Col Deadmarsh Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 In real life, opposing commanders might've known a thing or two about their foe on the other side of the battlefield. How do they conduct their attack? What are their strenths? What are their weaknesses? I remember when I was playing CC2 (that's Close Combat 2 for those of you just entering the WWII tactical gaming world) our community was always talking about the top players, their abilities, what kinds of maps they like to use, etc. I don't think we have that kind of dialogue here partly because most of us play PBEM games and have yet to play the same person twice. The TCP players on the other hand have played many a game and have a better vantage point to build opinions about the top dogs out there since they've probably played them more than once. I'd like to know some of the people who I should be watching out for when I set up my next game. Why are they so good? What type of forces do they like to use and what are their strenths and weaknesses? Are they on a ladder or do they just play for fun? Open your mouth and share some tales...

rleete Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 A lot depends on your definition of the best. Most wins? Most surprising? Or most entertaining opponent? I'll take the later over the other two, any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Dorosh Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 I thought I was the ONLY Canadi....ah, I see. Forgot I mentioned it. I thought I was best at starting CM websites and then never updating them but leaving them pompously hanging in my sig anyway? Other honourable mentions: JasonC is best at "utilizing" BTS' bandwidth. Panzer Leader is best at talking about GD with me. Mary Tyler Moore is best at turning the world on with a smile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seanachai Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 Originally posted by Michael Dorosh: Panzer Leader is best at talking about GD with me. Mary Tyler Moore is best at turning the world on with a smile.Ah, Grog Dorosh. How you puzzle us. Firstly, talking about anything, even Groß Deutschland, with Panzer Leader, is a sign of mental instability. As for your trouble with MTM, there are many fine counselors now able to prescribe medications to keep you from 'smiling' too soon. Perhaps if you think about cricket while you and Panzer Leader are discussing GD, her smile won't cause you to return to your wardrobe in embarrassment. As for 'best' CM players, isn't this a topic for the Opponent Finders thread, or the forums on the various ladders? Ladder play. What a very focused way to direct your consciousness. Like a gang that was neither bright enough to be able to, nor stupid enough to want to obsess about their SAT scores; and lusting after belonging to the Chess Club, while disdaining it because they didn't wear leather.

Goanna Posted June 14, 2002 Share Posted June 14, 2002 Not to out grog you or anything but I believe its called and est-set (phonetically anyway) Berli is the best user of ineffectual smoke screens. bauhaus is the best at having a single turn that guts his whole match. Seanachai is tops at the whole Don Quixote thing. Persephone is the best battlefield reporter. Hiram excels at quitting games part way through. Stuka has the best co-pilot. OGSF writes the clearest, most concise AARs Kitty looks the best in her uniform, and YK2 the best out (if Persephones photos are to be believed anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goanna Posted July 4, 2002 Share Posted July 4, 2002 I thought you'd never ask. So that's 1500 pts at ten paces then? Or a scenario, perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
