Yep, its just that the paint thingy saves as bmp - but .jpg are fine. You probably want to take a screenshot of our game now, before I totally destroy you - (funny how you are german and defend again eh?) -

Yep, print screen, then I just paste it into the 'paint' programme and save as a bmp - you can then draw arrows of advances etc or mark key points Its probably a lot of work so I am just doing it for one scenario - one pic every 5 turns or so. Should build up, with some comentary into a nice AAR -

OK - Lets talk tatics In the last tourney I did pretty well in each game; draw, minor victory etc but I gave away a lot of points. Is it better to not try and win an individual game so that you dont give away many points? Or have a got this all wrong??? Is there a strategy to this type of tourney scoring or have I just got way too much time on my hands?? -

Welcome DerBlitzer... Sly, I am playing Dinga and Walker. If you remember they both took the maximum amount of points when they played me, last tourney. THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN! They must be thinking, they have this tourney in the bag!!! I going to set up a Brave.net site to post the pics - so after each round pls send - -
The final standings are Miles 13 points Walker 12.5 points Dinga 44 11.5 points U8led 10 points Melb_will 9.5 points Bert 9 points Fiaros 7 points Gort 7 points Mikado 5 point Warhammer 3 points Major Tum 3 points Ozi 3 points These were the old results - does anuone know if miles can play the new tourney as reigning champion?

From memory, we had 3 matches per round so, 3 rounds, 9 matches? Also, it took a month to finish each round so, that would be 3 months? I am not really bothered but maybe a 3rd round for some would be too much of a committment? Something else... is there any way we could get the highlights from a match/game on video? Would be good to watch what happened to other players, after the tourney had finished. Perhaps someone could host a site? I would volunter but dont have the technical ability.

Points system...
Neil aka Major Tum replied to Neil aka Major Tum's topic in Combat Mission: Beyond Overlord
Hi Sly - Long time no hear. I understand but... You say a 200 point tank? You mean 200 points to buy/get, when and if you are allowed to choose what equipment you want? (the options screen) OK but how is the result calculated from this? Because it looks like a % i.e I might get 52 and the oppent gets 48. Also, how does capturing a flag work i.e is it the most points of equipment that sit on it ot closes to it?
