Treeburst155 Posted May 27, 2002 Author Share Posted May 27, 2002 Be patient, gentlemen. The scenarios will be ready on June 1st according to SuperTed. I will be sending the files shortly thereafter. Treeburst155 out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Visom Posted May 27, 2002 Share Posted May 27, 2002 Oooh, do you mean first week in June actually means June 1? I was betting on June 7 and then getting the scenarios June 8-10. I need to start preparing the bunker... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treeburst155 Posted May 28, 2002 Author Share Posted May 28, 2002 Visom, You will be getting the game files and/or briefings throughout the seven day period following the day I receive the scenarios from Boots & Tracks. To all, VACATIONS and BUSINESS TRIPS Now that we have the sections established, it would be nice to find out if there are going to be any major vacation/business conflicts between any pair of players that results in several weeks of inactivity. If there are some severe conflicts I will do some section switching. I should have addressed this issue immediately after I posted the sections, but I forgot. If you know you won't be able to send turns for ten consecutive days or more, anytime between June 15 and October 1, please email me. Just give me your forum username and the time period you will be gone. It would be better if you didn't post the dates here. Email is easier for me to work with than forum threads. Also, by keeping the info off this thread, the possibility of any "hanky panky" to manipulate one's section placement is removed. Only severe conflicts of several weeks or more will result in section reassignment. _______________________________________________ BACKUP PLAYERS Here is the list of backup players in the order they will be called to the front if needed. 1) Nemo 2) Beckman 3) Yankee Dog 4) Diceman Backup players should know that they may have to take up games already in progress. Both players must agree before a game can be restarted. Also, backup players should not feel obligated to accept a transfer to the front. You will not get on my blacklist for declining an opportunity. The list simply represents the first people that will be given an opportunity to participate should we lose somebody. Backup players who are called up, accept the offer, and finish the tourney, will become Rumblings Of War tourney vets in good standing even if they only play the last few turns of the games. This status simply means you will have priority over newbies for all future tournaments. NOTE: I will never be able to handle more than 72 players. I may very well have more than 72 vets in good standing at the conclusion of this tourney. Therefore, entrance into the upcoming CMBB tourney is not guaranteed, even for vets. However, future tourneys will not be open to newbies until vets have had a chance to sign up if they wish. _______________________________________________ It won't be long now. The invasion of Normandy is imminent. The Boots & Tracks guys are hard at work designing your little piece of the war, your own private hell. Can you emerge victorious? Treeburst155 out.

Kingfish Posted May 29, 2002 Share Posted May 29, 2002 Treeburst, Winecape and gang, John Kettler might not be able to participate in the upcoming ROW II tourney. I received an e-mail from him, via a friend, informing me that his computer has bought the farm, and that he is on the lookout for a new rig. This isn’t a definite withdrawal, just a heads up that you might want to get someone warming up in the bullpen. I’ll keep you informed as soon as anymore info comes my way. Treeburst, if I may ask a favor here, can you cut the rocket man a little slack and allow him a delayed start? He is a tourney vet of good standing, with both the invitational and ROW I under his belt. Let me know what you think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enoch Posted May 29, 2002 Share Posted May 29, 2002 Section Four 1) The Capt 2) Juha Ahoniemi 3) von Lucke 4) Wreck 5) Mattias 6) JonS This would be the Group of Death. I am sure most of you in this group are aware of what you are in store for. If not, have fun. I look forward to reading about the rematch of the Row I finals between The_Capt and Wreck.

Treeburst155 Posted May 29, 2002 Author Share Posted May 29, 2002 Kingfish, Tell John "Katyusha" Kettler that he will not be relieved of command unless and until, in his best judgment, he feels he should step down to prevent holding up the tourney. As a guideline I would say he should have his command post fully operational not later than June 20 so he can keep up. Treeburst155 out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treeburst155 Posted May 30, 2002 Author Share Posted May 30, 2002 Due to Real Life we have lost Pilgrim from Tourney III, Section Three. He has been replaced by Nemo, the first on my backup list. Good luck to you, Pilgrim; and welcome aboard, Nemo! It appears the invasion of Normandy has been postponed due to bad weather over the Channel. The rock solid, official invasion date will be June 6, 1944. On this date you will begin receiving briefings and game files(if Germans). You will get your contact list and schedule of games within the next few days. Treeburst155. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treeburst155 Posted June 1, 2002 Author Share Posted June 1, 2002 Mattias (Tourney I, Section Four) has had to withdraw due to real life. He has been replaced with the next officer on the waiting list, Beckman. Good luck with your new situation, Mattias. Have a great summer! Welcome to the tourney, Beckman! Treeburst155 out.

gunnersman Posted June 2, 2002 Share Posted June 2, 2002 Originally posted by Treeburst155: LAUNCHING THE TOURNEY If you are playing the German side you will also receive a secured saved game file in addition to the two briefings and password. By 'secured' I mean that the briefings have been stripped out, the game begun, and the passwords entered. By "stripped out", do you mean no briefing at all whatsoever? I ask because I would imagine there would be a briefing. And what is significant about a .cmb file as opposed to a .txt file. I understand .txt means text but what is .cmb?

Ricochet Posted June 2, 2002 Share Posted June 2, 2002 A cmb file goes in your “saved game” (or scenario) folder and the txt file would go in your PBEM folder. (what cmb stands for exactly I’m not sure but cmb are scenario’s and cmc are operations) If you’re the Germans, Treeburst will probably start the game choosing the Axis side and entering the password that you are to use and then save the game sending the saved game cmb file to you. (This way you couldn’t inadvertently choose the Allies see what they have, close the game, restart, and choose the Axis.) You’ll open the saved game choosing the PBEM option do your setup, press go, and mail the txt file to the Allies. I’m sure in the email you receive there will be both the general briefing (if there is one)and the Axis briefing either attached to or in the body of the message.

Beckman Posted June 2, 2002 Share Posted June 2, 2002 I understand the above. However, what is the protection from the German player, having that protected file, completing his turn and then mailing the file to the Allied player. All he has to do is open the file on his PC himself and get the Allied briefing. I hope there is a solution to that. Not that anyone would do that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THumpre Posted June 2, 2002 Share Posted June 2, 2002 If Treeburst is using the same system that he used the last time it works just fine and is very secure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treeburst155 Posted June 2, 2002 Author Share Posted June 2, 2002 Beckman, The briefings will be mailed to players separately, outside the scenario file (.cmb). The .cmb file the German player gets to start the game will contain no briefings at all. The .cmb file will be a saved game. Nothing can be done with it by anyone, unless they possess the German password. Even with the password, all the German player can do is start the game at the German setup phase. He can go no further because the saved file will ask him for the proper Allied password, which he will not have. Only a hacker type could cheat. Treeburst155 out.
