RE: No Tournament for Old Men - John Given - 09-13-2010 just got my e-mail notification i came in third - nice! I'll take 3rd in this one - I was up against some very tough competition here, so 3rd is quite a compliment.  Should the game victory results be recorded? We were almost through, after all. Great tourney, but I never thought it would take this long to finish. No thanks to me!  David, great game. I don't think your brits could have taken the two major towns though - i had two full strength infantry platoons coming up in the SE town, which you could not see, and the SW town was *very* heavily defended. Plus, there were only a few turns left. The way I beat you as allies, was to take a chance on loaded transports, and put the tanks in front. not my usual strategy, but since it was a mirror game, I knew what kind of units you had in store. Once I knocked out an 88 plus the German 76mm sherm, I knew all you had left was the infantry and two batteries of 88's - probably protecting the SW town, which I was gunning for (before you surrendered). at that point, the loaded DUKW units moved south, loaded, en masse, toward the towns, as you saw. And finally, a big thank you to Pat (wherever you are) for organizing the tourney.

Yep, victory points get recorded. Nice game, but after losing the first of the mirrors, even if I could have beat you in the other one you'd have beaten me in points, which I assume Pat would have used as a tie breaker. So you get third. I'm tempted to say "choke on it", but I like you too much Johnny. So congrats. Now to figure out what to do about Pat's other tourny(s?) Dave |
