"Battle for Europe" Competition (PS3 SIM Players) "Year: 1946"

[edal86]

* Sorry, I just went over the results. Since I saw, about 10 new messages with attachments I did not remember that that really meant 5 matches only (2 screenshots per game). Worst, 2 screenshots were repeats, so there was really a total of 4 matches played.

* I am posting now to announce that "Battle for Europe" is cancelled.
* If you guys wish to save this tournament please feel free to copy the rules and the participants that have played, and start a new thread. (I will be eliminating all photobucket images so please hurry.)

sorry,
I know you were a loyal supporter my friend. You guys can pick new teams and start again, hopefully, you are more lucky then me. If I wait, I will only be waiting for a USSR victory due to a forfeit.

This week results:
Air Superiority: USSR won (13 deaths) UK (24 deaths) 3 matches played
Strategic Bombing: 1 match only (12 targets destroyed)
Territory Capture: zero matches???
Why continue? I am not mad about this, I just feel that this is pointless now.

* Decision is Final, I am sorry. To wait 1 day, or to wait 1 week, this wont make a difference. The solution is to start from scratch with new teams but I leave that decision to you guys now.

You clearly dont understand what it takes to organize this and manage it. From a participant's perspective it is simple because all you need to do is play (this is why I was a little disappointed). However, it is difficult when you depend on others to be able to do what you have to. I have no more time for promises (undestand that I have dealt with them since the First Tournament that I created "Ace of Aces").

* Since the very beginning I asked for commitment. I knew this tournament would mean work for me, but I was willing to do this anyway, all I asked for was participation. No participation from you guys = no commitment from me. Why bother doing all this work for 4 matches? You all knew what to do. The first week had better results because I was constantly posting and contacting players to participate. I cant do this anymore, sorry.

* I recommend that you continue this tournament with new teams, and maybe you will see what I mean. I hope that you get better results if you do this by the way.

Edal,

I am very sorry it had to come to this, and I share your disappointment. You have put a huge effort into this tournament, and the idea behind it is still brilliant. Once again a big thanks to you.

It's very generous of you to even hand out prices, of course I'd love to have a P-47 but cannot access the store in Malta.

On a more happy note, I have spoken to the publishers about the sponsoring of a future tournament, and they said yes. They obviously have realized the momentum your tournaments have created for their product.

There is a future for tournaments here on IL-2 Birds of Prey, and I hope we can work together to create another one some time.

Best,

MACADEMIC
