What do I need to do and know in order to play a game by email/ forum?

Larry Harris wrote some great “Reports from the front” last year before A&A1914 was released. They helped me very much to learn and understand the specific rules and settings of the new game.

My question is, are there any similar reports for A&A classic or A&A50? Maybe somebody else did write this kind of reports with detailed actions?

Thanks!

Re: How to know when to buy air as GermanyI remember one game I won as the axis I used the sub push tactic and built nothing but subs Germany had like 7 subs and 3 bombers for support and wiped out the English navy in the 1942 edition and japan had closed in on Russia and scared the Americans with 9 subs out of the pacific so it was a great game for the axis

Thank you.

Generaly you can select casualties for your opponent (take infantry before artillery, artillery before tanks …)

If there is a question (attacking sub gets 1 hit on a defending transport and a sub), then save the game when it is your opponents turn to select casualties, exit the game, and mail the saved game file to your opponent (this works better in 0.8.2 than earlier versions).  Your opponent can open the saved game, select casualties, and continue the battle.

If this is the old CD game, what may help is disconnecting from the internet. That happened to me (loading up for one player) but when I disconnected the ethernet cable, it worked fine. By the way, if the thing does start working, SAVE FREQUENTLY!

The game does freeze your comp. occasionly and it sometimes right when your about to win :evil: ! Don’t know why it does it but there are “pathes” to fix it…

thanks cystic crypt

@Commisar:

do they have rules for teams

There is no special rules for multi player game touranments, you’d just have to find enough people.
