I am in +GMT3 Istanbul, Turkey

I am in GMT-5. Merry Christmas!

As already indicated by email, I'm in.

I'm in. GMT -5

with 6 players we could do either a 3 round Mini-Tournament, which I think would be rather limited, or a Round Robin style where each player players every other player twice (10 matches)

Does anyone haave concerns about a longer Round Robin tournament?

I'mf fine with it.

Renaud (23 pts) vs Mark (9 pts) - Scenario #3 - first leg

It had been a while since I played a RA game, but it all went well for me. I drew TF #12 and added 1 cruiser, 2 destroyers, 1 heavy fighter and 1 fighter to my task force. Mark and I played the same card to start, but he won the roll-off. Nevertheless, I was able to get a foothold on the planet first and that pretty much sealed the deal from my perspective. Mark's rolling being subpar, especially compared to mine, didn't hurt... Only mid-game I was constrained with no cards on the left flank and so forced some action on the right. Eventually, though, the game was won on the left, with 11 points from the planet (to zero for Mark), with the destruction of an enemy heavy destroyer unit on the planet bringing me over the 21 required (11 planet points and 12 unit points).

#3: The Supply Base (BD-16-0821) Return match
Renaud (Commonwealth) - 16 pts
Mark (Confederation) 18 pts (actually 8 units)

This scenario I tried the fighter swarm, thinking they would be good for planetary control. The planet was hard fought, with no control points gained, mainly because Renaud parked a Heavy Battleship on planet that could not be moved.

In the end I killed 5 destroyers and 3 fighters, and lost 1 heavy battleship (and forgot debris again!), 2 destroyers and 3 fighters.

Still trying to work out what works in Red Alert. I think the planetary control objective has distorted my views.
