All the PBEM++ turns run through the game itself, regardless of whether you're using the Steam or Battlefront or Matrix version. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Kulin Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Is first scenario only 10 minutes long? That is what I saw when doing my first turn (setting up password - which should be left blank BTW) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weapon2010 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 my german opp just surrendered ...........why? idk.........he was taking a beating , but no reason to surrender 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Kulin Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Auto-surrender? Pretty sure that happened with my opponent as German side when we did Barkmann's Corner in last tournament. He was getting destroyed and it was near end and he said he did not surrender. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFCElvis Posted February 16 Author Share Posted February 16 How's this for weird...... In one of my battles we're fighting it out pretty hard. On the leaderboard it shows as 38-22. The other shows at 0-0 because we've made no contact. It is the battle that I play as the Germans. We're 15 turns into the battle. I've taken 2 of the touch locations. No contact at all. Not even a sound contact. Not a single shot fired. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still no sign of him. I've touched the next VL. I only have 1 more touch location. At this point I am guessing that he has either ammased all of his units in the rally location or done some math and figured that he'll win if he does nothing more than take 0 casualties. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a small night PBEM once where we interpreted the brief differently and never saw each other in the dark forest. Not the most exciting of games . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like he set up in the rear and conceeded the touch locations. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I thought you read I am your opponent Yes I redeployed to the rear from the start. I thought you had seen the smoke screen to cover my retreat, and I feared that you would immediately launch after me. I didn't anticipate that you would find out so late that I was gone, you won't have much time left to take the last objective. My area is easier to defend because all access routes are exposed. I don't know if I made the right choice because the Germans have good firepower, however the panzerfaust will be ineffective if I manage to keep them at a good distance. For my part, playing the Germans, I don't think I can take the US rally zone, your right wing is holding up well and I'm running out of ammo. (I'm tempted to use the pronoun "he" instead of "I" like Julius Caesar in "The Gallic Wars" ) Edited February 18 by laurent 22 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked to see if anyone had the handle that is used for the Martix site and didn't find a match. It's excellent to know that the person that is going to crush me is here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laurent 22 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 (edited) 1st round finished! Thank you @BFCElvis for these 2 battles which will be written in the history books, I will observe a minute of silence on the graves of your men in Colleville-sur-Mer in Normandy, an American cemetery not far from my home.

Great games. I really enjoyed them.....even though I lost both battles. I didn't get slaughtered as bad as I normally do and I'm thankful for that. Your strategy as the Americans was brilliant. I saw that you had 2 KIA and only 10 wounded. For anyone who saw my earlier puzzled post on my battle playing as the Germans. He let me roll untouched to all 3 Touch victory locations. It turned out he had all, but 1, unit in the Rally Location. I could not crack that even a little bit. And the 1 unit, a MG team, that wasn't there was in the stone farm house. I had tried to move a large healthy force across the field by the farmhouse to try and flank the Rally Location. The MG team stopped them dead. Most of the German units in this battle are Green and Conscript units. That gun held them all down. Brilliant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackal2100 Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 The scoring for this tournament is broken like the last one was. It gave me a timeout penalty even though my games were finished multiple weeks ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Kulin Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Talk to BFCElvis. If you have screenshots of your scores they can probably fix that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
