That beta-tester would be me - I'm hardly undercover though [;)]

Sorry for the poor choice of word due to lack of time combined with lack of mastering of the English language. But goal is attained : you posted your insane ideas here.

Now your procedure works if players :
1. trust each other : there is no password whatsoever,
2. can cope with the lack of replay : you're blind half of the time.

From my limited experience, security and replay (multiple replays) are two fundamentals of modern PBEM. And this is not trivial to implement correctly.

Joss, thanks for sharing your experience as a busy wargamer clearing his schedule for some online play, ... and inventing some insane ways to play this game. [:D]

Take care,

JeF.

HTTR multiplayer savegames are password-protected.

I've got another dozen if anyone is interested - whenever you need a deluge of bad ideas I'm you man

Well, it was a proposition for a "quick fix" of the no-pbem situation. As Steve indicated password protection could be implemented pretty easily.

As to the lack of replay : depends on how you look at it - it essentially simulates the "painfully realistic" setting *real* commanders were facing.

In other words it's not a lack of a feature, but a very realistic feature implementation

Dutch doesn't seem to be that hard language after all. Jef is a French-speaking Belgian, and so a true grognard. Did I get it right? What do I win? [:D]

Then again, it must be Flemish, so I didn't win anything. [:(]

1) Dutch looks/is easy, as it's the second closest language to English (Frisian is no 1) - Flemish as a language doesn't exist, it's the groupname for a collection of Lower Franconian languages/dialects incomprehensible to all but the natives, but it's also commonly used to denote the version of Dutch as spoken in Flanders. It has about the same relation to standard Dutch as American English has to Oxford English.

That may be harder than you think![;)]

This thread has gone way too far from the original subject, but as some insinuasions are directed to me, I have to respond.

I was going to argue, then I had a look at the definition ( Wikipedia ) and I have to agree, especialy the 'grumbler' part. [;)]

I'm not a clone ! I'm the original !
