7th June 1940
French Turn

Before looking at the III corps Weygand needs to decide whether to attack the German bridgehead at St Quentin. It seems to early to fall back on the final line at this stage - and a successful attack would buy time. Weygand has the option of playing the De Gaulle card too.

Weygand decides yeah, what ze hell. 10PP played and he gives command of I Corps to De Gaulle.

7th June 1940
French Turn - 7th Army

This is the situation facing Weygand. The Germans over the river are not the strongest. However, if the remainder of 7th Army get sucked in here, then that is the last of their strategic reserve committed to the front line.

7th June 1940
French 7th Army

Unfortunately there are insufficient French units and armour units available. The High Command suggest a two stage attack - the first stage to get units into position and then make a spoiling attack or two to try and put the Germans off balance.

Artillery bombardments are mounted against a regiment of the 28th Infantry and air strikes launched against both stacks south of the river. General Falgade plays a Free Card to assist 8th Motorised make an infantry attack against the infantry previously shelled.

The attack succeeds and forces the enemy back. The French have no intention of crossing the river after them, but it is hoped this will unnerve the commander of the German unit and force him against proceeding south.

Oh dear....[:(]

Lord Gort got all excited at the thought of destroying the German units west of Lille.... and promptly got themselves candidates for encirclement...[:@]

Dumb, dumb, dumb.....

German Turn

And that is probably that.....[:(] The Germans break through on the Aisne, the French middle is pierced and the British are in all sorts of trouble.

DAMN!!!!!!!

[warspite1]

This nonsense has re-appeared. Has anyone seen this before and knows what it is please? I was able to reload last time after a few goes but not this time [:(]

[warspite1]

Also when I had the problem originally I saved the game as New Game. Why would the file sizes be so different?

[warspite1]

Well the good news is the smaller file loads. The bad news is I've got three days to re-do and to try and get as close a result as possible.

[warspite1]

Great. So I caught up on the missing turns as best I could and saved it - and once again that message comes up as it seems to be trying to save a massive game.

If anyone can help I'd appreciate it, otherwise that is the end of that with about 10 days to go [:(]

Check to see if your page file is off. Try turning it on then see what happens.

I do not know if this will help but I had out of memory crashes on some games. I had replaced my primary hard drive with an SSD and on recommendation turned off the page file system. Since turning page file back on and letting windows manage it, I've not had an error.

Thank you for responding mbar. However I wouldn't know a page file if it got up and bit me on the bum [:)]. Can you tell me where I would find this please? Thank-you.

This' guide's for win10, but the UI involved is ancient and should work for the last few previous versions. It tries to cover everything including the kitchen sink, but you can ignore a lot of it. Just make sure that it's turned on and that Windows is allowed to manage its size (Automatically manage paging file size for all drives). There're some (mostly theoretical) advantages to manually managing its size; but if you don't know what you're doing you're more likely to shoot yourself in the foot than improve the situation.

Any news? Any chance the game can be resumed?

Sadly not. I sent Vic the details of the error and the game turn from before the problem occurred but have heard nothing since.

He did mention sending the actual game after it had gone wrong but that involved WeTransfer or DropBox (whatever they are) so I can't go down that route.

I guess what I've sent is insufficient for him to be able to do anything so c'est la vie, all that time and effort expended on the game for nothing [:(] Ho hum.....

wetransfer is genuinely painless to use. See the attached image.

Basically you don't need to sign up or anything so simply open. Drag and drop the file(s) you want to transfer into the section 'add your files' and then click on transfer.

It'll do its thing and once the file is uploaded then the you simply select the url it generates (a prompt comes up for this), paste that into an email and send it to the recipient. They can then access those files.

PM me if you want a bit more ...

[warspite1]

Okay thanks - I'll see if Vic comes back, I am so worried about adding these sort of things to my computer [:(]

good thing is that unlike dropbox (which has become incredibly demanding and intrusive), this is basically just a webpage that you open and use. Its become my preferred means to swap files around etc (something I do a lot for my work)

[Vic]

I found the issue. Will send you an email with instructions how you can proceed your game!

best wishes,
Vic
