You're absolutely right.Seems like i forgot to update the paths to the new forums,when i created it.
Should be fixed now.

There is no Panzer Command Ostfront ladder. There is a Panzer Command ladder and the 3 games are vastly different. Unless you have some way to differentiate between them, or you are just supporting PCO and it doesn't have the correct heading yet, the ladder isn't functional yet.

Good Hunting.

Since PCO includes all previous games I would not have separate ladders or forums. If and when there is another game a change can be made then.

That's good for those that have PCO.

But there are many that have both PC:OWS and PC:K. If you play one of the previous battles in PC:K and someone else plays it in PC:O those are not the same games and I would expect the results to be different.

I would think if they are going to do a CMBN forum and ladder with how different it is from CMAK then PCO is at least that different from PCK.

Just my $.02 worth.

CMBO CMBB and CMAK are all under Combat Mission. Similar situation for Campaign series, Steel Panthers, etc.

I wouldn't worry about it.

The specific ladder for Panzer Command is a PCO ladder.

Renaming the ladder to 'Panzer Command:Ostfront' (or slightly different) it's quite an easy job. The idea behind 'Panzer Command' ladder was the ability to support older games from the series,if there was enough demand for it.Please correct me if i'm wrong,but my feeling was PCO is something like an improved version of the previous games,rather than a brand new engine.Pretty much like cmbb/cmak were an improved version of cmbo.Also,there's the possibility of a future game(s) in the PC family,Matrix might decide to release in the future and which might be added to the PC ladder.

I don't think that anyone interested in the old games wouldn't have this new one.

It's a semi-brand new engine. But as J2D says, if they are interested in the series they will have PCO.

You're probably right.It should now state 'Panzer Command:Ostfront' as the name of the ladder.
After all,if i'll need to add other games to the ladder,i can always rename it back :)

Next to the last paragraph in the manual text that I posted tells about Draw.

That you posted where? You only have 3 posts here and all of those pertain to the product you seem to be selling.

Spammers are really putting an effort to advertise in wargaming forum. They even talk about wargaming related things.

I remember years back when they talked about those matrix movies. Back then they propably thought this forum had somthing to do with them.

In another forum the admins actually found a working solution to spamming. They created a sub-forum called "marketing" where the spammers can freely post their advertisements.

Weirdest thing is it actually works. For very long time (years?) I havent seen single post on the other forums while the "marketing" forum keeps filling with spam.
