:dead: i hate pod plays :crosseye:

Anyhoo, an idea just sprung to me, we should bet WARS points on matches :)
haha

As in I bet 10 WARS points on a draw between ER and AGCent.
Or a predictions page where we can make predictions on tourneys....

Nah i'm just babbling - work has been a pain and i'm not thinking straight at the moment...

But I will make some predictions, having just recently played KG_AGCent in the last round (minor each way) and playing ER in the GoH (minor my way) maybe i can screw up my eyes and take a punt :)

55%-45% To the attacker, whomever that is. :)

And there is a ton of good matchups here, not just ER and AGCent!

KG-AGCent vs ER Chaser (WARS Ranking 9 vs 2 respectively)
Victor Charlie vs KG-Thorshammer (7 vs 96)
RwCanuck vs Doodlebug (24 vs 14)
KG-Koz vs KG-Panther (6 vs 91)
GazNZ vs KG-Cloghaun (8 and 5) - should be the toughest matchup.
Scipio vs Arom Dov (20 vs 89)

Tripps, Mike69, NiG (1, 19, 4)

hey, tripps, nice idea. We can put on a pool and bet on the results using WARS points. :D .. As long as we have the blessings of the bosses :D ... Kerry, com'on.. this is serious business. CM session will be come Vegas in SZO :p ... And maybe there will be a full stock market on WARS in the future .... :crosseyes:

Well that was a mess. :mad:

Forget the QB idea for Rd5 after more testing it affords nothing like I wanted for this scenario. Trying to limit purchases & import units at the same time plus dealing with the way CM spreads out purchase points for Combo's etc was a disaster. :nuts:

So, I'm redoing the original formations. It will still be an allied attack at @10,000 pts.

As far as balance etc I'll be making assumptions based on earlier tests... yea I know, just go with me on this one ok! :halo:

And before you ask when you get the scenario and look it over: because I wanted it that's why! :p

Still trying to get this out by the weekend.

FYI- The championship scenario map = Rd 6 is done... :whist:

No. :nuts:

Sorry you couldn't afford my handling fees... :p
Ok, what about just a predictions page then? And it keeps track of how well your picks are? :)

Probably a good idea not to bet WARS points, because then unscrupled people like myself could be done for match fixing :laugh:

I wonder how many conscript Russian Rifle squads you can get for that....

Break Time from the scenario! :toast: :cool1:

No Conscript squads!
I dislike Con Sq's :censored: = win by mass not tactical skill to me. Although I guess getting those masses :kotz: into place takes some skill...

I prefer quality over quantity, especially in the CM system, although quantity can overwhelm quality here. :halo:

I see CM as a game of one players tactical skill vs another players tactical skill.
Not as a mass of units vs a few units but as players moving highly specialized units (whatever the situation) into just the right positions.

Obviously in this round with all the points there will be some "masses" but I wanted this to be a nice slug-fest. I did go back and remove all the "damage- craters, fires, rubble" since there will be enough of them quickly, and to limit the load times as much as possibile.

(Rd 2 of the CMAK tourney had 10+ minute load times & that was just Turn 1! With damage, movement, firing, dust etc that easily stretch to 15+ min later on.)

BTW- 10,000 pts= 42 Companies, 378 Sq's, @ 4158 pixel men (-Hq's -mgs) and, they occupy almost 1/2 of an 800 x 800 map. :crosseye:

Current point standings in the Top 16 Tourney:

ER_Chaser: 545
KG_Cloghaun: 497
Victor Charlie: 491
Tripps: 456
Mike69: 453
GAZ NZ: 448
KG Koz: 410
KG_ThorsHammer: 399
NiG: 389
Scipio: 367
KG_Panther: 336
rwcanuck: 332
KG_AGCent: 327
Arom Dov: 221
Doodlebug: 198

Most of the players still have an outside chance to capture one of the top 2 spots.
But it will take some 90-10 victories to get enough points to jump over the top 3 players. :devil:

So, it's going to take some good games by Gaz-NZ, KG_AGCent, KG_ThorsHammer & Mike69 to upset the odds on favorites! :nofear:


#1 ER Chaser vs #13 KG-AGCent
#2 KG-Cloghaun vs #6 GazNZ
#3 Victor Charlie vs #8 KG-Thorshammer
#4 Tripps vs #5 Mike69
#5 Mike69 vs #9 NiG
# 7 KG-Koz vs #11 KG-Panther
#9 NiG vs #4 Tripps
#10 Scipio vs #14 Arom Dov
#12 RwCanuck vs #15 Doodlebug

WHAT! :surprise:

Can't you see all the water right there! :mad:
The "fountain" is now UNDER all that water! :whist:
It was above it before that stray 300mm shell hit it!

It was a beauty too: 20' tall with a gleaming golden statue of a goddess, hands raised up in adoration to the scenario maker! :laugh:

What?! - Thats where the gleaming statue of adoration for Palantir, the 8th wonder of the world, the Goddess of beauty, pilgrim spot for millions worldwide, is?
And it's been sunk?

For Shame!

I bet it was ER, you should dock him 200 points for heresy :)
