Hi all,

I got some feedback that there may be a little confusion as to the scenario to be played in Round 2: The SCWW2 Patton Drives East Module.

For the avoidance of any doubt:
It is the Stalin Drives West Scenario that we are playing in Round 2.

I realise that there is a Patton Drives East scenario within the SCWW2 Patton Drives East Module, but I swear the developer only put that in to sow confusion in the ranks. ;) Seriously though, I can get why there might have been some confusion from the Round title description. I hope that clears things up.

PM me or post here if anyone has feedback on any issues with the competition.

I hope y'all enjoying yourselves. <:-)

The short answer is that the second one in the list plays the whole world global map.

The first one on the list plays either the Atlantic / Med map (maybe over to the Persian Gulf, I don't recall), and then for the "Rising Sun" DLC has a Pacific map.

Dawn of Armageddon -- narrative AAR for Dawn of War: Soulstorm: Ultimate Apocalypse
Survive Harder! -- Two season narrative AAR, an Amazon Blood Bowl career.
PanzOrc Corpz Generals -- Fantasy Wars narrative AAR, half a combined campaign.
Khazâd du-bekâr! -- narrative dwarf AAR for LotR BfME2 RotWK campaign.
RobO Q Campaign Generator -- archived classic CMBB/CMAK tool!

I cannot quite say WHY I thought I had more time, but, well, yeah...

STARTED!

Sorry, gents.

Got my Round One (vs Shelldrake) started last night, too.

Kicked a reasonable amount of Soviet butt on the first turn.

Remembered just how much I hate the UI and map of first generation SC. (Seriously? If I have to de-select a unit for any reason after moving I can't attack with it afterward? SERIOUSLY?!?!!?111!?!11111)

Trembled at the sight of umpty Mechanized Corps (which in Soviet propaganda-speak means tank corps not mechanized infantry) activating between turns.

I had that EXACT same reaction when I hit "End Turn".

I may have to rethink when/how to work my plan...

If somebody gets a chance, could you please explain to me how in the world I'm supposed to get across the Channel. I suppose I could just walk across by stepping from deck to deck of the combined U.S. and Royal Navies, although I somehow doubt that they would willingly participate in the exercise.  :crazy2:

@JasonPratt do you want to play each round seperately? If not, feel free to email me the game for round 2.

@Nelmsm I have Turn 1 ready for the Round 3 game. Please PM me your email address.

@Ethel_the_Frog I am still waiting for your turn so we can start the game for Round 1.

Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately, that was my poor attempt at facetiousness.

It sounds like things are moving along now. I hope you're enjoying yourselves. Any screenies anyone? :hug:

Iudi1867 (Doug) and I have finished our match in Round 3. It was a well fought game but I scored a major victory as the Allies. :)

1944-45 Philippines (Pacific Theatre) - not a very balanced scenario based on our game
