Re: BA failing to Send

I'm having the same problem but interestingly I can use the save for later function after I've made my moves. If you get hung up with a good move - try it.

Re: Zip of full BBCBA Multi-player user created mods

I don't know how to do that. I'll have to study that for a while and I'm out of town for a month.

Zip of full BBCBA Multi-player mods

I've created a dropbox folder that has a zip of all the multi-player mods listed here and many more. The original dropbox was created by PDKGAMES and I (OLDMANRICK) put together with an version of the MERR RANDOM games modded for France '40 (still not fully tested). The includes all the games we hav...

Re: Objective Failed...we just started?!

Did you try not changing anything in the force selection? I seem to remember that I looked and decided it was ok so hit the button again. IIRC, also, I may have not gotten to the confirmation screen. I was surprised by how quickly it abandoned the game and, at the time, something else seemed wrong. ...

Re: Crash report after closing out of BA

PC Version gives the same crash - at least on Win 98. I just ignore it.

Re: Objective Failed...we just started?!

Second time I tried the same scenario, same axis side, and probably the same force selection. This time I accepted the upload at the confirmation screen. No problem this time. If you want to run an experiment, I would try that. Second player, select forces, start upload, decline at the confirmation ...

Re: Objective Failed...we just started?!

Same thing happen to me. I challenged and had axis so was going second. Playing against gortwillsaveus - game shows a June 23, 2012 11:18 time tag - meeting engagement redux. One thing I did that I thought may have contributed is that, after initially finished selecting forces, I declined to upload ...

Blitzkrieg France - Head On multiplayer quick finish

In paired multi-player games of the Head On Scenario from Battle Academy Blitzkrieg France, the Axis won both games after two moves by occupying 5 VP flags. The win conditions were take and hold, not take. See my latest completed games with Brummbar44. I find it strange that there is no mention of t...

Re: Panther back from the Dead

Then this line from the text1 file in the text folder needs to be fixed:

IDS_LTIP5,"Tip: When a unit's morale drops below 50 it is suppressed and will not return fire."

Re: Panther back from the Dead

Another thing I'm noticing more of is suppressed units fire back. I had a situation with a marder at point blank range firing at a sherman jumbo with a morale of 19 (very well supressed). No movement, not even turning to face, on the first attack of the turn and the sherman fired back and suppressed...

Re: Merr...QuickBattles! (solo & multiplayer) ... v1.12

After what must be three dozen random games, I've realized the one item that dominates wins is on board artillery. I don't think I've seen the axis lose when they have a couple of wespe's and the allies don't have any artillery. I rarely see the allies lose when they have priests/25 lbrs/m8's and th...

Re: Panther back from the Dead

In the easiest to remember, the second allied turn as allies in a quick battle 30x40 v1.12 versus brummbar44 when I kill a sdkf251/9 and it came back to life in his turn, I'm pretty sure there were no bonuses activated although I may have scheduled an artillery strike. Turns out the game with lynz, ...

Re: Panther back from the Dead

More Zombie units. I've now seen this happen three of four times. It seems to be a new bug. On each occasion it was the last unit killed on the turn. All occurred on Merr random battles. I also had an infantry relocated two hexes east of where I left him when I ended the turn. Is there a way we can ...

German reach 5 VPs in Sealion On the beach - game continues

Playing a pair of SeaLion On the Beach games against arminius, I've reached 5 VPs as the Germans and the game did not end. From the victory description I was under the impression that it was "reach 5" not "reach and hold 5". This obviously would change my approach to the game (pl...
