<t>Sorry; I've been away from the computer for a few weeks.<br/>
I'd have to write the ladder display in Access (it generates an html version of the database fairly easily). I picture a week or so from now .. my VBA's fairly rusty ... tho' the pseudocode version's nearly complete. (The VBA's needed ...

<t>I'm away from all my reference books at the moment, and haven't yet had a go at building a web-site, have thougth that this would be the best way to handle the ladder. <br/>
Thanks, Firestorm, I'll be talking to you about this .. I know that it'll take a lot of time to set up and maintain, but I ...

If this does get going .. to avoid cluttering the forum, I think the details would be handled by email, with the ladder positions only going onto the forum every week or so.

<t>I've been talking to Firestorm about this, and he and I have played a few games with rookie teams. We've worked out a set of rules. If we can find some other players, it might be worth starting up formally ... any takers?<br/>

Firestorm: I probably missed that encounter, but I'll be watching out on the ICQ connection. I'd really like our newby team league to get moving. What's happened to Karacan?

<t>If you're on european time, it may be easier to synchronise with me than across the Altantic. I'm a relative beginner, too. I'll be happy to help you get used to net-play. My ICQ number is 126242132. I like playing team games .. most ICQ battles seem to be solo matches, probably because team ...

Trouble is, Hetzer is the only vet I've encountered as an opponent very often. Can't safely make a comparison.

<t>A minor change that seems reasonable to me, but probably difficult to implement: when there is a deeply depressed land area right next to a river, if there's an explosive hit in the water hex, the water could overflow into the land hex, converting it (over time) first to swamp, then to, say, a ...

<t>I'm restricted; as my leader was wiped out in the first battle, all of Madam Axe's "other" skills have to go towards her leadership.<br/>
.. and the other is just trying as hard as possible to get good with Guided Missiles. I could just afford to upgrade one titan to Light, so the CC's improved ...

I feel like I shouild rush out and get broad-band! Oh, well, summer's just around the corner.

<t>Newly-created teams of Firestorm and I went down ignominiously yesterday to two Inferior AI teams. We clustered round a War God, hammering away at its adamantine armour ... (the WG caught my first attacker .. a Fate's Finger, with Auto 4 and 7 .. a couple of times with a pulse laser, so I moved ...

Thanks for the explanation, Thorgrim. I have a lot of deleting to do. The landscape's littered with the debris of my design efforts.

Thanks, Firestorm. I'd missed that button. I suppose it seemed odd to delete an object from within itself, so I didn't think of it. Doh! I plead stupidity, my lords.

"HD", that should have been, not "DD"

I have a desgn that I want to remove. Although its file no longer exists in the Recon folder (or anywhere on the DD, as far as I can tell), it still appears in the factory list. How can I remove it completely, please?

Thanks; I'll have a look at my saved teams. I have an innocent team all ready, but there's hardly ever anyone on-line at the same time as me ... at least, according to the ICQ display.

Let's see these formulas, then.

I think you've just hit the summer recess. Story's good, a bit depressing.

Thanks, Iceman. It'll be more useful when I'm more competent, but I'm glad to know about it.

Making my lists from the factory data: in the Scanner table, what does the "VH" column refer to, please? (As the scanner improves from 1-6, VH goes 9,8,7,10,12,11.)
