schmegeg Posted August 24, 2002 Share Posted August 24, 2002 The Schmegeg Report: D v X Audacity @ Aullion 57 for D 43 for X This was my absolute favorite scenario not just the unit mix but the way the whole battle played out. Boy was I shocked to find that I do not have market cornered in snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. This one came right down to the wire each losing our last tank within seconds of each other. What a great scenario and a great opponent. This was my final battle for this tournament and I would like to thank all of my opponents for a great series. The main point I would like to point out is that there was no gamey tactics used by anybody in these encounters. And that all of these games has introduced me to individuals that I would consider friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prolly the very best I have ever played. Hope that Boyd does not read this topic . It would get to his head . -T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoffel Posted August 24, 2002 Share Posted August 24, 2002 LOL!! would Boyd be walking next to his shoes than?? Anyway it was a great battle even better than the Birds of prey and the Hello 2nd panzer battle(although I lost it) But its not too bad if you loose to an opponent who plays better. regarding gamey tactics,I really hate people who play that way. Ussually I quit a battle with a surrender and a thank you note if a player displays too many gamey tactics but only after a friendly formulated warning Fortunately (or should i say sadly)that happened only 2 times in all those years I play this wonderfull game.

Stoffel Posted August 24, 2002 Share Posted August 24, 2002 Hi Mikko, Even if CMBB comes out I will still finish this project with CMBO if this is what you want! I am sure all others here think about this the same way as do. Btw who was that lucky person........? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mike Posted August 25, 2002 Share Posted August 25, 2002 Originally posted by Traject0ry: Loads of feedback are pouring in as I hoped. Random reinforcement insertions Yes, they are unfair . War is not fair. As I'm a democrat I could have a vote (Yea/Nay) for fixed arrivals but IMHO as this tournament IS SUPPOSED to be about reacting to the surprises and changing conditions of the battlefield I'd love to have them included. Somebody has done very well in one of the games though his luck was so rotten that the promised reinforcements never materialized. Perhaps so - one wonders how many more points he/she may have received if the reinforcemnts had arrived. Remember that in this type of tournament we are not actually competing against our game opponents, but against the other players playing our side. So if I get reinforcemnts and anotehr German player doesn't then that's not fair on hte other German player - I don't care about hte allies!! I have no problem with uneven games - as long as my games are just as uneven as every other Axis players games so we Axis players are competing evenly. And lets finish this in CNBO - that's what it was all about to start off with - CMBB can be an excuse for more games!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryddle Posted August 25, 2002 Share Posted August 25, 2002 re: Random reinforcments. Keep 'em in. I like that side of the games. Heck, even false/misleading mission statements at the beginning would be interesting.

Caesar Posted August 25, 2002 Share Posted August 25, 2002 Mech. Bushmen (Axis W1) - file 07 sent 11 Aug. OffWhite, I didn't get this for some reason. Actually I haven't received anything from Jerry (Dies Irae) for a while either. Sounds like my email must have screwed up somehow. I have emailed all my opponents that I have not received turns from for a while to check. I going to rev up my replies a bit and reply the same day I get the turn to speed things up a bit.

Conscript Bagger Posted August 26, 2002 Share Posted August 26, 2002 Opponents, checka ya inboxes. Finally got to sit down at the computer after a weekend of hosting family and spending today at an airshow (it was worth the drive and the sunburn to see the Thunderbirds, IMO). Now for 3 hours sleep and off to work, oh goody. Allied C1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traject0ry Posted August 26, 2002 Author Share Posted August 26, 2002 Thank you brave souls for stating YHOs. As I'm running a tournament FOR you (though I get to feel the heat as well...) the idea is to get feedback and make decisions for the future. The problems you've been having with e-mail should vanish if you regularly keep demanding for missing turns. In that case a mail that was not delivered can be resent more quickly. Read the topic if turns are late. Many guys are polite enough to post here if they are away. Some are also clever enough to post if the opponents don't reply to their mails. I hope these things are sorted out without further difficulty. I've been away meself for about 40 hours (weekend off, local music video festival demanded my presence. Nothing happens here without me )and am catching up with the workload both with the tourney and in RL. Keep posting and playing lads. I like to hear from any sort of trouble you engage during the tournament as I know that some things are bound to bug you. Just splurt it out and I try to make things better. -T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are referring to the lad who managed a victory though lacking reinforcements it was rjohnson@invoqsystems.com who managed this in the "Arch Enemies" scenario.

Traject0ry Posted August 28, 2002 Author Share Posted August 28, 2002 Okay, Good job all and keep it up further. My correspondence is swamped and I'm drowning on the current workload. Damn'd RL! I'll get back to you on Friday (My day off and the bird will flap to see her granny!) and I hope to scrape up ALL the necessary time then to get this going smoothly. -T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At some point it will end. W2vsC2 - His (?) just killed one of my (censored). :mad: And his damn dog is messing all over the place.

Caesar Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 Mark, I sent you your turn (Mech Bush) and it got bounced back by your mail server. Apparently your mailbox is full.
