Hi, I haven't been able to find this question in any thread so perhaps I'm being overly pedantic in reading the flavour text. I don't have the exact phrasing, but the Germans get a dialogue box on turn two of the 1939 scenario indicating that "Axis Surface Raiders may now raid costal waters"? The text goes on to indicate that all available shipping should raid supply routes and to "mine" the harbours of Halifax, Melbourne, etc. What exactly is mining the harbour and how does one do it? I've placed my surface ships in the locations where the freighter symbol is and it diminishes the resources in that location. (e.g. 31,31 by trinidad). Is this what is meant by "mining", or is there some other special function available to certain ships (or under certain conditions)? TIA, Ryddle

Interested in Scen's or QB's... any size. I'm a slut. Feel free to throw one together and just email it to me if interested. reade AT ryddle D0T com cheers, -r

Well Kirk, got trust issues? thanks for the answers everyone.

I'm not sure if it will help Hubert, but my opponent on this game (Ken) was mentioning that he wasn't, and isn't prompted for a password. Cheers, -Reade

On it's way....

The new zip file worked however I was surprised at the application just disappearing without it throwing an error indicating an invalid file. Hopefully we won't have to only use .zip. Cheers, -Reade

Hello, I have a problem where trying to load a PBEM file, the SC application dies without any feedback whatsoever. Any help that you can provide would be helpful. Thanks, Reade Version. SC 1.06 Platform: Win XP professional Problem: When entering password for Axis, the application dies and just *poof* disappears without any messages. No event viewer details/logs File: ReadeVSKen-002.sav (available on request) Tests: 1. Loaded up file. When prompted for password, entered password and application dies. 2. Loaded file. When prompted for password, entered wrong passwords. I get a failed login. When finally enter valid password, app fails. 3. Created test of new PBEM game and tested cycling through turns. All works well. 4. Reapplied patch 1.06 and re-ran test 1. with same results. 5. Overwrote file in PBEM directory and tested from received email. Same results. Is this an application error, invalid (garbled) file, etc?

Great, I got your email Ken and I'll send you a move tonight. Thanks for the tip about the opponent finder, I never noticed it before. Cheers, -Reade

Hi all, I ended picking up SC b/c I've been on a bunch of evil business trips lately and my laptop can't handle CMBB/CMBO... and I'm quite enjoying SC. I've only played 4 or 5 full versions of the 'full-meal deal' starting with axis attack on Poland. And I'm interested in hooking up a PBEM or two. Anyone who is interested, drop me a line. I can usually manage 1 turn per day. Thanks, Reade (aka Ryddle) btw, I have no clue what is considered 'gamey' in SC. If you are in for a PBEM, please let me know what is/isn't in scope for game play. I'm very new, but know that people can get quite riled when they believe that one isn't representing 'historical' accuracy (according to their views).

Section 3-4 Guys, Sorry for the delay... I'm back from my business trip and I should have my life together enough tonight to pick up where we left off. Don't you hate it when life gets in the way of CMBB? Thanks, Reade (aka Ryddle)

Guys, just a quick update. I've been called out of the office to a customer site for a week starting tomorrow. I won't be back until Feb 5th. I won't be able to process any turns during that period. Thanks, Reade (aka Ryddle) [ January 27, 2003, 08:51 PM: Message edited by: ryddle ]

Section 3-4 guys... i think that's my section. We've had a slight emergency at work, so I'll be unavailable to reply to turns for 3 or 4 days. Sorry for the delay gents. Thanks, -Ryddle

Update, Thurs, Jan 9th # Rear_Guard_Action Joe_Cz vs Ryddle (Battle is under way) # Hosszupalyi Ryddle vs Space_Hamster (Waiting for File) # The_Beast Ryddle vs SuperSlug (Battle under way) # The_Christmas_Battle Frenchy vs Ryddle (file sent) # King_Of_Debrecen Deadly 88 vs Ryddle (I need to get this off... tomorrow) Cheers, -r

Treeburst, do you have an example or template of an AAR that is of a good size and has the right content? e.g. something from a previous ROW toruney perhaps? I've seen plenty of AAR's of varying complexity, but an example of what you & the design team consider helpful would be... ummm... helpful. Many thanks! -Ryddle

Did a comm check with Tourney 3, Section 4. Souljah1 mentioned that he has to drop out... The other fella's are on line but no response from Frenchy yet (understandable b/c I only posted the e-mails yesterday and it's the silly season) Looking forward to the start of the tourney. -R Section 4 Souljah1, souljah1@lanset.com SuperSlug, TheSuperSlug@rogers.com Joe Cz, joecz@warwick.net Frenchy, skdixon@bellsouth.net Space Hamster, kimmo.karjala@kotinet.com Ryddle, reade@ryddle.com

Got it in Victoria yesterday. I was in such a rush i just ripped it open and grabbed the book & CD. I didn't notice anything from Canada Customs. I better find that package and find out lest they try to take it back. (I'd like to see them try though) -r

if only we could bribe canada customs to expidite CMBB... -r

What a beautiful web site. Good work!

No worries, I just missed your posting about being delayed. Two months, eh? Cool! (I'm a new father myself, and I still think it's cool (and exhausting, oh sooooo exhausting!) )

Kuma? It's been several weeks now... lost to the temptation of CMBB? So.... umm... you have a turn for me? Many apologies if I missed a posting about a vacation or somefink. -r

https://www.combatmission2.com/cgi-bin/quikstore.pl returns a CGI error. -r

Depending on the context, I would also consider targeting a 81mm FO to land smoke around the KT. Then use your lighter and quicker assets and get into position. Of course, if he's in a keyhole position, or just exposed from one, he can reverse and this approach won't help too much. Again, depends on the context.... -r

Thanks for the tips guys. -r

Ok, ok, I don't have a technical problem per se, however I want to avoid one. It turns out that through a little bit of happenstance (i.e. begging the wife) that I will be able to upgrade my home-office PC on September 20th...or whenever CMBB arrives. My question is. What video card should I get? I've heard of problems with not being able to see fog with some cards drivers, etc. i.e. what is used at BFC so the developers know that they have everything working %100? Hell, I might as well go all out, I just have to be able to do 1600x1200 @ >100Hz for when I code, and around the same for CMBB. Any suggestions? TIA, -R

Oh my, please, oh please! could you send a copy to reade@ryddle.com thx, -r
