This game is just way, way too basic.
My feelings exactly. It's not even a beer n pretzel level game, it's below that.

JonJonJon - I am guessing you are the Germans. If not, then what I'm saying is moot. Nobody in their right mind would cross that open ground just to let you "mow them down". You backed up, so you get what you get. A stalemate.
The scenario obviously wants both sides to be aggressive. I'm not saying the scenarios or game are perfect, they're absolutely not. The tournament scoring also has issues.
But, it's a war game, and you are expected to move forwards and do some war things. Not back up and hope the other player is a complete idiot to cross open ground to get to you.
You did this to yourself.
I think I will stick to the Field of Glory tournaments. I'm not great at that game, but the battles are so much more interesting.
This game is just way, way too basic. Maybe someday when a lot of stuff is added I'll play more. Until then, we have Lock 'n Load Tactical Digital with TONS and TONS of scenario and unit variety.
The scenario is elimination where, from the manual, "Attacker objective will be to eliminate or pin all
the defenders’ units". The allied side is the designated attacker. The axis units start out scattered whereas the allied units are grouped and have superior firepower. What would your strategy be as the axis - push piecemeal into a concentrated force or regroup and use the terrain to your advantage, general?

I am winning my tournament game as the Axis side. The Allies are almost eliminated. Maybe I got some lucky shots, I don't recall, but the odds didn't seem all that impossible as the Axis.
Both sides have the ability to stay in the buildings, General.

My game has stalled- no turns in about a week. Is it the game or my opponent?
And
Yes the game needs more weapons(arty, mortars, air strikes...and medics ...
I dont know why you would do this release and not put these tools in the box.

My game just ended with turns remaining and the tournament has disappeared from my Multiplayer screen. Was the tournament cancelled, opponent resigned, what?

OK. Thanks. I think something needs to be done about how slow players and no-shows are handled. Not an easy task, of course.
