Okay, call me thick. How do I determine which QB map name to change if I can't open file002? I don't know which QB map I'm using in the QB!

Sigh-- what to do about PBEM 2.0 QB's? I've got a number of 002 files that I get stuck at5%. The work around seems to be set only for scenario PBEM's. Any word on a hotpatch for this issue?

Make sure you watch movie: The longest Day before your trip. Then, after your stay in Caretan, mosy on over to the Pegasus Bridge: http://www.memorial-pegasus.org/mmp/musee_debarquement/index.php?lang=uk The museum is pretty neat, and getting to check out a HORSA glider is a VERY cool thing. then, go to the first Cafe liberated in France -- the one on the western end of the Bridge: the Gondree Cafe. For me, understanding the sheer size of the the attack didn't happen until I drove from the Ouistreham to Ste. Mère-Eglise. It's a long way indeed by car.

Um... Saint Aubin Sur Mer. Courseuelle is two towns to the west.

It seems so much easier to simply move my mouse and click.....

Check out: http://www.junobeach.org/Centre/index.html Visit Courseulle sur Mer and check out the 57mm AT gun still in its bunker on the beach. There is a picture in the book mentioned above that shows that same bunker, gun and beach with some sort of Allied fighter crashed on the beach. During your travels, look for metal bits of the temporary airfields the allies set up inland from the beaches -- their were a 4 or 5 airfields used within the first 10 klicks off inland. You can occassionally see some of the metal bits from the airfields are used for farmers fencing as you drive inland. if you want a truly epic place to stay, I suggest booking this 1 bedroom condo on Juno Beach. The bunker is a 200 m walk along the seawall. http://www.airbnb.com/rooms/86088 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beny-sur-Mer_Canadian_War_Cemetery http://www.cwgc.org/search-for-war-dead.aspx?cpage=1&sort=name&order=asc http://www.musee-arromanches.fr/accueil/?lang=uk This is a must. My wife and I visited for 2 days in June 2011. I'm happy to tell you about our experience.

43 ...and getting more curmudgeonly by the week.

Yep, same issue for me..... my company commander who called in the arty gets kiad just as the first spotting round comes in. 12 minutes later and I'm still seeing the odd spotting round coming in miles from the FFE zone. Meanwhile, I'm getting shellaced by advancing bratwurst. PBEM game...:eek::eek::eek:
