Yeah I saw this in my battle attacking as Allies. One or maybe two Germans exited off the map even though there is no exit areas for the Axis side. Never seen this before.

In this battle I dont think it matters since the Germans get no friendly or enemy cas pts at all. Doesnt seem fair to Axis, I took 52 infantry losses and one SU76. But Axis get zero pts. for this. Whether its played out, cease fired or surrendered wouldn't change this. But yes generally speaking I too like to stick it out to the bitter end. It can be fun being a thorn in your opponents side. However in this battle he was down to his FO team that was literally staring at the entire Soviet force. This battle was cooked!

Thanks for the game and very fast turn rate!

I take it you tried to surrender that last turn? I got an error after the replay. Tried reloading the game a 2nd time and got same error after replay. But was able to play and process the turn without a problem. I vaguely recall this happening a few tourneys back, its like a false error since we were able to finish the game normally. Maybe the surrender will go through next turn. But if need be I'll cease fire next turn.

Yeah my CMBN opponent surrendered his axis defenders and the scores are fine, no issues.

Mine did no problem. Bear in mind it can take several mins to do so. Also depending on the type of mines (mixed, AT, or AP) it can take longer.

I guess the only question that remains... can your Ruskies pull together for one last push? My Germans guns have cooled off and are ready.

This is a known glitch. When a game ends, the scores are identical for like one turn and then return to normal.

In a mirror tourney any pros or cons from force balance or terrain is somewhat irrelevant. Since both players play both sides. So it’s more about tactical skill. What do you mean by “shop the system”? If a player deliberately quits a game or just stops playing. Then he’s losing pts for both himself and his opponent.

I too certainly did not like the axis defender setup zone. It was a pretty confusing puzzle. Three diff zones with some platoons split between them. These should be more open to let defenders make or break their defense. Nobody likes trying to do their setups with one hand tied behind their back.

I think it gives 1 pt to the winner of a single turn. Which is determined by who got most kills for that turn. It’s kinda meaningless since the scores get reverted in the end to the in-game score. Win or lose you get far more points for finishing the battles.

Quoting myself from the CMRT tourney:

Quick reminder to my fellow CMRT players, you can’t save a game and return to it later. So for the German defender with lots of fortifications and freedom to make their own defense setup. This can take awhile. So if you need a break, dinners ready, baby’s crying, etc, either leave the game running or alt-tab to minimize the game. Also completely ignore any tourney files that show up in your saved games & PBEM list. These will not get sent to your opponent. Only play the ones under PBEM ++ in Progress list.

Ok then this should probably be part of the tourney info/instructions. Just a reminder that save and finish later isn’t supported. And to ignore any tourney files that show up in the saved games & PBEM list. I know trying to keep it short and sweet to avoid TLDR!

Something I've discovered that can cause confusion. If you load a game up and just quit (no saving or clicking Go). The game will auto-create a save game anyway in your "Saved Games & PBEM" list. Thus giving the player the impression these are the files to play. Which they are not. Double check that you are loading the files from the Automated PBEM++ In Progress list. These will go through. If you play the files from the other saved games list then they go no where. I just made this mistake myself with my Soviet setup in the CMRT tourney. Checked this with CMBN and it behaves the same way. Also and Im a bit fuzzy on this, @BFCElvis help me out here, this also means these tourneys do not support save a turn and finish later. So save games generated either from quitting (auto saves described above) or player created saves wont get sent. I vaguely remember hearing this in the past. I just so rarely see this as once I load a battle I play it without quitting or saving it.

LETS ROCK!

For those getting logged out right after doing a turn and then gotta re-login for another turn. Do you have AV running or using a VPN? I do recall seeing this once or twice but it sorta just went away eventually. Also making a firewall rule allowing the game through might possibly help this. But thats a long shot!

Yeah turn rate should be about the same from me too!

Gotta be on 1.07 to get the PBEM++ system. And or grab your Steam key and have 2 different installs of the game.

IIRC there has never been a linear option for calling in air support of any kind in all games.

Yeah I was thinking the same, @ratdeath idea could work. Maybe like a 1-3 turn rollcall pre-battle with like a 4-5 day deadline to complete. Those that dont do anything get the boot. It would at least cut down on the no shows.

Thanks guys, some good hard fought battles. Shout out to all my opponents. I got lucky by having active players for all 3 rounds.

How did you receive news from him? We're currently a turn into overtime with my Syrian side game. Also wiped out his Syrian forces with 10 mins to spare but he's not cease firing anything. Only 2 mins left in that one. I guess he doesnt know how to cease fire. Really love these tourneys but they definitely show a need for an in-game chat system.
