But fly away hair!

What is the deadline for completion of this round? I still have not received a turn from Sleet.
Fair winds,
Phil

I remember 20 DAYS was estated as deadline for every round somewhere along the tournament rules discussion. Probably paulolszanski2 can confirm, if available.


Cheers

Game between hidde and Logan5 finished.
Allied wins for both. All flags taken and German forces wiped out. Allied losses for me, 8 and for Logan5, 13.

About third round; I have only played Desert Rats (as I guess it must be) once as the Brits. It's my impression this is another heavily one-sided scenario.
If I'm wrong, fine but otherwise maybe we could think of some other scenario?

Congrats hidde!

I have played it several times and i find it easier with Allies (depending on skill of opponent of course). A proper mobilde defense set up here gives you good chances for victory. And i have seen some people complaining about the opposite (too hard for Allies).

All in all, i think is probably the most balanced of the three played so far. But of course, there are some others maybe a bit more balanced than this (Close Combat or Winter Village for example). I wouldn´t mind to change it, but in my opinion, not really that necesary.

Ok, I'll take your word for it. I must have botched my only attempt.
Accidentally the scenarios you mention are two of my favorites

What i should have done is just assume that everything would be wiped out and try to kill more of your units.. I was trying to hide and survive, good game. Btw, Desert Rats I think was also very 1 sided.

Nice job, sailor!
Perhaps there should be a column for scenarios. I mean, two wins means that you have won 2-4 of the scenarios.
A way to differentiate between players with the same points.

Just heard from Sleet. He has been ill, so we should be able to start our games shortly.

Indeed, sorry for the delay, got the map pack installed and am getting these games going.
good luck all.

also, thanks to Shawnt63 for the games and putting up with my delays! Great sport.

Salute.

Hi Folks

Arminius and I are just one turn left from finishing our second game, and results are as follows :

Game 1

Allies (Acererak) 8 FLAGS 35 kills 11 losses

Game 2

Allies (Arminius) 8 FLAGS 29 KILLS 12 losses


Since 35 kills on Axis is total wipe out, no matter what happens in this last turn, i believe i am the winner and go for next round.

Thanks Arminius for very nice games, tight to the end. Great playing on your side. I salute you


PD : This MP scenario (D-Day+3) needs some rebalancing badly, as estated already in Beta forums

PD2 : Do we all agree on Desert Rats Beta 2 version as next Round scenario or anyone proposes any alternatives?

Any progress with the remaining games?

SailingGuy and I are duking it out.
Tough bout for the Canucks.

The way turns are going back and forth, I think we will be done in a couple of days.
Great games too.

Thanks. Good to hear.

Sleet is going to win both scenarios, so he will be pressing on.

I'll continue to update the standings.

Thanks for the games SailingGuy, lots of fun. Some interesting outcomes on opportunity fire for both sides.

Very nice of you Captain!! Wish you more luck in the next tournament. By the way, would be great if we get your "Bridge too far" suggestion rolling

So, for those of us still standing....are we continuing with Desert Rats Beta 2 then?

If that is so, Hidde, please feel free to set up games and send me the passwords at your convenience
