<t> Hmm, sorry for misunderstanding your reply/question. As host, I invited my opponent to play while we were both in the lobby. Is this what you mean? Otherwise, I'm uncertain how you are differentiating between "transferring data directly" and "via the server." I was under the impression that ...

<t> Ok, let me restate the COMPLAINT....because that is what this post is all about, a complaint about how opponents get connected to each other (or, to be more specific, do not get connected). What I implied, but failed to say explicitly, is that 3 times in 2 weeks the non-connection or slow data ...

<t> It has happened again tonight while trying to connect with player Hetser to play GtC! We're both in the lobby (usually I have to arrive first as I always host!). I initiate the host process and either one of two events occur (neither one of them are good); either I hear (the game saying) that we ...

Well, it has been most notable with the Churchill tanks. I've seen other Allied tanks models (shermans) backup properly....but I hesitate to make an emphatic statement here. I'll pay more attention and report back.

<t> Steve.....my experience (which Steiner is trying to convey here) is that if, for instance, a Churchill takes fire when looking over a hedgerow, and is given a Sneak order to (hopefully) backup a very short distance, it instead turns (presenting its vulnerable rear to the enemy AT fire) to drive ...

Steve...speaking for both Hetser and I, we would be pleased to help debug GtC using the executable you referenced.

<t> Steve.....I was hosting and I have a fairly high-speed cable connection. This is the same problem as Hetser and I have experienced, and that I have explained in another thread. <br/>
<br/>
Some thoughts:<br/>
1) Is GtC game hosted on a common server with other games? If so, Is there a way of ...

Steve, in answer to your question: We did not use the Lobby chat capability since I have a Team Speak account. Our communication was via a separate program. I'm not sure about Steiner, but I do not have a Steam account for GtC. At any rate, we were not trying to connect through Steam.

Yes (PipfromSlitherine), we have the appropriate ports on. Ho else would we been able to play prior to the incidents we are commenting on. The problem is in the game system and NOT with the players!

Seve....just an FYI this same condition existed ("Connecting to Opponent..." but your opponent never gets the invitation) the one evening when Hetser and I wee tying to connect (my GRRRRRR post) the other evening.

<t> This game can be VERY ANNOYING when you cannot connect through the lobby with your (potential) opponent. Matrix..... you MUST DO SOMETHING about the lobby connection. Tonight (7/29/15) Hetser and I tried repeatedly to connect in the lobby. Either I could not see him, when he was showing being ...

<t> Re: Air Strikes Not Impacting Targeted Vehicles<br/>
<br/>
Steve, you need to know that I just observed an air strike in GtC last night where the intended target (my Mrk IV tank)was very close to the map edge and the aircraft flew right over it and no ordinance was dropped or fired on the tank ...

<t> I have to admit that I have not been following this particular thread very closely to know whether the issue I'm about to describe has been brought to your attention yet. So, if this is a repeat, then apologies in advance.<br/>
<br/>
In earlier versions of close combat (up to, but I'm not sure ...

Hetzer,

I haven't seen that PanzerBiltz box top design in an age! Wow, that brings back memories...administering H2H play/moves using snail mail (between players in the US and Europe no less. Thank god CC came along!!

Steve,

Any chance you've been able to examine the game file to see the source of the error?

<t> After playing a H2H GC to the 12th day, Gen Jack and I have discovered some oddities of the mod. Hopefully Cathartes can explain why we are seeing these conditions. I'm going to start this list with a couple of examples and let Gen Jack chime in with others he has noted.<br/>
<br/>
Example #1 ...

Grognard,

Too bad you aren't logged on a little later in the evening than 10:00 PM. I'm on the west coast (and so is Steiner) and don't usually get to log on until 7:00 to 7:30 PST (10:00 to 10:30 your time). Have fun with your games.

Yes, I know of at least one other gamer that is somewhat new to the community that would like to get this mod. If not Matrix, can Mooxe's site upload it for gamer DL's?

Wow Steve. These guys don't much in this new version [X(] Anyway, good to see another project on the "drawing board." Let me know via email if I can help.

Thx particoromulus and Steamhammer for the additional conditions dealing with this apparent issue. Good quality control testing as well particoromulus!

Steve....hopefully this sheds more light on the apparent problem.
