I may be achieving the most spectacular victory since...well, uh, well some really cool victory. Or I might have all my little bits blown across the entire. Outcome slowly forthcoming. W2 vs B2: No idea still dark. And I think there are no VL in this game. Now what do I do? W2 vs C2: Leffe is running around and playing. It would seem that the lil pup has other orders. From our intelligence we have gathered, it is believed he is planting a new explosive called a "Slide Mine". Little of this weapon is known. Will post when testing yields results. W2 vs D2: It looks like, well, um...*shakes head in disbelief*...not too good for my feared Teutonic Sprinting Team. One of the team buses broke down on the way to the game and some of the boys wandered off when the chearleaders showed up. Damn kids letting their hormones get the best of them. I be lucky to pull off an Axis Total and Complete Loss. Turns are out. [ August 21, 2002, 01:33 AM: Message edited by: mike the wino ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

23 ItK 61 Posted August 22, 2002 Share Posted August 22, 2002 All right my boys, in apprx. 12 hours I am on a plane on my way to NY for the weekend and Dallas, TX for next week. I have notified my opponents of my back-up address via email. Forecast states 33C/90+F for Irving during next week. :eek: :cool: I think the only times I've seen 33 degrees C in here have been when there's a minus sign in front of it during winter...

Kuma of Finland Posted August 23, 2002 Share Posted August 23, 2002 Happy weekend everybody, I'm off for summer camp now Leffe will join me on the quest of the Holy Pike which lies in the depths of the lake Rusut, so Axis forces have a little bit time off. Fast notes: Dies Irae God, this is cruel fight! Putting soft against tough doesn't result very well... Arch Enemies So now there's some action! Fallschirmpuppies didn't run that far after all. My disquise as colander is really paying off, err, maybe even too well (looking a sad thing that looks more like Swiss cheese than anything else) April's Fool Advancing little by little. Am I really supposed to catch all the flags within the time limit? Where are my Kettenkrads when I need plenty of them? Mech. Bushmen Something happening... And it's surely not a result of schnapps! /kuma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we tcp/ip one evening to gain some time?The rules state that you should play all as Pbem if requested. If you'd like to TCP/IP some or all and your opponents agree there is nothing against it in the rules. This should be for fun... ...and glory and fame of course! I do not think that your CM:BO does not run after installing CM:BB. I do not think that BTS sends strike team to take you out for playing CM:BO after the launch of CM:BB. This goes for the rest of you also. I hope we can wrap this up before CM:BB reaches the stores but if not you have to play yuor games or drop out from the tourney. I mail to your opponent. I sure hope he replies. If not we'll have to figure it out fast! To Mike and Kuma: You guys seem to enjoy ripping each other apart so no further comments are required . To everybody: Those of you who haven't seen the Monty Python's Holy Grail and can't quote at least one half of the dialogue from memory alone I have some homework to be done.

Conscript Bagger Posted August 23, 2002 Share Posted August 23, 2002 Craig and Tero - are you guys there? If you didn't get my last file, let me know so I can re-send. To all my Axis opponents: I'm committed to finishing the tourney regardless of September 1 and 20. I will try to maintain a turn-per-day rate, but my schedule is unstable enough that I cannot promise more than that. I prefer not to play TCP/IP, partly because I don't think a tourney is the right place to do so for the first time :eek: , and partly because you would only become enraged at the amount of time I spend planning moves, watching and re-watching movies, etc. (how is that any different, I can hear you thinking).

Stoffel Posted August 24, 2002 Share Posted August 24, 2002 Lost Audacity at Audillion from Schemegg. Allied minor victory Well done,especially your last turns broke my resistance! At a few turns from the end there was nothing that could stand in the way of my 3rd victory this round................ But than I lost my armor one by one due to mistakes caused by carelessness But nevertheless a very exciting game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traject0ry Posted August 24, 2002 Author Share Posted August 24, 2002 Loads of feedback are pouring in as I hoped. I hope that you are not expecting personal replies as my time is rather limited to accomplish full scale correspondence with 24 people. Here are some main points and replies to them: Slow Progress I can't do much to prevent it. I WAS expecting some difficulties on this sector and don't feel crushed about the matter. Solutions: 1. Deadlines . I hate deadlines :mad: . No deadlines :eek: . 2. Creating groups for tourneys consisting "fast lane" with turn a day rate and a slower pace group for 4-5 mails per week and the snail lane for the slower players. Separate finals for all the groups. This too is bound to cause trouble but is the best thing I can figure out. 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. Arrival of CM:BB I rest my case. I will acquire a copy and play the game. Still I'm more attracted to west front as the east front provides way more difficulties in scenario designing. I hope I get to post the honours and send the rewards as this folds up. I'll run this as long as you are willing to play. If you think it is not fun we'll call it a day and my boss will see me doing some REAL work for a change... Feel free to quote this or just to post your opinions about the three matters above. These were the only things that showed in multiple mails. -T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
