Thx. I haven't tried the uninstall/registry cleanup routine. The helpdesk fellow is not being very helpful.

<r> I am trying to run this in both Windows Vista and Windows 7. (32 bit). I get the following error:<br/>
<br/>
Invalid/Missing Serial Number!<br/>
There is an error with your serial number.<br/>

<t> I have been trying to install 1.08.04 or 1.08.07 Beta on both of my machines (Windows Vista and Windows 7) and get this error 200 which suggests it is my serial number. The helpdesk assures me it is a registry problem and that I need to install as the admin and run as the admin. I'm also running ...

<t> What about sending a pre-determined array of die rolls at the time the attacker picks his chit? Have the battle pre-destined which would eliminate the fear of someone reloading files and re-rolling dice. It would need to be a bit more complex and involve some algorithm for masking the die rolls ...

<t> In the spirit of not hijacking threads, it's not just bugs that make this game not playable, it's the design restrictions that creep in. For example. allied depots and depot limits. These cannot be implemented because of restrictions with the code.<br/>
These aren't rules that were adopted ...

Seems more like someone's hobby than a developing product.&nbsp;

just curious, how many games have you finished pzgndr?

the new 6 allows for bypassing corps. I have the dutch defending amsterdam at the start of the game and the brits land, bypass the dutch corps, siege the town and take out my fleet (i have it in amsterdam).&nbsp; but actually, the fleet just moves to the next ...

looking forward to it. am working strictly on solo games as the pace for multi is too slow for me and i enjoy shellacking the ai.

fine. the log data is crap and cannot be used for analysis. a die roll may be reported where no roll is made or it may be modified or unmodified. makes sense. one more place to avoid.

so, can anyone say definitively whether this game can roll dice fairly?

<t> ted,<br/>
so the combat reports the modified die roll, not some funky 0-7 1d8? it is purely the reporting of a modded die roll. the original roll is 1d6 based. but you suggest the forage could have an unmodified 0 die roll? the numbers i pulled from the log are unmodified. why would there be a ...

<t> that must be when the die falls off the table. i always roll into box lids to prevent that from happening. <br/>
<br/>
0-6 is technically 1d7.&nbsp;i have seen 0-7 for combat. that would be 1d8. the rules make no mention of these varied dice substitutions.<br/>
<br/>
i am sure there is an ...

there is obviously no math involved here.

<t> Reviewing combat rolls would be problematic since you have to check and record each one. But if you parse through the game log, you can search each line for a forage roll. I have looked at three different games as well as two faked games and it looks like you will get a 1 twice as likely as any ...

<t> open your logfile. parse for "roll". find all the numbers rolled for. <br/>

one in 216. but not impossible.

try posting all the results from a game.

<r> more gooder gui?<br/>

Graphical User Interface. It's the thing with all the buttons and colours on your screen. It's got nothing to do with the game other than to allow you to interact with the computer programming. <br/>

Matrix will do whatever they choose to, I'm not an idiot ...
