Did you get a email from JMM of Histwar.
I sent you a letter a while agao.

Also Reinforcements in Third Party would you be able to get this in the patch up and coming?

There seems to be a design flaw in not allowing players to fight defensive battles as 3rd party.

Am I missing something? Or is this something you can fix.

The feature works fine if I attack the AI, but not if it attacks me.

Thanks,

George

Third party was meant to have at least two human players. you can also use the admin feature to get the data you need though.

We have a 3rd Party going invoving 4 players at the moment.

Oh, Good, is there any special resource you can direct me to for the admin feature, or is the manual sufficient?

BTW, I do think you should fix that for solo play, youll sell more copies.

Thanks!

Third party combat for ships is not quite implemented.

The option for third party resolution works for attacking other stacks at sea. It doesn't currently work for combats that result from interception or running blockades. Would be really nice to get this addressed, particularly because the majority of ship combat results from interceptions or blockade running.

What exactly is the procedure for using the admin feature to obtain the data?

If you play a PBEM game, there is a host who has access to the Admin Menu. Section 4.2.8, The Role of the PBEM Game Host (The Hub), provides details. You can not only obtain some game data, but can edit the data. Hope this helps!

It does, thanks!
