VERY IMPORTANT -Pbem correct battle procedure
Posted: Sat Feb 16, 2008 12:37 am
No one ever explained step by step the correct procedure to follow when a battle happens in a PBEM game.
Of course the manual is completely silent, as in many other cases.
The result is that I'm stuck in 2 PBEM games in battles not involving myself.
First case: Tunis single corp attacked one turkish corp...game generated battle file also if it was clear that battlefiles are generated only when the number of defending corps are above one. Is it a bug? Anyway the game is frozen because they can't go on in the battle.
Second case: 2 Austrian corps attack two french corps in Mantua. No battle files were generated. Neither for the defender nor for the attacker. So we are stuck once again. Is it another bug?
Anyway please someone (Monadman?) explain in details step by step the procedure.
In particular who has to do or click what to initiate a battle?
First of all who is the first that sends the relevant battle file loaded from battles directory to the counterpart? The attacker or the defender?
Chit selection is blind or not? In other words if the attacker sends for first his battle file the defender knows the choice of the attacker before choosing his chit and sending back the battle file? Or the contrary?
Please explain with a complete example.
I did not understand and for sure I was not alone.
Please help!!!
This thread is vital for a great number of people and will be used as a reference in every pbem game.
Thanx in advance
