Group G

koonal vs CzarTim
Game One

Draw with two kills each.

Game 127360 - I've tried uploading four times and it keeps failing

This one makes me sick as I should of won. I didn't think there was any way the blast radius could get me from that distance. Good game, koonal.

Its just a bit annoying because what it shows my opponent and I is what the result should be. Our group is very close and it will probably come down to K/D and the results are going to be based on the videos which isn't actually how the games played out. Sorry for complaining.
Click to expand...

Dont worry, I check the videos and mark the results after exactly 40 seconds of play. Meaning 45 seconds in the video.

Meaning in the first game you won with 2 guys standing, and in the last game you won with 3 guys standing.

Toma, I fear you made a little mistake in the spreadsheet. In Group B, you put two youtubes for Dascu vs Dutfish and Dutfish vs Dascu. They're both the same match though. We have yet to fight our second match.
Click to expand...

Corrected, probably happened because you both posted it and nobody pointed out it was already posted :p I didnt notice its the same vid either because the colors were different.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And of course, the rest also has been updated. As always: Check your own statistics in the tourney table whether they are correct.

welford vs. Nevvermore:

welford: Win, 0 soldiers lost
Nevvermore: Loss, 3 soldiers lost

not as fun as the first game though.
Click to expand...

I got really pissed at myself after that game. I didn't think it through and I was sure I had at least one of your guys in the first round. In the end it turned out I had thought one step too far and second-guessed myself to the point were all your guys survived and then I got impatient and you slaughtered me. I'll have to win all the rest of my games to get into top 2, which isn't very likely at this point.

I think you just log into the UK1 server and it will create your name there automatically. At least that's what I did and it seemed to work fine.

One more game to report, BigAT vs. Anilusion, Match 1:

Sent the challenges for Match 2 to BigAT, cramen and Anilusion.
I have no means of uploading to youtube so if my opponents could do it in my place like BigAT did it would be nice, otherwise I'll ask Toma to give me the coordinates for the shared account.
In any case good games to anyone up until now.

It's annoying when you rush yours play after a server reset as you know what your moves are only to remember the order your troops do things isn't the order that you put them in. Also that was the most frustrating match I've ever had when I watched the replay OldGamer, if I just kept my guy covering the south east building and had my other two take out your northernmost character I would have been ahead on the 5th turn. Stupid, stupid me.

Guys I am really sorry but I have to drop out after the fact...I just have too much work on my plate the coming days, more than expected. So it would be awesome if anyone could replace me but if not...would that be an issue?

Sorry for making it so complicated.

Nah, no problem. Good luck with what you need to do, though!

Group C now only consists of 4 people. Just for the record.

And btw, darksagus is korei8 on UK1, I changed the participants list and tourney table.

Everything updated so far.

OldGamer vs SpiritOFJazz (second match)
winner: OldGamer

kills: Oldgamer 2 - SpiritOfJazz 1

video

After my defeat in the 1st match, I was overly cautious in this one and I was lucky Spirit wasn't too agressive either. My MG in the southwest was too frightened to move, even though he was such an easy target for enemies coming from behind: luckily those enemies never came. :)

How are people getting the rockets to hit the cover? Mine just sail right over it and off the map. Also, like before, I can not get my guys to disengage. They just sit there and die. Last night I started up a shot with my grenadier and got a quick peek of a shotgunner. I tried to stop him from firing at all cost. Continue on sight, ignore enemy, cancel aim...... nothing worked. He just stood there for 3 seconds and got shot. I'm in the same situation in a gmae now. I had my gren lob a grenade and run. Now he saw a gunner, and I can't get him to just disengage him and take a step back.

Once your GL or RL is in the act of firing, you can't stop him no matter what.

To hit cover with a rocket you have to kneel before you fire.

If your rocket unit is ducked his rockets will hit cover spots. As for the other problem, once they go into the act of shooting grenade and rocket units can't be stopped until they've fired.

From my experience, if the killing shot is fired just before the end of a turn, no matter what you do in the following turn, the "doomed" man will always die. The shot is lethal as soon as it comes out from the weapon.
Click to expand...

My complaint wasn't about the killing shot as much as that on my version of the game the shot hit the room next to me and not me. On his it was a clean shot so it's obviously just a jank thing for now.

Lost 4-1 to Snoopeasystreet

I had one match where I had one of my men killed and in the following turn he was still alive, while his foe was dead. Maybe some sync issues between players.

TheConfidenceMan beat me with, well, with confidence I guess :)

TheConfidenceMan: WIN
Killed: 3
Lost: 1

Jigsama: LOSE
Killed:1
Lost: 3

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_i-ttdZQqAM
Since TheConfidenceMan is offline I've taken the liberty of uploading the vid, should be OK I guess.

We started out with 3 MGs each. I lost one due to a mistake from me/good anticipation by my opponent. Then I might have had a chance to even out the score but it's hard to really push with only MGs. I tried to push it, but guessed wrong and ended up with bulletholes in all my green guys. Their vatform lives snuffed out, just like that. Ah well, more where those came from :)

So gg's to TheConfidenceMan, well played :)

Oops - Just gotten round to getting on here to look at the tourney matchups.

Have sent out some PMs so we should hopefully have some Group L matches underway shortly. The spreadsheet is looking awfully sparse in our group at the minute!

I've gotten a lot more hours in with the game and after the initial hurdle I'm liking it. I still have issues sometimes not getting EXACTLY what I wanted to play out, but more games and practice will help smooth out the rough stuff.

How would I go about issuing the command to aim and stand up from behind cover for a few seconds, then duck back down before the turn ends? I'm not sure the exact order or if I have to add an extra way point after the wait period for it to go through.

Also, what does check do, and how should I properly utilize it?

Click to expand...

Yeah, you need to make an extra waypoint a tiny step away to make a duck command again.

And check is basically for looking into one direction, Meaning if you are walking a path, using the check command lets you peek into a certain direction to check whether there is an enemy.

I never use it though as it takes longer than manually making an extra step to walk in that direction and continue afterwards on the same path.
