I had a total victory in both rounds and got 1300 points.

There is no auto surrender in multiplayer. This only happens against the AI in single player.

Just finished my Round 2 matches against Atlas Actual.  Had a blast.  Literally.  Actually made a kill with a VBIED out in the open.  Barely.
Great opponent.  Pretty evenly matched if you look at our scores.

In case anybodys wondering... no an 82mm mortar round cant penetrate the top hull of a BMP. Or I got unlucky, thought for sure they could. 😱

Unless something has recently changed, everything CMBN installs goes into the main install directory. Nothing should be in the documents folder. CMBN is the only CM2 game that does this. All the others put the games files/user data into the documents folder. So your mods z folder should be on the C drive ...CMBN/data/z. Something about Microsoft changed something but CMBN had already shipped.
I'd backup your mods folder, grab the latest installer and do a clean install.

That does ring a bell as I think this happen to me before in the CMBN tourney when my opponent surrendered there.
That is interesting! Are you sure that pic was snapped after the tourney? Because it appears it wasnt as it says above the score " Currently playing" and not the "Ended on" date. Which is what I've seen before. It records the scores correctly but then makes the wrong timed out adjustment afterwards. I've never seen a second change in scores post tourney.
In a nutshell, it appears it treats the person accepting the surrender as quitting or timing out as they cant return another file. In other words, the system cant tell the difference between a surrender and somebody quitting. Hence the timed out penalty.
Also, because I think surrenders do sometimes get calculated correctly. Something that might play a factor is who starts the battle and who surrenders. As in, if I start the battle then I can accept the surrender correctly. Where as if my opponent is the battle starter and surrenders then the system miscalculates it.

I have had the same problem in the blitzkrieg tournament. I believe it is a problem with how their scoring system handles surrenders. It counts as if the battle never finished as you never reached the final turn.

@BFCElvis Somethings wrong with the scoring, I Iost pts for some reason. My score went from 2150 down to 1881. Apparently that timed out symbol is the culprit. Not sure why as we finished this game weeks ago with my opponent surrender. I think the other battle is fine.

I want to thank @Artkin for making sure we could finish our first round of the tournament, and for making it an interesting set of matches.
This is the end result from my assault. Was able to have a TRP on a group of his T72s which was fortunate for me and I was able to take all objectives.

For my defense, I tried to spread out my tanks as much as possible, and although their performance was overall very lackluster, I did have a hero crew who destroyed 
3 T62s and 2 BMPs before going down, by hiding in the small forward Western set of buildings. Their sacrifice will be remembered.

Sure hope his dislike for the area fire order isn't playing a factor in playing. Interesting how he was very active in that discussion while not playing your game. Hate to see unfinished games in the first invitational tourney for CM. In my nearly 25 yrs of playing CM1 and 2 in lots of tourneys/campaigns/ladders, I've never come across a player wanting a house rule for restricted area fire use.
Hope you guys can finish up, think you got until the 14th.

Wasn't my finest performance. My defence plan was entirely ruined to the unexpected poor performance of the T72s. I would take T72s from cold war any day over these pieces of scrap metal. 
And typical of me, I messed up the timing of my attack so more troops were killed then needed before the arty could do its work. 

In other words... CM Space Lobsters is coming in 2024 everybody! We've all waited over 20 years for it and its finally coming. You can all rest easy now. 😁

Nice article, thanks for posting! 👍

Agreed on the T72s, they probably let everybody down! Its sure tough KOing those T62s, that ERA is a game changer. I did some last min testing and found this out after my setup. But was able to readjust my defense after the start.
Also a side note, those ATGMs from the T62s pretty much suck. From both my games it appeared to do nothing after several hits, except one broke a gun. The HEAT shells killed every time they hit.

This is the Twitch playthrough of the first scenario (Wadi Armour Clash) in the upcoming Slitherine Tourney. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2081184796 Interesting watching how these guys plan what they are doing.
