CMBO- Final Round (6) "3 Months in France"

[Palantir]

We've made it!! :toast:

After 1 year & 7 months of playing :whlchr: the final round of the 3MiF Tourney is about to begin. :clap:

And where else of course could the final round of battling 3 months in FRANCE take place but in PARIS!
Down boys that comes after the battle! I said down, down!!!! :ar15:

Bogdan will be on hand after the battle to "escort" the winner around his beloved city. :hmmm: (yes I know, but you can ditch him as soon as you like) :whist:

Here are the matchups for Rd 6.

1. Antoni36 / The Warrior / Herroberst

2. Aston008 / Malm / Boff

3. Tripps / NiG / The Purist

4. Cougar-DK / Gunner C / airbiscuit

5. Gonzo / Bazooka Bill / Bruce

6. Full Monty / v. Kleist (they will play mirrored)

Good Luck & Good Hunting :salute:

Greetings Northern France Warriors,

Instead of random matchups how do the players in 3MiF feel about running the final POD's as ranked? 1/2/3 4/5/6 etc. 16/17 would play mirrored.
It might add some equal score competition to the final round.

1. NiG / Tripps / Boff
2. Gunner C / Herr_Oberst / Bazooka Bill
3. airBiscuit / Bruce / The Warrior
4. Gonzo / Aston008 / CougarDK
5. Malm / The Purist / v. Kleist
6. Full Monty / Antoni36

 

[Tripps]

I play NiG either way (grrr - let it begin!), but i just played Boff, so i would prefer the random option.

 

[Cougar_DK]

I like the first random drawing....

 

[Boff]

I like the first random drawing....

Me too!
lol :whist:

 

[NiG]

It's a final!!

As I remember we all agreed to playing round six as a final between the top two players (me and Tripps). I then suggested that if we were to be playing an extra game then why not let everyone else play it too... that's how round six came about.

By rights it should be all over now with someone being declared... lord and master!:halo:

3MiF was a five round tourney originally...

By random lot you will play and opponent of random quality (compared to yourself) by playing rankings then you have a better guarantee of having an opponent of similar quality to yourself. You also may have direct control over whether you advance a pisition in the tourney or not...

...so I choose to play by ranks

PS Boff... you just a wuss? :nofear:

 

[Tripps]

So, everybody pairs off mirrored for the final round to determine final placement?

1 plays 2
3 plays 4
etc?

Sounds better to me

 

[Palantir]

I run these for you so I'm up for whatever.
But- since we have an odd number we either have POD's & 1 mirrored or all mirrored & 1 POD.

Unless there's any further comments I guess we'll go with ranks: 1v2, 3v4 etc with the bottom 3 playing in a POD so everyone gets a competitive final round.

 

[Tripps]

sounds good to me

 

[Palantir]

Hi,

This one will be coming out by Friday do or die. I appologize for the delay!
We'll do the 1v2 3v4 etc. (unless there's an uprising).

1. NiG / Tripps
2. Boff / Gunner C
3. Herr_Oberst / Bazooka Bill
4. airBiscuit / Bruce
5. The Warrior/ Gonzo
6. Aston008 / CougarDK
7. Malm / The Purist
8. v. Kleist / Full Monty / Antoni36

 

[Palantir]

The file has been sent out! :clap:

It's time for the "Battle for Luxembourg Park."

Should be an interesting scenario. :whist:

Remember, everyone that survives gets 2 weeks of R&R here in lovely Paris after the fighting stops. :whlchr:
Try not to destroy too much of the city while freeing it ok.

Nothing like a little free time in a city wildly celebrating it's Liberation!

Good Luck & Good Hunting (and I mean that!)
:toast:

 

[Malm]

Long roads, lots of buildings, many places to hide, large map and a fistfull of grunts

That swell but where are all my bazookas, flamers and all that stuff thats keeps me happy

Instead I get Tanks - for what reason, so my opponent can blow something up :smoke:

Wait and see - in five more turns I probable get xxxxxxxx more tanks for Purist to blow up :whist:

Can I ask for a few more grunts :devious:

 

[Palantir]

Hey you want this one handed to you?
Did you read the briefing, & do ya think they're walking all the way in carrying heavy stuff?

By the way I suggest you enjoy these quiet moments during the setup... :whist:

 

[Palantir]

Hello Gentlemen,
I was thinking of giving out some tourney "Kudos" as voted on by you.
This can be done 2 ways- 1. email me or 2. post them here.

Ideas:

"Best Player to have PBEM'd Against in the Tourney" :clap:

"Toughest Allied / Axis Player" (win or lose) :ar15:

"Fastest File Turn-around Sender" :horse:

"Most Improvement," just based on difference between worst to best game score: so far this is Cougar-DK (diff 94) & Boff (diff 67) :thumup:

"It's not Over until it's Over Player" (he fought like a cornered bobcat to the end in a Major/Total Defeat) :nofear:

"Tactician Award" (Turning an obvious defeat into a stunning Victory!) :surprise:
This one will rely on the loser to post & tell the story. :halo:
Or winner to gloat! :devil:

Other Kudo ideas?

We have some time as Rd6 moves along and you can recall past games (might want to look over the Tourney page - rounds & scores to refresh your memory)

 

[Tripps]

"Tactician Award" (Turning an obvious defeat into a stunning Victory!)

Gonzo in defense during Charge of the Kings.

Slightly tarnished as we had to ceasefire before the true ending.

But from the sounds of it my arty completely thumped him, and then proceeded into turning sure defeat into a 51-49 draw in his favour.

 

[Palantir]

Have all the games began?

 

[Boff]

Have all the games began?

I've sent my first file to GunnerC but haven't had a reply or his first file yet

 

[NiG]

WE're off!

Tripps and I are away and running.....

I'm running away, and he's running into my secret weapon.. the Uber Jeeps! :devil:
*Knocked out a Hotchkiss!*

 

[Cougar_DK]

Just got home from a trip to Norway. Will get started asap.

 

[Full Monty]

Nothing going on here. I've been a bit busy so I've yet to deal with my file to send out. I've also had nothing from Kleist.
