CombinedArms Posted March 5, 2002 Share Posted March 5, 2002 I think the key with an unbalanced scenario is for the player with the weaker side to have an interesting tactical problem. I may have had a double issue in Nordic Wannabee, inheriting some bad positions and also getting what (I think?) were the weaker forces in 4 out of 5 games, so I was behind the eight-ball from the start most of the time. Still, it was a lot of fun. I'm not complaining! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treeburst155 Posted March 6, 2002 Share Posted March 6, 2002 I've been processing AARs today. Listed below are the number of AARs I've received from each player. If your name is not on the list I have no AARs from you. Look the list over in case I've lost one or more of your AARs. Thanks! Juha Ahoniemi-1 Kingfish-5 Tom-3 W. Moore-2 CapitalistDog-6 T. Zalewski-7 (half credit) Enoch-7 Holien-7 J. Sowden-7 Jukka Pekka-7 J. Kettler-7 L. Dickens-7 W. Miron-7 G. Redeker-7 C. Rohde-7 P. Svensson-7 T. Travisano-7 Edit: I mistakenly gave Tabpub credit for 3 AARs that belonged to Tom in section II. The error has been corrected.

John Kettler Posted March 11, 2002 Share Posted March 11, 2002 How much closer are we, if any, to completing the last game/games so we can finally see our RoW results and find out how we did overall? Regards, John Kettler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treeburst155 Posted March 16, 2002 Share Posted March 16, 2002 Wild Bill has sent me a scenario for the finals! I haven't played it, but I looked it over in the editor. Quick and nasty!! It could go either way as near as I can tell. The other two scenarios will be my creations. Now don't be too disappointed. Wild Bill has other projects that require his time. My scenarios will be challenging, albeit a little slow getting to the fireworks perhaps. I like 'em that way on occasion. As for balance, well, I really can't tell how they will play out. Maybe that means they're fairly balanced, eh? Remember, in the finals, you can earn a maximum of three points, one for each scenario. How do you get the precious point? You must score higher than the one other person who plays that scenario from the same side you do. If he scores 68 points and you score 67 you get ZERO points for that scenario. It's very competitive! BTW, disputed VL points will be split to bring the total to 100. You want to always think about your score while playing. You don't want to press on with an attack if you don't think you have a fairly good chance of increasing your final score by doing so. Then again, you don't want to be too timid either. When you think your score is as high as you can get it you should go on the defensive or offer a ceasefire. At least that's how I see it. Treeburst155 out.

Treeburst155 Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 Thanks, Tabpub! We're almost there guys! It's time to set a firm deadline on AARS. ALL AARs must be in my mailbox no later than NOON(GMT -6) on Friday, March 22nd. I will prepare the final input files for the scoring program at that time. I will be posting all the input for players to verify before I post the final results sometime on Saturday. The finalists' scenarios will go out shortly thereafter. It's gonna be a big weekend for me. EDIT: Actually TabPub, I don't have any AARs from you yet. Treeburst155 out.

WineCape Posted March 19, 2002 Author Share Posted March 19, 2002 Treeburst, I have 3 outstanding results (I know one is still being fought) in my MSExcel97 spreadsheet: 1) Davidson vs Gaspari [Kommerscheidt] 2) Pixelmaster vs Scot Johnson [sounds] 3) Warren Miron vs Pixelmaster [Kommerscheidt] Which 2 battles have produced results?

Treeburst155 Posted March 20, 2002 Share Posted March 20, 2002 The scenarios for the Wild Bill Finals will be: 1) "A Ranger Challenge" by Wild Bill Wilder. This is a new, unreleased, playtested, historical scenario. It will be secured to insure both players are completely blind. 2)"Der Berg" by Bill Hardenberger. With Bill's permission I have modified this publicly available scenario for use in the finals. It will be secured to insure both players are completely blind. The original version of this scenario is available for download at the Scenario Depot. I highly recommend it. If you are a finalist hoping to gain an edge by looking over the public version of the scenario, feel free; but be aware that due to changes made, the public version will only help you learn the map(LOS). You will get into trouble if you count on anything else being the same in the tourney version. 3) "Flag Rush Hill" by Treeburst155 This is a "CM Lite" scenario. A similar version is available at the Scenario Depot. It has been playtested several times against several people and measures up to my requirements in the "fun" department. Finalists will receive a standard tournament saved cmb file for this one so they can study the other side's OOB by playing the game from that side. It is only tourney saved to prevent the scenario from being modified. There you have it. I think you will find these finals games to be quite enjoyable. Treeburst155 out.

Treeburst155 Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 ...and the crunching of scores begins Here are the median scores achieved for each scenario. The first number is the Allied median, followed by the Axis median. These medians were figured AFTER adjusting raw scores for contested VLs. That's why they always equal 100. Were the scenarios balanced? The answer is below. We Can't Wait-39.5,60.5 Duel At Dompaire-46.5, 53.5 Sounds In The Night-57.25, 42.75 Resolve At Ranville-45, 55 Real Guts-50, 50 The High Cost Of Real Estate-40.25, 59.75 Crisis At Kommerscheidt-58.5, 41.5 More interesting numbers are coming.

Treeburst155 Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 Below is the input to Nabla's scoring program. It contains all the raw CM scores. Players should check this over to make sure the input is correct. I have been known to make mistakes. IIRC my last mistake was in 1973; but it is still possible I goofed.
