Great job!!!! Congrats!!
That would be nice but I think that it is going to need to happen outside the game. Perhaps the best thing to do is to try and communicate through the Matrix forum. Not everyone that joins a tournament is is registered on the Battlefront forum but ALL players are registered on the Matrix site.Also, I've been working with the Matrix/Slitherine about trying to create friendly reminder "poke" emails to remind people that they'd signed up for the torunament.
Thanks. I do think that we having the scoring down to somefink that is livable. The best would be if it pumped out realtime CM scores but the game wasn't built for that and too much would have to be rebuilt for it to happen.
I agree and think the tournaments are excellent too. The biggest drag is when people go MIA. When they don't it's good fun.
Thanks guys, some good hard fought battles. Shout out to all my opponents. I got lucky by having active players for all 3 rounds.

Anodai was my opponent in round 2. Our pbem started late. Then he would send several turns/day, and sometimes he would go a week without giving any news.
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.
-
Yeah I got matched up vs anodai which has been active and playing the first 2 rounds. But havent got anything from him so far this rd. I dont see him under that name here, discord, or over at FGM.

I assume round one is over and you all have moved on. How did you like or not like the Scenario I provided for round one. I always like feed back as to what I work on.
This scenario was one I had done for another event, So I modified it to make it somewhat new and also to make it work better for the Tournament requirements that they needed.
I enjoyed it with the changes you made to it. Also liked the other version from your excellent Field Warriors blind tourney awhile back. It’s over at the few good men site for anybody else interested, Good times!

Hi there , Cristi 21 opponent of @MrSpkr I am new into BT Tournaments, I have played mostly against AI ,was a nice experience and I have learned so much from our confrontation. According to Matrix Tournament Rules we should repeat the same battle but switching sides , I can't connect into PBEM ++ as Syria requires a password. I don't want to be disqualified as I am eager to participate into this tournament so if someone know how to proceed into my 2nd battle I am here for advise.Thank you !
As long as you login to Matrix/PBEM+ successfully, then just click Ok at pw screen. Since passwords are blank.

Yes, that is the glitch that Lethaface saw and Probus and GeorgeMC saw in the Cold War tournament. That will (should) self correct. Maybe tomorrow ...maybe when the next turns are played. We're looking into it but I'm not super concerned about it at this time. My #1 concern is that the in game end scores are what appear on the leaderboard when a battle is finished. My #2 concern is that, during most of the tournament, players have a loose sense about who has dealt out more causalities.
The glitch that you're seeing could be somefink that the game is pushing out or could be somefink that the Slitherine servers aren't processing correctly. There have been a couple sightings of it but in all cases it's fixed itself.
Yeah getting that same temp scoring glitch as we finished one game. Expecting it to fix itself when we finish the other game shortly.
Looks like I might be knocking @Lethaface off his scoring pedestal!
By the way whats up with the leader board, that anodia player should be 3rd place with his 2830 pts. But he's at number 1?

Agreed, just dont think they'll throw the book at him. Thinking like 5-10 yrs at best.

I'm going to have to rename these missions with more German style names. Gung Ho! was inspired by the HBO series, Generation Kill and I recall one episode where they were talking about Betty and Wilma so it all sprang from there.
I remember that show, I recall it being better than expected. For anyone interested check it out here! Might have to rewatch this one.

I gotta opponent by the name "Shilod". Didn't find a player here by that name. Not sure if he's played in other tournys. I've been lucky so far with good turn rate players.
Edit to add, checked out his Slitherine profile and he's played plenty of FoG tournys, appears to be pretty good at that game. This looks to be his first CM tourney.

Giving this mod a bump due to the new CMSF2 tourney kicking off today! Thanks for your work on this very handy mod @The Steppenwulf

The match has begun.
I have 2 files: one of 10 turns and another of 25. I launched the 2 files. The one with 25 turns allows me to do the setup for the US but once finished and sent the turn remains displayed in "PBEM in progress". I have to log in again although I did not leave the game. I redid the setup for the 25 turns US, and send the turn again but it stays there. I can't delete the file with 10 turns.

