Changes/things you would like to see

The Main Event in the CM forum is like you said a online AAR. But for me and almost everyone else its a great learning tool. To get some insight ino force selection of the big boys and how they play the game is fantastic. I have learnt heaps. I think a game Vesku where you pick your forces and so does Narwan but on a map of the Main Event organises choosing would make it more of a game. To see what you choose to win and how you do offers so much for us down the ladder. To see how the pros do it.

On the CM forum it is probaly the big draw card right now. Guys comment that its what draws them on more than just one a day or a couple of times a week. It has helped with site traffic allright.

Come over and have a look. Great fun.

Ok, so the players are posting the running commentary, not a moderator. That is why I was asking how you do it.

So how do you set these up, I don't 20 of them running at one time. Perhaps somewhere along the lines of Greybeard's set games, or do the players choose their poison?

You don't get away that easy man. This is like Italian football. It's seemingly boring for everyone except those skilled enough to see the beautiful art in playing a tightly organized defence and going forward just enough to score that decisive goal.

Since most here seem to be from the other side of the Atlantic that analogy is probably wasted but still ;)

I didn't know Italians could throw a football...but boy, you should see them kick a soccer ball.

As for changes, I love this thing the way it is. Maybe only a couple years of fooling around here hasn't jaded me enough yet. I have seen a couple good ideas of late. I particularly liked Seabolt's idea of having units names after the player, so that if it dies - he dies (not literally). Also Greybeard's set games are interesting too, plus you don't have to spend a great deal of time in the setup - its done for you. The recent OTB games have been fun for me also.

I think our only limit is our creativity.

Good analogy but .... it's pretty hard to sort the ladder so that both of us are at the top so, no, not a good idea. :)

To GUNSLNGR, we don't call it soccer, it's football for us Europeans and your style is called American football.
