tournament proposal

[oldrocky]

I like the idea of some displayed V hexes at strategic locations and hidden V hexes for CG chosen objectives. I like the z-fire, arty, reserve, scoring, experience, supply settings, and mechanics of how orders and comms will occur.

I have one concern, the map...

The map favors the GE force attacking in the center and south sections due to the stream that resides on the east side, with the option to attack in the north. Conversely the SO force has only one favorable attack map, the north. This provides greater flexibility to the GE force, which seems unfair.

South map has only two locations where vehicles can cross the stream (the single ford is bracketed by mud hexes), both wooden bridges are susceptible to destruction. Center map has no bridges or fords. The one non-water path to center is at least 12 hexes of dense wood which will either be easy to ambush or, if taking a longer route, eat up a significant portion of the 20 turns available. If keeping the map, I suggest making the bridges in the south stone while either: a) adding two stone bridges in the center or b) one stone bridge and thinning that wood (see attach edited maps for map slots 333 and 334). Even with these changes, the SO force will have to negotiate choke points.

The individual map sections seem narrow. One possible alternative is to overlap them such that each map section is 50 hexes wide (the center would lap top and bottom maps by 5 hexes and the top and bottom would lap the center map by 10 hexes). This could meld well with transfer of forces between Commanders.

As i said to Roman just a couple posts ago this is not the map it is only a test map. Very sorry but so busy right now. We'll get this sorted out soon and begin the tourney.

May I propose to set this tournament idea on the Blitz front page?
Other tournaments seem to land there too and I bet that will cause some extra attention and maybe some more players.

Sorry for the delay in answering your post. I just moved and I'm super busy and it'll be a couple more days before I can devote time to SP.

I'll talk with Weasel about your suggestion. We've been waiting for enough players. Are you interested in joining/commanding a team?

Well if you need another player for the Germans I'm in.

Looks like we're about to begin. Would everyone who is going to be playing send me an email or a response to this post please.

Here is the roster so far:

Buckaroo
Air Master
SaS Troop
Roman
Ratel
KAreil
BigDuke66

I'm working on the map now. If we can get one more team member then that would make 4 sectors on the map so if anyone else is interested please let me know.

Ok Brett. You have my e_mail. :)
I hope my commander is compassionate and support my weaknesses :)

[Ratel]

You have got my e-mail too.

I am in - I will ask JBE Hale and Alex Parkin

Thanks Roman.

Before I build the map I need to know how many players and thus how many sectors I need to create.

I've been trying to reach those that are interested in this tourney using the emails provided by the Blitz but haven't been getting responses. Could everyone who is going to participate please email at: [email protected] so that I may have a correct email address? It is time to start TEAM PLAY 44.
