It's correct.

Yup. Fallujah is a freemium-exemption tournament.

Not an issue...:)

I feel better now...I didnā€™t see the exemption and not seeing the Premium in the coding was concerning me.
Sorry for the false alarm :mrgreen:

Most of my GW tourney are now winding down. Some of the really old slow ones are finishing, as are many of the newer faster ones.

What should I expect from GR team moving forward?? Are there still more tourney's to come or are we just waiting for all to finish?

I'm about 100 tourneys behind. Don't know if we'll extend the deadline and try to run them all or just cut it short so it finishes this year.

I just couldn't keep up with this in addition to everything else I have to do on this site.

What I'm thinking now is to finish out with a pile of really small tourneys leading up to the great anniversary of Nov. 11th. Like everything else, though, it all depends on how much CC time I come up with.

---------AS FOR THE "DEADLINE!!!"...HOW ABOUT JUNE 28th, 2019?....You could have a BIG NOV.11th Party ...YES!!!
---------But THE GREAT WAR could be kept going....To Start to finish in REALITY....WWI started on June 28, 1914 and ended on June 28, 1919...
-----On June 28th 1919, Germany reluctantly signed the Treaty of Versailles as part of The Paris Peace Conference in The Hall of Mirrors at the Paris of Versailles-----Exactly 5 years to the day of The Assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand,THE SPARK THAT HAD IGNITED THE FIRST WORLD WAR!!!!...That could give 7 and a 1/2-ish months past Nov.11th...think about it... :D ... O:) ConfederateSS.out!(The Blue and Silver Rebellion)... O:)

Now, the above is not a complete list. I've copied it mainly from firstworldwar dot com, which is a very Anglocentric site and doesn't do a very good job of covering the Russian and Balkan fronts. I'll have to go to some other sites to fill in some of the missing Russian and Balkan battles. We also have gigi_b's Romanian campaign, plus I was going to write some tourneys based on technologies (like the tank and the submarine). We also somewhere along the way missed the conclusion of the Kamerun campaing and a few other things. So, all in all, we have something between 50 and 60 tournaments to go.

You guy(s) seem a bit swamped. Understandable with the workload youve put in and the workload still ahead.


If you are taking opinions about the best way forward all things considered, my two cents would be that Id much prefer a complete event however belated than a rushed finish excluding a number of battles and ideas youd ideally have wanted in there.

An option would be to simply push the end date a year forward and finish November 2019 instead. Im sure everyone will participate in a chemical warfare induced mass illusion that 2019 is 2018 or for that matter 1918.

After all, WW2 is about 6 years, which I assume will be your next small project ;-)


Edit: Post ww1 is an option too. - Im sure Trumph will be getting around to blaming Obama for WW1 at some point :roll:
