RE: It's a Long Way to Tipperary - Round 4 - Steel God - 11-21-2025 My apologies to the organizer and other players, but I must respectfully withdraw from this Tournament. RE: It's a Long Way to Tipperary - Round 4 - HMCS Rosthern - 11-21-2025 With the dropout we need to even out the number of participants Is there anyone out there who wants to join this tournament? Is there anyone on the AXIS side who wants to drop out? Otherwise, I will join to even out the numbers. Witblitz, stay tuned for your opponent. RE: It's a Long Way to Tipperary - Round 4 - ComradeP - 11-21-2025 The scenarios have the same balance issue: very limited objective points relative to victory levels, just like the El Alamein scenario in the first round. It does look like a considerably more interesting scenario than the one for the first round, even if the Allies are likely to lose. I look forward to playing it.

Check out 440523_01: Operation Buffalo - PzC 13 Salerno '43 - TheBlitz The comments appear to indicate that the scenario is balanced, although the results suggest a pro-axis tilt. RE: It's a Long Way to Tipperary - Round 4 - ComradeP - 11-21-2025 I checked that. The two players calling it Well Balanced won Axis Major Victories and the only Allied (Major) Victory was by someone who had also won a Major Axis Victory. If the Allied player captures every objective on the map, he exceeds the Major Defeat threshold by 101 points. It's quite possible the Axis position will fold at some point, but it's certainly a challenging scenario. Loss points being more important than objectives might work for a campaign game, but for small or medium sized scenarios it's not ideal. RE: It's a Long Way to Tipperary - Round 4 - Brancaleone - 11-21-2025 I played the “_Alt” version of the scenario as the Axis and I can say that even in that version, the only chance of success for the Allied player was to inflict as many losses as possible on the opponent, given the low value of the objectives. Perhaps in the chosen version, the ally has a few more opportunities, given that the infantry and German paratroopers do not possess offensive HA, meaning they have very little chance of countering the allied tanks. Furthermore, I believe that their anti-tank guns are quite vulnerable, thus compromising a valid defense unless armored vehicles are employed. In any case, in my opinion, the Allied player will still have to make a great effort to achieve a result that is not defeat. RE: It's a Long Way to Tipperary - Round 4 - HMCS Rosthern - 11-21-2025 On my Salerno '43, Version 4.05.3h2, this is a list of scenarios that fit the time frame of the tournament, i.e., approximately 30 turns or a minimum of 2 sets of night turns. For reference, I included the theblitz.club scenario record, (i.e., "Axis 2-0-3" means Axis had 2 wins, 0 draws, and 3 losses, and "Allies 3-4-15" means Allies had 3 wins, 4 draws and 15 losses). It was very difficult to select a scenario from this list, and I went with the one that I though was the best fit, and provided a multi-day challenge. I am looking for guidance on which scenario to use for the tournament, and I am happy to change the scenario. ![[Image: Si43Scenarios.png]](https://www.theblitz.club/uploads/files/cf7/Si43Scenarios.png)
RE: It's a Long Way to Tipperary - Round 4 - ComradeP - 11-21-2025 Arguably, it's hard to pick a scenario if most scenarios have only been played a few times. I don't mind playing a scenario I might very well lose if it's entertaining. Scenarios that seem gimmicky are frustrating to play, but the Operation Buffalo scenario offers a good fight. Everyone is also competing for the prize from the random draw, so anyone can win something. As I said, I look forward to the challenge, but I do agree with the assessment that the objective points are off (as they are in numerous scenarios across most titles, I may add).
