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!

Yep like 90% of PUPs are fine. Mostly means the AV software never heard of the .exe and wanted to flag it for users just in case you dont recognize it and its harmful.

Man this battle is very bloody and brutal. Right from turn one with both sides turning the church into lead city! Appears I’ll be winning both battles. Pretty tough for the Germans in this one. +1 to some sort of a reputation system for invitational tourneys!

Yeah that’s normal. I think it auto deletes from the server after like 30-60 days or something. If memory serves this is how it is for all the CM games. What’s interesting is this is not happening with CMBN.

Yeah that hurts! Have some comfort in knowing its happened to all of us once in awhile.

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!

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.

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.

Crap why the hell is there overtime! Just sent my cease fire over to @YppY! Fingers crossed he gets it back in time.

@YppY What happen to the other file? Your Axis game, I only got the one file this time?

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.

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.

Yeah no harm in asking, thanks. Just looking for the law of averages. If you’’ve already finished or only 5 turns in then you’re both at opposite ends of the spectrum. Naturally we can’t cater to slow players. But also can’t consider fast (or lucky both in same time zone and similar schedules) players to be the norm. I’ve literally played hundreds of tournaments and campaigns in CM1 and 2 dating back over 20 yrs and don’t recall ever seeing such short deadlines.

@BFCElvis any chance we can get extensions to these rounds of only 30 days? If not this rd then maybe next one? Its just not enough time. I see we're down to 10 days left now and may not finish my battles. Despite decent turn rates from my opponent. Fingers crossed he knows how to cease fire and the deadline to do so. Slitherine is hurting their own tournaments with these short rds. I'm thinking the limit should be +10 to the battle time. So a 20 min battle gets 30 days or a 30 min battle gets 40 days.

Yeah these our regular Tigers not Kings. That was a little disappointing.

Hehe I attacked as the Germans… turning out pretty good… so far.

About 10 hrs ago the servers did seem extra slow but the turns finally did get sent.

Its Panthers vs T34/76s... thats to be expected. Nobody should be attacking with them!

Yeah this sort of “omg they’re not doing anything and they don’t care” nonsense always gets kicked around when there’s been few releases. Nothing new. Just because Steve talks about the Ukraine war doesn’t mean jack squat. You’re equating two things that are completely unrelated. It’s not logical. Does he need your permission to talk to his relatives on the phone too? How about running to the grocery store for food?

Everybody gets one starting file. Whoever plays their file first now has the other player with both files. Also never play any files in other save game areas, only the In-Progress section. The tourney system does not support save and finish later.

Yeah guys theres scoring bugs in the surrender games. Its getting looked into. Not sure if it can be manually corrected or not. I lost a bunch of pts too. Bear in mind the CM tourney system is still a work in progress. Elvis will be around with details soon.

Im not sure how the timed out feature works. But there have been some scoring issues, I think some players lost pts. I know I lost alot. Also keep in mind guys, these tourneys are still a work in progress. Its not perfect and will never be, but they are trying to make the best of it.

Interesting, so then the objective needs to be deleted and not only the exit zone. Though probably won’t be a factor in this since there is no exit pts given for this. And unlikely an Axis player will move troops to the very back of the map. But they could panic and do this, they were about to be killed anyway.
