The Storm in the East Tournament - Round 1

[H]

I Find it strange someone got completely taken out so quick.

It unbalances the games points standing.

This is what is pissing me off. you can debate the rules of the tournament all day but leave my integrity out of it. if you don't believe me ask my opponent. and actually it wasn't so few objectives its focusing on what will win you the game, with the 4 objective i went for (AND HELD AT THE END OF THE GAME) i would have been in the lead as far as victory points not to mention had flanking over watch on the center bridge and ford allowing reinforcements to assault those positions. like i said when you start insulting me its just crybaby tactics and i don't really care if i hurt your poor sensitive little feelings.

Not sure why you think you were called a liar in anything I wrote, if your reference was related to anything I posted - I was trying to figure how how the 1350 points were arrived at as per your description of how the game went. I asked a couple of times in my posts and was not answered directly if the GAME SYSTEM itself awarded ALL the points to a player if the other guy surrendered. In all the games I have played I have never used the surrender mode so I didn't know how the game SCORED a surrender. In the games I have played if one of us wanted to surrender, we just recorded a total victory for the winner and never looked at or used the points screen on the AAR.

Just for grins I opened up the game as a single player game and had the Russians surrender on the first turn and voila!! 1350 points to the Germans and not a shot was fired. I didn't know that losses and objectives had nothing to do with the scoring using the surrender mode, so then mystery solved - the two of you used the surrender mode and you got all the points, as per the game's scoring.

So now that my question has been answered, that reinforces the point made here a few times in these posts that surrendering skews the outcome in a points based tourney and backs up the reason to use the ceasefire mode if one player wants to quit, as I suggested earlier. That is a more accurate accounting of how the fighting went.

Bottom line to me is that given how the Game SCORES a surrender, then surrenders shouldn't be allowed - only cease fires. My posts were directed at how a surrender outcome unbalances the points totals in the tourney and had nothing to do with how your game went, so my apologies if offense was taken.

No offense either to Raz or anyone else here for the game's surrender option points impact on scoring not being considered in the beginning. I was just interested in having a level playing field and using the surrrender option's point determination clearly doesn't allow for that.
