Via Pm. as stated in the turn post above

[Rolepgeek]

Herm. I suppose I'll join. Not sure at fully understand the rules, though.

EDIT: Can we bring up other tank designs to use? Like, the Churchill or the M7 Priest, just for the Brits?

[Ghazkull]

Negative. As the game progresses more and more tanks will be unlocked including their different modifications and upgrades.

[Ghazkull]

FelixSparks you have until 19:00 GMT+1 to submit your orders or you will automatically surrender.

[techno65535]

So...Match 2 anyone?

[Maxinum McDreich]

Match 1 is ongoing by pm. Seems it's not quite the spectator sport

Put it this way, we're doing turn 2, so far no shots fired.

[Ghazkull]

Yeah, right now i realized that its going a bit weird with the whole thing. I cannot post the map and a Turn Update due to potential Cheaters (although nobody would consciously cheat, it propably ends more in a: "Uhh Must resist urge to click spoiler!" which usually doesnt work out...)

Once the Match has finished i will post a whole Update and Report of the Match and then we continue onwards to the next Match...Its not ideal but if anybody has a better idea i am open to any suggestion how to do this diferently.

[Ghazkull]

Okay after some further consideration i decided against my own instinct to post the turns in here while they are happening to keep the interest alive.

To both Maxinum and Felix i expect you to play fairly and not read the turns posted here up until after you finished your Match.

Maxinum McDreich and FelixSparks please read no further

Turn 1

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Hello and Welcome to the First International Tankery Tournament! I am your Commentator Hauptmann Friedrich Richter and...

I am your Co-Host Frank Hayes.

This is indeed an auspicious moment, especially since all Teams are new to Tankery it should be interesting to see the rise of this new sport. Our First Match Up is between Shiels High School and Atlas Academy.

The Atlas Academy sets on a completely mixed Company of Tanks, while Shiels is using a mix of Japanese and British Tanks.

Oh and there is the Signal. And both Teams rush forward!

Well almost. Gungir from team Atlas decides to hold it's position, while The Crew of the Cross climbs a mountain. T'is indeed a dangerous move. While you get a far better sight you can also be seen from afar.

And it seems Atlas seems to make not only one erratic move but two! Their Valentine MkVII seems to be stuck in the river it tried to fjord...indeed a bad start for the Atlas Troupe.

Well Frank it seems the Shiels Captain seems to know better what he is doing although moving around alone is a sure ticket to lose the game early. Meanwhile the rest of their teams seems to...hide behind the hills. Not Very brave but a clever move nonetheless.

[techno65535]

Yay, things are happening!

Hrmm...would it be possible to do all 4 matches at once?

[Ghazkull]

nah, sorry im getting confused with Pictures, Vassal Saves and Turn Updates as it is...i nearly sent Maxinum for the third time Felix's map...

[techno65535]

Ouch, yeah, that could be an issue. Ah well, was worth a shot.

[Culise]

I wonder if it might be better to put the commentary in the spoiler as well.  That way, the players could still read the thread and make IC posts for each turn (if they feel like RP), simply by not opening the spoiler. 

Though, the IC itself would likely contain spoilers as well, and making the entire thread nothing but spoilers impedes conversation...I'm not really sure.

Turn 2-4

Krupp Stahl Plating: Preventing Crew Loss since 1939

And now after this quite Macabre Ad we are back at Tankery. Frank how is the situation?

Well Friedrich after  moving into position on the mountain and still not discovering any enemies the Crews of the Henry and the Cross moved towards the Center of Our Field where Fire was opened upon them from Crab who had hidden in the Plantation and the Trio infernale behind the hills.

In the ensuing firefight, Team Shiels decided to brook the river while both Madcat and Crab opened Fire upon Henry not only shooting off the left track but also hitting the Crew Compartment.

Wait a moment Frank we just got a general frequency call in. Apparently the Commander of Henry has been hit and is dead. Well if Henry doesn't get help soon and Shiels Captain proves sufficiently ruthless Atlas might lose more Tank Crew today.

Indeed Friedrich. Meanwhile it seems that Gungir Managed to extricate Alexander from the River and both are on the move to support Cross and Henry. I doubt however that they manage it in time...

[Ghazkull]

Turn 5: What a Mess

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Well turns out Shiels is the helping kind. Bringing in both Raven and Firefly they want to- nope Firefly is using the Henry as a shield meanwhile firing on the Retreating Crew of Cross and there is it! A Hit! And the Tracks are gone. That is bad that is really bad for Cross. All alone out there surrounded by the enemy.

Indeed Friedrich. It seems Madcat has managed to get into firing position depsite track problems.

Well the Cromwell is well known for losing it's tracks at top speeds. In this case the Madcat won't be leaving its sniping spot anytime soon Frank. It willt ake the crew at least a few minutes to fix that.

And MAdcat fires upon Cross and HITS! It seems the tank is on fire. Let's switch to internal Cameras.

Pictures of the Crew desperately trying to extinguish the raging engine fire and miraculously suceeding. Suddenly the Picture fails and is replaced with Static.

Hooley Moley. That was one sucker punch. Lets watch that again in Slow Motion. There is the shot from Crab, piercing the armour and lets switch into inside cameras again

Slowly the tank grenade enters through the front armory and hits a Crewmember's fire extinguisher. then the explosion and static. the next Screen shows the Tankf rom outside as it's plating bends to the outside

Indeed Frank that was a beautiful hit. Nasty but beautiful

Oh yeah. And here comes the Gungir around the Corner...oh boy those guys will be angry with the Shiels Guys.

Yep and they immediately start shooting. The StuG's heavy cannon makes piecemeal out of the japanese Type 95's. ANd there goes the Raven.

Eww. Indeed. They don't need to send a coffin there. They'll propably need a wet-dry vacuum cleaner for those guys. And another hit! AND another! Boy the GUngirs crew is fast and still accurate.

Yep that crew is indeed a few notches above the average. With one sweep they took out the raven for good and the Firefly is out of the game too. It's tracks and engines are gone and the Crew abandoned the Tank to help the Henry. I think they might rethink their samaritian impulses upon seeing their own tank blown to bits.

[techno65535]

Yay, it's still going! Was begining to wonder
