Hail all, I am relatively new to Warring Suns. Many years ago in college, my friends and I played the amiga version endlessly. I was very happy to find this updated version - and with about 50 battles under my belt - I've got a handle on the new weapons and equipment.

My question ... I'm playing with the old crowd from college (me in Virginia, another in Ohio, and the last one in Kansas) on Friday nights. After about an hour into our epic struggle, one of my friends "lost connection."

I (the host) was given the option of giving his mechs to the AI or exiting the battle. Is there not a way to re-enter the battle if a drop occurs? If not, this is disheartening because odds are good that we will often have an interruption during a multi-hour three way slugfest.

I thank you for your replies [:)]

You can resume a game with lost connections be restarting the battle. Your friends have to connect as usual but you (the hosts) will select to load a saved game. If you did not save during the battle the autosave is your best option. Note that you have to allocate players to their teams the same way you did when you started for the first time.
