Boroughboy Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 Now then I am sure that this has been done to death but my searches turned up nothing. Anyone know why it is that during pbem games I am not able to place orders on Every turn? Something I am doing wrong or is it just a bug? any help would be apreciated (i had a wickded anti armor ambush that my opponent fell for like a ton of bricks! problem was i couldn't order my assault teams and AT guns ot stop hiding and had to tear out my hair as i watched for tanks rumble by and out of my kill zone!) :mad: :mad: :mad: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMplayer Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 The PBEM sequence is just like that. Have a look at the manual, since it can explain how the sequence works better than I can type it off the cuff here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSColonel_131st Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 Sometimes in PBEM you can give orders, sometimes it's just a movie, and sometimes it's a movie and then you can give orders. That way you can not give orders and see the action unfold before emailing, which would enable you to try again and again until you would have the perfect turn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joques Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 Just to make one thing clear: You DO give orders every Turn. You just don't give orders every mailing. Remember: Every Turn takes three mailings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardcampa Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 Apart from the fact that CMBB must be the best PBEM game ever in the history of the world (well think about it), the encryptions and password locks on the PBEM files are awesome. This is another thing I have felt the reviewers have missed when they've reviewed CMBB. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subvet Posted April 20, 2003 Share Posted April 20, 2003 I ran into a problem today where I wasn't able to give orders on a turn. We were playing via TCP/IP and it was getting late so we decided to take it to e-mails. We watched the movie on TCP/IP and then my opponent saved the game. I didn't give any orders and didn't hit the done button. When he logged out the game shut down. When he sent me the e-mail file it was the movie for the next turn! I never got the chance to give any orders. I'm wondering if this is something anyone else has ever seen. Is this a bug? I'd definitely think twice before converting a TCP/IP game to PBEM again! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpl Carrot Posted April 20, 2003 Share Posted April 20, 2003 I have had it happen to me once and know of one other instance of it happening. Have not been able to pin down expactly why it happens. Cpl Carrot 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Visom Posted April 20, 2003 Share Posted April 20, 2003 Sounds like a bug to me. Send Madmatt a mail to make sure BFC is aware of it. Time for corrections is running out... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
