Well, he didn't quite say so explicitly. He asked me if I was the one chomping at the bit to playtest the Ukraine game, and I said that was actually my friend Rob, but that I was interested as well. (I mentioned that I'm more into EOTS Mediterranean, but realize that may be further down the line.) But no confirmation or further instructions as of yet! |

Hey chief, Back from my quick trip over to the East Coast, nice to see family and friends for a quick minute, my folks will be visiting very soon for T-day! I reconstructed our game file and uploaded to the Dropbox--I did my best to recreate everything, including your most recent move, but please take a look and confirm. The situation in Burma and NG/Solomons is sufficiently complex that I'm sure I missed something. I also recreated the original scenario file, but obviously you don't need that. I think Mark did respond re: RTT, and his answer was that it's not up to him and sounds like we'd need to talk to GMT directly. But I'm already bugging him about this 42-44 project, so I'll leave the RTT advocacy to you... I have a strong suspicion it will make it on there someday, but you've seen the forum and all the clamor from fans wanting to get their favorite game(s) on the site. Could be a long while... Thanks, K |

Hey commander, I'm very sorry to hear Debbie is sick, I hope it's nothing serious and she feels better soon! No worries on any gaming, and even at your "reduced" state you are still ahead of me, I believe I also owe you a move in Wilderness War! I'm actually traveling to the East Coast myself tomorrow and Friday for a labor lawyers' meeting so will be even less on the ball than usual. On the upside, I got a very nice email from Mark asking me to send him the scenario files! So the project has legs and our playtesting is not in vain. Unfortunately the new game file still has the AZOI issue, it is not your machine or anything you did, or even anything I did, I think it's the reverse compatibility of the VASSAL mods with old save files. I am patiently recreating the original scenario in the new version of the mod, and then I'll recreate our game file. This is one instance where it's nice to have the cards stored in ACTS because obviously that would be very tricky to fix. Best wishes to everyone, I will let you know when I get some new files uploaded... Thanks, K |

Hey K. Please let me know what I can do. Lots of crap going on over here, and I’m afraid my gaming proclivities have suffered. Debbie has been sick, but is now on the mend, so will be heading to NY to see the boys. I’ve been sneaking off to fly when the weather permits, but that will be shutdown for a week, as Corgis come first (second, third, etc…) So, let me know what I can do on my end. Will get caught up with all moves. I think I need to update VASSAL, so let me try that, then resend last file to see if that fixes things? |

Hey man, I'm working on recreating our game files in the new module; as it stands the AZOI for JP reinforcement units just won't appear correctly for me in our old file no matter what I do. I reloaded the original 42-44 scenario .vsav file and it's the same problem, so I think I actually need to recreate the original scenario file, and then a version of our current game. This will take me a minute! |
