Strategic Command Classic competition

[JasonPratt]

NECROTHREAD, ARIIISS... wait, it isn't dead yet?

I blame me.

...for it being almost dead. Not for it being not dead yet.





It's getting better.


Anyway. Shell and I are on Turn 47 or something like that, and the End is surely Nigh. Should be finishing up soon.

[Boggit]

I thought I'd look in to see if there was anything to update, but it seems almost everyone is away on their hols. :)

@Jason and Shell
Good to see things are moving along. I hope you're enjoying the games? \m/

[JasonPratt]

Well, one of us is for sure. The other is enjoying planning for the rematch.  >:D

[Shelldrake]

Well, one of us is for sure. The other is enjoying planning for the rematch.  >:D

After a bleak start for the Soviets (I can't count the number of armies/corps destroyed in the German offensive) the shoe is on the other foot now. :)

If you've (the Soviets) managed to make it through the winter of '41, the Germans are in deep poo poo.

Upgraded for accuracy. Quoted for truth.  :hide:

[JasonPratt]

At this point, while I've got a nice defensive line set up on my North Front, Shelldrake has effectively flanked it at least three levels deep, and can take my backfield with impunity. I have no way to protect Berlin, so to save time I'm going to tip the king and concede a full win to Shell.

Are we supposed to do best two out of three now? Because I'm willing to try again as the Nazis, in the perennial puzzle of how to win Barbarossa.  O:-)

Not really.

For the purpose of the competition, the consensus was that we do mirror games to eliminate the possibility of bias due to the relative weakness of one side to the other adversely affecting a player's score.

Obviously, if you and Shelldrake want to play the scenario again that is entirely up to you (and I hope you have a lot of fun with it). O0

However, I must keep the original scores posted here because to do otherwise is potentially unfair to the other players.

[JasonPratt]

Certainly the original score must be posted. I just didn't know what we were supposed to do next.

...which, I guess I still don't know.  :-\

If you're wondering who plays who in which scenario... post #137 has the lineup.

[JasonPratt]

Ah, right, been a while since I saw that, forgot it existed:

JasonPratt (Soviet) vs Yskonyn (Allies) -- Stalin Drives West

[Millipede]

Hmmm... That will be interesting especially since I get the same scenario against Yskonyn as the Soviets when you guys are through.

[JasonPratt]

Also, maybe now I can properly remind myself to continue with the start of our awesome Red Thunder randomly generated scenario that we started playing, gosh, was it last year?? The first shot was just fired!! -- and then I got distracted by other shiny things and never got back to it.

Are you guys happy to play this competition at your own pace, or do you want me to enforce any cut offs to speed up the competition?

If you're happy as you are then we can leave things as they are. I really don't mind so long as you're all happy. Let me know your thoughts. :)
