My third round opponent and I have completed our game a long time ago, does anyone know when the next round will begin?

That is Mangus I believe who is running the tournament. If need be I have the scenario and can distribute it as needed.

Good Hunting.

MR

[KG_Crimson]

sure if it's not too much trouble

[Mad Russian]

But we need to see what the G S site will do about finishing the tournament before I go that route.

I have set the games for Rnd4, they are on the Tourny page but for you lazy ones here it is on the board:laugh:

I have sent out the Axis turns out tonight, if you gave not recieved yours PM me.

I have tried to match everyone who has not played each other but we have one left over and i am afraid it is poor old Swing! If anybody wants to play him or if you have a friend who might be interested feel free to drop me a line.

Are we going to finish our games? Or do you have time for that?

If so then you need to email me the last files since Yahoo decided I didn't need my emails from 17 October to know.

Also, do you want me to do a scenario brief like I have on the 3 earlier scenarios for the players of each side?

I can do that or not as you would like.

I sent you the scenario briefs for HSG EW Black Pigs. I had never sent those out before. I am also going to post the first two scenarios used in the tournament at The Scenario Depot II. I will post them with the scenario briefings as well for anyone interested.

Am I axis or allies player for the 4th round?

Am I axis or allies player for the 4th round?
I was wondering the same thing. I've seen the list but it doesn't say who plays which side, and the list is no longer on the tournament page. I'm assuming I'm playing the allied side as I haven't received a file but would appreciate confirmation of this. Thanks

[setanta]

I'm playing the allied side in this scenario but I haven't got the password. Could you please forward on the allied briefing and password to my email address.

Round 3 Result - John Powderly vs Steve "Mad Russian" Overton (substituting for GenSchmaeter).

John Powderly, as Axis, won a minor victory with 1447 points.

Mad Russian, as Soviets, suffered a minor defeat with 958 points.

All three flags remain in Soviet hands. I don't think the Regiment commander will be too happy about this...

Does this game need to be reported? How should I report it? Should the loss go against GenShmaeter or Mad Russian? Please advise. Thanks.

[2054172]

Mangus2000 ha passed the info for round 4 to myself today April 15,2007. His stepfather paased away last night. Please e-mail myself welden@sympatico.ca any questions.

The win should go against me! That part is easy.

See how easy it was to beat the scenario designer?!!

:nofear:

Thanks for an engaging game JP. I enjoyed it.

[John Powderly]

The pleasure was all mine, MR. I learned quite a bit about the game and my playing style as well. Now, to complete my taxes and begin round four...

[Mad Russian]

I have uploaded both HSG B Guards at Klematina and HSG AM First Clash complete with both Axis and Allied briefing sheets on The Scenario Depot II.

For those wanting to make comments or to review the scenario for others you can do so there.

Thanks for all of the comments and observations that you have made on the two scenarios here on GS.

Good Hunting.

I'm playing the allied side in this scenario but I haven't got the password. Could you please forward on the allied briefing and password to my email address.You can set password by yourself. There is not preset password.

My game with Okimaw is on the go. Looks like my guys didn't have their Ready Brek before setting out.

Maybe not, but a full ration of vodka was handed out to BOTH sides, BEFORE this fight commenced!!

MR

[Mad Russian]

Is there a need for a seperate thread for tactics discussion for the different sides to this fight? You want to ask questions about "how to" anything?

If so, we will start them. If not then you can go ahead and bust heads!!

Good Hunting.

MR

[2054172]

I see you layed in the last round to help out...This tourney is short one player to play Swing.....If you can't I undrstand...I could fit him in if need be...seeing I don't know what is happening here so to speak.... I have not read the opponents notes or any thing like that.:smoke:

I could take the German side...I know too much about the German side to take the Soviets without that possibly skewing the battle for him.


LOL!!! He may want to check with JP about our match before taking me on. I am the designer of the scenario after all.....not that it made much difference to John he still walked away with a WIN!!

Good Hunting.

MR

[Stndrtnfhr]

I have tried to contact my opponent Weags2, but nothing heard. He did not respond to a pm, anyone have any news?

Stndrtnfhr Out!

I'm having a game with him too and haven't heard from him in about a week or so. I think he mentioned something about moving and work etc. I'm sure you'll hear from him soon, a pretty reliable opponent.

[antonius]

Myself and ada have now made a start.

[Cherper]

I am still waiting on my start. Got the allied briefing... just waiting for the file from the axis to get going.

My PC died and I hope to resurrect it by Sunday night if all goes as planned.

I have yet to receive the Round 4 Scenario.... Please keep in mind that I can still recieve email I just won't see it until after I get my PC back from the dead.

