voidhawk Posted January 5, 2002 Share Posted January 5, 2002 The Newbie Tournament Web Page shows that there are still some scores missing for the first game in round 1. What is the status of those games - are the alternates taking over, or are scores being decided based on progress so far, or are they really finished?

SuperTed Posted January 5, 2002 Author Share Posted January 5, 2002 voidhawk, Ask and you shall receive. In the SuperNewbies bracket, Hobo and El Griz will be playing only "Down in the Valley" for Round 1. They just started and I don't expect them to finish until much closer to the deadline. In the Newbie Rejects bracket, Vitalis and Bobbaro are at the end of "Blind Man's Bluff" and have been having technical difficulties. Once they have everything under control, it should not require more than a couple file swaps to get it done. Also in the Newbie Rejects bracket, CombatGeneral and DStone will be playing only "Down in the Valley" for Round 1. They just started started as well. Also in the Newbie Rejects bracket, Bruce Bowes and Donkey Hotay are at the end of "Blind Man's Bluff" and should be able to finish things quickly. The guys that are finishing "Blind Man's Bluff" are all well underway in "Mighty Mouse." So, things are moving along at a good pace. I hope that helps.

voidhawk Posted January 5, 2002 Share Posted January 5, 2002 Thanks for the update Ted; I was particularly interested in the progress of Vitalis and Bobbaro as I'll be playing one of them in the next round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperTed Posted January 5, 2002 Author Share Posted January 5, 2002 The official deadline for completion of Round 1 is 1200 hours (GMT -6:00) on January 25. If you finish sooner, I won't be upset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DD_Rob Posted January 6, 2002 Share Posted January 6, 2002 Yes I'll admit defeat to Hobo. The super quick legs of his pioneer squad on my right flank proved to be the deciding move. A whole engineer platoon was destroyed in an ambush by that squad. Well played Hobo. Rob w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobo Posted January 6, 2002 Share Posted January 6, 2002 I am afraid the game was over in Round 1 when I took that southwest corner unless I did something really really stupid. Fortunately I only did a few minor stupid things and was able to hang on. I aam not sure if you caught this, but I actually blew up my own FO with an errant 105MM round. Also trying to sneak around your right flank to silence those pesky vickers was not my brightest maneuver. Fortunately I only lost a couple of men when you flamed that building I attacked housing a couple of your wasted squads. Thats was a pretty brutal move on your part. All in all it was a tremendous blast. Thanks Ted for putting this on. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfgardner Posted January 7, 2002 Share Posted January 7, 2002 After Action: Medium Rare (Eliminated "Just for Fun Games). Well, I've been defeated now 3 times (twice in initial round; once in "just for fun" games) and it sorely rankles me. Ted, there must be something wrong with the scenarios...I can't win one . Now for the after action of Medium Rare: THIS is THE SPOILER.... After slowly advancing His Majesty's forces to a forward hidden position overlooking the main thoroughfare, we came under intense small arms fire from enemy forces arcross the two lane highway. Suddenly, on our right, a platoon sized element of pioneers attempted an assault. Needless to say, the "Queen's Own" made short work of the german forces, relishing in our victory. After a short break for tea, His Majesty's forces decided to launch a counterattack, covered by smoke from our 4.2". The plan called for a feint by one platoon on our extreme right flank, to be followed by 2 platoons on the left, supported by all the MGs and Flamethrowers. The time ticked off slowly as we waited for a good smoke cover to set.......the first 20 rounds being the signal to launch the feint, in hopes of drawing enemy forces to the wrong side of the map. At this point, everything went wrong. An error by our young arty spotter resulted in our remaining arty rounds being HE, instead of smoke. As Maj. Widdlesworth looked on in amazement, the planned feint on the right flank went off without a hitch, while the all too soon disipating smoke on our left provided too little cover. However, al la Gallipoli and a sprinting Mel Gibson notwithstanding, the whistles having been blown, the planned attack by our left flank began. Through the heroic efforts of His Majesty's forces, a foothold on the far side of the road was established. Alas, casualties were severe and could not withstand repeated german assaults. The last surviving members surrendered to stop the merciless killing. Moral of the Story: Don't attack across the road without lot's of smoke. Signed: Maj. Widdlesworth Loser with 2 Oak Leaf Clusters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Splash Posted January 8, 2002 Share Posted January 8, 2002 Reporting in on the Mighty Mouse Olympics: Splash (G) Pfc Dunsel (F) Turn 17 Well I guess we were having too much fun or Unt Lumbach ate too many hotdogs cause Pfc Dunsel's AFV rose over a hill exactly where expected and popped Unt Lumbach in the middle of a chuckle or was that a burp I heard. Anyways Dunsel's 50 cal opened up and Lumbach buttoned up but forgot he had to shoot back or aim for that matter. I guess the mountain air made him a bit giddy. Presently we're readying for Pfc Dunsel's turn on the downhill - we've got a great view! DISIN ROSINE: Pfc Dunsel we feel like this is a reprise - an inevitable is about to happen -- you must come and visit us, you will come and visit us because well... because we have all the hotdogs. Bring our stopwatches back when you decide your ready will you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zitadelle Posted January 8, 2002 Share Posted January 8, 2002 Now that I am not constantly checking e-mail looking for messages from YankeeDog, I am having withdrawal symptoms. I need another CMBO hit, and I need it now! So, I am wanting to join the losers group with the rest of the alternates/losers. If anyone is up for a game, e-mail me and we will arrange it through SuperTed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
