Okay then. The 6th and final round for the KOTH2 tournament has started. Stndrtnfhr will play [hirr]Leto.

Unfortunately, Acre has to withdraw from the tournament due to RL issues.

The last round of the scenario will consist of

HSG EW Witches Cauldron - a battle set inside Berlin

SB Belgian Waffle 1940 - a battle in Belgium in 1940.

HSG 21AG Achtung! - a battle inside Brussels, Belgium.

Two battles set in Belgium and one in Berlin. The round of "B cubed"......Razz

The scenarios were locked, this time effectively, to forgo the POS cheating solution, and will have that feature in all my future tournaments. Thanks to WeBoB for the work around for that.

Good Luck and Good Hunting to you both.

MR

Thanks Stndrtnfhr, you were no doubt my toughest opponent. So it's only fitting I fall to you, hats off.

MR, thanks again for running this tourney, I had a lot of fun participating. Excellent job with the scenarios. I know it's tough to come up with new, different, and challenging scenarios.

Good luck to everybody in the Masters tourney. But if you end playing me I hope your luck runs out hehe. Razz

The final four showdown is between:

Standartenfuhrer (11-1) vs MeatEtr (9-3)

Leto (11-1) vs Acre (11-1)

The scenarios cover:

The first ever armor clash between two full strength armored units in Poland in 1939.

A Soviet breakthrough in the Destruction of Army Group Center.

A attack on the Komsomolets State Farm at Kursk.

Each of these is very different than what you would normally play.

Good Luck and Good Hunting.

Thanks for keeping us updated with the emails Steve, it's appreciated.

Regardless of whether I advance to the final. I've had a blast playing in this tournament so far. I've been against some great players in some excellent scenarios.

So I'm very much looking forward to the final four showdown.

Quick review: the scenarios are not for those who want straight on balanced fights, but for those who want to use their minds a bit more and think innovatively. IMHO, each scenario was well balanced, but for players that just wish to have huge clashes with little strategic and tactical input other than point and click, you will most likely be dissappointed.

The balance in each scenario is there, but need to be sought out by the innovative player.

Cheers!

Leto


As the tournament moves into the later rounds the scenarios are intended to be more finely balanced. The tools are there to win each scenario. The obvious answer in these battles is not always the way to win and there are no straight up frontal assaults in this group of scenarios.

I think they are balanced but as with most of my scenarios you have a balance of strengths and weaknesses. You must use your strengths as well as you can to offset your weaknesses. Each side has the same dilemma. These battles are not mirrored in the normal definition of the word. They are mirrored in tactical opportunities and ability to win.

Storm at Verecke Pass, while not mine, certainly falls into that category and seems to be finely crafted as well.

As is seen here, with these scores, they can be quite unforgiving.

I expect all three scenarios to generate alot of discussion and comments. The most controversial probably will be HSG 1PD To the Rescue. It can be quite challenging from either side.

Good Hunting.

This round will have a different result than past rounds. Eight gamers will advance from this round. The loser that plays the best will advance. First consideration will be number of games won in THIS ROUND. Only if there is a tie number of games won will I go to the percentages added for all three games to be the deciding factor.

KOTH2 Round 3 Matchups

1) Sphinx (4-2) vs Andre (5-1)
2) Owl (6-0) vs raz_atoth (5-1)
3) Von Schwendeman (4-2) vs Standartenfuhrer (9-0)
4) Acre (9-0) vs BitterPill (5-1)
5) Kovan (5-1) vs Leto (8-1)
6) Antoni Chmielowski (3-3) vs Lord Bane (8-1)
7) sudowudo (6-0) vs MeaEtr (7-2)


Round 3 Scenario Winning Percentages:

HSG 1PD Mountain Melee: 83
HSG AM Death in the Quarry: 84
HSG EW Eye of the Tiger: 79


Round 2 Scenario Winning Percentages:

SB Gott Mit Uns: 66.4
CSC Valguarnera Right Hook: 66.6
HSG NA 3 Yankee Pilots_4: 58.1


Round 1 Scenario Winning Percentages:

FGM Into the Valley: 63.5

This round will have a different result than past rounds. Eight gamers will advance from this round. The loser that plays the best will advance. First consideration will be number of games won in THIS ROUND. Only if there is a tie number of games won will I go to the percentages added for all three games to be the deciding factor.


