My opponent last game just moved around behind where my reinforcements came in. No sense of fair play at all. After turn 5, i refused to play against an opponent like that, so I stopped returning turns. I'm sure he will 'win' the round, but I don't care. This wouldn't have happened if the scenarios are kept secret. Or at least protected from pre-release. Or built so an opponent can't play the system. Takes all the fun out of the tournament. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Kulin Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 And yet they post official videos or such before the tournament rounds about the scenarios. To market the games, generate excitement I figure. But certainly provides lots of information in advance about the scenarios to anyone who wants to look at them. And these are mirrored tournaments so unfortunately there really is no fog of war, at least in terms of forces and initial set-up zones though reinforcements could be a surprise, as in where they show up and what you actually get, unless you have played through the scenario before or looked at it through the editor. But the scenarios used in the tournament can be modified for the tournament. Point scoring for sure since BFC seems to be aiming for about 2,000 points +/- per side and I have noticed inconsistencies in the briefings where original point values are shown either on the strategic map screens or the briefings. And possibly also in forces that are in play. CMRT Round 2 briefing gives German side King Tigers in the briefing notes but only regular Tigers showed up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You got a point, just like I said , I would recommend not to peek into that scenario to avoid spoilers. And yes, to have a fair play is important, sorry to hear your story. This 3rd round scenario has been sit in my hard drive since 2017. I opened it several times , purposed a deployment plan but never hit the red GO button. But I am pretty sure some of the tournament players have played this scenario before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed he gets it back in time. I think we just about made it. Did not know there were overtime in the scenario. Oh and the reason I only send the single file that times was because I lost connection to the server after doing one side and had to go to bed. GG. Was a bit of a roller-coaster for me. When I lost 5 t-34s early, it was looking pretty bad. I think I got a bit lucky to pull it back. Also I think there is something wrong with the scoring since the German side seems to get all the points from exiting tanks, even if they where not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GG well played! Nice smokescreens with your Tigers too haha! Yeah I think exiting any tanks with the Axis only serves to take pts away from the Soviets. No actual pts are awarded to the Axis for this. Also I managed to keep alive 6 Soviet tanks while you had 4 survive. Though made no difference in the scoring. But you exiting that Tiger was the difference maker. Edited December 4, 2023 by MeatEtr 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Probus Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 FYI, for those of us dunces who couldn't find the observer on the Soviet side, it's the 'jeep'. I almost ran the jeep straight into enemy lines on a scouting trip when I noticed he was the observer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought, I could be a nice guy and point this out in the forums. Or be a overly competitive snarky bastard and not say anything. I made my choice!

Chibot Mk IX Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Not sure if it will be a problem later. I opened my German 1st turn. On the PW screen I leave it blank, but first time it says incorrect PW. 2nd time hit"OK" it brings me into the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artkin Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 (edited) I don't even want to begin to send my soviet turn now.

All that time setting up and my opponent surrenders in first turn! I should of looked at what he was doing in his other games as it looks like he has surrendered all of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackal263 Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 (edited) Considering the huge amount of time to play CMx2 battles, I think the only solution is to make invitational tournaments, allowing to join only to those players that have a 100% finished games (or at least won because the other player vanished) I was playing two good battles in this 3rd turn, still very balanced in my opinion... after about 15 turns of regular play, my opponent (i was playing as nickname gfs26) decided to surrender in both battles, with no tactical reason (he was not defeated, maybe a bit worse in the battle as Russians (his army) vs Germans). This is the reason I decided to give up to any future tournament, and try to find reliable players (there are many, I knew many on the FGM forum) for future battles.

laurent 22 Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 What's good about this mirror tournament is the emotions that cancel each other out: my opponent has just received a dozen more tanks = life is not worth living then I receive around ten tanks as reinforcements = life is a party! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holoween Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Meh just be happy your oponent is playing. My first two didnt show up and my last one stopped sending turns curiously just as my t34s broke into his backfield when attacking and when i wiped his right flank company on the defense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeatEtr Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Man this battle is very bloody and brutal. Right from turn one with both sides turning the church into lead city! Appears I’ll be winning both battles. Pretty tough for the Germans in this one. +1 to some sort of a reputation system for invitational tourneys! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurent 22 Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 I went to the wrong forum, I was talking about the CW tournament. In any case it's the same in the 3 games, reinforcements arrive at half time (my perception as a losing player: I always have the impression that my opponent receives more reinforcements than me, with better optics, a better sales for its men, prettier uniforms etc...). The battles are brutal in all 3 tournaments, and really difficult. I registered for 3 tournaments and I'm lucky, since the 1st round I was able to finish all the battles on time, except for the 2nd round of CW, frustrating because the scenario was very good (nice map, variety of units), my opponent started to send me his turns in the last week. In previous tournaments SF2, CW, I had a lot of ghost players. The game is well advanced on RT, we obtain almost the same tactical result: the church resists and our 2 wings are blocked, no breakthrough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
