Ligur Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 Go Jim. I'm rooting for Jim Liang since he dropped me and advanced to the finals. Kick their butts, Jim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 Oy! That's my butt you're referring to! I'd like you to know I've grown quite attached to it, and do not take kindly to getting it kicked!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperTed Posted May 24, 2002 Author Share Posted May 24, 2002 There seems to be an issue with playbalance in one of the regular scenarios (The Long and Short of It) and the alternate scenario. So, I'll likely be adding a scenario to Round 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YankeeDog Posted May 24, 2002 Share Posted May 24, 2002 Just your friendly neighborhood bumpman. Actually, I might as well take the opportunity to gloat about my 88-12 domination over Austin Bowie in Long and Short. We've both sent our files to ST, so I'm sure the official posting will follow shortly. The battle ended in a forced surrender after turn 21. I don't care if the scenario is imbalanced. I'm still pretty happy with this result. We are still not done Crash Landing, but we have only six turns to go. While CL is going to end up being much closer for us than L and S was, it is clear at his point that AB is not going to make up his point deficit from L and S without divine intervention. Before the addition of a third scenario to the round was announced, He graciously offered to concede the round so that the tourney could move forward, and I thank him for that. AB's away from his computer for the weekend, but before he left he communicated to me that he will stay in to finish the round and experience more of ST's good home cookin'. Needless to say, he's got a lot of ground to make up if he's going to overtake me, but crazier things have happened. I look forward to and other superb ST scenario, and I look forward to smashing AB's forces to bits once again. Since we're the last to complete L and S, I guess it's open season on AARs for that one now. We're also so far along in CL that I don't see how reading an AAR from the battle could gain either of us any advantage, so I have no objection to AARs from that one as well.

Walker Posted June 1, 2002 Share Posted June 1, 2002 Come on guys, post your AARs. It's half the fun, reading how the others tackled the scenarios we just played! And you do realise our AARs are one of the main reasons why Ted devotes so much of his time to our little tournament, don't you? (that should do it ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YankeeDog Posted June 1, 2002 Share Posted June 1, 2002 Sorry - I am in the process of writing an AAR for my smashing victory in Long and Short. The text of it is basically done, but I'm trying to make this one really good (nothing like gloating over your victories ), so I'm going to add some pictures as well. I should have it done soon.

Darknight (DC) Posted June 5, 2002 Share Posted June 5, 2002 Defeat is such a strong word....I think "Draw favouring the German side" is more accurate.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm flattered. In the interest of full disclosure, I should let it be known that Austin and I ended CL with a cease-fire at the beginning of turn 22. It is not likely that the score would have changed all that much from this point, though. I controlled 5 of the 6 VLs at the end, but it would have been extremely difficult for me to challenge the last VL as I had very little ammo left. Now that I've seen the final map, I can also see that Austin had little to work with - probably enough to hold on to the VL he had, but certainly not enough to mount a counterattack. I did have a couple of his MGs flanked, so I might have been able to take them out and swing the casualty ratio a bit more in my favor, and I even had an outside shot at getting his last StuH, but that's pure conjecture. In any event, the final turns would have only swung things at most five points one way or the other. Hats off to Austin for being a good sport and a great opponent. I highly reccommend him to anyone looking for a friendly and honorable match. Just watch out for the wide flanking maneuver. So it's on to the finals. . .

Silvio Manuel Posted June 5, 2002 Share Posted June 5, 2002 Nice one, I look fwd to the AAR, if you're so kind as to write one. I'm quite shocked you got 5 of 6 flags, yet A.B. still had a StuH...its got my wheels spinning a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voidhawk Posted June 6, 2002 Share Posted June 6, 2002 I've been kind of busy lately, but plan to write some AARs for L&S and CL. In the meantime, I'm, learning as much about Silvio as possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly hope the rest of you will return the favor. As to his remaining StuH, it was immobilized, which explains my ability to avoid it and still get 5 of 6 flags. As such, I must admit that luck played a role in this one for me as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
