I wonder, which scenario will be in the next round. Comparing to date - it will be Barbarossa or operation Bagration (poor Germans! ). What do you think about it ?

He-he! Sounds well, comrade. Hope to see you in final battle

I love, love, love seeing all these reports coming in, and according to my calculations we have about half of the battles completed.

This is outstanding and a lot of eager generals out there.

What I am extremely pleased to see is the following.

About half of the wins were for the allies half for the axis, approximately, I will post the final results once completed.

Also according to a cursory glance of whether or not it made a difference who was able to issue the challenge versus accepting the challenge it appears that that is also half and half.

I am sure the developers will love hearing that their balanced scenario still remains balanced even after being out there for 6 years.

I am confident that the remaining battles will be able to finish within the time allotted, and we will be able to start Round 2 as planned.

Still super excited.

That there is music to my ears.

Padisha and I are on turn 14. Without too many spoilers, it is pointing in the direction of a win for the Allies (me). Will report in the final result.

I have had this issue since upgrading to Windows 10 Creators Edition (spring update) - and I reported it in the forum under support, but no answer. I will try the windowed mode - I guess that will work out fine although it seems strange that I have to use it (and need to research how to...)

I need help with one tech issue. Hopefully there is already a topic (and solution) for this but I can't find it. I have issues with viewing my opponent's turn. I open the game as it is my turn and I see the first action. However then I see only Internet Explorer "processing" icon and hear only sounds. Is there any possibility to replay it?

i have the same issues sometimes - i need to close all other open windows - no browser or steam any kind open programm is bad for it ..

will writing this i have a idea i never tried befor - window mode / ill run in fullscreen - need to check that.

I`ve tried windowmode today - it seems that this is way more stable then playing in fullscreen.

You need to open a game to go Windowmode/settings right side but it saves the windowmode for other games.

Generals!

Reporting in that Woken has defeated me!

Puddleduck: Axis
Woken: Allies

Seemed like a walk in the park for Woken...so hopefully the next general has a good head on his shoulders!

Armstein Reporting in

Bocage Breakout

Sparatacus vs Armstein
Armstein as axis
German decisive victory

Reporting in on behalf of Padisha (as Axis) and I (as Allied): Decisive victory (all victory points) in round 16 to the Allies (me).

It was clear half way through that it was going to be tough for the Axis, but Padisha kept the doors closed on a few major cities for a while.

Looking forward to round 2!

Hi,
I report battle result between drkjell (Axis) and yoky (Allies) that Allies won after turn #14 with DC. Thank you drkjell for nice tough match!

Result SSIGeneral vs frighteningfred:

SSIGeneral as Axis DV

It is with heavy heart that I must report my demise at the hands of thehistoricalgamer (allies). While the battle raged until the final turn and the axis managed to hold onto three objectives, the allies dominated the bulk of the play. Well played, thehistoricalgamer! Good luck with the rest of the tournament.

Kondi754 (allies) - Brattslapper (axis)
A screenshot showing the situation after my 9th move. Unfortunately, my opponent appears very rarely and irregularly, so I don't know if we will be able to finish within the time limit.
It seems to me that my victory is a foregone conclusion.
Hope my rival will make the last move, so I will get the last VP and win.

The following game has completed zachmann vs. riker

Congratulations at passing the First Round.

Here are the stats:
Axis wins: 13
Allied wins: 14
Unknown: 5
(How is that for even?)

What about if you chose the side?
Chosen: 18
Accepted: 14

The next round will be posted same time as 1st Round: Monday/Tuesday 12:00 am. June 20th.

I am pairing up based on knowing what a person has for the game is first priority, then if they chose in the First Round, then based on time played and are of the country.
(This gets complex, but not everyone who had to accept will get to chose this time as you have to have the right game, and thankfully there are enough players that have this version of the game.)

These are the players I am unsure what versions of the game they have:
woken
thewhitewhale

I am so excited that this is going so well, and that this post has already garnered over 60,000 views since it's inception.
I have heard a lot of feedback from the participants that they have really enjoyed playing this part of the game, and are eager for their chance at the next tournament.

This is why I did it folks so...YAY!!!

See you all in about 36 hours for Round 2!!!

Until then...Stay Lutheran My Friends.

(Oh yeah, and while I am at it, My wife and I just watched Silence last night. That is the new movie by Martin Scorsese. Great, great film, everyone should see. I would love to discuss with anyone anytime, as I cannot stop thinking about it. So if you have seen it, or after you watch it, private message me so we can discuss, thanks!)

Sent you a PM with the details of which DLC I've got, goose. Let me know if you need any more info.

Can't wait until round two, looking forward to matching wits against another General.

Would really enjoy seeing some battle reports and maybe some 'tips' to winning the scenario, obviously don't expect any Feldmarshalls to reveal all their tricks!
