The Last Station Challenge

[Kelen]

Maybe if you actually owned and played cmbb you'd know mate..;)

So it's ok to play and report unbalanced games for both CMBO and CMAK? Sorry don't see your point.

No scen is ever perfectly balanced,

Yep, that's what I said, so at least we agree on that.

and Green Light is no exception because the balance favours the Germans slightly, that's why to get a fair and valid ladder result it's necessary to mirror it so both players get to play the stronger and weaker sides in turn, geddit?
So if its played just once, no honourable German player would want to report his win on the ladder anyway..:)

So are you saying then that for ANY scenario, unless both parties rate it to say that it was exactly evenly balanced that the results shouldn't be posted! Or that every scenario has to be played mirrored just in case? Hmm, I wonder how many games that have been reported would have to be deleted if that were the case.

As for all the competitors, I gave them the option to open up the scenario for close scrutiny in the editor before the start, and even playtest it to get experience of it if they wanted..:)
With all my tourneys everybody starts on as level a playing field as I can humanly make it, but don't take my word for it, ask around the neighbourhood..:)

I wasn't talking about your Green Light Tourney, I was talking about this challenge so this is irrelevant.

40 games have been completed so far and I've only won 23, some 'advantage'..;)

But you have played, or are currently playing 70 games are you not? Regardless of how many you win, are you saying that having played and completed 41 games, from both sides, you haven't gained ANY insight as to how best to defend, or how your opponents are likely to conduct their attack? What NONE!!!

That aside, the fact that you have won 24 games out of 41, in lieu of anything else, must be an indication of your consumate skill as a commander. Surely that alone must make up for the fact that the scenario, (as you've said), 'favours the Germans SLIGHTLY'.

I would have thought someone with as many medals as you, and who has topped as many ladders as you would be more than capable of handling any SLIGHT inbalance, and would leap at the chance of showing your worth in the face of adversity. If the games were reported, and the fact that your ELO rating would then be at stake, would hone and focus the minds of both you and your opponents which would make for much more tense and interesting games.

As I've already said though, it's your challenge and you can make up the rules, I was just curious as to the rational of not allowing your opponents to report results just because of a SLIGHT inbalance, when, (again as you say), 'no scen is ever perfectly balanced', and yet everyone else who plays them is quite happy to report the results.
