Even though there was a whole mouthfull of teething pains I stuck with my order. It finally arrived, and I'm a happy camper. Now I need to re-build my skills in the game (again!) before I head to Afrika to deal with those pesky Brits.

What I started doing was "T" to target the enemy, "C" to bring up the weapons list, and then the particular # of the machinegun that I want to fire. I got tired of pouring main gun rounds into infantry formations

<r>First I get the 5.01 CD + MC. Update that. Update again <E>:)</E> ...finally start playin last night. I log on today to find out that 6.0 is out.<br/>
<br/>
Slow down! <E>:)</E> I'm having a hard enough time finding time in my schedule for work and school with SPWaW, guys!<br/>
<br/>
<E>:)</E ...

I was told to download the 5.0 to 5.3 patch series. That seems to have fixed anything that went wrong.

<r>On the upper left portion of the forum screen there's an area that says something like ">> Hello, Latka [log out]".... yet, if I watch it from screen to screen sometimes it changes to ">> Hello, Sinner from the Prairy [log out]"<br/>
<br/>
Anybody else see that? <E>:)</E><br/>
<br/>
Latka<br ...

Assuming that would do the trick I did it.

I'll go grab the 5.2 and 5.3 updates now.

Thanks!

<r>Hey gang,<br/>
<br/>
Been quite a while since I was last on the boards. Ordered my CD and then thought, "Oh, I'll just wait till that shows up to get back into the game". Little did I know what an extended vacation that'd be! <E>:)</E><br/>
<br/>
Anyway - my CD arrived this morning and I plopped ...

Great AAR! I always love readin' em. I like your format, as well. Kinda neat to see a blow-by-blow account.

I'm going to have to agree with 1stSgt's post

No worries, Paul (and SP team). We'd rather have a good one than have one of the wheels fall off as we drove 'er off the lot!

I had what we called a "Twinkie Dog". You were safe from attack unless you had a twinkie strapped to your leg, and then your only danger was being licked for 30 minutes. <E ...

Back to work!

<r>Maj. Ed - nah, I was in the 'Corps when we only had MREs.

Thanks, WB. Now I'm going to be up late tonight....

I'm no expert, but I would guess that if there was a bug such as that, it was fixed. Have you considered upgrading to a more recent version of SPW@W?

Thanks for the updates, Paul. Even though it has been said before, it's great to see developers who actually exist and are reachable by us gamers

Andy

Denny,

I remember seeing that "disk 2" problem quite a ways back.

Which site are you attempting to download the program from?

-Andy

I managed to get my order through yesterday. Are you still having difficulties?
