the thing I would try at this stage is blanking the email-address and unchecking allow others to send me mail, just to see if it makes a difference...

I didn't have any problems connecting with a Zonealarm (firewall) /McAfee (virusscan) combo. But if connecting doesn't even work after switching them off, I doubt they are creating the problem. What kind of connection do you have and are you behind a router?

have you tried clicking 'ok' instead of 'Apply' like Oliver did in the end?

Could you attach your proposed avatar to a message, so people can see if something's wrong with it?

I asked him to mail it to me and uploaded it as my own.

<t> it wouldn't be my first choice, but as you can see, I've just uploaded Oliver's avatar succesfully. Must be some silly little detail.<br/>
<br/>
edit: all I did was click on 'upload my picture' (the link after 'my avatar'). Then I uploaded it and clicked 'ok' at the end of 'my profile' and I ...

just changed mine, uploading and clicking ok was enough to get the job done. I'm out of ideas.

have you tried another file, just to make sure the current one isn't corrupted somehow?

<r> do your settings look like this?<br/>

<t> I've been fiddling about with this for a bit and find that on normal settings (normal aggro and losses) the delay order works as I would expect. The unit does move back when it says so. Is the retreat path for the delaying unit clear when the message that it will be falling back appears? <br ...

try opening N_HiCamp.AAS in the scenario maker tool. Then select the Units tab and expand the axis by clicking on the +. Hope you find what you're looking for.

<t> Resupply in HTTR is indeed simplified. At 0300 hours units get fresh supply without having to worry about supply lines. This has never been a game-breaker for me. The other aspects of managing forces in this game are quite enough to keep me busy. In COTA you will have to worry about keeping ...

<t> I have been able to play Alexander the Great (the first in the series) through a router. If I remember correcty, I put my PC in the so called DMZ. This means that the router no longer stops any traffic to that computer. Most routers I know have this feature or something similar. Off course ...

I use Firefox too and don't really see anything going hideously wrong. What kind of problems are you experiencing?

Have you checked the logfile? (there is a directory called logs I think) It might contain some info on what's going on.

<r> yes there is, I don't think it's on the matrix site, but you should be able to find it <LINK link="http://www.strategyinformer.com/downloads/tinsoldiersalexanderthegreat.shtml"><s>[link=http://www.strategyinformer.com/downloads/tinsoldiersalexanderthegreat.shtml]</s><COLOR color="#0000CC"><s ...

when you select the hq do the subordinates change color? (that's a/b/c companies and the mortar unit) This shows they are attached. If they don't they will have to be reattached for the hq to control them.

I think it mentions it to differentiate from the historical plus campaign where the AI behaves differently. I am quite sure it's playable from both sides.

Hi Mark,

I've just tried both and had no trouble at all, maybe it was a temporary glitch. BTW I use stardownloader for all my downloads. Maybe that makes a difference.

I don't have the rules here at the moment, but if you post this in the TS Alexander forum, I'm sure someone can help you with this.