Good Hunting.

Well I lost Quarry 68% to 32%. I thought I was going to win until the last few moves. I pushed the Allied forces all over the mines and destroyed most of them, but it took to long. In the end I owned all the flags but one. Naturally that one turned out to be the only real flag and it was worth 900 points. I would have had it in about 2 or 3 more turns, but that is the nature of the game. An interesting scenario MR, I enjoyed it.

Thanks for the kind words Mark, but you give me more credit than I am due in Tiger. You had me back on my heels for the entire game. Only minefields and pure luck with that last SU saved me. I have never put much stock in Elite crews before, never worth the points, but that KT crew was an exception.

As for Quarry, well, my Partisan are falling over dead at the mere sight of your Romanians.

Stndrtnfhr Out!

This round is not going well for Von Schwendeman. Standartenfuher cleaned me out in "Mountain" 65% to 35%. Sad I think this one definitely favors the Russians and I will be surprised to see more than 20% of the victories going to the Germans.
I did better in "Tiger" but still lost 58% to 42%. Frown Despite the score this one was in doubt until the end, I just couldn't hold enough flags. I made a few poor moves and you can't do that when playing against Don. I also had some poor luck. One of my Su-100's missed the first 4 shots against the side of a KT that was busy killing a T-34. Finally the KT noticed the Su and turned to fire at it. The Su's 5th shot hit the KT's front turret and bounced off and the 6th shot missed. Naturally he didn't live long enough to get in a 7th shot. I really enjoyed this scenario and I think the balance is pretty good.
"Quarry" is about 1/2 way done and it looks like I should win that one. Smile
Thanks for a really good time, VS

MR --

Can you do a stat for which side (axis/allies) won each of the scenarios for Round II? Something like you did for Round I. (See post #317).

This would help to see if the scenario was balanced.


thanks

Don Standartenfuher are you out there or are you off playing in the sand again? Send me an email and lets get going on the Round 3 games. Thanks, Mark

P.S. If you are off playing in the sand, be careful.

I didn't say end Round 2 on the 26th. But to start Round 3 on the 26th.

Round 2 ends on the 17th of December.

There is no reason that gamers shouldn't be finished with round 2 on time.

Standartenfuhrer and Desert Fox started later than all of the rest of you. They are already finished. If they can start later than the group and finish with a month to spare the rest of the tournament can finish in the allotted amount of time.

Good Hunting.

Sounds like a good plan, moves from "Shoot-Me-I-Explode" have been sporadic. Maybe with a few extra days we can get it done. However, if I was finished I wouldn't like this idea. Have fun, VS

Send me your game turns before you leave. Round 3 is supposed to start 17 December but I might postpone that until after Christmas.

How does everyone feel about that? I don't want to take part of the 90 days up with people traveling, spending time with the family and being full of holiday cheer.

I was thinking maybe a better time to start round 3 is the 26th of December instead of the 17th.

Everybody, let me know what you think.

Okay...the matchup that started last has now finished their three scenarios.

The rest of you should be getting very close to being done. The deadline is December 17th.

If you aren't more than a third through with the scenarios you need to catch up. Either by TCP or by doing a PBEM fest on a weekend or something.

Seydlitz is a tough draw.


I can vouch for Seydlitz being an outstanding player. A great opponent for anyone to draw for a quality game of CM.

In fact a game that he and I did as a QB, one of only 3 I've ever done, was the inspiration for a new scenario of mine that is already getting high marks from the playtesters...not sure if it will surface here in KOTH2 or in a later tournament in the future though.

GOTT: TURN 22

We've overrun each others outposts and now there is a fight for the town on the hill.

I've lost one Su-76, 76mm IG and a BA-10, while DT has lost 3 Marder, 1 IG and an AC. I'm a bit heavier on infantry atm by an estimated half company.

Nothing decided as of yet... still a draw.

YANK: I've gotten extremely lucky and potted 6 Grants and 8 Honey's for the loss of 2 Marder and 3 PZ II. DT still has way too many Grant's for me to close on his positions.

