MT1 First shots

Yes, a planet is the entire template dropped on the map. Once on one of the hexes you can move and battle. And there is no cover between planet hexes.

Not to take these things too seriously, but I don't think that simply counting VPs is necessarily the way to go to figure out tournament rankings given that some games finish because of the 8 kills rule, others because 21+ VPs are scored. If it were me I would use th exact same system as for the other C&C tournaments: 3 pts for 2 wins, 2 pts for 1 win but more VPs, 1 pt for 1 win but fewer VPs, 1.5 for 1 win with a VP tie.

I'll be away for 2 weeks outback, not able to monitor or respond to any messages.
I'll sort out the Finals when I get back, but ideally all the matches will be played by then.

Renaud, I tend to agree, but being the first Red Alert tournament, I thought we should try the VP scores to see how they went.
If someone wants to recast the scores based on the 3 pts for 2 wins, 2 pts for 1 win but more VPs, 1 pt for 1 win but fewer VPs, 1.5 for 1 win with a VP tie system, that would be interesting, but I suspect no different except possible more likely to end up with tie breaker results.

I do not believethat this is the discussion after the end of the tournament. As such all my strategy during gamıng was based on getting most poınts and I was not focused as much for the kıll or win. Hence ıf you look all my scores also for the ones I lost wer quite high. My strategy even from getting support poınts was based on the scorıng system.

Just as an example do you thing ıf in football they change 3 poınts for wın to 2 poınts after the fact people will have played with the same tactic. As an analogy our poınt system as declated was more lıke a 2 poınt for the wın so ıt was ımportant that you dont loose heavy.

I totally dısagree even to look for a different poınt system , after finishing the tournament.ç
But we can also try one lıke you suggest as a different one. I am sure my strategy will drastically change then.

Just if we calculate as you suggested :
as per my calcs
gonzo : 10 points
toganalper :9 points
MarkG: 8 points
rjv: 7 points
Mikro 4 + (last games could be 0-3) so max 7 poınts
gotiger 3+ (last games could be 0-3) so max 6

But as you very clearly suggested some peole finished the game with less points. At thet point they should have actualy not gone after thecheap units and hunted bigger ones even better focused morte on objective points. So I belive trying to finish a gae to win with less points was not the correct strategy and should have been avioded based on the scoring system.

Don’t worry. I was not suggesting to change after the fact, but just opening up a discussion for future tournaments. Good on you if you played to score 21 points in each game. I played to win either way because I didn’t pay too much attention to potential discrepancy created by winning with, or losing to, 8 kills. In fact in most of my games I also focused on helping others get the rules right

3 matches left to play, and this has dragged on..  time to get it done gentlemen.

My Fault sorry. I tried to get in contact with Justin a month ago but he was leaving town and dont know if he is back. I emailed him a week ago but still Nothing.

Mark, only my games with justin should be left. I played everything else! IF not a winner against me might have not reported the match!
