THE MAIN EVENT III! Arrow vs. Moondog

[Der Kuenstler]

Welcome back, fight fans! Owl decided to run rather than play me in a battle of ELO leaders (LOL) - no, seriously - he said he would like to play, but he will be traveling abroad for the next three months - so that battle will have to be postponed until later.

But for the present we are excited to have two available vicious competitors in Arrow and Moondog(FGM). This battle will be fought in Italy in 1944, and these guys both love to play CMAK. It would be accurate to call each of them a CMAK specialist. When either of them sends out a CMAK setup, think twice about accepting it unless you don't mind losing, because they are good at it - real good!

Here are the tentative parameters:

3000 point CMAK meeting engagement
September of '44
Italy
Force mix: combined arms
Nationality: unrestricted
Quality: unrestricted
Rarity: on
Imported map
Midday
Cool
Clear
Breeze
33+ turns

The biggest difference from the first two battles is the combined arms setting. We won't see any tank parades this time! Commanders will need a balanced strategy.

To add some spice I am planning to give each player one elite armored unit with their name put on it. I plan to give the Axis player an Elite Panther IVG Late, and the Allies an Elite M4A3(76) W Sherman, loaded up with tungsten. The Panther has frequent armor flaws in front plating and costs more to lose. Seemed like a fairly even matchup - as close as I could get.

If agreeable, then each player will send me a number between 1-20 and the one who picks closest to my number will get to pick their side.

The map for this contest is very good - made especially for the Main Event by Ratzki. The arena is already filling up for this one.



Next up: we will look at the map!
