I have filled six more slots with vets from SuperTed's Newbie Tournaments. The latest additions to the player list are Hoopenfaust 101, f1shlips, Silvio Manuel, Jim L., I-Man, and R.C..

Welcome!

This leaves only one more open slot. We're down to just a couple weeks until this thing kicks off, unless the designers want more time. How are the scenarios coming SuperTed?

So there you have it. Now you know who the enemy is.

Shortly before you begin receiving game files, you will receive a Contact List containing the email addresses of those in your section. You will also receive the schedule for your section. This will tell you who your opponent is for each scenario and which side you will play.

The German player will start the PBEM game with the secure file and password I provide him. In games where you are the Allies, you need only wait for a file from your opponent. You will receive your password and briefings at the same time I send the secure game file to the German player.

I have MANY files to send out. It will take days to get all the briefings, passwords, and secured .cmb files out to the players. You will probably receive one game's files per day for five days. I must work carefully so I don't send the wrong briefings or passwords to the players. When I get tired I have to stop so I don't mess up. One file to the wrong person and security is blown completely and that scenario is ruined for two people. So, be patient once the files begin arriving. Work on what you have. The rest will be coming in due time.

This tourney will be played under extreme Fog Of War. Lots of time and effort goes into making sure your opponents know nothing about your units, setup zones, and the contents of your briefings. Do not discuss the scenarios on the forum! NO AARs, DARs, etc. as others may not have progressed as far in a particular scenario as you have. This should be a fairly boring thread while the tourney is going on. If you leak scenario info, you are only helping the others to your own detriment. Mum's the word.

This FOW includes final game scores! No player should know any final scores, except for his own games, until the end when I will reveal all. Leaking final scores can tip your opponents off as to scenario balance. Think before you type.

If you have not yet done so, PLEASE read the last half of page one of this thread. There are some new procedures for reporting final game scores, submitting AARs, and reporting MIAs. These procedures are simple, but must be followed in order for me to manage 72 people efficiently. THANKS!!

I think Tourney I, Section Three may be the roughest section of all. The "underdogs", based on prior performance, would be Tero and White4. Also, based on prior performance, these two I would consider strong players. It's definitely a tough section to be stuck in.

Dear participants-to-be,

A WARM WELCOME TO RoW II!!

Please be reminded again, as indicated by TB155, that RoW II will have extreme Fog of War. Extreme. No discussions of scenarios, don’t post scores here, do not describe any tactics used against your opponent.

To the new participants:

Again, be reminded that we use the “Nabla” scoring system to assess your match-ups in this tourney. The “Nabla” does not need balanced scenario’s to score your results. It compares your game results with game results of other combatants in the same scenario. So my advice is: Don’t surrender your troops! Rather pull back your forces if all is lost. You might lose a scenario in a big way, but not as big as your buddies playing the same scenario from the same side. The “Nabla” system rewards you as long as you score above the “losing” median scores of the other combatants. True also for the converse.

Now enjoy the Boots and Track battles!

Regards from the co-sponsor,

Charl Theron
