    The way to think of this is a juggler who keeps throwing another thing up into the air to juggle at once.  The more diverse the objects are in terms of size, grip, weight, etc. the more difficult it is to juggle.  Dropping a ball here or there might not matter, but if a chainsaw is thrown poorly and it comes down on the juggler's head, the show is over.

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

    Hi all, its been a while... in fact so long that I had to create a new account for the Forums... Anywho I started revamping some of my old work so it will play better in Game Engine 4.x and also I am back to creating some new scenarios (some fictional, some semi-historical)... Also redid my Combat Mission Site (haven't touched it in 7 years)... Since I lost touch with all the people that use to playtest for me I ask if you have feedback; Good, Bad, and/or Ugly that you submit that via the Feedback button in the site's menu... I have done extensive testing on the vs. AI battles but, the Head to Heads I have not been able to test... Well I am active again, who knows for how long but I do have a lot of time on my hands and a lot of scenarios/campaigns on the production schedule...  You can check every thing out at Fredrockers Combat Mission Site ... Enjoy

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

    Area targeting a problem for all tournaments and regular multiplayer games.

    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.

    Hello, I recently opened a support ticket to restore an old account. I read here they sometimes recommend posting in the forums about this issue as well, so this is what I know: I have tried a couple times to follow the instructions to reset my password as instructed on the main news page with no luck, it says ‘Can not find specified username and email address in database’. I think the problem is that the log in is so old that at the time your username was also your email address unless you changed it, as indicated in the 2018 news post asking everyone to reset passwords. I have not found any evidence in my records that I manually changed my username to something other than my email address, which is still correct and active.

    I just wanted to see if it was worth posting here in case Elvis or someone could help behind the scenes - I am trying to resolve this quickly so I can take advantage of the Battlefront sales before they end. If anyone wants my ticket number or relevant details please let me know here that you DMd me.

    Thank You for you help!

    There is another CMBN and CMSF2 tourney starting shortly on The Few Good Men by SlySniper:

    https://www.thefewgoodmen.com/thefgmforum/threads/official-sign-up-thread-for-field-warriors-tournament-cmbn.36753/

    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! 👍

    FYI, for those of us dunces who couldn't find the observer on the Soviet side, it's the 'jeep'. I almost ran the jeep straight into enemy lines on a scouting trip when I noticed he was the observer. 😬

    Took me awhile to find the FO too. I thought, I could be a nice guy and point this out in the forums. Or be a overly competitive snarky bastard and not say anything. I made my choice! 😂 Hey Im in the lead after all, what do you expect, the gloves are off! 🍺

    Well, my first two opponents never sent back so much as a single turn (and I checked pretty diligently every morning for the first month and a half). I suppose I should probably check if my third opponent is any better, but at this point I really can't be bothered. This total dependence on the reliability of another human is why I've never really gotten into multiplayer for any game (humans are notoriously unreliable). I'd really rather just have a more challenging and human-like AI than have to deal with multiplayer.

    It happens, just the nature of the beast. Both of my opponents only played one battle and just quit mid game in the other battle. I was winning too, so could have alot more pts but thats just the way it goes sometimes. Dont give up on MP, its by far the best way to play CM. 👍

    I think we just about made it. Did not know there were overtime in the scenario. Oh and the reason I only send the single file that times was because I lost connection to the server after doing one side and had to go to bed. 

    GG. Was a bit of a roller-coaster for me. When I lost 5 t-34s early, it was looking pretty bad. I think I got a bit lucky to pull it back. 

    Also I think there is something wrong with the scoring since the German side seems to get all the points from exiting tanks, even if they where not.

    Yep we finished just in time with this one! GG well played! Nice smokescreens with your Tigers too haha! 😁

    Yeah I think exiting any tanks with the Axis only serves to take pts away from the Soviets. No actual pts are awarded to the Axis for this.

    Also I managed to keep alive 6 Soviet tanks while you had 4 survive. Though made no difference in the scoring. But you exiting that Tiger was the difference maker.

    Yeah, really sorry for the late start. Unlucky that our times zones ended up so different, normally I would have no problem banging out a few turns a day. I was planning to contact you about finding a time I could stay up late and get some turn done. But now that some more days have been added that seems to solve it.

    I agree some more days would be nice. Since sometimes you realistically can only do one turn a day due to time zones, and it is probable that you are going to miss a few days.

    ps. Give that SMG gunner a medal. An entire mag of MG fire, my god what is that guy made of.

    Hey welcome to the forums! It appears we'll both be getting about the same amount of points this round. Our Axis are losing both battles. My Panther ambush didn't turn out very well vs your IS2s and then your remaining 3 just steam rolled my Tigers.

    I see you got only 2 Tigers left yourself, one immobilized and one kicking up a helluva smokescreen. Unless the mobile one can pull off some kind of a miracle this battle will be over soon too. I'll be cease firing my Axis side soon.

    Not sure why they extended the time limit to Dec 4,  I have not seen anybody asking for it.

     

    Last turn sent in my games by my opponent was Nov 8 and I don't think waiting another 10 days is going to make any difference as these two battle are going to end up unresolved.

     

    Currently

    30 with what looks like finished scores

    32 No scores at all (by now there should at least be a number there) Already dead battles

    25 with small scores (but I don't see many of these numbers changing daily)

     

    I would not hold up everybody for 10 days to maybe one more game finished.  Everybody knew the finish date and time limit.

    Lets get on with the next round and be done before Christmas

    There was a 10 day extension. I got 3 battles that should be able to finish because of this. I see others still plugging away trying to finish as well. 30 days for 30 turns is pretty tight time-wise. Point being, it shouldnt have been that to begin with. If you finish early consider yourself lucky. I'd rather finish early and wait then not having finished at all. 👍
