The Official World in Flames Tournament Thread

[Crossroads]

Excellent, welcome Zap! I suggest as a next step we sort out the team structures:

Here's how the teams look like, given the mechanism presented in the Tournament thread (not updated):


Team Callsign Draft Rank
1 KKR 8 15
1 Ed 10 44
1 Larry Reese 4 57
1 Otto von Blotto 9 63
1 von Manstein 2 99
1 Zap 16 114
1 Outlaw Josey Wales 1 150
1 Arnold75 5 182

2 Bioman 12 28
2 Cole 6 53
2 Panzerjäger 15 62
2 Boisforas 7 67
2 Ernst 11 106
2 Sgt K. Kat 3 124
2 Ashcloud 14 166
2 pawn117 13 250


Given Rod preferred not to act as the CinC, but Larry volunteered to work at high Command, we have team 1 sorted out. Ed, Larry, pls communicate among yourselves how you want the chain of command pan out. Larry preferred Allied (Russians), so let us name team 1 as Allied.

I can support team 2 in organising themselves, and as I decided I would like to play the Winter War scenarios as a Finn, that would work out as team 2 will be the Axis.

von Manstein preferred to play Axis, I moved him to team two. Now I would need a volunteer from the Axis team to move to the Allied side... First come first served!

Any other changes, anyone?

Let us take our time, so that everyone is comfortable about the side he's on. Once everyone's selected their side, it will be a long war, and it is not possible to change sides (unless, of course you only play the Italians and we get into 1943 ;) )

Here's the setup as it currently stands:

Updated Nov 2:

Allied
Team Callsign Draft Rank
1 KKR 8 15
1 Ed 10 44
1 Cole 6 53
1 Larry Reese 4 57
1 Otto von Blotto 9 63
1 Zap 16 114
1 Outlaw J Wales 1 150
1 Arnold75 5 182
1 Mark W 19 (inact., would be '121,5')

Axis
Team Callsign Draft Rank
2 Bioman 12 28
2 JRTXX 17 58
2 Panzerjäger 15 62
2 Boisforas 7 67
2 v. Manstein 2 99
2 Ernst 11 106
2 Sgt K. Kat 3 124
2 Ashcloud 14 166
2 Kampfpanzer 18 184
2 pawn117 13 (bootcamp, almost out, hence '199')

As for the scenarios, I came into conclusion that with the given amount of players, those assigned to 1x1 games would actually play two scenarios, while those at the team games would just play that particular scenario. Thus, the overall time spent at the front lines would be more even. Come next round, those that played 1x1s would need to be assigned to team games, et vice versa.

And yes: you can still join in, we have plenty of 1935 - 1939 scenarios available for more participants!
