That could indeed be the case for the AA HQ now that I think of it (can't check at the moment), but not for the dismounted FDC vehicle as I can't move that one. Or did it spawn in the exit zone? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Are you sure you didn't move them to the exit zones? Or through them? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah for the hq that is probably what happened . Objectives turned off as the only goal is destruction of enemies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So better off keeping them on map, even though most will die anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have already exited most of my supply convoy, the rest probably won't make it there even if I'd ordered them . They can take the exit to the eternal pixelbattle grounds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No but you're putting yourself at a disadvantage. If you were to complete the game (DON'T DO THAT) any units remaining on the map would count as casualties. Any units that have exited won't nor will they if you stop playing the battle before the end of turns (DO THIS). The disadvantage is that you don't have those units to inflict casualties. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ng cavscout Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Unfortunately I haven't received a file from my opponent in over a week. Still, that just means I get beaten with a hose less this final round than the first 2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chibot Mk IX Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 So we have seen a bunch of burning T-80B/M1 wreck. How often do you see these beasts be killed by shot in front arc? I saw one M1 destroyed by penetration at low front hull (at 150m distance). T-80B's low front hull is a weak part, but its front upper hull and front turret are impenetrable to 105mm APFSDS and I-TOW. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually it does better when it's fielded by opponents 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lethaface Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 (edited) Although I had already congratulated @Free Whisky on discord, I thought to do it another time here. It was a close game, although not my favorite for a mirror tournament but after the TOW and Abrams came into play it became more interesting / dynamic. I see the top 5 of the tournament was very close, that's usually a good sign. Although we're always critical most of it is constructively intended ;-), my thanks to @BFCElvis for organizing the tournament and the rest of the team for providing the scenario's ( @The_Capt @George MC @slysniper ).

You are very much welcome. FYI the scenario I did up for the tourney is on a Pete W creation for CMCW BAOR - a bit of a teaser. The scenario planned for it is very different (first off there will be Canadians on it) but we thought putting one out there for the tourney would be kinda cool. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Nice @The_Capt . Congratulations to Kees, @Lethaface, gfs26 who came in the top three. @MeatEtr was close and I finished middle of the pack (to be fair to me I lost a few points when my opponent surrendered, awww well). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I got very unlucky in the last several turns which allowed gfs26 to slide into my 3rd place. An unbelievable M1 that held out through several side shots from ATGM rockets and RPGs. Oh well, poop happens, they’ll be many more of these tourneys. Not to mention the scoring system getting fixed from here on out. Now onto the new CMSF2 tourney firing up April 6th.

Ok, i didn't played this scenario before, and in the first turns I was massacred by Russian Tanks and IFV... Then maybe you took too many risks (but with this broken scoring system what else to have bit of fun ?) and my last Tank survived, immobilized, to multiple shots, evend destroying a Russian tank and some IFVs. Sorry for my slow turn rate about 10 days ago... unfortunately I had some health problems that made me very difficult to send my turns back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
