For fifteen hours only, for 12:00 CC Time on August 20th to 15:00 CC Time on August 21st, Gallipoli speed tournaments are up.
This is the dramatic conclusion to the 15 Days in Hell event. It's also a blatant way to give you an easy way to earn a few extra Great War Cannon tokens. Entry is only 2 silver stars, and the top four entrants win one or more Great War Cannon tokens. The winner also gets a Helmet and a Pistol.

That's 27 hours, right?

Yeah, I guess it is, lol.

[Dukasaur]

Well, I said I'd make a decision on the 12th, and the 12th is almost over, so I guess I'd best get to it.

World 2.1
Classic Cities: London
Germany
World War I Gallipoli
Battle for Iraq!
Italy
Rail Europe
Poison Rome
Land and Sea
4 Star Meats

show: justifications

These changes will take effect on August 26th, give or take a day or so for technical reasons. As before, the old list will continue dropping for 30 days afterward, to allow people to wrap up games that have already started.

Okay, so I've cleared all this with bigWham, and it's all set.

At the stroke of midnight CC Time, when August 26th begins, the new maps will start dropping tokens on game start.

The previous list will continue dropping tokens for game wins only for another 30 days after that.

Excellent.

Looking forward to the link of token-eligible games updating, its a very excellent tool for those of us trying to get our hands on a few extra tanks without blowing up our game count

Working on it. Last couple days been a bit hectic, and I need to learn to write links for the new Game Finder, but within 48 hours I promise I'll get it done.

That, and two new tournaments...

As for the second half of my promise, I will need an extension. Too much stuff has come up in R/L this week and I haven't written the new tourneys.

Since the post containing the list of maps is a bit messy, I just wanted to double check that these are the maps now dropping tokens:

Upcoming change August 26th:
World 2.1
Classic Cities: London
Germany
World War I Gallipoli
Battle for Iraq!
Italy
Rail Europe
Poison Rome
Land and Sea
4 Star Meats

Yes, this should be the list.

After a bit of a delay, we finally have the next two Great War tournaments ready to go. Both will launch tomorrow (Sept 6) at the usual time of 1500 and will be available for at least 10 days.

show: Hill 60 and Scimitar Hill sept 6 to 16

These are paired tournaments. Accordingly, there is a special General Achievement medal available if you place in the Top 5 in both. This kind of thing can't be tracked automatically, so PM me or post here in the thread when you become eligible for this special GA.

Something went wrong with the launch. PM sent to BW.

1 year in the books now and no fanfare? No celebration? 1/4 of the way done...keep up the good work!

Thank you morleyjoe!

Yeah, there's enough stuff happening now, another milestone to mark would be just something for the sake of something. I'm glad at least one person noticed, and I'll leave it at that. Hectic time for me, both in R/L and on CC.

nice work Dukasaur

It's not often said but it is definitely appreciated. I've played in nearly every tournament from the Great War and thoroughly enjoyed the experience, so I'm hoping that continues! My only issue is the repetition of maps, but the pros far outweigh the cons and getting more experience/practice never hurt.

Cheers Duk.

Thanks man!

Battle of Loos should be coming, so we're basically done with the Gallipoli campaign and back to the Western Front. This should change the map mix slightly...

[Tviorr]

Im enjoying it too, even if Im not active enough to get in every tourney - or rather scratch up enough cannons to join all of them.

Im having fun deciding which ones are setup best for my limited talents though.


When is the next one up...? Are we having peace for the olympics as per the ancient greek traditions or am I missing something, cause I havent seen any fresh tourneys for a couple of weeks?

Battle of Loos should have come out September 25th. I've just been extremely busy in R/L and something had to give. The Olympics gave me a convenient moment to take a breather, but they weren't originally the main reason.

I'll try to have Loos out by the end of the week.

[Tviorr]

Great. Looking forward to it

And we are back in action with a new tournament:

show: battle of loos

I have taken out the turns-taken requirement. It was not particularly popular, but more importantly it wasn't really a great success in terms of avoiding deadbeats in the tourneys. I think I might use it again but only in tourneys that have a predominance of Assassin games.
