It's completely over-stated - there is no issue in any tournament that reasonable people won't navigate through without a problem. Don't ever let something like this put you off!

I'm more interested to see if Tuomo played Bingo. How did we do!?

This is exactly what the case-insensitive match does.

Ok - I've updated it to now search on the scenario ID (ie, AP52) which matches as a case-insenstive, match removing all spaces from the search (to hit AP 52, ap52, etc) and title, then if this fails, just the title- so this might catch a few of them. I know that the archive and roar don't always...

The importer will show you rows that have failed (for the reasons mentioned above) - but you can edit the source file and re-upload without worrying about duplicates so in theory, it's straightforward to find the issues and correct them. If there are common errors that are easy to spot on the...

Thanks - that's helped. Please retry, and let me know. I found the problem. The scenarios that can't be imported are because either the side can't be found (I do a substring match, but there are definitely differences) and the scenario titles sometimes don't match (for example 'Totsugeki...

Can you send me your data in a text file and I'll see what's going on. If you can preserve the copy/paste text (so ideally don't put it into word,excel - just the plain text in an attachment would be great) - cheers.

My other guinea-pig for this put it into a spreadsheet that automatically converted it (format column options I'd think in excel), but I've added an untested function to allow you to select your date format. You'll still need the data to be tab delimited with the rows as described otherwise...

Yeah - I'd imagine so. I don't think there's a report that will export it all (and it's not mine to export) but technically it obviously can be done. It's a little tricky in the details. Some scenario titles don't match, scenario versioning is next to impossible and some players have multiple...

Are you sure about this? I think this only applies to Vehicles/Cavalry (because horses are famously unphased by fire, apparently). B25.4 "Infantry in terrain blazes must leave by the end of the next RtPh or be eliminated".

I'm pretty sure we got the flames correctly going. There were a whole bunch started by leaders and a couple from wp grenades, then it seemed fairly easy for them to turn into blazes, essentially needing a DR of 5+ on each advancing fire phase following the initial placement turn. I'll leave...

After too many requests from players, I've now added a way for you to import your playings from ROAR into the archive. The instructions can be found at the bottom of your My Page, but essentially requires you to copy and paste your playing records from your account page in ROAR into a...

Ha - it really is only as good as the efforts of the community - and it's one of many great resources around. I'm grateful for everyone's support and only through their efforts does the site become truly useful.

Codifying Andrea Fantozzi's Play By Self (https://www.facebook.com/groups/358520268920548/permalink/1078447893594445) probably would be the best chance at getting something that would play a reasonable game. It would be a big task, but something like this I think is better suited than the...

No problems, Gary - I understand where you're coming from. It's derived a small new feature and if you do spot scenarios that look way out, it's good that people know they can get in touch and I'll update it.

What I've done is added an extra field for players to add the time it took them to play the scenario as part of the reporting process. I know it's not perfect, but perhaps it's another data point to be used.

The time to play data has sat there for nearly 12 years without anyone really complaining. Anyway - if anyone has better estimations for any given scenarios, I'll update the db to reflect it and these updated scenarios won't use the formula.

This is Marc Blume's data, the nice chap that runs the alpenfestung tournaments (gatherings) in Switzerland. Anyway - if anyone does see any scenario timings that look out based out their playings I'd be happy to override the formula for a manual estimation - let's say based on "average playing...

Just to be clear - no tournament organiser that I'm aware of is going solely by the archive's estimate. It might be used as a filter but never as a deciding point.

Yeah - look I agree that it's not perfect and that people should consider there to be an assumed fudge factor to make it work. It gets a bit messy on the UI if I start displaying "+/- 1.5 hours" or whatnot, when I assume most people know these times are literally (as written!) estimates, rather...
