If that's the case, I guess I can expect more download warnings in the future. As long as there is no consequence, I'll ignore all future warnings.

Thanks for the help Shards.
To update on this. Yes, hitting Restart Replay does indeed trigger a re-download of the game. That's not how it should work.... we're going to put a cache into the next patch so that you'll be free to rewatch without risking alerting the anti-cheat system. Thanks for bringing it to our attention!

Is possible to rewatch the opponent moves? I didn't know that! I used to make a picture of the screen :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Another playback-button question.
Any hope of getting the Skip-the-replay button back?
This could save a lot of mouse-clicks when testing a multiplayer scenario in hot-seat mode.
My poor rodent is complaining...

They're coming closer, I need more points! :)

I wonder did I got the kill points when 2 of my opponents planes crashed without fuel?

Probably.... this map should giving points for any kill, no matter how they did it (disband included)

Have to say, Caen is really turning into a favourite MP map. So many different ways to approach it and I'm never entirely sure whether I'm winning or about to suffer a horrific reverse!

Sorry Omistaja, Celeborn is definitely going to pass you for first place. His defensive play is smashing my aggressive play. You may get 2nd though. I am not sure that I can catch you.

No rest for your crews...

You can blame omistaja for a few of my plans in this round, he beat me up last time and I've tried to copy a few of his operational ideas..

Also, today I learned that 0 efficiency does not affect unit transports... hmm, nasty trick

Today I was not concentrated and I did several mistakes. At this level means I'm lost... :(

Yeah, just hoping to be in the medals. And would be happy if we get a new winner, your winning streak is unreal :D

I had perfect first six or seven turns in both Caen battles, but then I got greedy and rth managed encircle lot of my units.
Still asking why did I leave the Caen :cry:

I was thinking the same while playing, but now I tested and it seems that plane crash is not counted as a kill.

Thinking about maps for the next tournament, torn between a tank focus or a naval focus.

So maps like Rasainiai and Zhitomir or maps like Fleet Command and Crescent Bay.

Any opinions in this group?

We're possibly going to do an invitational again in Spring too

I'd like naval battles for a change.

Back in the early tournament days we (well I..) tried to match players that lived approximately in the same time zone whenever possible.
This should speed up game play.

Also I think adding maybe 5 'playing days' to each scenario would ensure games have a reasonable chance to actually finish.

Hi
I would be against a fleet card

I would go for simple cards with a slight progression ... boot camp , wake island ,
and lastly Crescent Bay

for the invitational bigger cards and 5 cards would be my wish

I have found that I'm perfectly capable of making incredibly stupid mistakes on land or sea (air too) so I don't have a strong preference but I do enjoy variety.

Scenarios where are involved land naval and air all together are the best in my opinion

OOB tournaments scenarios tends to favor the bold but in my (admittedly limited) experience with Caen it seems the most viable German strategy against a competent opponent is to just try to hold Caen proper. The Allies can try to force a crossing north or south of the city but this isn't hard to counter if the German player is paying attention and employs some judicious combat engineering (ie bridge goes boom).

I would like to see a pure naval battle as well, preferably either a carrier engagement in the Pacific or something involving a German attack on a convoy that includes air.
