Adam Nosko, did I correctly understand you to say that the scenario for the 2012 SON MP Division was unbalanced? That it specifically favored the Coalition?

Sir,
Definitely not, the two scenarios, and particularly that one from the first round are very well established in terms of the tournament. The first round, in my opinion, was one of the best tournament scenarios, both opponents have equal opportunities so that the tactics used mainly by, happiness and of course this depends on what your opponent will do let one of the player to win. The second scenario is just aternative, smaller version of the Battle of Katzbach. Both sides in this case have similar strength, if you keep the proportion of the original, it can minimum numerical superiority on the side of the Allies. In general, you can assume, therefore, that the quality of the Coalition units is higher, it is not among the infantry less than C, while approximately 30% of the French infantry jast Category D - III C. Cavalry is comparable to each other, the numerical superiority of the coalition, as I estimate, 25% number of units in category D - Cossacks and Landwehr. This gives a minimal advantage, in my opinion, the Allies, but it does not cause bigger effect on the course of the battle. To win in this scenario is mainly addicted to the tactics used by fighting teams. To discuss about my idea for this battle, on this better for me, is more elitist Tavern of our club, with all due respect to that.
BTW, I think it could be good idea to add all tournament's scenarios, of course already used, to DOR system with possibility to download it and play.

Whew! That's a relief! we put a lot of work into trying to balance the scenarios, particularly the MP Division one as it was far larger and was to be used as a competition between the two sides of our club.

Anton had previously mentioned to me the idea of making all of the SON Tournament scenarios available to the club. I think that is a wonderful idea. I plan to do that once the tournament is concluded. I have already added the scenarios to the DoR System, but I will still have to copy the necessary files to a server and set up a webpage so that the membership can download them.

I have to say that Muddy and I are quite enjoying our MP Division match. It seems to be playing very well from what I have seen thus far.

Thanks to all involved in the tournament!!!

and thanks for Adam's input.

Battle On...
