Alan,

Let me start things off by saying a big thanks for putting this tournament together! It is a great idea and should be a lot of fun.

And similarly, I am sure everyone greatly appreciates your sacrificing yourself to Oz in the first round. Of course, one could view it as an opportunity to achieve incredible glory by taking down the rarely defeated Oz. :)

Or like myself, Alan could just be a glutton for punishment.:bang:
But when you want to be the best, you play the best.:bow:

I have no illusions on how I'll do against Ozgur, but I do look at my games with him as a sort of seminar on how to be a better player. I haven't played him in quite a while, so I'm at least hoping that I'm a better player than I was a three years ago.

The tough thing for me, on top of playing the best, is that my real weakness in terms of SB is vehicles/armor. I haven't found the right balance yet. I tend to either get too aggressive, which gets your tanks killed, or too passive, which means you don't achieve your objectives. This should be interesting, given the nature of this scenario is, of course, mechanized infantry!
