Even with the extra time another round down and yet again only 1 game out of 3 finished so no real points or results for the match, gg to my opponents but its really rather annoying to go through these entire games only for turn pace to slow to a crawl and then just not finish your matches before the end of the timer.

GG and very WP to Pugstorm. Trying to get a win as the Germans feels incredibly difficult there and some poor luck on that last turn would have made it a draw, getting a total victory feels a bit off considering almost all my men were dead and most of my tanks were on fire compared to your US side but that was an impressive defence you put up. I do hope if theres ever a rematch that we can swap Shreck teams haha, that one team that i think landed 5 out of 6 hits at decent range had me pulling my hair out trying to get rid of they deserve a medal for sure.

Its finally over, if i didn't miss any hitmarkers then by my count it took 22 hits from bazookas, 75s and 76s before i finally scored a penetration on that panther when all of a sudden i manage to get 3 frontal pens in a row.

Turn extension was a big plus for me this round, i'm not sure if im in the same time zone for any of my opponents maybe bar one and you will always have days you can't get a turn played for each player so a few extra days to get to the end of the battle was much appreciated.

I also tried an attack with the Germans but my opponent went with a big aggressive rush down the middle with his first platoon of Shermans, ended up with the loss of a bunch of my infantry and some AT and led to my poor choices with the Panther. I didn't expect the play and it worked out very well. I don't know if anyone else is experiancing some very odd LOS issues on this map with a few of the Hedgerows, I've had spots where my opponent can sit and shoot just fine yet my troops can't see through the bush or one scenario this turn where they can see three Shermans just fine but refuse to fire as they claim to not be able to see or target including one they just grenade assualted but no rockets from the spot i've been shot at from a few turns earlier.

This match is turning into a real oof from me on both rounds, between my panther refusing to spot anything and being one shot and the LOS on my shrecks its looking like a very poor outcome less than 10 turns in.

Just for my opponents in round 2 Pugstrom, Vampiro & Hekkler sorry if there is a delay starting i am going to be in and out of town for a couple of days not a no show just poor timing on the 2nd rounds start for me will get the games started when i can.

25th October although depending on your timezone practically last day to submit rounds will be the 24th, it says for me it will end at 08:15 but i don't know if thats my timezone or not. Starting to look like I will not be completing my CW game either as our turn pace has slowed a bit hopefully we can get a cease fire before we run out of time and the tournament ends.

That was it thanks Meatetr, GG and well played to my opponent a few touch and go rounds there but a very fun match.

Got an error too, my opponent surrendered in game 1 and I then ended my turn in game 2 and got an eror, reloaded and the same so submitted my turn and now its showing as if i surrendered and we each have 2000 points for one of the sides. Yet to see if I will get any more turns back for game 2 or if i've broken something.

Alright can disregard my posts above, my opponent has only played one side of the match in all 3 games so i think they are probably unaware its mirrored or just not aware they need to use both saves.

Yep joining through the PBEM++ menu and have played through a couple of my US turns now no issue i just don't have the Soviet side of the battle in my menu only my US and the previous Holiday tourney rounds which i checked just in case one of them was my Soviet side mislabled but nothing.

For some reason I currently only have one side of the battles turns being sent to me, @imported_TREAD_HEAD I believe we are up against each other and I am only getting my US turns showing in my PBEM folder in game I don't know if you have both sides turns showing up correctly or not? Currently I have turn 3 available to play for US and still no Soviet turn showing. I only managed to do the first round due to my PC dying in round 2 but didn't have this issue with the holiday tourney last time not sure if anyone else has the same issue.

Afaik the turn has to be completed all in one sitting and sent as its only saved when its sent to your opponent. I've lost more than one turn to an unfortunate crash and lost all my progress for the last 15 minutes.

My GPU issues resolved and PC fixed as round 2 comes to an end, sorry again to my opponent that they were unable to play round 2 as a result.

Im sorry to my opponent in round 2 but my PC has suffered a major failure and until i get it fixed i wont be able to do any of my turns.

Could be worse i went from first to 31st , I don't know how our scores ended up so different I only got a tactical victory in both battles compared to your total victory due to surrender but 700 to 8500 is quite a leap.

Just for the flip side of discussion this most of my end turn saves took no longer than 10-15 seconds, any that took longer than that were an outlier I've not noticed any real difference between this tournament and prior mp games.

Ah thanks for the clarification.

GG's to my opponent Luthiens, fun first match my US side might have gone very differently had there been another 5 minutes on the clock and it might have pushed it to a draw. Interestingly after ending the game both of our scores have gone down to just a few hundred points each, I wonder how that works re scoring.

On my first turn i lost a BTR and the burning wreck was hit 5 seconds later by a TOW, a nearby passing BTR was so scared by the loud flash and bang that it sneezed and blew its own ammo rack up killing everyone on board.

I had that issue once loading a save it sat on the continue button for a few minutes, I just force crashed the game and reloaded no issues afterwards.

Looking forward to the next part of this, huge MP AARs are always a treat and the force selection for this one sounds great, hope the little undergunned Pz3's can show off a bit and knock out some T34s with a heat round.

Great video, really hope you keep making these.

Yes we removed the units in the OOB, we forgot the very first time we tried and i thought that may have been the issue as well but unfortunatly it didn't seem to fix the problem.
