sounds awesome

Tournament Note:
The Nationalist factories for Red Sun Over China were not working as intended. In fact, they were not working at all (other than in the capital). I have changed the XML to make these work as normal factories (ignore the notes about them starting out as damaged). The new map to be downloaded can be found here:
http://cellargaming.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=8
This is NOT the same as what is at the depot! Dawg and I are testing this, and there may be some small changes – if I make more modifications I will let you know. I will see about uploading it to the depot at TripleA, but I figured that we could test it here first. This should make the game flow much better now – awesome map!
-
I’m intrigued but unsure, I’d be new to all of the games, would the brackets all be started at the same time (so I’d get 8 new games with 8 sets of rules I have to learn)?
Allright, I’ll play em all!
-
Okay, so for another update:
I thought that Red Sun Over China was ready to play because I had played it on an old TripleA engine. Apparently some of the new engine changes broke some of the features. So, my play is to be fixing those so that we can play the map for next year.
However, as dawgoneit pointed out to me, it becomes very confusing to have so many player enforced rules as it currently stands. It’s fine to have a few, but not as many as we would have to go with. So, I think we should table that and see if I can get that XML working by next December.
In the meantime, are you guys up for changing that bracket to the Lord Of The Rings map? I will transfer over the Red Sun Over China entries to that one, so if you would like to play and weren’t signed up (or don’t want to play and were signed up) just let me know.
So, does that change work? Just over two weeks until the first bracket is set!
-
sounds good to me.
I do hope you can fix the red sun over china.
it will be a fun game -
Yeah, that sounds good to me as well.
-
Fine with me. I won’t be here from dec 3rd till 12th, so I won’t respond to any questions, just throw me in all the brackets and all will be well ;)
-
Just a few days left to sign up! I will be starting the first bracket (NWO) on Tuesday, December 15. So, if you have been lurking now is your chance to join us! :)
-
(I hate not being able to edit on these boards – this is why moving forward some of the tournament material will be on an editable board)
Actually, the first game to be paired will be World At War – we will go in the same order as the signups are listed.
-
Can I sign up or is it too late?
-
Sure, you can still sign up! Which games did you want to play, or did you want all eight? (Lord of the Rings replaced Red Sun Over China btw)
-
Yeah I can do all eight.
-
The tournament bracket and win post thread has been started:

You will find information on where to find the brackets and so forth there. Please post all questions and comments regarding the tournament there from now on. Thanks!

Hey all. So looks like we are getting started and WaW is the first map. Are there any basic guides to WaW as I haven’t played it before. I’ve played most of the official A&A games at this point so does it primarily use revised or v3 rules? Just looking for some basic guidance to make sure I don’t lose the game in round 1 :)
-
Hi redrum
I haven’t played it either so IDK if this will help much. I’m pretty sure it’s NWO combined with another map so it’s global now.

Well, I’m not sure if any of us are at expert level on WaW yet, but we have had some experience in the tournament that we are finishing up. Here is a listing of our completed games so far with saves:

Of course, you may be viewing garbage in, garbage out. :-D
The map with description is found here:
http://cellargaming.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=163
Of course that’s mainly information from TripleA itself, but there are a few things in red that may better clarify a few things (such as canals).
And, finally, Whack and a few others posted some good things on this page of our 2nd team game that can be found here:
http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=35621.30
After our tournaments, my next goal for the cellar gaming site is to post strategy articles and suggestions there – for example, I’m going to need one as soon as I finish the NWO postings since I’m very much a newbie there… 8-)
