Is there a place where replays are posted? I would love to see how the top players did it :-)

People have to export and make their replay available.

And in the current build it's a bit hit and miss as to which side you actually see play!

I've started a bit of coverage of one of my games here: http://www.slitherine.com/forum/viewtop ... 0&t=102737

I trust most people enjoyed the tournament and congratulations to the winners.

My tournament was incredibly frustrating. I was one of 3 players who ended up with 450 points because not a single opponent turned up! Literally all I did in each game was to buy my units and set them up in their initial positions.

Happy there's a new tournament starting and will sign up. My only plea is for players who signed up and didn't bother playing in the last one are all banned. Let's weed out the time-wasters and allow people who actually want to play to have that opportunity!

I hope the organisers can do something about this.

HI,

That is indeed a horrible experience!

We are working to upgrade the PBEM system for all our games, and one of the future plans is to be able to support the sort of think you're talking about where signing up and not playing is actively discouraged.

Hope that you get a better draw next time around

In our third scenario, I played an opponent who did not finish the game. I was winning and/or doing very well. Am I penalized in score because he did not complete in timely manner?

Looking at the scores from your third game, it looks like the system has made some adjustments and moved some of your opponents points over to your as a partial compensation.

So my opponent stopped playing after Round 12. I was adjacent to one of his HQ's with a strong force. Taking that would have brought some real points. Will I be forced to simply take this score from an incomplete game?

My first tourney ever, just trying to figure it all out.

It was still a blast, and I am signed up for the next.

One thing I really liked was the theme, though it doesn't seem to have carried over into the (otherwise great) third scenario. Alas I do not detect a theme in the next tournament (which has not precluded my signing up)

Re future themes would love to see a "Brittania Stands Alone" tournament that starts with a scenario that would have to be called "Their Finest Hour" (do i need to explain what it would be about???), then a scenario that involves surface raiders, and finally a convoy against a wolf pack (perhaps augmented by air)
