Palantir's "One Last CM Tourney"

[[hirr]Leto]

One last CM Tourney

The Diverse Tourney Announcement!

Three rounds of CMBB & One of CMAK (non-historical).

I have a series of diverse scenarios (hence the name) ready & play-tested for your Tourney playing enjoyment. It's a chance for everyone to get real bragging rights over each other besides on the forum. There should be something for everyone to enjoy.

All are played on "mirrored" maps: more or less. with differences created for playing fun. You will be attacking & defending in each scenario with "diverse" units already selected for the map & mission. They are set up so that bullets will start flying on Turn 1 and never stop. These were made to be fun and not historical recreations...

Note:

1. If you can't finish a scenario (or know you are doomed) let your opponent know & "ceasefire" the game don't just disappear like a complete jerk.

2. If you know you won't be able to finish a scenario in the time allotted- don't sign up for it like a complete jerk!

Scoring:

Total vic = 15

Major vic = 13

Tactical vic = 11

Minor vic = 9

DRAW = 7

Min loss = 5

Tac loss = 3

Maj loss = 1

Tot loss = 0

(If you don't report your victory or finish on time you don't get a score- if your opponent is being a jerk we'll address that then)

All forces have already been selected for the specific map requirements.

Round 1 will start in August or as soon as we can & end 2 months later. (Small scenario)

Round 2 will start 1 month after Round 1 starts and end 2 months later. (Tiny Scenario)

Rounds 3 & 4 we'll see about in a few months, but should last 3 months each. (Large scenarios)

The only way to break the deadlock and gain control of the vital route is with another Infantry offensive through the valley, this time supported by armor.

Nice sounding tournament hirr Leto.

I was wondering if it were possible to also introduce this over on the Band of Brothers site.

I'll bet there will be quite a few people willing to join up!
