RE: tournament proposal
Hi Old Rocky

Very interesting idea for a Tourney.
You can count me in as a non CG player for any side you choose.

Can I suggest a couple of things?

First - paragraphs!
Your opening post is just a wall of text.
Some of our guys for whom English is not their first language will have an easier time reading, and most importantly, understanding these complex ideas for your tourney if you break it up a bit more, or a lot, than you have done in this thread.
Just a though Big Grin

Second - As we all play SP differently, and like / dislike different aspects of the mechanics of the game (the use of z-fire being a classic) I would suggest that a general ROE type rule set be created by you early enough that everyone gets a chance to get to grips with it before a battle is joined.

At least there will be no issues with force buying / composition, as you and the CG's will sort that out - but what is acceptable play on the map can be a TM's (that's you) nightmare. Everyone always thinks their preferred set of rules is the best, as that's what they are most comfortable with. Making an acceptable rule set, that is not too confusing or hard to police, will be crucial to keep the rules lawyering to a minimum.

I would also consider trying the do this not using Flags.
They give away the objectives so quickly (as soon as you open the map) and with the way that you will be controlling this game, knowing what the CGs have ordered and what units started the battle and what was there at the end, you should be able to make a call at the end of each game as to which commander has more successfully completed their assigned mission.

Again, that's just a thought, but I have played many excellent 'no flag' battles over the years and IMO they are always much more satisfying than ones with arbitrary flags.
Deciding the result is the tricky part of course.

I'd be happy to PM about how to successfully deal with no-flag games in general if it is of interest.

Thanks for getting a new concept up and running.
Kudos to you.
Now you just have to bring it on home....it'll be a very long tourney.

Cheers
