Just as I was ready to kick start the tournament, my SPWAW files have been corrupted and now I have to reinstall! [:(] Nevermind, start without me. Play each other and post the results. I'll be back with a vengeance! [;)]

<t> great turnout so far! i'm pretty sure we can count in Willy, Hellcat, Minefield and maybe Mangudai and Jaminji, so we should probably stop entries at the end of next week. The tournament has officially started. The only rule is that both opponents have exactly the same forces when the game ...

Respect is what I mean, we lost our appetite for Borshch after meeting those Mothers!

<t> I like the latter NZSMG squads. Armed with 2in Mortars, SMG's, a bren and a Piat, these are good all round infantry. Unfortunately, I very rarely hit anything with a PIAT! Ok, and Brens are not the scary either. Oh what the heck, I like Rangers, too! The latter era Commandos are great - armed to ...

<t> Welcome h_h_lightcap! <br/>
<br/>
As an example, here is the shopping list I'm sending to VikingNo2.<br/>
<br/>
The scenario: Following a heated drunken dispute within a SO Battalion HQ, over Stalin, a woman and vodka, two Colonels rally those troops loyal to them and go for each others ...

<t> Sorry mate, but you're too bloody violent, from what I've heard! Just kidding. Welcome aboard! <br/>
<br/>
Probably stop entries in a couple of weeks (give Mangudai a chance to get back). And we'll probably need a couple of months to finish. I suppose the entries should be capped, otherwise a ...

<t> How about it? Ok, the action hasn't started yet, but it should be getting under way very soon. Here's my chance to get decimated by everybody without having an excuse to fall back on. Actually, it was taking a thrashing from Stephen "Willy" that made me decide to do this. Most of you will know ...

<t> How about it? Actually, it was taking a thrashing from Stephen "Willy" that made me decide to do this. Most of you will know how difficult it is to select evenly matched forces. This tournament seeks to completely rectify that, in order that strategic skill becomes the sole criteria - oh, and ...

<t> How about it? Actually, it was taking a thrashing from Stephen "Willy" that made me decide to do this. Japs vs US in '45 - ouch! Most of you will know just how difficult it is to select evenly matched forces. This tournament seeks to completely rectify that, in order that strategic skill and ...

<t> Except there's a technical hitch and the game isn't starting at this end. <br/>
<br/>
Other than that, I can't believe how inaccurate my tanks are! [:@] And can somebody tell me why my idiots keep 'pulling forward' rather than 'back'?? <br/>
<br/>
How can a commander plan for such ...

60 tigers against 4 17-pounders??? What the hell are you waiting for, Minefield?! [;)]

<t> The game finished early, probably because Hellcat held all the VH's and there wasn't a fat lot of good I could do about it because my army was totally decimated. I still had a couple of tanks left and some machine guns, bazookas and rangers, but he had twice as many forces left. The game said ...

BIG Battle!
funkiwi's Soviets vs Mangudai's Americans in the Ukraine Fog. It's 11,000pts each. So far Soviet 150mm battery has fallen heavily on the US start line. That will teach them to mill about on the only road in the area! US recon has now engaged SO recon.

<r> Max pts and formations!<br/>
funkiwi - ANZACs <br/>
minefield - Germans <br/>
<br/>
This game is already well underway, with several casualties on both sides. <br/>
<br/>
Too many tigers to tally! The ANZACs and doing everything they can with their limited collection of US , British and ...

<t> Luftwaffe seem to be rebelling against the Furher! Either that or too much shnapps! They are attacking their own vehicles... that is, when they're not being shot down! [:D] <br/>
<br/>
Cavalry in the South has been decimated.<br/>
[:(] The Nazis have us stretched and their bombs are ...

<t> That's good to know, hellcat. Very reassuring! You know, most of us here in the US are truly quite excited by the prospect of communism. In theory, it allows for a far more equitable future. Stalin is a great man! We have no doubt that accepting him as God will sustain us through the difficult ...

<t> Give me motorcycles over horses, any day! With all those halftracks spread over the open ground (and tanks from here to Jupiter!), it's a killing field, this steppe. <br/>
<br/>
My purchase and deploy options have failed to suit the conditions. This rookie commander is not used to warfare in ...

<t> An M7-Priest sent a flame tank to Hell! Little more than a consolation prize. The red army continues to search for our arty park. [:D] To the North, a small force breaks out of the town for a wee holiday in the snow. SO cavalry makes nice target practice for Pershing. Good way to keep the hands ...

<r> The Soviets have the numbers on us, have from the outset. Our intelligence was wrong - those flammin' flame tanks are portable WMDs!!! <SM sm="00000003.gif">[sm=00000003.gif]</SM><br/>
<br/>
We have paid dearly for our lack of intelligence. A Sherman gone, a Greyhound gone, another halftrack ...

<r> Intelligence not required on that one. The last thing the Rangers said before I lost them was: "That ain't beetroot soup spilling out of them bullet holes!"<br/>
<br/>
Flamming bush and woe in snow! [:@] Lost a Sherman and an AA to flame and it hurts. [:-] Lost the central Vh's, about to lose ...
