Lethaface Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Managed to apply just before the deadline :). First file send without passwd. So I understand correctly that I get e-mail confirmation everytime there is a new turn? Matched up with @Marco2marzo, GL & HF! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chibot Mk IX Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Hi , I am not very familiar with how the CM games work in PBEM++ server. Last night I opened the turn 1 file, spend some time to deploy the 1st platoon and plot the waypoints for them. Hit save, go to bed. This morning I loaded the save file, all my work on deployment and waypoints are gone. So PBEM++ doesn't support save game? Thank you 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PBEM++ files reside on the Slitherine servers. A saved game is stored locally on your computer. There isn't a way to mash them together. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chibot Mk IX Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 (edited) Ahhh, crap, that hurts. I usually play CM on a laptop. That laptop is a very popular item in my family during holiday season. My wife and kids love to use that laptop to watch movie and TV show. And it is very hard to find 4 continuous hours to finish the planning and deployment. Party, friends and family are going to occupy most of the time. On the bright side, these are relatively small size scenarios, company size battles. But the first couple turns still need a lot of time Looks like I got to run the CM on a low-end desktop in the basement. Keep the game running all day. Issue order to one squad at a time, whenever I can spare time in the basement. Hopefully kids don't press the power button when I am away from the desk ************************************ I took half day off, spent 3 hours at home and finished my US game first turn. Hopefully I can finish my mirror game's first turn tomorrow. Edited December 22, 2022 by Chibot Mk IX 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that I may have spent 10 minutes on each battle setting up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a couple of turns of that I started moving men forward. But there wasn't much I did in setup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALBY Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 (edited) I am only seeing turns on 1/2 my mirror ? Is that normal ? I thought this match was mirrored and I actually left the Ivan password blank as instructed I am on US turn 5. I have not yet deployed the rooskies I don’t think my opponent is on the forum here.

It sounds like your opponent didn't read the instructions and play their initial Red turn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketman Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 I have no turns from my oppo yet. Noted that there is another player with almost the same name on the scoreboard. Maybe he entered twice and won't play me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurent 22 Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 The same, my opponent started the game before me, wednesday 21, and I don't even have a 1st round of anything, only a mail from Matrix telling me to wait my turn . I know RooksAndKingz 's other opponent. He will tell me by email if he has received any news, for the moment their game seems not to have started either. RooksAndKings participated in the CW beta tournament and his score is 0 as if he had not participated in fact. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lethaface Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 I also haven't received my Blue file, but somehow did get my RED file returned. @Marco2marzo did you send your red file? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butschi Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 For me the second file looked strange. No proper description (I seem to remember) and it only said 10 turns. Good thing I opened it anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like others here I'm only playing one side of the mirror. After the tournament started there was 1 turn for me (red), which I returned without setting pwd. Since then I got it back two times, but no trace of the other game. I tried mentioning my oppo here but seems like he isn't a regular visitor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFCElvis Posted December 23, 2022 Author Share Posted December 23, 2022 It is a downside to the Matrix tournaments. If you look at other tournaments you'll see that there is always a number of players who don't show up after signing on (this is the one right next to our: https://www.matrixgames.com/tournaments/scores/857). The back end system allows for use to award points automatically if someone drops out. So, everyone should receive some points when the round is over. Not as much fun but it's somefink. Hopefully the 2nd round will get you a more accurate opponent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose that it's possible but my guess is that your opponent doesn't realize it. Have you sent a PM? I saw that you look at their profile a few hours ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALBY Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 My files are not saving ! I’ve redone the turns several times, hit the OK and they just won’t upload or close. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand how someone would see and play file X but not file Y, but then I often don't understand why people do/don't do something so there's that. Guess it would come in handy if we could send messages on the Matrix tournament website. I tried looking in the forum there as well, but didn't find him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stimo Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 (edited) I'm paired with the KingZ, and didn't get anything from him yet. Any chance the scenario could be made publicly available? Because I'd be happy to invite another lonely heart for this dance, even for peanuts. Maybe we could then pretend we were there too...
