The first round will commence on Wednesday, 29th June 2022 9:00am GMT.

Missions Description:
  • 17 July 1982. Soviet armored elements lead the exploitation of their unit's breakthrough. US CAV units seek to interdict them
    US Rangers try to take a bridge away from Soviet Recon
Players will need to average 1.5 turns a day to complete each Round in the allowed time. This is faster than normal as it is a Beta test tournament.

Password protection is built into the PBEM files but this feature isn't needed for tournaments so we advise you to leave all password fields blank.

There will be 2 Rounds with 10 days for each round:
  • First round’s goal is capturing a bridge
    Second round is evacuation through a small village.
The update for the Tournament on steam is already available or you can download it

Are you ready for the battle?
You have time to join till Wednesday, 29th June 2022 9:00am GMT.

I am also having difficulty playing the tournament on Steam, v 1.05.

I logged in and saw the game file in my active games. I joined, and saw the Soviet flag and set a password. The game file then disappeared from my active games, and I have not seen it since.

It could be that it's just waiting for my opponent to do a turn. But when I tried this before on a random PBEM multiplayer game, the active game remained visible even when I was waiting for my opponent.

UPDATE: The file is now visible, but says "Please do not touch." I assume that it is being handled by the admins. Thanks!