Although I may be in minor win territory, nothing is decided, as one wrong move on my part can wipe out that advantage in one turn when dealing with the Beasties.

VAL: I'm waiting for DT's attack... the attack is slow in coming. May have potted an 8 wheeler... we'll see.

Still a total draw.


Cheers!

Leto


Don't put scenario spoilers here on the tournament page!

We'll open the scenarios up in TPG in a couple more weeks and you can talk all you want about what each of you has in there.

Good Hunting.

Update on games:

Yank: I'm Axis. 3 Grant's and 8 Honey's destroyed, 1 Grant gun damaged, another immobilized for loss of 3 PZ II and a Marder. Turn 18. Still wide open game with both sides positioning for final half of battle.

Val: I'm Allied. The Canadians have suffered few casualties, and are awaiting the German onslaught upon the flags. Turn 18. Battle still wide open.

Gott: I'm Allied. Both sides have overwhelmed the other's garrisoned (within setup) flags. Germans have lost both guns, 3 Marder, 1 AC and 2 HT's with numerous infantry casualties to onboard garrison, while the Russkies have lost a gun, a SU-76 and an AC, with medium losses to the onboard infantry garrison. Turn 18. Still wide open with the potential of a multitude of movements to be made by either player that if executed properly can lead to victory.

All in all, very good scenario picks thus far, and I am enjoying them immensely (although the veteran skills of my opponent are making this nailbiting agony in some instances).

Cheers!

So far, HSG NA 3 Yank Pilots seems to be very balanced.

Two games are finished. Both resulted in a draw.

1) 50 - 50 British score - 3042 German score - 2991 a difference of 51 points.

2) 52 - 48 British score - 2864 German score - 2676 a difference of 188 points.

Actually, I picked up on the terrain bit. my opponent has been conservative after a foray by his honeys at speed into my sector resulting in their passing from this world.

Not only speed but stealth has been the two pivotal elements of this game, amplified by context = terrain. My opponent has now realized my plans as large movements of my tanks have been detected, and my anticipation of his movement to now try and intercept and "use speed" to get into tactical position to defend against my now revealed movements may have put him in a compromising position.

We shall see. Very tense and well fought game on both sides I have to say thus far... my opponent is my equal in skill in pretty much every category, and superior in some.

Cheers!

AS the game progresses, I am beginning to understand the complexities of the scenario design. Through my intensive study on the Grant tank, I have realized that although tough as nails, they are subject to some very interesting conditions on their effectiveness.
1) the main gun cannot be fired from hull down positions, and thus leaves the 37 to deal with the enemy... less than adequate for medium armor.
2) when not in hull down position, the tank is extremely easy to hit. I had no idea of this before, but it makes sense. The russians used to call them steel coffins, because of their high profile and lead attracting affinities. When the tank is not in hull down position, it is susceptible to low chasis hits and can be killed at range.
3) the main gun is not very accurate past 1000m. A testament is the wads of 75 shot that seems to be hitting everything but my tanks. Within 750m, they are lethal.
4) immobilizations are akin to death for these large beasts.
5) the grant will continually shift from target to target when flanked, allowing one flanker to get at least a juicy side glancing shot off the hull (the turrent being quite tough to crack)
6) they are slooooww.
7) Honey's burn when looked at with just a Teutonic scowl. In hull down position, the panzer III (most varieties with the uparmoured turret) cannot be hurt by 37's and in many instances at range, the 75 AP shell will ricocchet.


I've used many of these discoverites to formulate my plan and so far so good. I am being wiley by instigating a standoffish policy that keeps my pz III's at dstances between 750 to 1250m when dueling and over 1500m when moving through LOS fire zones. All attacks are situated in hull down formation with lighter armored vehciles shooting and scooting. I have not lost one tank yet (okay, I lost a panzer II scouting, but they don't count).

I expect that if I am forced to close and combat the flags, I am a cooked goose.

So far 6 Honey's burn with one Grant dead/immobilized.

Cheers!

Leto


1. The 75mm rarely fires at armoured targets. That is not a given though and they can be deadly if they get hits.

2. The Russians called them "A Grave for Seven Brothers". They were not popular as the name suggests.

3. As the range closes the Grants can be killed by the German 50mm guns on front armour as well. As the range closes the British guns become very much more effective as well.

