Hi,

I'm going to setup a second "test" tournament to start at the end of next week 20th/21st August with 7 day gameweeks.

I'll change the settings around Bye points and turns required before moderation of points and also the map lineup.

In the current version of the game, there are two maps we haven't used yet that have Tournament Support:

- Sandstorm at the Oasis
- Wake Island Assault

So I'll be including these for testing. I'd like to include a third map too, I'm thinking Two Bridges as everyone generally gets points from that one (and it's usually over in 15 turns, which is good for these shorter game week test.

We'll let everyone know when it's open for sign up!

Live for signups now!

I'm gonna sit this one out as I'm planning on being away from computer mid-Sept. GL everyone.

That didn't take long! I definitely get why big maps such as the kind I prefer are problematic in tournaments, but I still think it would be cool to include The Russian Campaign one of these days. Like in a masochist-only tournament for example, heh...

Hay Shards,
Sorry to do this to you but could you de-enlist me from the second tournament?
My new fly rod just came in and the redfish are biting. I won't have time to provide my opponents with good matches.

thanks!

I've not gotten any confirmation email after signing up.
Could you please check if I'm in?

erik,
Try to sign up again. It'll tell you if you're already signed up.

@conboy, you resign from the tournament from the website, there should be a Leave button where the Join button would be

I've tried to sign up 4 times already. No luck.

It seems that the tournie login does not like that I used the Chrome-saved login details (which works in the forums etc)
I cleared and logged in from scratch and I'm finally in

So I have a dumb question. This is my first multiplayer game. Can someone point me to information about how to do my turns, and generally how things work in the game? I have logged in the multiplayer tab of the game and see my match, but I am not sure what to do from there.

There are two tournament match in "My Match" and they look the same as each other, what happened?

Tournament games are played as Paired Games. So each round is two matches against the same player, with you playing as one side in one game, and the other side in the second.

So, for Sandstorm (the first round's map), you're British in one game and Germans/Italians in the other.

You play and score points for both games.

Hi,

The games with the green soldier head are currently your turn. Select one and click "Launch" in the bottom-right to load it up.

You'll get an intro to the scenario and may have to click play to review the replay of your opponents last turn (at the moment, that's won't be much ).

Each of the maps in these tournaments start with a Deployment Phase as your first turn. My advice is to read the introduction and ensure that you review the objectives (you win by earning VP from achieving objectives). Then take a look at the map and purchase your forces (remember, if you're playing as the Germans/Italians, that you are buying forces for BOTH nations).

When you're happy, End Turn and the system will upload the game to the server and tell your opponent that it's their turn. You'll get an email from the system when the turns have been passed back to you.

Thanks

Thanks Shards, that is so easy I think I can even follow it

Got it, thanks!

Welcome to the tournament. I takes some guts to sign up if you have little OOB-experience

New to these tourneys. I have a question: If you lose a unit during play does that free up points to replace that unit? (I know, unintentional play on words "unitlost")

unitlost --
Usually. It frees up the CPs but sometimes the game doesn't let you buy more if the scenario is set up that way.
Check your dead file (casket in the forces view) and see if you can revive one. There's a flat line button you can hit. Mouse over it and it'll tell you how much it'll cost to revive it.

I shoulda signed up for this one! It's raining all the time here...

grrr

Hi
bin erst seit wenigen Tagen Besitzer dieses Spiels, habe mich aber sofort für das 2. Turnier angemeldet, weil ich der Meinung bin: ... spielen und verlieren ist immer noch besser, als nicht verlieren und nicht gespielt zu haben.
Zur Vorbereitung auf das Turnier habe ich glücklicher weise zwei offene Multi-Player Spiele bestreiten wollen, das eine hat leider der Gegner nach 4-5 Zügen überraschend aufgegeben, die 2.Partie läuft noch, ist ausgeglichen und macht Spaß, ist aber nur eine kleine Karte (die Ausbildungskarte).

Habe danach alle meine Hoffnungen auf das Turnier gesetzt, bis jetzt trauriger weise keine Aktion. Mein Gegner hat auf der einen Karte am ersten Tag nichts gemacht und am zweiten Tag nicht über die Aufstellungsphase hinaus gekommen. Und auf der zweiten Karte hat er bis jetzt gar nichts gemacht, so dass ich nicht mal meine Truppen besichtigen und aufstellen konnte. So macht das einfach keinen Spaß.

Frage mich wie das weiter gehen soll, wenn er erst am letzten Tage der Runde anfängt zu ziehen und wir dann nur wenige Züge schaffen ? Wie wirkt sich das auf die möglichen Punkte im Verhältnis zu normalen gespielten Partien anderer Gegner aus ?
