Giving it away for a while.

Piercing Fortress Europa is a new game from veteran game designer Frank Hunter, which covers the campaigns of the Western Allies from July, 1943 through the end of April, 1945 in Sicily and Italy. Each area has its own map and time scale to best represent the campaigns for Sicily and Italy and the player is offered complete freedom, limited only by a historical order of battle and logistics model, to plan his operations and explore all of the many “what ifs” that the Italian theater has to offer.

Giving it away for a while.

Post by Michael T »

After about 8 or 9 attempts at PBEM with this game I am giving up for a while. I just found two more bugs.

Playing as Allied I got half way thru my turn and had to leave the PC for a while. So I saved the game over the top of the
original file and when I came back and reloaded later the game went in to replay mode and played out my existing orders and advanced
the turn.

This gave me an excellent crystal ball as to how my orders would play out. So another cheat method that needs to be blocked.

The second bug is that if Recon shows a German Unit on a beach behind the lines (in my game I could see Salerno had the 16th Pz sitting there) you cannot order
an invasion at that beach.

I think the game has potential and hence France 44 as well. But its been several months of restarts over and over. I wish you well Frank but I give up on this one for now.

Sorry about that, both bugs have now been fixed and will be in the next version.

Ok thanks Frank. When the next version comes out I will try again if I can convince someone to try PBEM again. [:)]