4. That is true of most tanks.

5. That is an issue I see the Tac AI have oll the time. Some tanks are worse than others with it. The 2 gun tank may run the Tac AI batty.

6. They are fast enough when they are in packs!!

7. Yes, Honey's and PzII's will burn nicely on this map.

This scenario highlights one of Guderians principles. One of a tanks most effective weapons is speed.

He who wins the race to the dominant terrain features will win this fight more than likely. The tactics used by both players determines what those dominant terrain features actually end up being.

As with all of my scenario this one has a blend of strength and weakness for both sides.

The only match completed for this scenario, ended with the computer awarding a 50-50 draw. Points went the to the British by a margin of only 51. It was that close.

Good Hunting.

Battles are into about turn 13. Each is too close to call, with a great deal of manuevering and positioning going on. I suspect each of these battles will be fought down to the bitter end.

On a specific note: not one M3 has even been scratched yet... much as I feared.

And I thought he was only supposed to have three of them (3 yank pilots!), but it looks more like 3 platoons of them.

Here is your round 1 initial email.

Andrew you will send Mark a setup in both FGM Into the Valley (Axis) and HSG K Ring of Fire (Allied).

Mark you will send Andrew a setup in SB Soviet Champagne(Axis).

I have not seen all of these scenarios so I have no idea if there is a side that is more favored or not. I just went Axis, Allied, Axis for the setups first person to sign up getting to play Axis in two scenarios. That is normally the preferred side.

Good Luck and Good Hunting.

Steve

The only thing I had wrong was the side for the Groups. The information stayed the same just the sides were wrong.

Good Hunting.

There is nothing to apologize for buddy. In real life things happen. Letting people know you have a problem is a huge help to me!! Thanks.

That's why there are 90 days to do games that will easily finish in 60. To take into account just such things as these.

You can also shotgun files for a day on the weekend and make up almost a weeks worth of files.

For those not familiar with the term shotgunning, to me at least, it means sending each other files one after another for a set period of time. To take a day, like Saturday for instance, and just do PBEM files.

Then there is TCP to catch up a bit. These battles are a bit large for TCP but I have played HSG NA Three Yank Pilots TCP and it does quite well. The action is fast and furious!

Good Hunting.

My sincere apologies for the delay and inconvenience,

Seydlitz

Round 1 Results:

FGM Into the Valley:

Group 1 (Axis)
Wins: 15
Average Winning Score: 65%

Group 2 (Allied)
Wins: 7
Average Winning Score: 66%


HSG K Ring of Fire:

Group 1 (Allied)
Wins: 9
Average Winning Score: 76%

Group 2 (Axis)
Wins: 13
Average Winning Score: 54%

SB Soviet Champagne:

Group 1 (Allied)
Wins: 7
Average Winning Score: 63%

Group 2 (Axis)
Wins: 15
Average Winning Score: 70%


As you can see HSG K Ring of Fire had the closest number of wins per side with 9 Allied to 13 Axis.

The other two scenarios both produced a ratio of 15 Axis wins to 7 Allied wins.

The closest scenario in terms of winning scores was FGM Into the Valley with Group 1 winners averaging 65% and Group 2 winners averaging 66%.

14 Group 1 players advanced to Round 2.
13 Group 2 players advanced to Round 2.

Of the 27 players advancing into Round 2 five advanced by having their opponents withdrawing from the tournament. Thirteen advanced with a 3-0 record and fourteen advanced with a 2-1 record.

I would say that my system for matching up players was pretty fair after all.


Here are the match results.

