Piers Morgan interviews US_Brake 6-25-11 CNN  
------------------------------------------------------------

Piers: It is a pleasure to meet you US_Brake.

US_Brake: The pleasure is mine Piers, thank you.

Piers: We understand you have created a League for the game Close Combat: Cross of Iron?

US_Brake: Yes I have. Cross of Iron is a redux of the classic wargame Close Combat III the Russian Front.

Piers: What inspired you to make this League?

US_Brake: The Close Combat community has become soft. Players have played CCV and other lesser games against the AI so long they completely lost all skill. I felt that it was important to challenge the players with some hardcore human vs human simulation of the slaughter on the eastern front in WW2.

Piers: So skill is an important factor in this League?

US_Brake: Yes it is, vey important.

Piers: According to your League site it reports that you lost a game to SLAKKATTAK last night?

US_Brake: Yes I did, but I would rather not discuss that.

Piers: Critics have suggested a conflict of interest since you are both #1 in the League and the Admin. How does that make you feel?

US_Brake: That makes me sad Piers, real sad. People who say that, just want to create a distraction away from what this League is really all about. A group of international gamers who are learning how to kill with technology and tactics of WW2. I can tell you this,  the ladder system is automated and my Admin powers are used responsibly.  I can't say with certainty that a member might get screwed over at some point playing on this leaderboard but I know that I won't.

Piers: Interesting... Have you any previous experience with Close Combat Leagues?

US_Brake: Yes, I competed on both the Tournament House Ladder and on Cases Ladder. I reached #1 on Cases Ladder on two occassions defeating HG_Tread and then KPB_Luk13.

Piers: These wargame Ladders have a reputation for pet mapping, vulgar trash language and forum trolling do they not?

US_Brake: No! Nothing could be further from the truth Piers. In fact our motto is "Honor in Victory or Defeat."

Piers: What does that mean exactly?

US_Brake: It means League member keep their cool regardless of winning or losing a game. And they report losses after games.

Piers: How does it feel to be defeated in a game of Close Combat?

US_Brake: Pure Hell, a horrible feeling.

Piers: Parents have raised concerns about their children playing this game and what it might do to them. What is your take on that?

US_Brake: We are not concerned about children. Some may join and play a game or two but, since they are children they quickly return to AI only games. You have to be an adult with a thick skin to handle League play.

Piers: Many issues have been raised about this game being buggy and a dated game from the early 90's.

US_Brake: Bugs don't concern our community, we crush bugs with our boots. And when has anyone made a better wargame?

Piers: How interesting... It has been a pleasure US_Brake and I wish you great success in this new ladder. Before you go, can you tell our viewers how they can join this League.

US_Brake: certainly, gamers who want to join sign up. They can find additional information at closecombatseries.net or at gameranger.com.

Piers: Fantastic!  US_Brake, thank you !

US_Brake: Thank you Mr Morgan have a good evening.

found this site to thier liking. I hope you had time to check out some of the great Close Combat
