Headquarters: World War II - First Tournament Ever

[sofia12]

Attention, Commanders!

We are excited to announce the launch of a new patch for Headquarters: World War II, which adds new features to the PBEM system and multiplayer. This update allows us to host a beta test for the very first Headquarters: World War II Tournament!

Do not miss the chance to sign-up to the Beta Speed Tournament which will feature 3 multiplayer maps:

#1 Riverside Battle

#2 Cannonade at Royal Chateau

#3 Military Base Takeover

You can sign-up here.

The tournament follows Swiss Tournament rules: you can find the full list of rules here.

The first round will commence on Thursday, 4th July 2024. No further entries can be accepted after the tournament has begun.

The tournament will last 3 rounds, 7 days each. Games are paired, so each matchup will be played both ways. All you need to do is sign up, then the system will pair you with opponents and create your PBEM games. You will be notified by mail of when the tournament is starting and when it will be time to play your turns.


And now, a message from the devs.

Hello! It is Oleksandr from Starni Games.

First of all, I am sorry for the issues many players have with the 1.00.06 Update. We just released a 1.00.07 Update that should address all key problems - please make sure you are playing the most up-to-date version of the game. We will keep polishing the game and making sure it runs smoothly for everyone. 

Secondly, we are starting to run regular tournaments for Headquarters: World War II. We did a number of internal tournaments for testing, and we found a few issues that were fixed with the 1.00.07 Update. So, we think it is time to start running the public tournaments. However, we would still treat the first couple of tournaments as Beta-tournaments to make sure everything works well for a larger number of players. 
We are really excited to see Headquarters: World War II played more competitively, and looking forward to making more and more tournaments in due time.

If you have any questions about tournaments in Headquarters - do not hesitate to ask them in the comments below or at Slitherine forums and Steam Community hub. 


Looking forward to hearing your feedback!

I am crashing in my tournament game UK side, can't get past my opponents turn. Crashes at the exact same point.

Below my last and 3rd attempt at getting past this turn, which was sent via the debug window. (I have tried verifying game files, didn't work). Please help. If you need more info let me know.
