I'm revoking the "Commandos must be on destroyers" rule. It will just give the Germans more of a chance to aim for destroyers and a harder time for the Allies without spec ops support.

You realised my technique then...?
To look for the marines, and sink them first... They're dangerous!!

Lets see what the arty has to say about that

Hey Landmarine, I'm ready for you to start playing one of our accepted games if you want to start?

Ill get back to you as soon as I can right now I'm a bit occupied at the moment

Update: peterjfrigate and bfume are progressing well with peterjfrigate as Allies. We're restarting our other scenario [with bfume as Allies] on the new version since I was getting my arse handed to me.

Ok I have some free time right now Ill get up to date with everything but I ask of all of you is some screenshots please! Me and JCB will bring lots

Ranger & I will post screenshots... But only after about 5 turns in... if we can land anything!!... His freighters are coming waaaaaay deep!!

JCB are you using V1.1? For me it looks like 1.04. In that case Ill abondon the games and make new ones.

Didn't dot.comCTO suggest you would be handing arses out to each of us, Bfume?
Did you pay him his dollar?

I am fully updated yes

Hmmm If we continue into the next turn will we have everything that was included in 1.1

Versions of Dieppe are fully 'upgrade safe'... So long as both players upgrade, you can safely carry on any current games...

To check which version you have, go to New Challenges, create a new challenge, and note down which version number it shows... That's what you've got...

I'm pretty sure you've got 1.1 already, LM. It's not giving me any 'code mismatch' errors in either of the two v1.1 games that we're playing...

Justin, are you getting 'code mismatches' versus LandMarine? LM has 1.1 for sure (from the game I'm playing with him).

So long as both of you upgrade, there's no need to abandon anything in progress...

I did pay him his dollar. I think. He most assuredly owes me a few himself, so we're likely even.

As far as the arses go... well... see that's what we call sarcasm.

No I guess not. Upgrading now.

Um. That would be a big NO! And I'm sure he'll end up paying me 100 pennies...unrolled!

bfume is just lulling you guys into a false sense of security! Don't let him fool you...or get away with it! Show him who's who!

Haha, thanks d.c CTO... We plan to!... I'm just having trouble getting any of my opponents to complete 2way Dieppe games...

If Bfume is ready to take his beating... I'm happy to play him 2way...

But with two conditions: If he starts, he's gotta finish our game... And he's got to finish without whining if he gets caught (especially if I land a massive Allied force on his beaches unmolested... again... yawn ...yeah, I've been pretty lucky in my last 3 games... but it is possible... )

ACHTUNG SPOILERS!!: If you're having difficulty with Dieppe but still want to try to solve it for yourself... STOP READING NOW!!
But for those who have surrendered too often and need a little help, read on. I will take this post down later (so please don't quote it anyone)... THANKS

Mein Gott! Von where did all these Tommies come??!!

As dawn breaks... a Royal Navy destroyer force lays a thick wall of smoke... preventing reaction fire from coastal guns, to hide thirty (yup, that's 30 gentlemen ) Allied troops assaulting the beach... Smoke also blocks German visual on the attacking troops, so defenders cannot target an effective bombard, without exposing their infantry spotters to murderous reaction fire...

The most threatening 152mm coastal gun, in the easterly bunker by Puys village, lies dead and idle... taken out by the adjacent Royal Marine platoon...

Meanwhile, the transports that have successfully landed, sail across the German line of fire, to draw out the locations of hidden defenders... Heads down!! Here come the B17s!!

This is a real game versus a human opponent... I won't say who, but it's fair to say that they know the game and the map... and they're a darned good player... This tactic isn't the only one that works but it's worked twice for me now... so it should work for you too... Sure, there are other strategies, but you don't want ALL the answers, do you?

See you at the Casino lads? Put ten francs on 8 black for the Colonel...
