  1. I've posted more in the last 30 days than in the previous 122 months and still average less than one post every five months since joining.

    I've no idea why I'm posting in a thread about wine...

    I can do better (worse?).

    I'm averaging one post every 7 months.

    Less than that actually if you include the two years i lurked prior to actually joining.

  2. With vista, i had both CMAK and CMBB running in a resolution that was stretched out to fill the widescreen on my laptop (1600x900).

    I upgraded to Win7 and now none of the screen resolution options i'm given fill the screen but instead run with the black bars on the sides. Is there any way of forcing it to fill the screen or do i just have to live with it as it is?

  3. Just purchased the game today and still exploring so i'm sure i'll have a few dumb questions in the days ahead.

    For starters; I'm certain i read somewhere that SC2:blitzkrieg could be played by up to 6 players.

    Is that correct?

    Is a 6 player PBEM possible? If so, how? I assume instead of ending the turn, you would have to save the game and send the file to your teammate?

    Call me insane, but PBEM IS the single most important feature... No matter how great the game, it is still just a vehicle to compete head-to-head with other human beings... I have played some marginal games just because they allowed PBEM...

    Amen! There are over 1000 members (including myself) of the Combat Mission ladder at the Blitzkrieg Wargaming Club that would agree with that sentiment.
  5. At one time, i've had 18 games going simultaneously....a mix of BO and BB against guys at the Blitzkrieg club.

    But it was too much and led to my suffering from burnout....taking the summer off from wargaming and finding other hobbies helped renew my desire to play again. It wasn't long before i felt the withdrawal symptoms.

    I think about 6 to 10 games is right for me.

    BTW, theblitz.org is a great place to find opponents to PBEM with, although it keeps a permanent record of your wins and losses....in my case more of the latter. smile.gif

    I seem to be dealing with a lot of lock ups when playing vs. the AI. Can't get past the computer player thinking screen as the bar moves about an inch and after 3-4 minutes I'm rebooting. I updated all drivers, turned off all startup programs & my AV.

    I did manage to play 11 turns as a PBEM vs myself, but then the same situation happened again, no activity in the blue bar for a long period and I'm rebooting once more... :mad:

    :confused: :confused: :confused:

    Please help Dev get his game to run so i can kick the hell out of him at PBEM. smile.gif

    Dev, it must be you. Mine runs beautifully on WinXP. I'm about 13 turns through the citadel scenario. Awesome running into a KV-1s.
