<t>OK, well I've thought of another thing I'd like to see, (since we're all just wishing for things). And, I must say, it is not a trivial thing.<br/>
<br/>
I would like to see the ability to pass in a set of parameters to SPWAW, which would then cause SPWAW to create a generated battle based on ...

<t>My fix list has only one item but it's a biggie...<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
In a PBEM game. After player two has deployed, but before player 1 has deployed. If player one enters an incorrect password a bunch of times, eventually the map will appear, and player 2's preplanned artillery will fall. This ...

Well those bad boys ARE some of my favorite russian units no doubt. However I have not seen quite the indestructibility that you mention.

Or perhaps it's because the maps generated by the Battle Generator for pacific battles are so "un-pacific" like?

Playing one now, and it looks nothing like a jungle...

<t>Found two bugs while playing an email game today.<br/>
<br/>
These both happened right at the start of the game. When starting my first turn as player 1, after deployment. I got a "Cannot allocate memory for VCR" message flashing across the top of my screen. Nothing else, (other than tray stuff ...

<t>Working while at work? Ick!<br/>
<br/>
O de B:<br/>
Well I'm not sure why I got flamed. I posted what I thought was a fairly innocuous remark, pointing out that Dale was on the SP Camo team, and that perhaps he should mention that when he told the poster that "there both good games, but I prefer ...

<t>So I'm trying to set up a game for PBEM, Pac 42, and I thought, "Hey I'm tired of meeting engagements, how about an advance/delay instead?"<br/>
<br/>
Set up defender with 1000 points and attacker with XXX points. Takes me to the buy screen and my Japanese forces have only 700 points to buy with ...

<t>WEll the person I was "arguing" with is Dale Height (sp?), who in response to a poster confusing SPWAW and SPWW2 explained the difference, then when the original poster asked for an opinion stated that he preferred SPWW2 and that it had "fewer bugs". I merely pointed out that perhaps Dale should ...

Yes the "Opponents" link at the top of the page has NEVER worked. I wonder if it ever will....

Get thyself to the Combat Command.

<t>Wow, I'm impressed. Congrats to Matrix for that one!<br/>
<br/>
I think it is great that two "minor" players in the PC gaming world could rack up this kind of success. I'm still waiting for BTS to get CM back in stock, but I've been playing the demo to death, and think it's a pretty cool system ...

Was merrily reading newsgroups this morning using deja, and all of a sudden - Poof.

Deja is being aquired by Google, and browsing is now history, (for a while anyway).

Now how am I going to post flames to the SPWW2 guy on games.war-historical...

Well the last time I played someone using it, I don't believe I ever saw any of the info in the email text. Of course perhaps I just wasn't looking for it...

Thanks, I'll give those a try

About the only comment I can give on this utility, (having only been on the receiving end of it), it that getting a file SPWAW.zip, isn't particularly informative. I want to know who it's coming from, what turn it includes, and which email slot it is using...

<t>So I recently got DSL, and decided I needed a firewall, so I got Zone Alarm. So I go to try and run the GameServer. I login, things appear to be going OK. However, I do get an alert that says someone just tried to ping me, but ZA blocked the ping, and has hidden my PC in stealth mode, so it can't ...

Whew, glad to see the boards are back up...

Also, if your force is broken, you will find that your units begin getting supression, even if not fired upon. (At least I noticed this in an earlier version...)

I agree with the crews vs. Infantry issue. The "Small Arms" fire from crews seems to be way too effective.

I had this same problem after doing all of the patches as well. I delelted, re-installed the complete44.exe and all was well. I think there is something whacked in the patches, so I would advixe going this route...

I've seen this pollbox "bug" as well. But I have also seen the same behavior if you fire a unit which has run out of "long-range shots" at a unit outside of it's range.

e.g 0:0:0:1 fires at a unit at range of 10.
