Nabla Posted March 7, 2001 Share Posted March 7, 2001 Mench, you've probably just woke up, so good morning I must say that I've always admired you web design. What tool do you use, or have you done the pages by hand? One thing though: the image links did not work when I visited the pages. Excellent work. Carry on.

kipanderson Posted March 7, 2001 Share Posted March 7, 2001 Mensch, hi, Great to see the update, your site carries a lot of quality stuff. However, I have come across a bit of a problem. I downloaded both of the new DesertFox battles but when I tried to open them I got an error report. The report read words to the effect of, “7000..bits missing from .zip file. Can not open” I was not using Gozilla or any other download program, just the facility that comes with Windows ME. Sorry to cause trouble. All the best, Kip. PS. Same thing happened with both battles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterNZer Posted March 7, 2001 Share Posted March 7, 2001 That's a good idea! I will for the future. Joey Shaw should loose a battle soon, he can be my walking billboard.

Just be careful if you lose a sig battle to specify that you are allowed to keep the Der Kessel bit. ------------------ Andreas Der Kessel Home of „Die Sturmgruppe“; Scenario Design Group for Combat Mission.

Lawyer Posted March 9, 2001 Share Posted March 9, 2001 I'm interested in trying some maps, but I don't know how to use them. Do they have setup zones? How do you select and put units on the map? Also, the der Kessel maps seem quite large. Are smaller ones available with bridges and other interesting things? BTW, KiwiPete is close to final death at the hands of the Lawyer. Do you want to put your sig up for grabs? How about "I fought the law and the Lawyer won"? ------------------ You're never alone with a schizophrenic.

Lawyer, the maps are jut that maps, you can create your own setup zones and choose your own forces. Another way to use the maps is if you have a pbem'er which you want to play with and you agree on the map all you do is edit the deployment zones to your liking and save the map. since the Axis comes up first for buying troops when making your own battle, send the file to the Allied player first for him to buy his stuff, he saves the game and sends it to you (the axis player) and then you open it up and buy your troops.. save the game and open it up in battles/operations and take your side that you agreed on.. deploy your stuff and poof like a normal battle. er I hope this is making sence.. maybe germanboy can describe it better since english is my mother language and I can't write if my life counted on it (sad no?). the other option is get a third party to set up the map with forces and send you the file. germanboy? wat says you? as for the smallermaps I a have a few on the works or finished I'll have to give them to the brothers to pick and weed though to get thier approval.

Berlichtingen Posted March 9, 2001 Share Posted March 9, 2001 Originally posted by Lawyer: Also, the der Kessel maps seem quite large. Are smaller ones available with bridges and other interesting things? To add to what mensch said... You can always crop the existing maps down to a size you want (hold down the shift key to crop from the south and west edges) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
