I stumbled across another feature of the game.

Many scenarios are set in the western desert. Many of these have wadi hex sides. In most cases it is impossible to cross a wadi hex side.

Place an engineering unit adjacent to a wadi hex side, place it into defence posture then on the following turn he can lay a bridge across the wadi.

Presto! The advance can continue.

Hi Joe

Good spot - I'd thought that you should have a way to get through the wadi hexes but didn't look too closely [;)]

It's not a bug is it [;)][;)]

Yep making my daily posts heading for 1800.

Fix the bugs please, we enjoy the game, and would like "some" support or an answer as to why it can't be fixed.


I just LOVE never ending stories.

Posting in the CC or general forum is having no apparent effect. Is it worth highligting this issue outside the Matrix/Slitherine forum? Perhaps in the Wargamer forums?

Well nothing can hurt. The only thing they can do is ignore us, and that eventually gets pretty embarassing for "them."

We haven't been rude in our requests that I have noticed, only persistent, funny, but never disrespectful. The gamers here are just looking for a response good or bad.

I will state the obvious, how hard is it for the developer to pop in 1 x per month, and say. I'm working on it stay tuned, or I can't fix it, game over, move on.

I LIKE the game. I personally feel it's worth fixing. It's simple to learn, but complex. If it were redone today, in modern graphics, it would be considered as great as Unity of Command. It has a whole bunch more scnearios than most games come with.

Fix the withdrawal bug, and see if they can track down the occassional game freeze. The withdrawal bug is the number one problem keeping people from playing.

I ain't quitting, we have been polite, I opened a support ticket, and they told me situation resolved ask all game related questions in the game forum. SO HERE I AM, FIX THE BUG, or tell me it can't be fixed, but tell me something pretty please.

You have Tim Coakley, Obsolete, and Michael Cooney, and one would think that one of them could kindly tell us something about the state of the game.

Sheesh, you get a game with a "small" problem according to them, and a game you really, really like, and no support. Ain't it just our luck.

You ought to buy the game just to check out the editor. It's one of the best I have personally seen. I'm sure JMass might argue about that with his experience, but it sure looks nice to me, and I'm not good at this stuff.

But I do know what I am good at. Keeping this thread going until someone official replies. With the help of the Combat Command Matrix Edition Lost Company.

We are all going to have 5 stars by the time this is over, and everyone going to be saluting us. [;)][:D]

It is a cool game. It's much easier to learn than WitE for sure. The editor is really cool. Pretty simple to use compared to other games. I like the simple graphics of the game. It's easy to get into and play yet deep too. The withdraw bug is a killer and that's really too bad. Haven't had this much fun in a game for a long time until the withdraw bug. Did mention the withdraw bug? Oh yeah....I think I did mention the withdraw bug [:)]

I hope all of the Lost Company have posted support tickets in the members forum. I posted mine when Joe suggested we complain. At least you too, can experience the status resolved message.

Of course wonders never cease they may give you a more reasonable answer than what I got. You do have to register, and it's not the same as being a registered forum member. Thanks, that is all, carry on.

I looked up the press release for boku, here's the first paragraph


The veteran developer will be teaming up with Matrix to bring a new line of wargames.

Matrix Games is excited to announce that they have reached a multi-game publishing agreement with Boku Strategy Games (www.bokustrategygames.com). This new partnership will see an enhanced re-release of both the Horse and Musket 2 Series and the Combat Command 2 series. [In addition, Tim Coakley of Double Shot Design will be working together with Boku Strategy Games in the design and development of the next un-announced game series being developed.

here's the link to the rest. http://www.matrixgames.com/news.asp?nid=393

this was from 2007, wonder if there still working on that new series of games, the boku link just leads to matrix site.

Is this game and the horse& musket the only boku games here? the horse&musket forum is absent of any developers as far as i can see.

I don't know if some of you noticed, but Max 86 did in the General forum. Interesting very interesting.

Post for the day take it away.

I don't get the ignore us attitude. Did I miss something through all of this thread, where we were vicious and impolite in our demands for a response?

Boku did the War Engine (I think), which has been free for a while. It was a great concept, but maybe a lack of polish. I can't remember...

Inspired by sabre1 new signature (which doesn't seem to have come up in the above posts) I've created this, with apologies to the XV Brigada Internacional

Now I just have to figure out how to add it to my signature. Seem to have figured it out.