1) The_Enigma vs Antoni Chmielowski (FGM) 2-1
2) Narcosis vs Ken F 3-0
3) pplci vs Von Schwendeman 2-1
4) Acre 3-0 vs donshafer
5) Mixmaster vs Kovan 3-0
6) Proniakin vs RocketMan 3-0
7) sudowudo 3-0 vs herroberst
8) Alexian 2-1 vs WeAgs2
9) voland vs Lord Bane 2-1
10) CEV Gunner vs Devil Thomas 3-0
11) BitterPill 2-1 vs Diesel Taylor
12) jdsu 3-0 vs Herr Schacht
13) GJK vs raz_atoth 2-1
14) Bitchin Frizzie vs Seydlitz 3-0
15) Von Staudt vs Andre 3-0
16) Schwerpunkt vs Leto 2-1
17) Standartenfuhrer 3-0 vs Siberian Heat
18) Kineas 2-1 vs Airbornebob
19) MeatEtr 2-1 vs Andrew Kulin
20) Bannon DC 2-1 vs Twisted Leader
21) WarHammer11A 3-0 vs dynoryder
22) mcwkjoyce 3-0 vs Mangus2000
23) Forseti 2-1vs BigDuke6
24) Bertram vs Huzaar 2-1
25) Shoot Me I Explode 2-1 vs BertBlitzkrieg (FGM)
26) Owl 3-0 vs Crimson Bronx
27) Warpuppy vs Sphinx 2-1


Good Hunting.

MR, when you get a chance would it be possible to have the final statistics for the round 1 games? I'd like to know the number of wins by each side for each of the scenarios. Also the average score for each of the scenarios would be interesting. Thanks, VS

Does this mean that all matches are basically sending a file from BOTH GAMERS each every day????

If you're not you are going to run the risk of not finishing in time. There will not be a time extension for the end of this round.

You better keep your return rate constant.

If there are any problems let me know.

Standartenfuhrer and Desert Fox have just gotten their scenarios tonight. That makes all matches have been assigned and all matches should have files that are being sent.

If that is not the case then let me know.

If that doesn't work, I'll either have to forfeit, or be replaced with a substitute.

It looks to me like if it ever took his emails it should take them now too. It must just be a setting of some kind.

Yeah, well I'm not too enthused about it, even though I am a Canadian, playing the Canadians in Val.

I suspect there will be an extremely rough ride ahead of us, as the Germans will bring in all kinds of light and medium armor to grind us up by the end of the game. The early German kills will most likely offset an entire regiment of Canadians getting blowed up good.

Cheers!

Howdy guys

The set up in Gott Mit Uns is designed to give the players a dose of heavy FOW. I did that by having your subordinates give you information that turns out to be conflicting/wrong about the status of the fortifications. They are fighting over the area at night and needless to say get the message wrong.

Both sides receive, AFAIK, the same challenge.

CMAK is a mature game, trying to challenge the type of experience players in the KOTH tournament requires some additional twisting and darkening of the FOW.

Of course in the long run you may find the setup challenge is merely a red herring, a distraction, from the main effort, or you may not.

We shall see

I see that everybody has ample opportunity to do their setup for Gott Mit Uns!

You will have noticed the designers understanding of the meaning of "Fog of War"!!

The game designer and not your opponent is the one that is responsible for most of what you see in the village.

Good Luck with that! While it's not the best approach for me personally, it is very different and will make you use or learn some skills pretty quick to win this one!

Good Hunting.

I guess I'm not the only one who is surprised the scenarios aren't locked. I too assumed it was SOP. IIRC the last tourney I was in they were indeed locked.

I guess it's too late for this 2nd round. But for the rest of the tourney I vote "Yes", they should be locked. Afterall, why not, this is exactly why the game has this feature.

I'm for it all being locked... I know that I don't look at the stuff. so it would be nice to know that my opponent hasn't decided to take a sniff and try and get an advantage over me... not that I am saying anyone does it... it's just a POM kind of thing.

Cheers!

Regarding Steve's email --


Steve --

Locking the scenarios as "tournament save" should be standard practice, I suspect. For some the temptation is too great. For others it could be a simple slip in pushing the wrong button during set up.

I don't think is is a matter of honor... just a matter of running the tournament "SOP" by sending tournament locked scenarios. The KOTH tournament is the only tournie I have been involved with so I don't know how others typically work. Maybe someone else can supply details.

The designer should of course post his "non-tournament" saved scenario after the end of the round. Or near the end, for others with the understanding that tournament players will be on their honor not to view.

X-posting on TPG for discussion in the tournament thread.

My salute to you for managing this tournament! Smile

Maybe, this isn't as obvious to all of you as it is to me.

While you can open the scenarios in the editor because we did not tournament lock them, we can and will if you decide you feel the need to look them all over.

