My apologies to all.. i guess it is just as hard for you to give the correct change without a computer.. if you are able to change 1,2,3,4 etc... how hard is it to grasp the concept of a,b,m then a number change every 3 files.. i can understand if you are using "one click". you only have to change one character. what else gets changed.. help me understand the difference..

Sorry if it has been posted before (I know it has) but starting a new topic will insure it is not buried. I have started a few PBEM games with new players and would like to pass along the system that insures the correct file is sent to your opponent. One that has been in place since the Beta Versions came out.. since the game is in a WEGO system there are three files that get passed for each turn. so to tell what part of the turn is being passed most veterans of this game use this system: the first file passed is the game originators orders phase after the initial deployment of your troops. that file will be named: xxxxxx Tyya.txt where xxxx is the name you chose for the file and yy is the turn number the second file is the opponents orders phase and is will be named: xxxxxx Tyyb.txt the third file to be passed is the movie file. the originator will see the movie when he receives the file xxxxxx Tyyb.txt. it's name will be: xxxxxx Tyym.txt if you only have one game going at a time you should be able to tell where you are at in a game. But if you have multiple games being played like most of the old timers here. this system helps to control what game and what turn you are on. PLEASE USE THIS SYSTEM... again for all us old farts (and you cess'ers know who we are) sorry for the redundancy. hope this helps Arien [This message has been edited by Arien (edited 03-07-2001).]

Arien; a child of Aries the zodiac sun sign ruled by the planet Mars. Mars is also the Roman god of war.. I was born in April hence the name..have used some form of that name since the mid 80's when I started playing computer games. [This message has been edited by Arien (edited 02-14-2001).]

i cut my teeth on that game.. was the first AH game that i played.. fond memories of late night play with a friend up till 3 am. many a game took a week or more to play..

I think too many left their chads dangling too long..(a couple of execptions.. eg. kitty and tankgirl...).

LOL.... roflmao..
