well, if you are giving options i vote for number 2. what isnt filled by say sunday gets cancelled.
number 1 will never fly. someone who doesnt read the forum will always join and get another going.

three sounds like a pain and possibility of a pain in your posterior.

I wouldn't mind having 4 Barbarossa medals to everyone else's zero though, so option 3 sounds good!

Lol, I'm sure a bunch of people will have medals once the Total War tournament first round is complete, so whatever works best. I like the idea of knowing when unfilled games will be cut off.

I vote to delete the unfilled games, wait for all current to complete, and then make the changes. Cleaner that way, IMO.

+1, I started a 7 player and 6 joined and I can't even remember the password.

The Red Army beat the Germans... (some 80% of Wehrmacht losses were caused by the Red Army; the allies only made it just in time to claim the western part of Europe and Germany for capitalism. 25k Dutchmen died during the Hunger Winter of 44-45 coz conquering West Germany was prioritized over liberating Holland)
So why is the ribbon part of the UDO medal the Reichsflag!? It's an insult to the two dozen million casualties suffered by the Soviets. A red flag is more appropriate.

Barbarossa was doomed to fail anyway. There were German Generals who knew this. Logistically impossible. There is no scenario where they wouldn't run out of fuel long before they'd reach Baku oil fields.

A British Isles styled Stalingrad city command would be nice :)
I know that offensive wasn't part of Barbarossa but neither was the invasion of Norway
If only coz defeating Stalin (and communism) was the reason why Germany was supported by American banks and industries to wage war. (Dresden was carpet bombed (a warcrime) while American owned industries in the Ruhrgebiet (e.g. Ford) were spared. End result; America became the world's new hegemon.)

=

I'd prefer the territory names in Norway to be "Oslo, Bergen, Stavanger" corresponding with the 3 biggest urban areas of the country located in those 3 territories. East, West and South Norway seems so generic

The tank battle of Kursk is one of the most (in)famous of WW2. Although it didn't happen during Barbarossa, it would be interesting to name the territory it's located in after the battlefield. There is actually an oblast (province) named Kursk, although during the war it was part of the Oryol oblast. (I would prefer the region Oryol to be renamed Kursk)

Currently there is only 1 game still in play. The final round of a Tournament.

https://www.majorcommand.com/games/494863/

As soon as it finishes, I will make the changes and update the map to the final version.

That's all for now!

A nearly stalemated gross escalite game, lol That game is the poster child for why escalite sucks.

Made me wonder - in the new game engine, can we have the "-1 rule" coded in as a button that everyone in the game would have to push to make it go into effect?

Why don't you just use the -1 rule? You don't need a side game.

I voted for the -1.

Yeah, I see that Jeff.
No problem Risky and Micky, everyone else will wait for a few more weeks/months to be able to play that map. By all means take your sweet time. :frown::frown::frown::frown::frown:
