Battle of the Bulge Tournament - Round 3! Fight!

[AlbertoC]

Hello everyone

We're almost there - the Battle of the Bulge Tournament is about to start.

The first round will start on Monday September 12th at 11 am UK time! E-mails have been sent to the partecipants with additional information.



Our 16 proud generals are about to face each other. Who will prevail?

[IckieStickie]

This will be my First Tournie with Slitherine,i'm really looking forwards to it,and invited a few friends too so this will be a great Tournie for me! Thanks for the oppurtunity and Heres too a few more!

[Mylesmata]

Looking forward to see how this plays out. Good luck to everyone (and if you want to make videos / write AARs for your games, you've got one eager viewer / reader right here)!

[Barthheart]

.... My handle is spelled wrong in that list.

Good luck all. First tourny for me here. Should be fun.

[AlbertoC]

Aaaand it has started.

Capote seems to be having a great start on IckieStickie, but maybe he'll be able to reverse the tide!

In the meanwhile brucep and Delloknon go head to head against each other, but it's still too early to draw conclusions.

[AlbertoC]

Hello IckieStickie, sorry you've been having issues. I am sending you a PM as I'm confused by your posts, though.

[AlbertoC]

It seems there has been a misunderstanding: my comments were just describing the current situation, but the games of the first Round are NOT over!

Don't worry IckieStickie, that was just the first turn, you can head in game and play! I'll post a table with the actual definitive scores when the time for the first Round is over.

[IckieStickie]

Ok great stuff...hopefully it all unfolds ok..as it does feel like ive missed a Turn here somehow?

Looking at the back end, it looks correct, and the scores seem right for you both having played the first couple of turns in each of your paired games.

[IckieStickie]

Thanks shards and Alberto,yeah after a shakey start old ickie here got his knickers in a twist,but all unfolded now and its Game -On!!Hehe good luck all of you that made it here...and may the best General win!!

Hello dear slitherine staff and fellow commanders!

Thanks for this wonderful tournament, and I'm so happy to hear there will be more tournaments in the near future. Tournaments are fantastic, although multiplayer PBEM on slitherine's server is great too, but tournaments give the game a LOT of focus and intensity!! To tell you the truth, I bought originally Battle of the Bulge because of the previous tournament, so eager I was to take part! And I'm very happy I bought the game, it is really a great strategy game, I'm absolutely looking forward to "Drive to Moscow," and hopefully more tournaments

Cheers and good luck to all the tournament's players!

Hey guys this might sound like a silly question but if you lose your first match does that mean your knocked out?...

Yep that's how the system works, you lose a match you are history

[Shards]

Hi,

Actually, everyone will get multiple matches. The tournaments use a Swiss system to match you up for the next round and they use the points, not Win/Loss to calculate your ranking. So a narrow defeat could still lead to ultimate victory!
