[Marijn_Nashorn]

wow! a battle completed already!
I still wait for the first round of action...

I hope you guys do not have to wait to start playing the next round untill all first round battles are finished.
Because as far as my battle is concerned, that might bring us well into the winter..... of 2014...

[Wicked Pete]

I hope not. We only have two turns left.

[raz_atoth]

No,i plan to start the second round on the tournament in about 6 weeks or so there will be no waiting... Each with his own pace ;)

The game between A Canadian Cat and Stetman has ended. I have reported it as described in the opening post.

Tactical Victory for me 400 - 0

Well done Stetman. My initial success was severely slowed down by the defense and time ran out on me. Stetman denied me one objective due to a single soldier left standing. If only there were more time. I am not sure if I could have dislodged the force on the south horse shoe - even with more time.

[raz_atoth]

Well done to both of you ;)

[Stetman]

Well played game by A Canadian Cat. His attack was well planned and executed. I enjoyed the game and look forward to the next.

Naughtkris= Majory Victory.

It was a hard pressed battle. Sandy slaughtered my poor troops left right and centre. His tanks on average had 20 kills each. I didn't take out a single one of his tanks.

I made several critical mistakes;
(1) It wasn't until turn 30 that I realized I wasn't going to get points for kills.
(2) I placed my ATGs completely in the wrong spots, making them uninvovled in the battle.
(3) I didn't realized until turn 45 that there was going to be 5 "bonus" turns.
(4) It wasn't until i saw the score screen that I realized the two sides had slightly different victory zones. It was only my typical holding fashion style of play that I happened to be still fighting for what turned out to be one or two of his victory zones.


I'll report that game as requested.

POSSIBLE SPOILER BELOW

I would like to say, I'm not sure this is the best scenario for play as a non-blind tourney, for as the defender part of the setup is the surprise factor of those two stugs. Once seen by the opponent during his study of the defenders setup, it makes them mostly moot. Don't get me wrong, I had plenty of fun and challenge and a great opponent, just saying maybe a blind tourney would have been better if possible.

Congratz on the victory. Looks like you did really well.

Who's ever been training you must be one heck of a teacher!

Excellent, I just clued in that we have our first German victory. This kind of results is just the thing that can win a tournament. Well done.

I certainly have had a good teacher. (note naughtkris has been kicking me around the battle field since I stared on the ladder - I can finally give him a decent game now)
