My guess is the game isn't sending the "last turn" msg to the server.

Unless something has recently changed, everything CMBN installs goes into the main install directory. Nothing should be in the documents folder. CMBN is the only CM2 game that does this. All the others put the games files/user data into the documents folder. So your mods z folder should be on the C drive ...CMBN/data/z. Something about Microsoft changed something but CMBN had already shipped. I'd backup your mods folder, grab the latest installer and do a clean install.

That does ring a bell as I think this happen to me before in the CMBN tourney when my opponent surrendered there. That is interesting! Are you sure that pic was snapped after the tourney? Because it appears it wasnt as it says above the score " Currently playing" and not the "Ended on" date. Which is what I've seen before. It records the scores correctly but then makes the wrong timed out adjustment afterwards. I've never seen a second change in scores post tourney. In a nutshell, it appears it treats the person accepting the surrender as quitting or timing out as they cant return another file. In other words, the system cant tell the difference between a surrender and somebody quitting. Hence the timed out penalty. Also, because I think surrenders do sometimes get calculated correctly. Something that might play a factor is who starts the battle and who surrenders. As in, if I start the battle then I can accept the surrender correctly. Where as if my opponent is the battle starter and surrenders then the system miscalculates it.

@BFCElvis Somethings wrong with the scoring, I Iost pts for some reason. My score went from 2150 down to 1881. Apparently that timed out symbol is the culprit. Not sure why as we finished this game weeks ago with my opponent surrender. I think the other battle is fine.

Oh that’s right, forgot about this, I never got one either.

Sure hope his dislike for the area fire order isn't playing a factor in playing. Interesting how he was very active in that discussion while not playing your game. Hate to see unfinished games in the first invitational tourney for CM. In my nearly 25 yrs of playing CM1 and 2 in lots of tourneys/campaigns/ladders, I've never come across a player wanting a house rule for restricted area fire use. Hope you guys can finish up, think you got until the 14th.

I did manage to KO a T62 frontally and gotta 2nd one from the side. I dont think I lost a single one in my attack. Though did have some with broken guns, I think 3.

Hey there you are! Yeah I quickly changed my defense plan after running some T72 vs T62 tests. CMSF2 is least played for me, so needed to do this. I initially had them all back with the BMPs for a full frontal challenge. But thankfully you were a bit slow coming out of the gate which bought me time to reposition most my AFVs into ambush/keyhole spots. I think it worked out better than my initial plan. Thanks for the quick turn rate and good game!

That was just my seat warmer!

Nice article, thanks for posting!

Agreed on the T72s, they probably let everybody down! Its sure tough KOing those T62s, that ERA is a game changer. I did some last min testing and found this out after my setup. But was able to readjust my defense after the start. Also a side note, those ATGMs from the T62s pretty much suck. From both my games it appeared to do nothing after several hits, except one broke a gun. The HEAT shells killed every time they hit.

Claymore drones are here, or at least something similar. This might of been already posted. But near impossible for me to keep up with this thread. NSFW https://funker530.com/video/nsfw-directional-drone-blast-flattens-2-russian-troops/

I got @Dawntaker in the first round. Did my first quick pw turn today.

READY TO ROCK & ROLL!

ON THE READY LINE!

Best analogy ever! And I think there’s something wrong with me because I LOL for like 5 straight mins imagining this!

Hey welcome back buddy, good to see you back in action!

In other words... CM Space Lobsters is coming in 2024 everybody! We've all waited over 20 years for it and its finally coming. You can all rest easy now.

No its not, its part of the game. Opposing forces quite often fire on one another without seeing each other. Often referred to as suppressive or harassing fire. Although it does give the player an advantage vs the AI since the AI doesnt do this. But if you dont like area targeting thats fine too, find an opponent that will play by this odd rule. Just dont expect something like this in any tourney.

Gonna sign up for this one too, good times! (btw, @BFCElvis at the top of your post it says Red Thunder)

7 zip is my go-to for extraction. Many ways to skin a cat and all that!

Now that was fast!

I did pick the CMBN tourney in his double combo tourney. I just dont have the time to play both. Wish I did as these are excellent fun and a good test of ones tactical skills. These are truly blind, no way for players to peek or pre-play the battles before hand. Also just wanted to say thanks for the battles from my opponents. I snagged 2nd place in this one but the battles were very hard fought. Enjoyed these very much, cya in the next one!

Well I grabbed 1st place in this one and just wanted to say thanks for the fun battles to all my opponents. Well fought to the bitter end, good times! That last battle was excellent! I took the field with the Soviets but took heavy losses. I did manage to hold the line as the Axis but still took heavy losses. Fun stuff, love it!
