It may work against a brain dead Newbie, but don't try it against the Big Boys. They will eat you alive.

SandCastle in Pennsylvania has Comcast and he can host. I have to look into this. I don't understand why Comcast, metro Detroit can't host.

Player kenfedoroff signs up for SC Ladder.

I forgot to mention I am Newbie and would not clutter up upper reaches of SC Ladder.

I finally called my internet service provider (Comcast) about my trouble with hosting games.
They said: I can't host games. Period. End of story.
My Question is this: Can I join SC Ladder if I can't host?
I know this would be an inconvenience for all my opponents, (they would always have to edit game for bid). But it would not be a serious problem unless I had to play someone else who could not host.
As many strong SC on-line players move to the Ladder, I would miss out on getting pulverised by these people. I might even last a few turns longer if I was spotted some points as Allies.

I don't see SC located here even before I use uninstall from programs. Maybe it's another Windows ME thing. No matter, as long as the other way works.Originally posted by Hubert Cater:...You can also use the Control Panel->Add/Remove Programs (although it won't show up there if you have already used the above uninstall icon).
Hope this helps,

When I right-clicked on ISP icon it said: "properties not available".Originally posted by Hubert Cater:...you can check this by going to My Network Places and Viewing Your Network Connections. From there you should see an icon that represents your ISP network connection. If you right-click on it and select properties and then the advanced tab, you should see if the Internet Connection Firewall has been set.
Hope this helps,

I called the cable company (Comcast, metro Detroit area) and was told I could not host games. Period. End of story.
For the purpose of security, this is not allowed.
It had nothing to do with any firewall I might have.
I thought this was strange because I thought I played against a comcast member in another state, who was kind enough to host.

What do you mean every 3-4 months? More like every single turn. C'mon Man, lets crush these Nazi's.Originally posted by Immer Etwas:ADD the following: every once in while, perhaps 3-4 months, there would be a random flagship convoy ship that would represent, oh, 50-150 MPPs.

Thanks for sharing, what is for me, "new" information.Originally posted by paullus:I've been a student of WWII for quite some time (as I assume most of us are) & have been reading a lot of new material coming out of the former Soviet Union that points a new spin on a lot of previous information that was accepted as fact here in the west.[/QB]
I have been too busy playing computer games and making smart remarks in the Forum to be bothered with the research of the "Why" and "Wherefore" of SC.
Sincerely, everyone's knowledge and research is appreciated.
Sincerely, speaking for myself, I appreciate it when someone shares new material that might be of interest to me.I'm at work at the moment & don't have access to my source material, but when I return home I can certainly put some teeth into my arguments.
This and the movement of machine tools from threatened areas could be factored into SC.The wholesale conversion of civilian factories in the same areas also helped, and contributed to the awful state of the Soviet people outside of the military.
As a side note: I recall the stories the skilled tradesmen from our company told about installing an assembly line in the Soviet Union in 1975.It was not until the 1960's that Soviet civilian production returned to pre-1941 levels.They said it was like going back in time to the year 1919.
OK, I have scribbled enough now,

I wonder if carriers will take less damage on the attack (as long as they are not adjacent to defender) in SC2 in this case. Or perhaps inflict more damage because the target is sitting still?Originally posted by John DiFool:Now, a Taranto-like raid on a harbor, using air assets, is an entirely different thing...

Another stupid question:
How do I know if I have a firewall?
It's possible my internet service provider has this on my machine, but how would I know? There must be a way of finding this out.
Ken

Sorry for the stupid questions, but I don't know much about computers and software.
I select programs, strategic command, uninstall SC, (and then it goes through the motions of uninstall).
But when I look in "program files", there is the SC folder with what appears to be all the goodies still in the folder.
When I try: settings, install/delete software, SC is not one of the defaults for windows to uninstall.
I have Windows ME for what it's worth.
I like to uninstall/install game/patch(v1.06) when I have a rash of lock-ups and/or connection problems. Now I am wondering if I am doing a proper uninstall.
Any ideas besides "Get a job and quit playing SC all damn day"?
Sincerely,

I have had trouble hosting SC on my computer. Is it OK to join the SC Ladder if I can't host? I am not a computer/software expert. I am at a loss as to what to do about hosting problem. Heck, I am still having lock-ups when I hit "quit" button.Originally posted by zappsweden:kenfedoroff, anyone is welcome. Just tell me u want to join and i will sign you up.

Sounds good to me. I could buy more corps to throw underneath the tracks of the Panzers.Originally posted by SeaWolf_48:In our beloved game, SC, once the Germans conquer a city the Russians blow it up, Boom! But in actual fact, they moved their machines, bricks, conduits, wires, and pipes to the Urals, and then rebuilt the Plant again. As a Russian player you lose the precious MPP's, instead for regaining them a few months later...........

Good question.. Are they trying to clear out the Baltic so the Soviets can send help to England in its darkest hour, if the Axis try Sea-Lion?Originally posted by John DiFool:I have seen this attempted in several AARs that I have seen lately (Allies trying to sink German Navy in Baltic)...my question is: what exactly do the Brits gain out of all this...?
Ken

Are Newbie's allowed?
I have been pulverised by just about everybody but this looks interesting and fun.
Or is there a separate division for cannon fodder?

I was curious why you left the French out of the bid? Is it because 130 MPP's for France as well as the other Major Powers was just too much of a handicap?Originally posted by zappsweden:I am currently playing a USA+UK+Russia handicap game versus Heuristic. Try it if you want to even out the Axis advantage!
In my game vs Heuristic, the bid landed on 130 MPP (my bid). Since he accepted the bid, he was Allies and with a starting bonus of 130 MPP for USA,UK and Russia EACH.
If I had my choice, (in taking the Allied bid) I would dump Russia from the bid in exchange for France, simply because 130 MPP's are HUGE in Sept. 1939 compared to June 1941.
I think Rambo's idea for bid/play balance is a good idea and I am just curious how it is being implemented.
Thanks to everybody for helping make SC even more fun.

There was a bright flash of light, followed by a humming sound....A small, saucer shaped craft had materialized in my yard.
A humanoid emerged from within, approached me and said, "I am from the planet Toronto."
"On our planet, we aggavate ourselves by connecting with the contents of this disc".
With that, he handed to me the disc of SC and said "Try this,.. kid".
The rest, as they say, is history.

I am still having random lock-ups, for what it's worth.

Will this tournament include Rambo's idea of "bidding" for what side you will play? I like this idea for play-balance and I was curious if this will be incorporated.

And another thing. Fix the Suez Canal so transports and warships can travel in either direction.
This will teach you to let me scribble in your forum, ha!

I couldn't believe it when I read that Rambo took back Canada and did not get a "capture bonus", (plunder) as well as the MPP's for owning the cities. Is this for real?
If this is true, then "Lame-O" Award for Hubert.