Could I trouble you to send Round 4 Set up to me again.

Sincerely,

Andrew

P.S. Neon, after my PC comes back from the dead and I get the set up file I will send it to you as soon as possible.

I have just opened up a thread called Black Pigs and GD...surprisingly enough it's about the Black Pigs scenario.

Those of us that have finished it will discuss the scenario. Tactics, questions, comments...whatever you want. It's your opportunity to get down and dirty with this scenario. The hows and whys of Soviet assault guns, the dreaded Katy, the damage or lack of it to the German defense, the German counter attack - the timing and value of long range vs short range attacks....you name it and we will go over it.

This is the last scenario of the tournament. I would like to thank you all for participating and making it a success here at GS. I know your tournament directors appreciate your support and patience with all the changes that have taken place during the time the tournament has been going on.

I would like to thank all of you for your comments and willingness to learn the game. Welcome to the best WWII tactical wargame available!!

Good Hunting.

MR

[Mad Russian]

Who is supposed to be updating the tournament results?

I see the tournament results for Rounds 1 and 2 but not for any games that have been finished in rounds 3 and 4.

Is there somebody driving this bus?

Good Hunting.

MR

[Mad Russian]

Finished my battle Cherper. This was a very hard fought battle. He was on the verge of winning this fight more than once. Being the scenario designer didn't save me in this case. Being a more experinced gamer did.

See the commentary about the outcome of our battle, in Black Pigs and GD thread, when you have finished your own battle.

I look forward to discussing this fight with you. I think that you will be in for some surprises about how things work in CMBB.

Good Hunting.

[John Powderly]

Forgive me, CMers, for I have sinned.

Work has become a bit overbearing and, accordingly, I haven't been on here for quite some time. I also haven't done much gaming. This includes Round 4.

I have committed the sin of not sending Kineas, my Round 4 opponent, a turn file in approximately two months. In fact, we haven't even started the game - I haven't even completed my set up as the Germans. I'm afraid I've robbed Kineas of (what I hope would be) a good game. I apologize.

It appears that work is going to get worse before it gets better. Therefore, I don't see myself playing too much Combat Mission in the near future. Please do whatever is necessary to make things right with Kineas. When things at work ease up, I will come back and begin playing again.

Thanks for the fun, and I'll be back when I can get here.

Does somebody want to step up and play Kineas?

Somebody that played the Soviets can now try this as the Germans without alot of big foreknowledge issues. You can see what it's like on the other side of those Katy's!!

Good Hunting.

MR

[Cherper]

If nobody else steps up, I will give it a go.

[neon]

I was going to play against KG_Crimson in the 4th round, but his computer died and them no one sent him the game file. I'll PM him again to see if he is still up for game, other wise I will play Kineas.

[Kineas]

Wow, I'm on the topic. Thanks anyone who will play me.

I have the game file and nobody has requested it or I'd have sent it to them. That holds true for anyone else as well.

Good Hunting.

Wow, I'm on the topic. Thanks anyone who will play me.

Yes, you're on topic. That's because we want you to be able to finish all the scenarios.

Good Hunting.

MR

[Mad Russian]

Well?????

Is anybody still playing the Black Pigs?

Nobody else wants to discuss it?

You've learned all you can learn from me now?

Okay.

If you want to discuss anything else we can do that. Tactics, equipment...anything other than QB's since I know next to nothing about them.

Good Hunting.

MR

[JML]

We'll i haven't heard nothing from my opponent Gen Schmaeter for nearly two months. Have tried to contact him couple of times but haven't heard nothing. Our game had just started.

I'm about to start playing Kineas.

[Mad Russian]

Anybody want to play this scenario with JML? I'm sure he would appreciate an opponent.

Good Hunting.

I am available to play anyone.

[Mad Russian]

You're a good man Cherper. Let JML know he has an opponent then.

I'm not the administrator here but I think we are pretty much on auto pilot from what I've seen of the GS tournament administrator in this tournament at this time.

If you need an opponent and want to finish the game let me know and I'll see if I can find someone to fight this out with you.

Good Hunting.

MR

[Bertram]

I believe your opponent is supposed to be Rickie. I've emailed him to see if he's up to the task.

Rickie is looking forward to your battle.

I'll need to know which side you are playing to send you the correct briefing. And what your opponents email address is so I can send him his as well.

thanks

Yes, I understand that. BUT I need to know which side you are playing and who your opponent is. Both sides get a tactical briefing and information sheet that is seperate from the scenario itself.

I answered your email and am waiting for your reply.

Good Hunting.