The WHOLE reason for playing other gamers in battle situations instead of QB mirrors is the ability to fight battles that neither of you have seen before. That neither of you knows every detail about.

DO NOT LOOK IN THE EDITOR WITH THE SCENARIOS!!!

I actually thought this was a standard practice to NOT LOOK! Maybe I was wrong and need to start locking them.

Good Hunting.

Round 2 has started! Here are the final matchups. Some were moved around to fill the matches rather than wait for the last two matches in round 1 to do their ceasefires!

Final Round 2 Matchups

1) Antoni Chmielowski (FGM) (2-1) vs Sphinx (2-1)
2) Ken F (3-0 ) vs Owl (3-0)
3) Von Schwendeman (2-1) vs Shoot Me I Explode (2-1)
4) Acre (3-0) vs Huzaar (2-1)
5) Kovan (3-0) vs Forseti (2-1)
6) RocketMan (3-0) vs mcwkjoyce (3-0)
7) sudowudo (3-0) vs WarHammer11A (3-0)
8) BannonDC (2-1) vs MeatEtr (2-1)
9) Lord Bane (2-1) vs Kineas (2-1)
10) Devil Thomas (3-0) vs Leto (2-1)
11) BitterPill (2-1) vs Seydlitz (3-0)
12) Standartenfuhrer (3-0) vs Desert Fox (Alt)
13) raz_atoth (2-1) vs jdsu (3-0)
14) Andre (3-0) vs Alexian (2-1)

The roster is full. All games should have been received by the gamers by now. If you have not received your matches let me know IMMEDIATELY!

There is one note of possible interest. Standartenfuhrer is a US Marine on active duty, and is on assignment until the end of September. He requested to be allowed to try to attempt to play round 2 in the 2 months after he gets back. I agreed as did the alternate he is to play. I don't expect to have to make a time exception for him but I will in his case. Everybody else should expect to finish on time or do a ceasefire.

All matchups and scenarios have been sent except numbers 12. 12 will be sent as soon as Standartenfuhrer returns from assignment at the end of September.

Here are the scenarios you will be playing.

Round 2 Scenarios

SB Gott Mit Uns - A different kind of ME set in Russia during the winter of 1943. This one can get really nasty.

CSC Valguarnera Right Hook - This historically based fight takes place on Sicily in July 1943, as both sides maneuver to establish some kind of advantage. To create order out of mayhem.

HSG NA Three Yank Pilots - A Meeting Engagement in the deserts of North Africa in June 1942. For those that thought HSG K Ring of Fire was controversial in Round 1 wait until you fight this first of a series of North African scenarios! The battle ground and victory conditions should produce some interesting comments. I look forward to them.

Good Hunting.

Do the best you can. How did you get so behind on that one scenario? Normally I send my scenarios off to a particular gamer in a set.

This will be how I match up all brackets for round 2 EXCEPT for Standartenfuhrer.

I have an odd number of brackets and he happened to have a situation that would not allow him to start on time so I matched up the alternate with him so that they would know they had to play "fast".

One of the Round 2 scenarios will be a difficult scenario based on an actual fight in Sicily.

Another of the scenarios will be a meeting engagement in the winter of 1943. Not your normal ME fare though so beware...

The last of the three scenarios for round 2 is being decided as we speak.

There will be 14 matched brackets. That will give me 7 winners at the end and I need 8 to go into Round 3. Since that is the case the loser with the highest percentages averaged will move on to Round 3 as well. In other words, the single loser that plays the best in this round will also advance to Round 3.

Good Hunting.

MR



So I will be playing jdsu or Herr Schacht in round 2 then?

Cheers!

So where are you guys then? Have you finished them all or what? Your last post gave me the impression you were still playing them out.

Let me know if you are done what the final scores were and who got what score.

Good Hunting.

MR


So MR, are we going to have to enlist the services of Vinnie and Rocko to help get these games finished so we can start round 2???

I'm a hankerin for a spankerin!

Cheers!

We are still starting Round 2 on September 16th.

You can enlist who you like but that won't change the start date. Razz

Ah well, thats sporting of you considering you've already played it. And another Group 1 player just won the scenario making it 6 Group 1 winners and 8 Group 2 winners.

Good Hunting.

