Very, VERY helpful! Looking forward to more gems of insight.

Thank you for your hard work.

Hello,

Anyone else getting "bandwidth exceeded" on the photobucket images posted in this thread?

Yes, I just got an email from photobucket, looks like I exceed my free account limit. Perhaps I'l have to make this a pdf sooner then expected.

[Zovs]

First of all thank you all very much for the kind words. I am very glad that this online boot camp has either helped, taught or pointed you in the right direction.

I just re-read my email and it looks like I have till the 27th to work on and possibly complete the PDF.

[font="courier new"]You have exceeded the 10 GB monthly bandwidth limit on your free
Photobucket account.  As such, your image and video links have been
temporarily disabled.  Your images and videos have not been deleted but
will be reactivated on the 27th of the month, when your bandwidth
usage resets to zero.

If you'd like to re-activate your links right away, you can upgrade to a
Photobucket Pro account.  [/font]

You can attach one photo per post directly to these forums, allowing Matrix to do a bit of the hosting for you. It's less flexible than photobucket, but it's something.

Oh man, I was getting ready to sit down and read through this thing or print it out today, too! It was fantastic. I look forward to you getting it back online or the .pdf version. Thank you for all your hard work on this excellent tutorial!

[Swayin]

rats - can't wait to see this in .pdf form...thanks for all your hard work on it!

[hgilmer3]

Yes, dlazov66, please accept our thanks.  I cannot wait until the PDF form, either. But patient, I'll be.  It was as fine a walkthrough as I have ever seen.  All the support has been great from the testers and Matrix.

OOPS. My Blitzkrieg just ground to a halt. Good luck and I can't wait.

I am looking forward to the pdf of this boot camp!

[lparkh]

Ya please the PDF! The photo bucket has killed my ability to keep reading through this!

[robjoh]

Dear dlazov66,

Thanks for what seems to be a fantastic tutorial. Even though being far from new to complex games like WITE I feel that this tutorial would be a perfect start for me when I sit down tonight. Any idea when you will release it in a readable format (pdf?) so that we can view the pics?

Many thanks in advance!

Great tutorial, just a shame with Photobucket. I was just gething started reading though it.

I hope you find the time to make PDF soon.

I am so very glad so many of you have found this useful, that is rewards enough. Currently I am up to 52 pages without images inserted, what you have read so far was only 36 pages of text so there is more.

I am to the point in the document where I dismiss class for those that wish to venture on their own and stay for those that need more studying. Not sure how much longer this section will take or how far to go. I think in the above I did the one attack and then went into an overview of the land, what you have not seen yet is the review of command and then the opening of the frontier (only 5 hexes, might do six to get rid of a fort) and am at the point of moving to pocket and then a part on moving to exploit and then a turn wrap up and let GAI do her thing and then end it and set you all free so I can work on two 1943 scenarios for you to play.

So my gut feeling is about another 8 to 12 pages or so of text and then I need to just insert the images and create a PDF, the latter should only take 45 minutes, the 8-12 pages I want to complete as quickly as possible and would love to get it to you tonight, but I have to work and we are going out to a family movie tonight so that won't happen.

I don't want to keep you all in the lurch either, so conflicted I am, plus after I created the final copy I was going to have several members of the testing team review first, before getting it out to you all.

Bootcamp in pdf format is certainly welcome. Keep up the good work!

Any update to the status of the .pdf tutorial?

[Zovs]

I have it done (at least 98% done I could add more) and am importing in images to it now. I still don't have a place to place it so people can down load it, and was waiting to see if Matrix would host it.

If it's no larger than 100 MBytes (I seriously doubt it... hehe), you can post if for free on www.mediafire.com (You'll have to create a free account to do so)

edit> You can also "split" .zip files into several smaller segments to be downloaded separately and then they will reassemble altogether. I believe this is also possible with .rar files too.

If you use mediafire... you upload the file then copy/paste the mediafire link into your post. After that, others just click the link and Voila... download box appears.
