My game has not even started yet, despite a couple PM's to my opponent. Unfortunately things like this tend to happen. When you are out of the running...interest wanes.hidde wrote:Status anyone?
It's two weeks since the last round started...
My and Acereraks game is only on turn two! I was a bit slow in picking up the challenge.
Then we were both busy for a while and now it seems like A is occupied once more with real life
I hope we can get this tourny to it's conclusion...
Fair winds,
Phil

In the death throes of my match with LOGAN5 - think got 5 or 6 Turns left.
Amount of time to reach interesting decision-points, i.e. people get knocked out and the survivors go onto the next stage, could be looked at in the AAR.
Cheers
Isn't your game against Sleet? I thought he was still in the running for the Axis flight - got a game in hand according to the last results table.Sailing Guy wrote:My game has not even started yet, despite a couple PM's to my opponent.

Game against LOGAN5 has reached its bloody conclusion. Allied victory with 9 flags and 28 Axis units destroyed, losing 15 Allied units. So score is Allies 131 : Axis 0.
LOGAN5 put up a stout defence after the early loss of his Panther to a lucky opfire Sherman shot at range on his side armour; at least 12 turns remaining. After that it was a bitter fight for every flag with Allies losing a lot more units than planned
A game of attrition and thanks - is that the right word; he just wasn't thinking about my points - to LOGAN5 for making it a good fight.
Cheers

As far as I can tell Sleet is the only possible threat to CharlyG in the German Flight. Looks like he has dropped out. That should mean that I and CharlyG could play the final.junk2drive wrote:Easy for me to say because I'm not in the running but worse case you could drop Close Combat and figure the final scores at that point. Then set the 2 final opponents.
Not sure if I have the stomach for three games after a crippled tourny like it became but we could play Race for the town and that is it?
I didn't even realize it was over, i guess you must have killed my last panzer, I was waiting for the turn to come back because i was sure that it would survive at least one more turn. Good game.PirateJock wrote:Game against LOGAN5 has reached its bloody conclusion. Allied victory with 9 flags and 28 Axis units destroyed, losing 15 Allied units. So score is Allies 131 : Axis 0.

Yeah that's caught me out a few times ... game finishes on the opponents turn and it goes straight to your 'Completed Games' tab with no message. Have you watched the last turn? I ended up sacrificing a Sherman (not intended ; I thought he was tough enough and far enough away to soak up a few hits!) and then ran in an M18 onto the flag for pointblank shot on your panzer.LOGAN5 wrote:I didn't even realize it was over, i guess you must have killed my last panzer, I was waiting for the turn to come back because i was sure that it would survive at least one more turn.

Shawnt63 and myself just finished our Close Combat battle. 9 flags captured by myself as Allies with 16 casualties, Germans suffered 25 casualties. By my calculations my total score should be 122. 30 points (for the win), 90 points (for the flags), 50 points (German casualties) - 48 points (Allied casualties) = 122 points. Feel free to correct this if I'm wrong!
Well, I have just sent CharleyG a PM and asked him if we should have a final. We'll see.PirateJock wrote:So ... are there likely to be any more results from the final round or is it time for hidde and CharlyG to start dukeing it out? You going for a winner takes it all on Race for the Town?
Cheers
If anyone is interested I and Acererak are still fighting, albeit slowly. The result won't change anything, of course.
Only a return of Sleet could make any difference.

Sorry to hear that.Sleet wrote:Heya, it has been sometime since I have been online and all.
Had to deal with a stroke, fortunately doing much better now!
Anyway, my apologies for not informing all earlier.
Good luck to the leads from each side.
Are you able to play? We can wait for you.
Might be too stressfull for a while, though.
Get well and we'll see you in some future final!
