RE: Exchanging battle files in PBEM games

<t> To Marshall and others --God job so far BUT are there actual plans for server based game play in future?&nbsp; As close to FTF play as possible is I think necessary to really get this game going in a realistic fashion.&nbsp; I echo the others above--current PBEM is just too slow and cumbersome ...

RE: Probe the idea of "Poor man's TCP/IP"

<t> At some point I would hope that Matrix would develop an EIA dedicated server allowing game play over internet--ie some type of thin client server set up allowing us to log in with software included in the game software and with a password enter the correct game--One could then have dedicated ...

RE: GAMING GROUP requires players

Gaz--How are you getting around delays related to bugs etc?&nbsp; Are you able to play PBEM without any major hangups?&nbsp; Also have you been to Bersheeba lately?&nbsp; The only thing you'll get there is blown up or kidnapped.

RE: How blockades work

<t> P.S. For those like me wanting to know more about life before the mast in the 1790-1815 RN consider reading Julian Stockwin's Kydd series--based on historical events told from an enlisted Tar who works himself from pressed seaman to an officer.&nbsp; Also Recommend Dudley Pope and his "Decision ...

RE: How blockades work

<t> The RN had a rotating schedule for ships of the line for refit when on blockade duty--ships returning from blockade generally came back with additional perishable stores for the fleet and routine mail and correspondence after refit. Water and food was picked up at either neutral ports in the med ...

Does anyone know if current software IE 1.01 upgrade of EIANW support dual monitor set-up. I have a dual monitor set-up with two dell monitors and was wondering if this would be an issue when loading the software?
