Really interesting to see those prices.....

Well I think that statement is being shown to be true. I sent an email to their support address on Saturday still no response and according to RBS they are not UK based. RBS sent them an email and has had no response, the email notifications are still not being sent. This is not imo acceptable in this day and age. I have not even had an automated message saying we are looking into it. An automated response is simple to implement to help improve customer satisfaction. I finished my first paired game yesterday and I would note some possible areas we would need to test for CM titles. 1. No ability to replay a turn after watching it. In truth that might be an issue with FOG2 game design, but one to check when this is implemented for CM. I am now investigating how I can record video of each turn... 2. If you don't play for I think 3 weeks the server will delete your game and you lose it as you have no access to save the files locally to restore at later date. 3. You don't get access to files so that might cause issues? 4. Not easy to find and contact who you are playing. I had not realised the games were ending as I had met the vp conditions so had not used the chat feature to thank my oppo, I spent quite a bit of time trying to find my oppo on their forum to send an apology and it was not simple. I did it but not smooth. Just some observations that might prove useful for those talking to Slitherine about PBEM implementation.

Wow it was meant as a bit of light hearted banter but you seem to be a bit annoyed by it....

He is also a wargamer... But that don't count for much, I rated it for the comedy and wry smiles...

Just played that tiny mission to get my head into the game i thought it was Soviets vs AI but too easy and guessing I need to play as Americans. Nice scenario to ease you in... Would like to know about binoculars, as an aside my Grandad bought a decent set from I think Bulgaria on a holiday in the 50's he used them at Doncaster race course to fuel his gambling by betting on the horses. Maybe rather than give them to the soldiers they were being sold to gain foreign currency?

Well in the interest of testing the system I am currently engaged in several pbem battles using FOG2 and it is working well, apart from their email server to let you know you have a turn waiting seems to be down according to Richard Bodley Scott the author of FOG. This seems a bit poor as when a service stops running the support team should know about it pretty quickly. UK bank holiday seems to be delaying a reboot since Saturday. They should have Elvis on their team... Anyway apart from not knowing a turn is waiting for me it is working well. Dead easy to post a challenge. My challenges were picked up by opponents really quickly. You get a basic chat feature but no real information on your opponents. You can of course do a closed challenge and only the person knowing the password will be able to accept it. Now to turn pc back on to see if I have a turn waiting....

Have you tried Gumtree or even Ebay i just sold my old rig on Gumtree and the chap travelled 2 hours to get it. Once you know your target card / s just sent up a search and find a genuine seller. Of course you might already be doing this?

Excellent this fix needs to be stickyed and placed somewhere it can be found. I had same problem and it was annoying the uck out of me... Thanks

Made me smile and helps the tank museum

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutschland_83 Posted in the reforger thread, but might be missed due to the Swiss invasion... This series gives some political background and has a bit of military interest. Worth digging out and might be other half friendly to watch together.... A win win and they won't know you are getting into the cold War groove.

Not seen this TV series mentioned but it is very good to give non Germans an insight into some of the period politics. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutschland_83 I really enjoyed it and a useful insight to some East vs West German dynamics. YMMV but worth hunting out Imo.

Me too. Not sure if it has been lock down contributing but I certainly have a hankering for this period and really never thought I would see it come to fruition. So what a good surprise and the AAR has really given us a great insight to the game with two well matched opponents. They will no doubt keep one another happy in the care home of their choice, playing on the local LAN. I am glad Steve and Charles were persuaded to do this before they sail off into the sunset, which they will do at some stage... (as we all will...)

Well you are now ahead of Bil in commentary and he is certainly playing catch up. As for comments I try not to say anything as I could let slip clues as to what we know and you don't. But I think you will see that folk were in your corner when you read the Peanut Gallery thread... Before I just saw this latest post my guess was a draw... Looking forward to Bil's take on the last few turns...

Me too, computer graphics are coming on in leaps and bounds, nearly movie quality and hats off to those involved in making it.

Hmmm I wonder if this quote is Bil getting his force into position A0? Good update from the Capt but it could be getting worse for him if A0 is occupied by Bil? Still digging infantry from an Urban area is tough so could still be a draw in games terms? April is nearly upon us and I looking forward to getting my hair cut and playing this game... (For our American friends we have been in lock down and barbers closed since January?)

It ain't over til the fat lady sings, and my god the music you two have made is epic and truly enjoyable. We feel your pain and joy...

No worries, Bil has been entertaining us with his side of the game, we await eagerly your perspective.

some times you get things wrong.... Now to find how I delete old forum entries....

Some people are soooo demanding!!!! It would be great material to see but I am sure Bil has enough pressure on him already.

Ermmmm I will get my coat...

The Dragon streaking towards the BMP is a beautiful picture... I bet you are feeling happy with that turn...

I will have a play and see if I can see any diff by playing with the settings, of course the latest tech might just handle everything without tweaking...

2013 I knew it was a while ago but over 7 years... Thanks George

I have finally got my new PC up and running with the new Geoforce RTX3060 and I seem to remember there was a thread some years ago about the best settings to apply in the Nvidia control panel. My initial Google Fuu has failed to find that thread and I was wondering if it would be worth having something pinned on the tech forum on reccomended settings for Nvidia control panel? Also if anyone has updated their settings and happy to share so I can tweak my display. Thanks in advance...

Looks like Bil has the Arty back on line fairly quickly, not sure the 6 minute delay will help him as things moving too quickly. I guess they heard the Arty spotter kick the can....
