ROUND #1 match ups

my opponent has set up the DB and placed a turn 002 in it, but its waiting for the German side password? (i'm Russkies for this one).

No turn 002 is the file I placed and it is for the German player, when he is completed, your file will be 003 or maybe something even higher if he saved and did the set up in stages.

Your password is the same it has been from previous tournaments. I will send it to youi again just in case
 
The file size @Animander25 are generating are 78Mb each. Those are some big files. I'll check my records to see how it stacks up for size for PBEM files.
So far the biggest I have seen is in the 80's MG , so I doubt they will get much bigger. It likely will stay there or decrease as the game progresses.

I now have a third player that is having issues.

I do not recall what the tricks are as to what setting's need adjusted.

But It sure cannot be maxing out the machines.

I run these games on the oldest computer in my house. 11 years old.

12 gb duel channel ram, a 1GB graphics card with a good processer for its day. but nothing like what most would be running now.


I run this battle, smooth as silk. The only thing I notice is load times can be a little long depending on how it was saved.
 
out of the 12 battles, only 5 are rollin and verified that those 10 players can handle the game file size


If you are the one holding up play, lets get movin. I see plenty of German players waiting on the Russians for their set up turn to be completed.
 
well, after all sorts of issues. I can finially anounce we have all matches running and everything is now in motion as to round 1
We have 10 matches and 20 players.
we might pick up a few players when we get to round 2 that had issues with this battle.
A couple never did get it to run. Some decided it was too much for the time they have.

My bad, I did break my own goal as to keeping these managable and short in time frame so as to make these Tournaments flow at a good pace.

Other than for set up, I find scenarios this size is nothing more than like playing two small scenarios at the same time, For those that are playing, I hope you are enjoying the challenge or benefit that a wide front battle can give you as you play this battle.

With the holidays and such, I figure we likely will lose other players for periods of time, But I will for now set a "Must Finish date" for the 8th of Feb.

But this is not set in stone. We will see how the group as a whole does as to keeping with a good turn rate.
In the past I have set the finish date and penalty date with how the group is going. Catching a majority with a date they can do and only needing to give penalties to players that really are not holding to the turn rate standards at all.

It's all good in my opinion. (y)

Setting up takes some time and involves some "work", but actually playing it goes quite smooth. It's almost like a couple of micro-battles going on at the same time on this big map.

Ah no worries. Variety is nice. I am having a blast. We'll see how long that lasts.
