[CMBO:Like the game, but would like better...]

I don't know where these archives spoken of are, so I'm probably going to get blamed for bringing up a dead topic but, two emails once you are started:

Allied player:

enters password.

Watches movie of turn 1

Enters allied turn 2 orders

Sends

{

turn 1 movie

Turn 1 game state

Allies turn 2 orders

}

Axis player

enters password

Watches turn 1 movie

Enters axis turn 2 orders.

computes turn 2 movie and turn 3 game state

but like now is not alowed to watch movie

send

{

turn 2 movie

turn 3 game state

}

Allied player:

enters password

watches turn 2 movie

enters turn 3 orders

send

{

turn 2 movie

turn 3 game state

Allies turn 3 orders

}

axis player:

eners password

watches turn 2 movie

enters axis turn 3 orders

compute but not watch turn 3 movie

and turn 4 gamestate

send

{

turn 4 gamestate

turn 3 movie

}

and so forth.

If you assume neither player breaks the passwords

( which you have to assume with current system too.) then, I can't see how either player can do anything more than oops I lost my email and hope the opposing player didn't keep a copy. Even so this would seldom help that player any more than the other.

Two emails (1 exchange ) per turn. Both players get same apperance of see last turn, make next orders on every email.

Why not?

Seems like the quick battle with human unit

selection should allow both humans to see the

map prior to selection. Scenarios that allowed

human unit selection would be nice as well.

Three emails to complete a turn. Can't see

any reason that it couldn't be done in two other

than it would make the programers have to reorder

some stuff. See results of previous move,

compose next move and send.

Vehicle speed and acceleration don't seem to be

affected by grade. Seems like I should be able

race down a hill and struggle to go back up it.

Infantry should be similarly affected, but

probably not speed as much as fatigue. Perhaps

this happens but from the scenarios I've played

It's not clear.

Escape key shouldn't minimize program. It should

behave like spacebar.

Selecting a unit path should select the unit.

If I run a group of vehicles to a distant

location and then want to fine tune their

positions at the end I have to keep panning back

to the start location to select the unit then to

the destination to make the adjustment.

Trails of open ground where a forest transitions

to scattered trees, and most other terrain transitions

doesnt make sense. (Other than open ground

graphics being easier to glue together.)
