I’ve drawn the fixtures, and am creating a new thread for this, so it’s easier to find the list (and so we can continue to laugh at Paddy’s misfortune in the other thread).
Rules and structure:
We’re playing a league in the format of single rounds, with a different map and opponent each round. A match consists of 2 games, in which you play as allies in one, and axis in the other (decide on the order yourselves). When you report the result, do it in this thread and tell me the score in tickets for each game. If a match is tied 1-1 in games, the winner will be who had the most tickets left when they won (if the same then there’s no winner bonus). A point for the league is given per game won, and 1 point as a winner bonus, so that there’s a maximum of 3 points for a win.
Leave the maths to me if that sounds too complicated, but it’s not really, and is similar to how we ran our last mini tourney for RS, 10 years ago this month 🙂
Finally it’s meant as a light hearted event, with the goal of introducing players to the 1v1 side of the game. None of us are what the online community would call expert players, and infact we’re all at a noob level in game for classic 1v1, even Doc and Spunker. Try not and worry about being beaten, and if you need any help, keep your replay and post it up for us to watch.
The fixtures:
Matches do not have to be played in order, so arrange when to play the games between yourselves. With the number of players we have, each person will miss out on one of the 7 maps, and this will be represented as a “bye” below.
Map 1 – Angoville
Alzir v Spunker
Doc v Anobiz
Stalker v Jar
Streff – ByeMap 2 – Semois
Alzir – bye
Spunker v Doc

Spunker – ByeFinal Results:
Tournament ends on 31st July, and final standings will be posted on 1st August. For the sake of fairness, in terms of what to expect; any games not played by then will be defaulted, and anyone with 2 defaults against them will be be removed from the league, with any matches they’ve played being voided. If awarded a default win you get the maximum points and ticket difference. In the ridiclous event of someone having 2 opponents they can’t find a time to play, post in this thread and let me know during the final week (or earlier if it’s looking like a problem).

OK me and Doc did our matches this evening.
1st game I won 500 tickets to 1
2nd game Doc won 474 tickets to 3Really need to practice with vanilla axis! 😯
Ohh! so after reading how the scores go I guess I won Doc! muhahahaha
hehe. well i just need to run some errands quickly then i should be about but all dependent on the missus. You could always have a crack at skirmishing V the comp for now
Just btw, the game appears to lag the ticket count randomly at the end of a match, and no matter what it says on the screen the count for the defeated player is always zero in reality.
Oh and OP updated with classy wee league table, now that we’re under way 😉
I’ve been really busy this week sorting out some shit with my flat, but I’m hoping to get some time for my tourney games this weekend if anyone’s about and wants to do the same? I’m also free for any practice games people want or prefer to play, especially for the newer guys (although I’ll play Doc and Jonny as well for a laugh if they want :)).
Doc vs Stalker.
485 : 0 Axis win (Doc)
487 : 0 Allies win (Doc)
V. good game stalker… you are a natural.

I agree Ben, and I’m not trying to flatter you by saying that. The first game I had against you was really close, and while the next game was a bit more decisive, when I ran the replay, you lost basically because you lacked some experience of game mechanics, such as the effect of Wehrmacht veterancy and upgrades vs your rifles. I’m scared to help you out in that respect, but I imagine if I did, you’ll be walking all over me in the not too distant future.
On another point, I don’t like to add a rule in at the last minute, but I realised a flaw in the scoring system. Potentially a player could be losing on ticket count, but achieve a headquarters victory. If that loser had won or wins the reverse game, then it’s likely his ticket tally will be higher than the person who razed his HQ, which effectively renders the HQ win as self defeating. There’s maybe a better way of fixing this, but if we make it simple and just say that any remaining tickets are not counted on the losers side of a HQ win. HQ wins are rare, but if achieved, mention it when reporting the scores.
I tempted fate with that last comment about HQ victories being rare, and of course we just had one in my game vs Doc. The second game we had was brilliant and worth posting a replay of, when I can be bothered. Doc had me pushed almost all the way back, and really struggling for the resources I needed to counter his armour, but somehow I managed to hang on long enough to get some heavy armour of my own on the field and turn it around to win.
First game Alzir (US) win with 442 tickets left.
Second game Alzir (Wehrmacht) HQ win with 40 tickets to Docs 129.League table image fixed, and updated.

hehe, same here, although obviously not in Spain for what’s likely to be a mental night 🙂 I stupidly agreed to do overtime the day after the world cup final, and have to be up at 6 🙁
I’m about this afternoon though, nursing last night’s hangover.
