dog Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 I'm not quite sure what a ROW tourney is but I'm keen to find out. Strontium Dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treeburst155 Posted October 28, 2002 Author Share Posted October 28, 2002 Strontium Dog, See the first post to the thread called, "ROW II: Boots & Tracks Brawl (Part VI)". It's not far below this one. Green Hornet, There will be a CMBB Rumblings Of War tourney kicking off in early January with signups in early December. Acceptance of newbies will depend on how many tourney vets sign up. Vets get first crack at a slot. I will need 72 players. I will also need replacements for the inevitable dropouts. These will be called to active duty in the order they were put on the replacement list. Vets will again have the first shot. With the ROW II tourney I actually had to recruit to get 72 players. This may or may not be the case with the upcoming CMBB tourney. The_Capt, Yeah, I'm beginning to think of CMBO fondly as "CM Lite" or "beer & pretzels CM". I just wish I didn't have to keep swapping my CM disks in and out all the time. I'm PBEMing both CMBO & CMBB you see. Treeburst155 out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Hornet Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 Thanks for the info. I'll keep an eye out for the CMBB tourney in December if I feel I have neough CMBB experience by that time. In the meantime, I'll also keep an eye out to see if you end up doing another CMBO ROW tourney. If so, I'll be sure to get in line behind the vets.

I just wish I didn't have to keep swapping my CM disks in and out all the time. I'm PBEMing both CMBO & CMBB you see. Treeburst155 out.I'm actively playing both games right now and would cheerfully participate in a tourney with either version. One tip for TB and other who are playing both games: The CD for a given game only needs to be present when the game is launched--not the whole time you play it. This is for copy-protection. All the essential game elements are actually on your hard disk. Thus, if you start in CMBO, then switch to CMBB, as long as you keep the CMBO game open (i.e., don't quit), you don't need to have the CD in the drive to keep playing. So if you can remember not to quit either game, you don't need to switch CDs until you reboot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strontium Dog Posted October 29, 2002 Share Posted October 29, 2002 Thanks Treeburst155 Sounds entertaining. If you don't get enough vets then I'm keen to be cannon fodder. Strontium Dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim L. Posted October 29, 2002 Share Posted October 29, 2002 Count me in Treeburst155. I have not found the time or money to upgrade my computer to CMBB yet so I would love another RoW Tourney for CMBO. Thanks for thinking about the guys who got left behind. You're too good to us.

Treeburst155 Posted October 29, 2002 Author Share Posted October 29, 2002 Jim L., Yeah, I'm thinking of you technologically challenged ROW vets. Whether I can do anything for you guys is another story. It depends on how many of you there are. You would probably have to put up with fictional scenarios designed by me too. :eek: Then again, we could raid the huge selection of scenarios at the Scenario Depot instead. FOW would take a hit, but it could still be fun. Each player chooses one scenario from the depot. Out of that pool I draw five at random from a hat. Sides are determined by the Nabla scheduling program. How does that sound to you? Treeburst155 out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim L. Posted October 30, 2002 Share Posted October 30, 2002 Treeburst155, Sounds good to me. There are a ton of scenarios I have not played from the Scenario Depot. I would love the chance to play them against other RoW players. No need to let all those good scenarios go to waste. The only thing I would add is sometime before the final scenarios are drawn the players should disclose which ones they have played before so you can eliminate them from the pool. Requires more work for you, but...it's up to you. I'd pretty much be interested in playing anything and let Nabla handle the rest. That's the beauty of the RoW tournaments. Come on people! We need more players who are interested (seems like it anyway)! Post a reply now! Pretty, pretty please... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treeburst155 Posted October 30, 2002 Author Share Posted October 30, 2002 Another idea is to just edit existing scenarios enough so that we have brand new scenarios. IOW, only the map would be the same. Would they be balanced? Who cares? We have the Nabla System. I've read enough feedback about scenarios now that I'm fairly certain I could put together some fun fictional ones. The only problem is time. Take now, for instance. I'm supposed to be writing a manual for the Nabla Scoring System. Treeburst155 out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfish Posted October 31, 2002 Share Posted October 31, 2002 TB, When you get that manual done please send a copy my way. I'd like to add it to our ROW webpage. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
U8led Posted October 31, 2002 Share Posted October 31, 2002 I would be interested in playing both games via ROW. No better way to play CM. U8led Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanonier Reichmann Posted October 31, 2002 Share Posted October 31, 2002 Put me down as interested in a CMBO tournament still TB. I'm currently playing both games and they both still have their appeal in their own special way. Regards Jim R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WineCape Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 Just remember gentlemen, Those who still want to play in CMBO RoW tourney's will get older wine compared to the wine prizes in the CMBB RoW tourney's!

Treeburst155 Posted November 1, 2002 Author Share Posted November 1, 2002 WineCape, Hi, Charl! Good to see you posting around the various BFC forums. I'm just seeing what kind of interest I have in a CMBO tourney here. I'll be in touch with you via email within the next few days. We haven't chatted lately. Kingfish, I will send you a copy of the Nabla Scoring System manual when it is completed. Nabla is going to put it into pdf format, add graphs and formulae,etc.. It will be a team effort. I'm going to send him the first draft sometime late tomorrow. IOW, tomorrow is the day I'm going to ignore the forum and get it done. Kanonier and U8led, Great to have you two pros still interested in CMBO. So far we have some stiff competition in the mix with The_Capt, Jim L, Holien, Kanonier, U8led, and Combined Arms. Did I forget anyone? We also have some interested newbies. I'll be watching this thread. Nothing is going to happen real soon however. Treeburst155 out.

Shades Posted November 3, 2002 Share Posted November 3, 2002 I'm currently in the Fellowship of the Newbie Tournament and would be interested in playing another CMBO tourney. My system has been challenged with CMBB and the long timeframes between each turn's processing. Have to stick to small battles which can be a drag if I'm in the mood for some all out slugfests.

Treeburst155 Posted November 4, 2002 Author Share Posted November 4, 2002 I think it's clear I have enough interest in another CMBO tourney if we take in the new guys. I will be giving this some thought. If you haven't posted yet to this thread, and are interested in an ROW style CMBO tourney, please post. Treeburst155 out.
