I'm not sure if I'm able to compete, I'm surely tempted but I don't want to perform another no-show like (I had to in) the last battle of the CSMF2 tournament. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weapon2010 Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 Love the tournament , but can we do it right ? mirror games do not work unless you can change the location of the mines or any unmovable fixed emplacement (like an 88AT) out side a setupzone , can we please alter the setup of Dawn patrol? or any other scenario that has unmovable fixed emplacements? makes the games more blind and competitive. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt Joch Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 "Dawn Patrol" has been modified for the tournament. Everything, including mines, can now be moved around. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would that be necessary? Buying the farm is one of the most balanced battles around: https://www.theblitz.club/scenarios/combat-mission-battle-for-normandy/buying-the-farm/b-15.htm?action=scenario&id=3583 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weapon2010 Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 The German player has very little option on his set up , no option on the barbed wire at all, and my personal opinion in mirror games you should give the defender maximum flexibility and the largest setup zones so the American is totally is completely in the fog about the defender's position , much more fun to allow the German to choose his defense and not have it provided for him. The same exact reason "Dawn Patrol" was modified. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same exact reason "Dawn Patrol" was modified. I totally agree. Just paint a wide swath of real estate for the defender to set up as they see fit within. Certainly not give hard-wired set up zones with trenches arranged like a trench set up. Hard to surprise your opponent that way in a mirror match. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFCElvis Posted October 9, 2023 Author Share Posted October 9, 2023 Some time in the next couple of hours Slitherine will be sending a "poke" email to all of the "no show" players. I am curious to see who gets this email. You may have played the first turn and your opponent never played theirs and you may get the email. Everyone, may get one regardless of whether or not you've played the Tournament turns. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Kulin Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 I just received one at 9:03 AM Eastern this morning (Wednesday). I am well along in all my games however. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 Same I got one this morning too even though all my games are moving along. Also received at 0903: Quote Hello Ian, With the Grand tournament underway, You and your fellow fighters should be battling it out in the first round. Some of the games are already completed (well done!), some are ongoing and some are yet to get out of the blocks. For those of you who haven't started, or are yet to complete their round - Can you please make sure you have entered battle before the next round starts on the 25th. Otherwise face forfeit and humiliating defeat! Well I don't want to be humiliated 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALBY Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 My games are moving slow as my oppo is tied down in other parts of his life. We are on about turn 30 and I got one of these messages. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFCElvis Posted October 13, 2023 Author Share Posted October 13, 2023 Yes, they decided to send them to everyone. It's nice that they took the time and made nice pretty emails. Mine ended up in the Gmail "Promotions" section which is as good as going to a spam folder. I hope it gets some of these no shows involved in time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eniced73 Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 How and Where do you let them know you cannot continue round 2? Dont want to start and leave my opponent without an opponent. Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont want to start and leave my opponent without an opponent. Thanks. Are you playing Round 1 but dropping out and not playing Round 2? If so, contacting Matrix and asking if they can drop you before opponents are selected would be a good idea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneAge Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Would be a good feature if after 5 days and your opponent is MIA you could put yourself on a new sign-up list. Then 24 hours later you get reassigned a new opponent from this list. You will have almost a week less to play the round, but a least you will be playing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Kulin Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 When exactly does Round One end (date/time)? I am doing okay in CMBN and CMRT and should be finished those soon but my opponent and I are behind schedule on the CMCW games (which alsoi happened to be the longest). We have to do a ceasefire in CMCW and it would be real helpful to know the deadline. Thanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzuya Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 (edited) 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.

Holien Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Hmmm what happens if players don't do a ceasefire and the round ends with turns left to play? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Kulin Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 I believe that whatever points you have showing, based on 3-1 outcomes for each turn accumulated during the tournament, is all you get. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holien Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 19 hours ago, Andrew Kulin said: based on 3-1 outcomes Thanks for the response, not sure what 3-1 outcomes mean? So what you think is that it's better to CF to get more points. As I have no idea who my oppo is and I can't get the in game chat working not sure if my oppo knows that. Also it's not mentioned in the tournament text, if what you are saying is the best way to resolve not completing the games, which it really should be IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
