Havermeyer Posted September 7, 2000 Share Posted September 7, 2000 Great scenario WBW. Friday night I thought I won it-- just a little mopping up. Saturday I wasn't too certain, and by Sunday I surrendered. Great emotional swings. Gave it a five star against a human (which is, btw, a generous characterization of Juardis). SPOILS FOLLOW!! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * I really could have used another platoon of troops-- two if that isn't too greedy. The tanks were nice, but before I realized it I was fighting for a draw as scads of new krauts started running in (plus their damnable armor). ------------------ "Two World Wars and One World Cup, do da, do da!" --British Hooligan, sung to Camptown Races Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juardis Posted September 7, 2000 Share Posted September 7, 2000 No spoilers yet. It is truly awesome as a double blind PBEM. The first few turns I was feeling good. I was advancing nicely then one of my armored pieces got bogged and Havermeyer caught a few of my troops in the open and sent them running like scared hamsters. I started thinking bad thoughts, but I managed to regroup and gain the slight advantage (I use the term advantage loosely because I rarely felt I had it). I was pressing forward, inflicting more casualties than taking and got a few lucky arty hits in. I'm smelling victory now. Then he takes out some of my assets and halted my advance. He counter attacked and a bitter battle ensued. I had to redirect some units to fight off his attack and I truly wasn't feeling good about the situation. In the end though I managed to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat (won't say much more for fear of giving spoilers). In one battle I went from feeling good to bad, to good again then to bad again, until I finally won. Much thanks Wild Bill. 5 stars vs. humans. ------------------ Jeff Abbott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Bill Wilder Posted September 7, 2000 Share Posted September 7, 2000 It sounds like one of those typical bloody battles you two are always involved in Thank you. I definitely had a two player type situation in mind when I did this one. I'm glad it worked out well for you warriors. ------------------ Wild Bill Lead Tester Scenario Design Team Combat Mission-Beyond Overlord billw@matrixgames.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
