The game gives a benign message and then "you lose,"

Post by VonderHof »

I am playing. Then a message pops up: "our position was over-riden." BANG - game over. No identification of when it happened, how it happened, nothing. I cannot learn what happened to fix it next time. It just says "too bad, so sad." QUESTION: is there a way to query the game/system to learn what happened? How I lost?

Can you be more specific about the map you were playing - is this single or multiplayer, etc.

Cheers

Same problem here... I believe they have all been the GJS'44 scenarios for me. Playing on an iPad 4.

Hey MB, thanks for the heads up.

Can you help me with a couple of questions...

1. Which GJS'44 campaign were you playing?

If it's GJS'44, JUN06, JUN07, or JUN07PM, please follow this link and download the latest version -> viewtopic.php?f=87&t=40441#p378625

2. If it was the GJS'44 Open Tourney, were you in the middle of a game? Is there any chance that you might have lost your last flag?

The GJS'44 campaign games are won on points (marked under each of the flags), but the GJS'44 Open Tourney is won based on flags (but if you lose your last flag, you lose the game).

Not sure if Slith programmed BA to say something about being overridden tho? That's definitely not me. I'd expect the game to end with the usual "Objective Failed" style message, if you lose your last flag.

If you can help me with more info, I'd be happy to try to fix for you.

Thanks for the feedback!
:-)
