Apology to the Allied side.
« on: November 02, 2012, 11:12:06 PM »
Guys,

The screwup on the location of the Tirpitz TF was completely my fault. I meant for it to be in the 10.13 grid and that is where I showed it on the Allied Objective map. Somehow I placed it at 10.12 grid on the Axis objective map. I matched the maps and reviewed them before sending and somehow missed the mistake and there is no excuse for it. The setup team used the Axis map for the position of the Tirpitz during setup of the arena. The fault lies completely with me not them.  You players deserve a better product than that and all I can offer is an apology.

 :salute

A big <S> to the Allies, was hard fought. I realize that it didnt go exactly as planned on Friday, but wish to commend you all on your flexability.
Another big <S> to the Axis you put up some great fights.
Had the Tirpitz been in the sector that my orders said they were things may have turned out a little differently.
<S> to the CMs for their hard work in setting up and to all who participated.

Unlucky on the mistake Shifty, it's easily done. But I do believe she was unfortunately sunk by 2 dive bombing TBMs underneath my nose; proving that you didn't need to spoon feed the Allies.

off with his head! isn't that what we do to people that make mistakes around here?

its happens man, doesn't really matter, the allies are missing a carrier and a CA from my perspective hehehehe

if we were all the same, it wouldn't be any fun! good job anyway. it was fun and that's all that matters. one sector didn't change the tide of the game. and its just that......a game!

All in all frame 1 went pretty well. Mistakes happen. To kick a guy who has made a sincere apology for a design error is very sad to see. Sad and uncalled for.

I really hope that this was meant to be tongue in cheek or sarcastic humor...

<S> Shifty, things happen and mistakes are made, it was still a fun night with and that's what matters!

Well, Shifty.. That's how wars go. It's not like we all sat around last night staring at blank screens.

Wait...this made it more difficult to find? Like in real life? And then it was sunk anyway?

Sounds like fun had by all.

Yes a mistake was made and it's understandable, but don't say fun was had be all.
As a scout who flew grid 10.13 up and down and back and forth looking for the ships
and then getting jumped by 190's was not fun.