Hey guys is this your first tourney? If so this problem MIGHT be from having two different accounts conflicting with one another. I had this problem and created a Matrix support ticket. They got me fixed up in a few days.
If not, maybe your opponent has this issue. But again Im not 100% sure about this, just wanted to share my problem/solution from back when we were testing this stuff. Good luck!

The third place should have been your... Ok, i didn't played this scenario before, and in the first turns I was massacred by Russian Tanks and IFV... Then maybe you took too many risks (but with this broken scoring system what else to have bit of fun ?) and my last Tank survived, immobilized, to multiple shots, evend destroying a Russian tank and some IFVs. Sorry for my slow turn rate about 10 days ago... unfortunately I had some health problems that made me very difficult to send my turns back.
Your turn rate was still pretty good, no worries. Hope your health issues are resolved for you. Thanks for the game and good luck in the next one. Good times!

Nice @The_Capt . Congratulations to Kees, @Lethaface, gfs26 who came in the top three. @MeatEtr was close and I finished middle of the pack (to be fair to me I lost a few points when my opponent surrendered, awww well).
Yeah I got very unlucky in the last several turns which allowed gfs26 to slide into my 3rd place. An unbelievable M1 that held out through several side shots from ATGM rockets and RPGs. Oh well, poop happens, they’ll be many more of these tourneys. Not to mention the scoring system getting fixed from here on out.
Now onto the new CMSF2 tourney firing up April 6th.

Well what is your work around? I bought my game in 2011 and slitherine is telling me that my serial is not recognized?
-
Also another FYI... for some reason after activating all the modules successfully. They still show up on the Steam page as not purchased. Even though they are clearly activated and accessible in-game.
-
For bundle users (one key for all) I just wanna highlight something since there's alot of copying/pasting of keys. Dont forget to go back to the Slitherine site to get a newly generated Steam key for each module. Dont forget to re-copy your bundle key and enter it at Slitherine. Then copy the new Steam key to activate new products at Steam. Rinse and repeat! I was well aware of this but still almost made a few mistakes.
-
FYI Steam reboots/maintenance its servers on Tuesdays about 7-8pm EST. So this might give a few users some problems.

Long interview with UKR infantry callsign Predator (the guy with the trench squire). Tweet has drone pics of the aftermath. Auto translate does an ok job on youtube
Wow that guy lived through that. What a beast! Really need this interview with subtitles.

By the way, I'm seeing two CMSF2 tourneys now. One says Beta with 54 players with Rd time of 27 days. The other shows Beta 2 with 3 players with Rd time of 50 days. Same start date of April 6th. Im guessing these will be merged into a single tourney?

I was really on the fence because 50 days is a loooooooonnnnnnnnngggg time per round. I wanted to make sure that everyone had enough time. If people finish early then they sit back and wait for Round 2 to start.
Yeah I think this is a good amount of time. Current tourney feels a bit short on time but I think this new one will be just right.

Yeah for the hq that is probably what happened
. Objectives turned off as the only goal is destruction of enemies.
By the way, pretty sure exiting troops gives your opponent kill points. So better off keeping them on map, even though most will die anyway.

@BFCElvis I noticed something strange, during the battle my USSR AA HQ (which had an Igla which is why I remembered) has disappeared. No casualty to be seen, plus there was no artillery / air / scouts in play yet when they did disappear. I ordered them (HQ + 2x Igla troopers) to dismount the BMP and later I couldn't find the HQ.
On the US side there was an FDC vehicle, arriving dismounted. That has also disappeared, fwiw the FDC crew had perished by the time I noticed the vehicle disappeared.Fortunately these have zero to none impact on the game played, but still strange so thought to mention it here.
Are you sure you didn't move them to the exit zones? Or through them?

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.
