Are you (edit: and Karri) some kind of FITE-Police here who says what i should have done and what not?

Well, not police. But certainly have played FITE long enough to know what you can do and can't. Wouldn't invade Finland, but for example in Leningrad Larry has a line one unit deep guarding his eastern flank. Facing this you have a line 2 units deep with several hexes that have units stacked in them, on top of this you have several tank brigades and other assorted units nearby. All of these units seem to be full strenght and well rested...all capable of attacking, and thus stopping Larry's offensive.

Overall I'd say you are playing way too cautious, but that is just the impression I get form the AAR and might not be true.

Just trying to give advice, but if you don't want it fine...

Hey Dave: this is the Karri who beats me every time I play him. Karri and I have played FITE a couple of times and have played both sides and he beat me really good both times. I learned a lot from Karri and I believe he knows what he's talking about. I'm just saying.......

Somebody do me a huge favor and see if you can see the web page at this URL:

[ This is the turn 105 AAR on my computer at home. ]

http://192.168.0.66:8080/FITE%20AARs/tu ... 20105.html

I installed a web server on my computer at home and have been experimenting with it so as to see if it serves up web pages.  It works on my machine at home and I need to know if others can see the web pages too.  That way I can just add the address of the next AAR in a table and voila' it's deployed ( published ).  If this doesn't work I'll have to go back to uploading the AAR's to a web server ( that I've already paid for the whole year for ( $52.00)). 

I just tried. Browser said 'couldn't connect'.

Hey you guys:  I switched to a different web server and tested it and it seems to be working.  So now I need somebody to test it again.  You should see a directory listing of the each of the turn's AAR in a separate directory and you should be able to navigate to the AAR you want to see and just click on the HTML file inside the separate directories and you should see the AAR foir that turn.

http://192.168.0.66/

lemme know okay?

No joy. I tried it with IE, Google Chrome and Firefox. First two said they couldn't display the web page and the last one said it timed out. Maybe my internet connection doesn't like your server. Maybe wait for someone else to take a shot at it.

And yet *I* click on the link above and here's the result:

I'm through with Axis turn 107 and I'm hoping you can view the AAR by going directly to my computer:

http://192.168.0.66

And if that doesn't work we can always do it the old fashioned way:

I'm not sure but I think I may have captured Bryansk.  Dave will probably take it back in his turn.

I just wonder... Larry why are your guys not digged in? And this counts from north to south, may you forgot this after case blue?

Um........I got lazy after I discovered that Dave doesn't counterattack. He may change his mind after *this* posting but so far Dave hasn't counterattacked me since the '41 Winter offensive. The '42 Winter offensive is in about 25 turns or so and so I will have to change my lazy ways and start digging in my people when they aren't attacking. Good eyes there Pionier dude.

Link doesnt work, dunno why.

Now its starting to get interesting ... I got the feeling, da hughe d is massing his troops in order to crush the germans completely in winter 42^^

@fulkerson: you gotta open up the kaukausus and keep him under pressure, otherwise its gonna be a harsh winter for ya [:D]

For whatever reason, I don't think your server is accepting requests. [&:]

I'm thinking it's a firewall problem but I'm not sure. Lemme go through the install docs again...maybe I missed a step?

Stalingrad isn't all that far away from me. So I guess my next objectives will be Leningrad and Stalingrad....since I've captured all the other "easy" objectives. The rest of the objectives are a hard fight away. I'm having trouble imagining that I have Moscow under attack.

I spent about 45 minutes on the phone with Qwest ( they're my ISP ) to try to get somebody to help me figure out how to modify the routing table so that TCP/IP packets that come in to my Qwest modem are forwarded to my computer so that my web server can see them.  I changed it and tested it on my mom's computer ( she lives around the corner from me here in the trailer park ) and it worked.  So I have reason to believe you guys can get to the AARs now.  The address to enter into the address box on your web browser is this :

http://71.214.182.177

So um.........I need somebody to try using the address and see if you can see my AARs from my computer.  I can and my mom can and I'm hoping you guys can too.

So um....hey I just had a thought. Somebody else might want to turn their computer into a web server. I'm using Jibble as my web server. It's really small so it has a small code footprint, it's simple to set up and run and all the files needed are in the zip file located below:

http://www.mediafire.com/file/keoh2m2nx ... erLite.zip

Alternately you can download Jibble from the original web site here:

http://www.jibble.org/jibblewebserver.php

Just unzip WebServerLite.zip and you'll have a jar file, a batch file, and a command prompt shortcut. Move the three files to the directory you want to use as the root of your website and modify the batch file so that it reflects the directory where it lives and use the command prompt to fire up the batch file so that Jibble runs. By that I mean double click on the command prompt shortcut and you'll be presented with an MS-DOS window. Change directories until you can do a "dir" command and see a listing of the three aforementioned files. Then all you have to do is enter the command "start_web_server" in the MS-DOS window and the batch file will execute, starting Jibble. Leave the MS-DOS window open...don't close it. Closing it will stop the running of Jibble. Once Jibble is running on your computer you have access to your files. If you enter the loop-back address ( 127.0.0.1 ) in the address box of your computer you should see a listing of your files in the directory that represents your ROOT directory ( whatever directory you chose when you run Jibble can be the root). Only one instance of Jibble is needed for all your web service needs.

ALSO, there's just one catch to this whole process. You need the Java Run-time package installed on your computer. I have it because I'm writing Java programs to execute on my computer. You could also use the Java runtime that comes with the SDK ( software development kit ) that Java publishes....either works fine.

Sorry about the diversion from the AAR we're talking about....I'm just so excited about setting up a real web site that I had to tell somebody.

Wow Larry, that just popped right up there. Instantly. All systems go for launch.

If ever I want to set up a server you will be the go to guy. [8D]

After looking at Larry's latest AAR I'm with Karri. I can see a full scale offensive just waiting to pop. Mass the artillery and go at it Soviet style.

Soviet style is to attack at ignore losses settings, right?

I finally finished Axis turn 108 and published the AAR here:

Dave did another of his pull-back's and I'm in hot pursuit.
