    Card Deck(s)

    in Down In Flames

    Posted

    I saw a reference to Card Decks in another thread. I had been wondering about this. From that reference it seems that each player has their own seperate deck?

    For the computer game...is a deck initially shuffled, then drawn top down only, without being resuffled during a game?

    Once again, I take it the manual will answer most of my questions, but until it gets here, I guess I'll just have to pester whoever I can get to answer ;)

    Dead Pilots

    in Down In Flames

    Posted

    Please clarify.

    1. Assuming that the wingman is promoted during the battle with turns left. He assumes the leader position, but does not bring over any purchased abilities during the current combat?

    2. After battle, during Manage Pilots, would he retain abilities inherent to both (such as Natural Pilot), or does he have to start from scratch and purchase everything?

    3. Which brings up another question ;) In the full version, is there a way to add a Wingman to any single Leader? (Exception being a Campagin, or not?)

    ... I've ordered the game, so I'll get to see how the manual answers some of my questions. From some of the posts, I can already see there are distinct differences in playing the full version.

    Problem with Campaign Game

    in Down In Flames

    Posted

    I don't get the directplay error, but when I first tried to create a campaign, I received some type of window with a lot of 'code' in it, in my IE web browser window. Could IE be the problem? Deal is, I use Firefox. I can get to the lobby just fine with Firefox. I tried using IE to get to the lobby and then creating a campaign game and this worked. But when I try to play the game, I just get the blue background without any graphics or text. Just before the blank screen, I receive an info box containing only my user name and no other info under the headings in the 'box'...

    Oh yeah...WinXP with SP2 and current updates applied. DirectX 9c.

    Yep...for CMBO some of us submitted our last names...from time to time they show up in all three versions. To answer one of your questions, mine usually dies early on smile.gif

    What kind of name do you have if it shows up in both CMBO and CMBB? Or is it German or Polish?

    BFC, I want my name into CMAK too!!! :mad: </font>

    Virus: Shouldn't be me...I don't keep an address book, just in case of things like that. I just create a folder under my inbox and store one or more email messages, then use 'reply' smile.gif or when the need arises, I manually type in the address...it ain't that difficult smile.gif And I'm running an updated anti-virus program and IE6.

    Of couse nothing is fool-proof...and not keeping an address book won't prevent other types of viruses, but it's one more item to help out, and if I do get infected, at least the type using an address book should die on my system.

    Also, shutting off the 'preview' pane helps. Rumor (or fact) claims that there are now viruses that activate is simply previewed.
