| 03/07/2008 - New Raider New season, new Raider: Dasulza joined our ranks. |
| 03/07/2008 - 15th Season Finished The championships of the 15th season end with a double victory of Shukov. Newcomer Hoza closely missed the top spot because of the 30-matches-rule. Congratulations to the following generals: Absolute championship:
We wish a successful 16th season! |
| 26/06/2008 - Jubilee Meanwhile the 2,000th game in the Raiders' history has been played! The participants in this glorious battle, Grisha and Hoza, are awarded two bonus points each in the long term ladders. |
| 16/06/2008 - New Raider, Championship Former recruit Schnabel turned out to be a real whiz kid, defeating his drill sarge by 8:0 at El Alamein! The championships are getting exciting: Hoza and Shukov are a good bet for the absolute championship while Shukov and Clu are the most likely candidates for the relative one. |
| 30/05/2008 - New Raider Eivissa, another general from Germany, is in the ladders now (thanks to our new drill sarge Hoza). Members from other countries would be appreciated! |
| 12/05/2008 - Scenario Updates Thanks to Tomcat aka Shadow there is an RSF*2.7 version of 'Race to the Rhine' with massively changed victory conditions. As a conclusion from the tournament results and AARs, 'Giants at the Vistula' has been updated to v2.8. For details and rules (Race ...) see the respective readme files. |
| 04/05/2008 - New Raider Please give a warm welcome to Corporal Steiner (.uk), a well-known Battle Group veteran! |
| 03/05/2008 - Maps The maps page has been redesigned, and some more maps by Clu have been added. |
| 17/04/2008 - New Raider Our latest member is Oberst Schmidt. |
| 16/04/2008 - Boot Camp The boot camp page is now database-driven as well and will hopefully swell up again. |
| 15/04/2008 - TBG 21 : 31 Raiders, Final Result! The last two duels were not quite finished within the timeframe. So the results were estimated and agreed on by all participants. Infernalex won by 6:1 (+ 3 season bonus points) and made the Raiders' overall victory perfect! :) |
| 13/04/2008 - TBG 18 : 23 Raiders, New Raider Joerg0866 won by 6:1 as well (getting 3 bonus points); so we are in the lead for the first time. :)) Thanks to a fast boot camp game with Panzerlurch Heldenschreck is already in the ladders. |
| 06/04/2008 - TBG 17 : 17 Raiders Deuce. So the remaining three duels will be decisive. |
| 02/04/2008 - TBG 16 : 11 Raiders Due to NinthBit's draw vs. Luigi the Raiders' team total is now two-digit. What a nice success! :o) |
| 25/03/2008 - TBG 14 : 09 Raiders Thanks to our new Guderian aka Scipio the tournament team total looks a bit friendlier now. :) Scipio deserves and receives a 4 points bonus in the current ladders. |
| 14/03/2008 - TBG 14 : 01 Raiders The first two tournament duels are finished. Regarding our results there is room for improvement. :o) |
| 06/03/2008 - New Raider After a very fast bootcamp game we welcome Hoza as a new member. |
| 01/03/2008 - New Raider New month, new Raider: from now on Spanky64 is ready for action. |
| 28/02/2008 - New Old Raider After three years, El Condoro from Down Under is back! :) |
| 26/02/2008 - Tournament, Bonus Points In the tournament, Etzel stepped in for Gerd. Lower-ranked players dropped down one slot each. The players of the month / the season will get a 5 points / 10 points bonus retroactively from the start of this season. For details see the rules pages. |
| 25/02/2008 - Tournament TBG - Raiders Our new interclub-tournament will start on March 1. The tourney page is online and can be accessed by the usual menu links. |
| 16/02/2008 - New Scenario Seelow Heights II by Clu is the historically correct - and very different - version of the infamous battle with a lot of RSF*2.70 features. |
| 14/02/2008 - Scenario Update Another way to find out what is possible with the RSF*2.70: play Giants at the Vistula v2.7! |
| 11/02/2008 - Scenario Update Guderian himself leads the German assault on the Ukraine in Konotop v2.7! |
| 10/02/2008 - New Raider Boehna is our first new member this year. |
| 09/02/2008 - Scenario Update Being a highlight anyway, Ardennes - Battle of the Bulge II provides more fun than ever with version 2.7. BTW: of course you can deploy any RSF*2.7 unit in A.L.D.I. as well! |
| 05/02/2008 - New Scenario A Bridge Too Far is a new, historical Arnhem scenario making full use of the RSF*2.70 features. |
| 31/01/2008 - Scenario Update The first winter scenario upgraded to RSF*2.7 is Operation Typhoon v2.7, the assault on Moscow. |
| 28/01/2008 - Scenario Update In Kursk v2.7, on the occasion of an RSF*2.7 optimization also the balance was tweaked in favor of the Germans. |
| 25/01/2008 - Scenario Update The Mareth Line, a real Raiders classic, is now based on the RSF 2.7 as well. |
