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:
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.

WTF!
Crashed to the desktop! 2 hours of preparations are gone!
Yeah that hurts! Have some comfort in knowing its happened to all of us once in awhile.

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.

I'll ask to have 10 days added. That will start Round 3 10 days later.
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.

The Germans are pretty tough to play and I bet not many will get any points with them. In hindsight I have some better approaches they could take but too late for me and I am keeping stum on what I would do differently.
Was exciting to play with my opponent who really knocked out the turns...
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?

I do not see any files in my CMRT game. Does one player get both files to start and then the game commences? My opponent is Sonicgun. Anyone know him?
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.

I am trying to fully understand the scoring system being used here. I know an explanation is being worked on but figured someone smarter than me might have already figured it out. I am seeing 10 or 11 scores that are all the same. Were all these games surrenders, no shows, or something else? I am guessing they are all the same scenario being all scores are exactly the same.
2 hours ago, Heckkler said:There has to be a bug as my opponent surrendered both games I saw the end screen in both of them and they received 1000 points and I received 1333.
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.
