Matrix Games

We’re thrilled to announce that sign-ups for the Combat Mission Cold War Community Tournament are officially open. The tournament will feature three brand-new scenarios created by UsuallyHapless, based on your votes on our Discord. This is your chance to showcase your tactical skills on maps crafted by the community for the community.

Round 1 | Lattichdorf - US and Soviet forces clash over village.

Round 2 | Moppin Up Rotchstadt - A Soviet Category C formation mops up isolated US straggler.

Round 3 | Fuel Hike - US mechanized infantry attacks Soviet refuleing point in the woods.

Before joining the tournament, please take a moment and carefully read these instructions that are specific to all Combat Mission Tournaments:

• Please do not sign up for this tournament if you are not sure that you will be able to play all of the battles.
• Because of the way that Combat Mission’s original “play by email” system works, both game files have an in-game field for password protection of the file. This field should be left blank. For the US side the password has been selected before the battles were sent and that field is to be left blank. You can use a password for the Soviet side but it isn’t needed because the Tournament feature handles protection from cheating without using the in game system.
• The Tournament will have you playing 2 individual battles where you are playing both sides of the same battle. If you get into the game before your opponent, you will see 1 game turn to play. If your opponent has gotten there first then you will see 2 turn files and each turn thereafter should have 2 files.
• Once a tournament begins you will receive the files in the "Saved Game and PBEM"; drop menu under Automated PBEM++ In Progress. You will receive email notifications when your opponent has sent you turns. 
• You will need a Matrix user name and password to play any tournament (or PBEM++ battle). If you don't have one already you can get one here.

Please remember, DO NOT ABANDON OR SURRENDER during a round, as this will render the scoring inaccurate. We are aware of the scoreboard bug and are actively working on a fix. We appreciate your patience and support as we resolve this issue.

Whether you're a seasoned veteran or a new player, this tournament is the perfect opportunity to face off against others in the community and experience new battlefield scenarios.

We can’t wait to see how you navigate these community-made maps. Head over to our Tournament Page to sign up now.
