CMBS Alby Round 3 - Match Ups

No spoilers here, but IMO this battle wasn’t a lot of fun! Mirror image race to the flag(s) scenarios feel very unrealistic and gamey. This one’s even worse due to the uncontested dominance of air support!

Combine this battle with the final round meeting engagement/race to the flag(s) scenario in the current FW RT tournament, and it’s been my idea of hell!

Sorry Sly/Alby, you won’t normally hear me moan about the FW tournaments as I appreciate how much time you both spend putting them together. I realise that there is a lot of thought, time and effort in setting this up, but if I had one request it would be no more mirrored race to the flags, please

Moan over. Let the normal service resume….
 
Yes, feed back is always good.

My flags in my battle were touch objectives. so yes still a race to the flags, but my flags did not need to be held.

it was a effort to force the players to push the infantry forward quickly and get them involved in the battle.

At least I was not tieing them to a spot that death would surely be given.



Timing of battles was not a concept thought about.
actually, Alby is wearing his big boy pants now.
I did not even look at or review that battle, he will likely get enough feed back from you guys that will help him as to his designs.

I do find what he is doing very detailed as to what he know the game is capable of with the different weapon systems.

Also, I dont want to turn him into a me as to design concepts. I like it when designers have different approaches, when a designer thinks there is only one correct method
well, that is limiting to him and also to the potential of what can be done.

I will not name names, but there is one on the staff that has a way of doing it and it is very consistant on each design and I doubt any imput would ever change it.
Good work, but very predictable if you pay attention to that stuff.

Yeah, sorry ALBY. It was my personal opinion only. It was actually a clever concept, just not to my taste. And the previous two battles were both well designed and fun to play (IMPO). So, it definitely wasn’t meant to be a criticism.
 
two games now completed and a AAR thread has been started.

As for other outstanding games. You should be at a least to file # 15 at this point.

Most are well past it, sad to say, two games are not even there yet.


With many games moving quickly, if you are playing slow it will not fair well for you.
I normally base the deadline on the spead of the majority, add a little grace for the slowest games and decide on a date.
Just a heads up, the gap in the games this round is pretty wide spread.
