Re: Got defeated tough I've drived them from the field!

<t>There is no objective point in this scenario !<br/> <br/> Points gained by blood, toil, tears and sweat only. Best to ditch the Divisional Commander in the rear. He gets killed too easily, bringing the scenario to an abrupt halt. TC the brigades. You have to chase the fleeing enemy relentlessly a...

Re: Got defeated tough I've drived them from the field!

<t>Curious that this post should come up today when I was mentioning the strange behaviour of La Garde in another post yesterday. <br/> <br/> They must have been at the cognac whilst waiting to be called into action and continually mistake attacking infantry for cavalry, form square and eventually g...

Illogical Forming into Square

<t>In the La Garde Recule scenario, I am puzzled by the antics of La Garde regiments who seem routinely to form squares even when there is not a horse in sight. Surely this should not be so ? You are losing three-quarters of your firepower by standing in square against infantry in line.<br/> <br/> I...

Re: Pronunciation guide

<t>Remember Strasbourg has the historical Germanic attributes of that region of France and indeed the language at grass-roots level is a German dialect (same as spoken in the Black Forest just across the Rhine.)<br/> <br/> Quite possible that someone from that area might have his own slant on French...

Re: Things that should be in the first patch...

<r>Rather than clutter up the screen with courier messages,why not include a "text to speech' option to read them out loud ? In real life a staff officer would <B><s>[b]</s>tell<e>[/b]</e></B> the commander what the message said. He would not peruse every piece of grubby paper himself.<br/> <br/> Yo...

Re: Download Woes

<t>Glory Hallelujah<br/> <br/> Finally got a good install file loaded down at 2.45 AM this morning. The Download Manager worked fine ..... Firefox is proven quite useless for large files.<br/> <br/> All seemed OK except I got a lockup the first time I invoked the Modification Screen.<br/> <br/> Will...

Re: Download Woes

<t>I just remember. It was 'Free Download Manager' that Mike recommended.<br/> <br/> Better still, I found a working version still lurking amongst the sludge at the bottom of Windows 7.<br/> <br/> Will use it tonight and hope to be on the field in support tomorrow.'Up Guards and at them !'<br/> <br/...

Re: Download Woes

<t>Hi Reb Bugler,<br/> <br/> Thanks for the reply. No it really was 526 even though the file was incomplete. Still 526 after the whisky. I thought it strange too.<br/> <br/> Satellite is my only option here ........ don't even have a landline out here in the bondooks. Lovely views, lovely air, can a...

Re: Download Woes

<t>After a couple of revivers last night, it dawned upon me that I had had troubles in the past downloading large files satisfactorily via Firefox.<br/> <br/> I recall that I subsequently acquired a good download program recommended by someone on the forum, Mike Slaunwaite probably (Have I got the s...
