I've used Hotmail and Yahoo for my PBEM games.

Hotmail works fine if the files you recieved are zipped. If you need to zip your files before sending, depends on your opponent.

With Yahoo. I never have had a problem recieving files in yahoo mail. I've only had problems sending files in yahoo once, and that was with one opponent. The rest worked fine.

Zipping files is the easiest way to get around any problems you may be having. There are several zipping programs avalible. Just do a web search on them. I use pkzip.

ok.... so I'm an idiot.

I can use the cut option in the edit screen. I just didn't think you could open the edit screen if it wasn't your post.

Thanks for the tip!

I wasn't on board early enough to submit my name.... but then again i'll never see this on the forum...

" That damn sgt. McGarvey, I had his sherman placed in an excellent ambush position, What does he do? He misses! Point blank, twice!! then gets taken out by a 200 meter shreck team. Can we court martial our guys? or just beat them with sticks?"

Same here. I love watching "combat". Comes on here every thursday for an hour to an hour and a half in the afternoons on movieplex. As for "Rat Patrol", Man I loved that show as a kid! granted it isn't too realistic, But worth the price of admission just to see the jeeps jump the dunes.

Hey Gyrene251.

Your link isn't working. Just thought I'd give you a heads up.

Also since we lost our thread when the forum died... could we get a short chime in from everyone again?

Greetings,

I'm planning on starting a section on my CM page that provided helpful little hints and tips to CM players. I figure there will be a lot of new players coming on board that might find some of the things we have discovered helpful. I'm not asking anyone to give away their game winning stratagies or anything map specific. I was just wondering if any of you had anything you would like to submit to be posted there.

Thanks

LoL, Username.

It doesn't seem a very safe way of traveling. Maybe they are just protecting each others flanks...

OB&G please lighten up a little bit.

Next thing you'll be doing is asking us all for our hall-pass.

Greetings, I'm starting a homepage (yes it will have a CM section). I've checked everything with IE. I was wondering if someone using netscape would look at the couple pages I have up and tell me if they display correctly.

Thanks Lorak