It would be hard to "un"play it... remember, I played this with the Germans and won... thus my hypothesis is that it would be hard for me to lose as Russians, IMHO.

The score for each gamer is what I need so that I know who won....

So, which of you got the 55% and which of you got the 45%?

Here is what I do with that information besides determining who won.


Here are the Standings for the scenarios at the moment.

Group 1 Winners Average Scores:

Into the Valley: Ten wins with an average score of 65.3%

SB Soviet Champagne: Four wins with an average score of 66%

Ring of Fire: Five wins with an average score of 70.4%


Group 2 Winners Average Scores:

Into the Valley: Three wins with an average score of 63%

SB Soviet Champagne: Nine wins with an average score of 75.4%

Ring of Fire: Eight wins with an average score of 60.3%


As you can see only thirteen scores made it into the formulas. There were three instances where a gamer surrendered. Those are not figured into the figures.


Also notice that at this moment Ring of Fire has the closest spread of wins for each team...meaning it is the MOST BALANCED of the three....lol....I couldn't resist that....

MR, just sent our results to you. I got two wins and a draw to advance to the next round. Edit: I'll just add them here too.

Into the Valley - 71% - 29% - Axis Tactical Victory - MeatEtr

Ring of Fire - 80% - 20% - Allied Major Victory - MeatEtr

Champagne - 45% - 55% - Draw - Andrew Kulin

Btw, is it possible we can get a standings/news post stickied in this forum? It would be handy to be able to check for the latest news/standings at a glance.

Bummer to see a 10 day delay, looking forward to round 2.

Some of you just got lucky.

I am extending the start of ROUND 2 by ten days.

Anyone not done by the

15th of September

will have their games decided.

This is a gift not from me but of some very unforeseen events. It will not be extended again so use the time to your advantage!

You are on turn 10 and you guys haven't done anything to try to speed up the file rate before now?????

Take into account that before this tournament started everyone knew when Round 2 would start.

A single file per day return rate for 2 months IS A SLOW RETURN RATE!!

Some of these guys finished within a few weeks.

The last time I knew anything about it both my personal email and this website worked. If you think your opponent is stonewalling you then you should have said something long before now.

How close are you to being finished?

Good Hunting.

As was discussed when we started, teams not finished by the time Round 1 is scheduled to finish will have their games determined.


FINISH YOUR GAMES!!!!


These scenarios are not 40 turns long.

40 turn scenarios take 120 files to finish.

120 files with a return rate of one file per person..per day...takes exactly 60 days.

You have had 90 days.

Anyone not finished will have their results determined for them.

Good Hunting.

1) we can form a Losers Bracket that plays the same scenarios the winners bracket is playing.

2) we can allow the losers bracket to playtest the scenarios for future rounds and vote on the choices for which scenarios get used.

In other words, incorporate the Losers Bracket into the judges. You would still be playing the scenarios and you would have a say in which ones were used and the playbalance on them.

Comments?!

Which would you rather see?

Round 2 scenarios will consist of

A trip to Sicily in an assault/ME/attack - defend kind of a game. This one will test your patience and your skills.

A trip to Russia in an ME of a different kind. It too has multiple phases and attack/defend options in it.

A third scenario that is yet to be determined, with the scenario being picked from this group:

A small ME in Italy that is extremely challenging.

A small attack by Romanian forces against Soviet partisans in an undergroudn quarry.

An assault by British forces in Holland.

An all armored ME in the deserts of North Africa.


These scenarios are more to see what kinds of skills you have developed as gamers besides just the normal ME style come and get it combat. While that is very prevalent in most tournaments the KOTH is known for it's wide variety of scenario types and settings to force you to use all of your skills or learn new ones fast!

How are the matchups in the next round determined?

Also, what is the format (how many games played, what scenarios, and what kind of games will they be: ME, attack/defense, etc)?

Cheers!

Leto


I determine the matchups by a system I'll tell you about after they have been assigned.

Same format. Three games. Win two to move on. Yes, they will either be ME, attack/defend or etc...

If everyone is finished the round will start 6 September. If everyone is not finished I will determine a winner or let them finish on their own if they are close. I'll make that determination at the time.


Everyone should finish on time. 3 months is enough time to finish medium length and size scenarios.

