Stalin's Organ

....as a shortcut to campaign games.

I found this too, until I was told the tricks for attacking bombers!! 1/ Concentrate on 1 bomber at a time 2/ dont' attack unless you're holding defensive cards - a simple barrel roll evades 3:3 or 2:D

I've had several good sessions of an hour or more over the last day or 2, so I guess I won't be asking for a refund However I've also experienced several sessions where I couldn't get started due to "disconnect" right at he beginning - even with ZA turned off. When it's going well it seems reasonably error tolerant - I've had games not start properly and DirectX errors in hte middle of a session, and then immediately started another game with no problems. But if it doesn't want to start then it just won't go

But a non-experience/fatigue system would still be good for, say, experienced pilots who have newbies who want a game - the experienced players could take a pilot at the newbie level and get nothing for it. Or vice versa - basiacally select points then select a pilot/skill/aircraft combo that suits. Personally I quite like flying hte Gladiators

Same here - except "maybe" instead of will. :confused:

Some different errors this morning I have had the DirectX error a couple of times, once it crashed thte whole thing as above, 2 other times I managed to get in some dogifights by just starting a new dogfight immediately. I also had an error on exiting a dogfight - I've got a screenshot of it if you want a look - it left me with my own wingman on-screen, and froze at that point. I did seem to get credit for the kills & fatigue for the mission tho, so it wasnt' a disaster!

And again just now - this time I got the dreaded DirectX error rather than a time-out. Edit: the lobby also lost its connection soon after this - first time that's happened to me.

OK - my connection is cable, not wireless, and hte 1 game I did get was an hour ago.....

All this only matters if you can actually play the game!

I've had the full game for 3 days, and in that time I've managed to play exactly 1 (ONE) dogfight - which was great fun - Gladiators vs Kates But essentially the game is unplayable due to losing the connection before fights. Can I return the CD for a refund?

I get the oipposite - I always lose my connection to the game and retain that to the lobby.

One reason for getting the IMO2:D and OTS3:4's might be that hte 'bot is retaining them for use at a propitious moment? I know I do!

3 years in the local cut-lunch-commandos (Territorials) - 2 as assault pioneer (an infantry Bn's attached "engineer" platoon), and 1 in the recce pln of the same Bn (secondary role using FN MAG GPMG's in the SF role)- all on foot. I'm very pleased to say I never shot live ammo at anyone, nor had any shot at me!

I'm still getting the disconnects/fail to start I was getting in both versions of the Demo

There are small tick-boxes at the top left of both of the screens you want to get rid of. They have a red blob in them currently - if you click them the blob disappears and you never see them again!

Just in time to LOOSE 75/25 to moi in an infantry only slogging match. Did I mention how badly he lost? Did I mention 350 casualties to 50 - 50 fatals to 17 or so? And he started outnumbering me? So - if ya want a good time just play Watsoni the Geek and don't let him use any clankies! Of course it helped heaps that he hardly bought any molten TNT chuckers at all - whereas I had them by hte bucket load - hell any 2 of my 150's or medium artillery influicted more casualties on him than his entire force inflicted on me!! :eek:

Yep that worked thanks.

I can't get the gold demo started - it seizes up athte "quick start overview" If I run the overview from the programme menu then it works OK - just not when it's selected at the start of the game itself.

Is hte gold demo available? The d/load page still only lists the beta one

Thanks for htecomments Ludo - it was a rather short game wasn't it!! lol Matt - you got e-mail!!

Do we keep our pilots if we change over??

Malta and Nth Africa are almost the same place and got more votes between then than any of the others!!

That may well be the case - I haven't got my sources to hand. In any case even as unarmoured Cav they were considered shock troops.

I thought veterans tended to hit the dirt much earlier than new/green troops - the vet's knew what was coming!

1/ If there's no possible card to play then why give the player "no response" as a choice? I'd rather see a warning flash "no response possible" or similar while the animation plays for whatever is happening. 2/ there's not much point having a discard and draw phase At the end of the final turn!!
