Oh dear. So the "standard territory" arrangement works for PCs only? Hehe - that sounds like a lot of tripe to me. Beneficial and necessary? You've got to be kidding!! What have we here? BTS is now plugging in to the Great Commercial Rip-off? Is that what a certain amount of success has done to the once decicated web-community games development? Oh dear, oh dear! You know what? Keep your game! Bye Tedrik

Oh my - that's rich :eek: Mothers should be abolished Happy 21st, STIX !!!!! Cheers Ted

Hi - As GM for the CPX,I have spent the last months setting up a lot of battles for PBEM and TCP/IP play. I do not like the Tournament save because the first player can look at both players set-up and I have used a different method to avoid this. One of the players, Rob Hall, pointed out to me that others might like to use this method. So I thought I post this here (sorry if this is a bit longwinded) I will do this by way of example: (It is important to know which player gets the file first) For this example I will choose Allied = 1st player and Axis = 2nd player This is the method: Create a scenario in the editor and save this as an ordinary save, NOT tournament save Now start a game in the usual way: Click "Play Game" Select your scenario from the CM listing. Click "Play Scenario" This brings up the General Briefing. Click "DONE" Choose the nationality for the 2nd player, in this case "AXIS" This brings up the connection choice. Choose "Hotseat" This brings up the Axis Briefing. Click "DONE" This brings up the Axis password choice. Choose a password (write it down somewhere The Game now opens for the Axis player setup phase Click "GO" This brings up the Allied password choice. Choose a password The game now opens for the Allied player setup phase. Save the game using ALT-S That's it. This SaveGame file will now open for the Allied player setup. (if I had wanted the file to open for the Axis player setup I would have chosen ALLIED at the nationality option above) This GameFile can now be used like any other Scenario file. You can play PBEM, TCP/IP or Hotseat. It will open for the side that was current when the game was ALT-S saved. It will start with the setup turn for both sides - but the passwords are set and the file can not be opened by anyone without the password(s). Phew - this is a bit longwinded But if you want to send out a scenario that is 100% secure - this is how you can do it. Happy gaming Ted ------------------ 'Every attack ends in a defense'.