| 06/01/2008 - Scenario Update The next scenario upgraded to the RSF 2.7 level is the Panzerlehr-Division v2.7. |
| 04/01/2008 - 14th Season Finalization, Mega General The winners of the 14th season have been labeled a little more significantly on the respective ladder pages. The Hall of Fame is updated as well. Our latest Mega General is Winter. Unfortunately we forgot to give him the bonus for the previous season. So he gets 10 extra points this season. |
| 01/01/2008 - 14th Season Finished The championships of the 14th season end with victories of Scipio and Shukov who successfully defended his title. Congratulations to the following generals: Absolute championship:
We wish you a happy new year and fun in the 15th season! |
| 03/12/2007 - Yet Another Mega General Finishing his 100th game Leo Leone became the third Mega General in November. 10 points bonus in the current season's table go to him, too! |
| 26/11/2007 - Scenario Update There are lots of very fine scenarios which have become a little shop-soiled over the years due to the further development of the RSF. They may be interesting again after a little equipment 'modernization'. Let's start with Rostov 42 v2.7 which - as the version no. says - includes some RSF*2.7 units now. Others will follow. There is one other crucial point with older scenarios, BTW: depleted units could be replenished to the max maintaining their full experience (PG 1 was better to that extent). Since this is extremely unrealistic, the basic strength will be reduced in updated scenarios. |
| 19/11/2007 - Another Mega General Our latest Mega General is Vito, having scored 302 points. Funny about it: with his next game he would have been appointed Mega General due to 100 games played! |
| 11/11/2007 - New Raider With Mueller we welcome our third new member this month. |
| 10/11/2007 - New Mega General, New Raider With his victory at Gibraltar Wuestenfuchs now has 300 points, i.e. he is appointed 'Mega General'. In the same game NinthBit won his first point and is a regular member now. |
| 01/11/2007 - New Raider Micky65 has earned his first point after a hard battle at Monte Cassino and is a regular member now. |
| 20/10/2007 - New Scenario In Tito's Territory is the first RSF 2.7 scenario featuring Serb partisans and German armored trains. Thanks to Clu for his help. |
| 15/10/2007 - New Old Raider After a two years break Rai-Khan, one of our earliest members at all, is back again. :) |
| 29/09/2007 - The RSF 2.70 + UK-Patch 2.20 The key to success in PG2 has always been the perfect interaction of units. The RSF 2.70 includes lots of [c]ombat support units, even fighter aces [C]. These [C] units require an even more profound interaction of your units! The WW2 icon redesign is complete now. How could we bear those crappy old SSI icons for 10 years? More ... Furthermore, from now on the UK-patch 2.20 is our official PG2 executable! Within current games both players are asked to upgrade in the same turn! Go to download page ... |
| 24/09/2007 - New (il) Raider Joining our league, our new member il Raider intuitively chose an appropriate nickname. :) |
| 22/09/2007 - New Raider We are pleased to meet our first member from Uruguay. Bienvenido otra vez, Visigodo88! |
| 10/09/2007 - Scenario Updates In order to get them more balanced, Operation Chariot v1.1 has been modified in favor of the British attackers, and Omaha Beach v1.1 is slightly tweaked in favor of the German defenders. |
| 24/08/2007 - New Scenario After the reorganization of the league we hope to have time for new / updated scenarios again. The first is Fortress Frankfurt by Clu (already known as an RSF co-developer). |
| 13/08/2007 - Ladder Pages The ladder pages now indicate the latest results and display the total number of games within the respective timespan - quite impressive for the long term ladders, not (yet) overwhelming for the current season. |
| 08/08/2007 - New Ladders, Jubilee, New Raider Thanks to your new head of the league, Sgt. Pepper, the ladders for the 14th season are eventually on-line! They are, as well as the long term ladders and the report form, data base-driven, i.e. you will see your results immediately after being reported (hit 'refresh' if not). So please do report your results of this season (so far) now! BTW: don't ask for the 13th season! Armchair generals are superstitious. ;) At the same time, the number of visits is approaching a quarter of a million! So the 250,000th visitor will get a 3 points bonus for the current season (if he is a member). Please send a screenshot if you're the lucky one! We are delighted to welcome our new 'member of the month', Augusto from bella Italia! :) Something else is new, too? Well, the title bar tanks have been RSFified. |
