How are we to submit replays for verification for wins? Do we go into our replay folder of company of heroes, pull the file out onto the desktop, and then add an attachment to a post verifying the win? Or could someone show us the proper format to submit victories for verification. Thanks for a prompt notice.

This is the correct procedure. Thank you for asking though. I will add a "How To" to that rule.

EDIT: I hope my edit to the post has clarified the issue.

Given Leningrad's reputation (bridge :P) will we still have to fight over that map or is there an alternative to it ???? I don't mind playing on it but I was just wondering

EDIT: I just saw that many capital maps have 2 maps associated with it. Does this mean you will have to fight on both maps in order to win or can you just choose either or ?

I could make an alternative version with undestructiable bridges if needed.

I could also do that, but I don't think a special "tourney patch" is needed. Either we will chose another map or people will have to live with it.

This is correct. Since these maps are best of 5, You'll play one match on one, one match on the other, so on and so forth.

As for Leningrad, likely, I might make a map change to it for that reason you listed, but I figured that if it was a Capital it should at least have it's own map. Plus it may give some the less experienced players in the tourney a bit of detene or relaxation.

Hey do we know where the other team's members are located and vice versa or is that a tippy toppy secret? :P

You will know after Round 1. In this round, players will pick their sectors to attack, and then the Allies will pick who defends. From there, your positions are set. You won't be doing much moving around unless you're advancing on the enemy or requesting transfers.

BTW you said one Axis condition of victory was: "Fully Repel the D-Day invasion". Something along those lines. When D-Day kicks off exactly how much territory are they being granted extra or must they fight for every plot of land to take it ????

In the rules, it says this:

QuotePush back the Allied Invasion of Normandy and hold at least 80% of former (1939) German territory

In this instance, if both D-Day Invasions (Sector 1 and 2, stacked in favor of the attacker) fail, and Germany retains 80% of it's original 36 territories, the tourney can be called into a victory for the Axis. (This is actually realistic, as Stalin had been considering a treaty with Hitler leading up to and even on the days of D-Day.)

If D-Day is successful, players will retain sectors 1 and/or 2.

Will the sublime crew be making shoutcast for the truly epic, pivotal battles of the tournament? Also, since only 5 sectors can be attacked, what about the axis and Soviet players who can't partake in the attack, will their positions be unmarked until they begin fighting?

It would be cool if there was a weekly shout cast to highlight nice things that happened :D

There is :D. Crani and I will do a weekly shoutcast on Sundays which will hightlight awesome points of some games. Some Sublime casts may also contain the better games from the tourney.

I did not know that :P Thx for the heads up :)

When you are talking about attack and defending that makes me confused.

You play VP I get that straight ( Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!! </3)

But you are talking about attacking player and defending player and yeah.. Does that mean that when the match begin the defedning one will have all the VP checkpoints and its up for the attacking one to take them? Or is it a pure VP match where nobody have the VP points from start and its just like a normal VP match? :S

Edit: And ME myself am the one to decide where to attack and defend? I thought that was the commanders job! Iam just following orders! I cant decide for myself!?

Well you definitely have a say, you shouldn't just be bullied by a faction leader, however if he makes suggestions those should be taken to light.

Depends if you are under the brutal oppressive tyrannical dictatorship of Snugz, or the gentle, democratic system under my guidance :P.

I kind of like being bullied around . I dont have to think then and can blaim him if we lose <3

Thanks for clearing everything upp guys! :D

..And Snugz rules! <3

Note to self, defend against Sommerkatze's attack and attack him next round.

I don't think the Soviets were "gentle" or "kind" XD

*Fish gets sent to Gulag

Nonsense, glorious Soviet Union very kind.

Soviets just want peace and freedom :P, its the fascist's that bring war and oppression to our lands.

*after 10 years in gulag Fish escapes*

LIESSS! SOVIETS SHOULD NEVER BE ASSOCIATED WITH PEACE! DIE COMMIE!

Fish is arrested by SMERSH agents and tried for stupidity and making up subversive lies about the Glorious Proletariat, quick sentencing of death by SNU SNU

Ok mates, we're a bit off topic :P

You're right. Back on topic guys :P

You guys <3

Is it okey to shoot medics? Or are we playing according to the geneve laws ? XD

Gentleness is the first sign of weakness Dennis ;D

QFT my loyal soldier  8)

players attack to a #xx, should we know which #xx they attack from?

Well, fog of war is a tricky thing to deal with, ay?

aye, but starting position of players must be registered right? if GLD defend #39, he must attack from #39 too?

That's correct. In the beginning, nothing is known to the enemy. But after the first battles, you'll know who's where. It will be shown by the first map update on Sunday.

thanks for answers ;D

You're always welcome to ask!

I don't understand if are the Commanders that will decide the players which will play a match or the players can offer themself to play.

For example:

Option 1:

I'm the Commander and I want attack the sectors X and Y; and I say: "Players 1 and 2 will play this game"

Option2:

I'm the Commander and I want attack the sectors X and Y; and I say "Who wants play the matches for sectors X and Y?"

Not sure if my question is clear  :P :P

That's up to the Supreme Commander of each faction :P

Option 2 sounds like Allies.

And Option 1 would be Axis? ;D

What if you post an attack but no one responds from the opposing faction?

You have a reply in your attack, however it would be a conditional victory unless something is worked out.

You win be default :P. The best way to win anything :D

Can you explain the new stacked sector rule you posted :P?

What's to explain? All games except specially marked ones will be played best of 3. (Excluding this round unless players agree otherwise.)

"All games, unless otherwise specified, will be played best of 3, with 2/3 wins needed to win a territory. In stacked sectors, you will need to win 3/3 (1/3 for D-Day) for victory as an attacker."

Im not sure what a stacked sector is (im assuming its a map with more than 1 map) but it says you must win all 3 games. So what happens if you lose one game ???? And for D-Day winnng 1/3 games seems slightly unfair. This means at any point during the 3 games if the Allies manage to pull off just one win, they get the whole territory (IDK if this applies to Axis too).

Stacked sectors are described in the rules. If you had questions about them you should have asked earlier :P

Stacked sectors are located on the map near capitals and on the D-Day landings. In Stacked sectors, the attackers must win all 3 of the games. This gives the defender the advantage and time to get some more games in.

The only exception to Stacked Games is the position 1 and 2, where the Defenders must win all 3 of their games in each of those sectors to repel the invasion, meaning allied attackers only have to win 1/3 of the games.

It's completely fair. If you beat back D-Day you win the game.

TBH it's a little confusing reading the rules. It's a very long list with no bolded words or anything distinct so you're never sure if what you're looking for is there or not.

New rule is added and I don't know which is new.

The last rule on the list is generally the newest one AFAIK

Just make sure you re-read the last 5. If you're familiar on the basics of the tourney they shouldn't be hard to comprehend IMHO because I talk to several people and they say it's long but down to the point overall.

Stacked sectors have their own rule
