I am starting to think you are just a troll. you use a helper program and it interfered with the files. It took a while to figure out. Hence my misunderstanding. rather than accepting the obvious answer, you’ve chosen to sh*t talk me. and you are a coward on the battlefield. So there is that as well. Have a nice day. I return to you all the characterizations. Frankly, you were the one talking about cheating and being disqualified from Slitherine, so if you want to blame someone just look in the mirror. End of story. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't seem to impact the pbem++ or any of my turns or opponent's turns....that I'm aware of. I do play on different PC's depending where I'm at. I also got some emails with warnings, sometimes I look at the turn but it's too late to play it (or something else comes up) and I quite the game. I don't see how loading up a file and looking at the turn more than once can be considered cheating. In the end I just made sure to not close the game after loading a file / only load if I was sure I can play. But indeed no impact on our games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate having reinforcements suddenly appear in line of fire. The US side is at a serious disadvantage and can more or less just hope for the best. TRPs for Soviets should have been excluded to make it a bit harder to bring down the hammer on the US troops. The only good thing is that my oppo is suffering more than me It is based on a stock scenario that IIRC is not recommended for H2H play, so..... Is there any point in exiting units rather than not having them killed? Any difference in score since the scenario is not to be finished? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we don't finish the scenario then we don't get penalised for not exiting stuff. But exiting stuff = not removing targets and not letting your oppo kill em! It's all about killing more of his guys than he's killing your guys... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, got be more polite. This one looks like a fun scenario in single player mode, but it is not a good idea to pick this in a PBEM With Soviet BMP-2s park in front of the place where the US reinforcement pop up, I lost the interests to play the game, I just hit done after opening the file in the last couple turns. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I messaged you on discord - or someone who goes by the same name anyways - that I'd be away for a few days. Should perhaps have messaged you here.

Lethaface Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 I agree this battle isn't ideal for non-blind tournament play; it's relatively open and most reinforcements come in the map at a fixed position/time, which is in view of the enemy. My opponent wisely chose to use the information available to him and I followed the example :D. However it's not really a tactical game now, more like a game of 'order area fire where reinforcements spawn'. Of course the specific made scenario's are best for a tournament, but for existing maps I think it's good to choose a scenario (or QB?) which don't need 'houserules' or playing blind to shine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lethaface Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 (edited) @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.
