Hallo John

 

I had a computer problem for a few days and have not had a chance to comment on the scenarios proposed.

 

I thought they were good choices and I am lucky enough to have played them all before although never more than once.

 

I would second the query of the balance of Scenario A as it had occurred to me that I was confident the Japanese would be favoured in this. I am not sure I could be an authority on it with only one play.

 

See you on Friday

 

Regards 

 

Robert Lloyd

Hi John,
 
Played the Mindanao scenario yesterday against Lawrence (only my second Pacific game). I am a little concerned from playing it and reading the posts on Geek that it is very unbalanced towards the Japanese. Any thoughts?
 
Cheers
 
Mike Smith

Since no one has commented on my previous post I'm assuming that there
are no complaints about my proposed format. Thank you all for your
implied confidence in my arrangements. Now I've just got to get all
the fiddly little details done.

Also I'll probably be able to organise seeding of subsequent rounds
although this is dependent on 2 things:
1. That I understand how this works (easy enough AFAIK: just match up
the top 2, the next 2, etc).
2. That each game is played in a timeframe which permits this; if
we're aiming for 2 games each session then I don't forsee any
difficulties here.
cheers,
John

Uh, yeah, I think you are doing it right ... (which game are we playing
here...I can't even remember who is running what. Anyway it will be nice to
come to the tournaments and meet people. I booked all the board wargame
tournaments last year and never turned up due to a sudden cash heamoragghe.
I am really looking forward to it.)

Hi there Mike,
what you say is pretty true I guess. I chose it nonetheless because it
has a low unit count; for the board configuration; and because I thought
it'd be an interesting challenge. I guess scenarios E: West Tank Barrier
or F: Stalemate could be substituted; scenario H: Dog Plus Eight at a
pinch. I'm reluctant to go with any other narrow configuration
Japanese/US scenarios because they push the unit count higher than I'm
comfortable with.
 
The alternative- of switching the board configurations for the national
matchups, falls foul of my self-imposed unit count requirement, ie. that
it be as low as possible. So I could go with E I guess; in fact I can
say that I will unless anyone else thinks it's a bad idea. This is a
challenging scenario too but I prefer it to F myself.
 
I admit I may be being over cautious here but I'm keeping playing time
in mind. If I am proved to be over cautious we can always bear this in
mind for next year. Thanks for your comments Mike. Looking forward to
seeing you all again in a few days. My best wishes to you and yours.
cheers,
John

Robert,
hello again. Thanks for your kind words. Just so you know: I decided to go with scenario E: West Tank Barrier. It's still tough but not so notorious. That's it for now. See you Friday. In the meantime, all the best to you and yours.
cheers,
John