Good Hunting.

MR

(modified 08/17/2007 17:50:14 by Mad Russian)


I agree - 3 months is more than enough to play 3 games Wink

In the last round me & The_Enigma played all our battles as TCP/IP games over 3 consecutive weekends. Big Grin

HSG K Ring of Fire has been uploaded to TPG and is available for those that are finished playing it here to make comments on or discuss in any fashion that you like.

I have recommended the other two designers to upload their scenarios here as well so that you can give them feed back too.

Thanks for the comments to date and tremendous interest shown in Ring of Fire. Interesting what a little bit different OOB can do for everybody's disposition...come to the discussion thread and we'll discuss this one all you want...

If it weren't for my overwhelming combined infantry and armor tactics (nailed *** and ** with grenade bundles and AT mines) working like clockwork on this one, there is no way I could have won it.

BTW, how do you rate these scenarios??

ARRGGHH!!


Cheers!

Leto


Ummmm....guys I hate to point this out to you but I give you the tools to win the scenario. You may well have to use all the tools but they are there. Watch the Spoilers in here guys. We will discuss these scenaris at length in TPG. I'm going to post Ring of Fire today so we can start the disucssion on what should or shouldn't be in there...

I hear you, and I most definately used those tools in very creative combinations. Looking at it more objectively, I was aiming for a TOTAL Victory as the Germans, and the very fact that I was stopped short at the height of a MINOR victory may be very good evidence for your debate.

Besides, scenario balance cannot take into account the skill and creativity of the players, nor their ability to recognize the tools they have available, and the strategies they must use for victory. Those are the subjectives you cannot control, and with respect to that, I think the FIRE scenario is well equipped from the point of view of either side to allow for unique abilities and tactics to be translated into victory.

By winning it as the germans, and thinking it pro soviet, it may be the best indication there is of the balance and character of the scenario.

Cheers!

Leto

I thought all 3 scenarios were good and me and Enigma had fun playing them.

Yes because isn't it interesting that Group 2 was the ones that got the Germans in Ring of Fire...the very same ones that have been winning that scenario after they say the Soviets are way too strong in the scenario and that the balance is very pro-SOVIET!!

I'm working on it but it seems that every gamer in this tournament has gone back to their home sites and started up a thread on it so I am checking all of the posts there to make sure I have everybody's score or where they are at the moment.

To give you some kind of an idea of what it is taking me to get the scoring results on this thread....I have 472 personal emails that you guys have sent me. I have to go through those to make sure that I don't miss anyone. Or I might just post what I have and let you correct me on here.....and that doesn't count the posts here and on Blitz and Game Squad...and....well you're getting the picture.

We need to keep the scoring notification here on TPG if at all possible so I can keep up with it easier...don't kill the administrator guys!! I'm still helping to playtest scenarios, along with the judges, for the later rounds as well.

Some of them are going to be serious tests of your gaming skills! Not the normal fare by far!!

Good Hunting.

Steve

Well I can be a bit aggressive as a player...I didn't give my Axis opponent time to beat me to anywhere on the map I wanted to go. I did advance much too far in one area though and was shot up pretty good. That was with recon forces and the resulting battle cost him time in other parts of the map.

He was actually defending his own area from my advancing units. That allowed me to do other things but at a stiff cost.

Good Hunting.

I rushed up over the little hill and into an onslaught of German armor. I'd of done better if I sat back and let him come to me.

Judging by mine and others results for "Champagne", I'm inclined to say that it may be balanced in favor of the Axis a bit; not to take away from the excellent play from my opponent. Wink

100% to 0%? How did you do that? I was the Soviet in the playtest I did on that scenario and we ended up with a draw.

Good Hunting.

Round 1 is do to be over 6 September.

Soooo, if you're behind a bit you need to some catch up file swapping...yes I said "file"....

Let's get Round 1 out of the way so we can see who's still standing when the smoke clears.

Round 2 will have a much more varied trio of scenarios for your gaming pleasure.

Good Hunting.

Sorry for the delay..should have an update very soon. It takes awhile to go and visit all the sites that this tournament has generated and check the scores posted there with what we have here and the one's I've gotten myself.

Good Hunting.
