AWBW 'No holds barred' Tournament - Round 3 (WOAH WHAT)

[Kamuscha]

[quote="Dhomochevsky"][url=http://AWBW.amarriner.com/game.php?games_id=129215]Kam vs Hellraider[/url] is looking interesting... now that Grit has a solid block and greater attacking numbers than Colin (!) the balance of power seems to lie with Grit as an impenetrable wall with bonus infantry covered by a battleship up north to even the funds imbalance.



Colin's battleships could break the deadlock, but they're being bullied around by artillery at the moment. Also, Colin has no room for new units on the west side thanks to the central-east battleship and the arty block, so something has to give before he gets steamrolled.



Two things should be interesting; the moment when Grit has to advance, and the results of Colin COP/SCOP. Grits advance will be the moment Colin almost certainly has to attack or be wiped out, so if Grit can maintain his block solidly enough, Colin's in trouble unless he techs up in some way - his rocket goes some way towards this but then Grit also has 2 rockets. Will it be a masterclass in Grit artillery tactics or can vast funds to tech up break the deadlock??[/quote]

The game is now concluded with a bitter end for Hellraider. I hoped to see how things looked by day 30, but fate cut it to day 18, leaving me in the darkest depths of wandering helpless from not knowing the end result. Doubts about my next game have already been bred and infected my entire reasoning chambers, but one thing is certain, my next challenger will face harsh trials in the path towards victory.

My game with Rockman is getting messy but near completion (should just need a couple of turns to get the HQ ). I think thats the last outstanding game (sorry for the time its taken so far!) but the next round can gear up soon, if smacky is still around?

[Dhomochevsky]

Ok our game is over

You want the best evidence? Look at the Felix Apex game on page 1.

the first rounds were pretty intense and fun with everyone analysing the map used by all.

Getting eliminated was quite a downer, especially with tourneys so few and far between back then. I think if those guys hadnt been eliminated that could have helped keep them involved in AWBW .. (but who knows). Still for future tourneys we might try more for non-elimination torney format, eg swiss system

Glad I got kicked by Ultra Storm, I would have killed the responsible guys for not pushing on this tourney...

[Kamuscha]

So now what happens at this point?

[blanci1]

ok. mainsite down again so thought id chip in...
In the absense of the usual organisers, the 3 remaining participants could try to organise the semis and the final... perhaps by appointing a couple of "officials" to co-ordinate or even make decisions on map choice and stuff. Im sure there would be plenty of volunteers to help out, either as officials or just throwing in ideas and stuff. I think these last rounds could be interesting to see.

I don't mind continuing the tournament. The problem was that half the players went AWOL.

If anyone is able to get hold of Dhomo maybe we could finish? Dhomo vs Ultra, Kam vs Apex

[Felix45]

[mrapex]

Yea, i can do mine, I think it will be fun
