Field warriors - CMBS ALBY Round 1 Match Ups

[ALBY]

So wouldn’t it be fairer to get all games to ceasefire at the same point as it’s a tournament?

here is where we are.

the file issue is intermittent. games have completed and some are stopped at turn 33.

i have been able to get some games going.

i have been transparent about the file issue.

so, i would like to ask that we all keep playing and remain positive.

we are here to have fun and on average, per game, you guys are dropping a combined 15 tons of bombs on live PBEM oppo. looks like we broke the software. we will certainly incorporate the lessons learned into future missions. i am doing my best but also learning on the job.

Yes fair enough. All good at this end. BTW it was a really good scenario, just a shame about the file issue. Keep up the great work

Thank you for your patience. We will keep pushing the limits and getting better.

My suspicion is that the cause of the issue is the egregious amount of aviation. I say this because in the tourney and now numerous test match in the can, I have seen other strangeness around RED Aviation. Like bombs landing 1km off map, planes engaging a skyscraper with ATGM, and 4 circling URD planes hardly do anything and go 'Winchester' and RTB. Yet, in other games, they dropped all their bombs with impressive results. I tested and tested and RED needed many planes for gameplay reasons I can't fully go into for OPSEC. I have developed an alternative strategy based on this experience. I've never been able to buy or use aviation to good effect in a PBEM and I think that's the case for most. There is nothing in all the CM world like a 1500kg bomb when it's on target. So, I engineered a game where we got to play with bombs. I might have overdone it a little.

Planes are generally unreliable from my experience.
I did extensively test the german bomb tornados in sf2 and they reliably drop one of the 4 bombs offmap and its usually the first aswell.
Between that, their price and long callin time its rarely worth buying bomb planes in QB PBEM.
