Thankyou soooo much for testing this! I'll inform my friend and I'm sure there will be a copy on order within minutes of him getting the email

fusileer2002

Thanks Micheal! It will be great to find out. The only issue I can forsee is if the two versions arent quite patched the same, but I dont see it making it unplayable, just maybe some odd results. Anyway, i have my fingers crossed...

fusileer2002

Good idea! But its not my money that will be buying the Mac version, and if we cant play pbem he wont be a happy chappy

fusileer2002

Well if anyone else knows if you can play pbem Mac and PC together please let me know.

fusileer2002

Has anyone yet tried running a pbem game with one person using a Mac and the other a PC? Does it work? I have a frined with a Mac whod love to get the game so we could play against each other, but I cant find this info out anywhere.

fusileer2002

Hi Micheal

Are you able to test if its possible to play a multiplayer game where one person runs a Mac and the other a Windows machine? I havent been able to find this out yet.

fusileer2002

Hi Colonel, did you receive the files ok? Did the game work?

fusileer2002

Ok files sent, lets hope it works.

fusileer2002

Has anyone tried this yet? I'd like to find out as I have a friend who will buy the Mac version if this works. I have a PC so if anyone with the Mac version wishes to try it out let me know.

fusileer2002

Is it possible to play a pbem game where one player uses the PC version and the other runs it on a Mac? Are the turn and order files compatible?

Fusileer- I have the newest windows, not vista. The problem i was having was that once the patch was installed, i wouldnt be able to start up the game because it would give me a message saying to reenter my serial key. No matter how many times i re-entered it, it still wouldnt work. Vista, Windows ...

fusileer2002

I had this problem with an AEGOD game - I cant remember whether it was ACW or WIA though, its been a while since I installed them. Basically it was the Vista security that was causing problems. After disabling the User Account Control or whatever its called the game and patch installed fine and acce...

Fleets do also have a % chance to avoid detection from the fort when running past, increased I believe if the admiral in charge of the fleet has a trait that helps. I think Farragut has "Fort Runner" or something as his trait. You will occasionally see in the reports " x Fleet has bypassed the defen...

fusileer2002

I think forts work well as they are. Yes they can be used to slow up a Northern invasion and block waterways (as they were originally intended to) but can also prove to be massive drain. A large garrison in a fort is worthless if the enemy bypasses that fort, and then all those men and guns will be ...

Mopheus' PC is having trouble at the moment. Hopefully he'll have it back online soon. There were quite a few developments since the last update in here but hopefully he'll pop back in to update you all - I dont want to ruin the suspense

That AAR basically taught me how to play properly in pbem and was also the inspiration for me doing my first AAR also. Have played a few games since then. Hmm perhaps I should do another.

fusileer2002

That is strange. I never experiened that before ... ever. I've sent gunboats and ironclads up and down that coast. I'm perplexed. I have just seen this in my current game (also in previous ones). I'm not sure its a bug exactly. When I drag the rebel fleet containing both shallow and deep draught ve...

fusileer2002

I'll play Morpheus. I dont have time at the moment to do my own AAR but am happy for you to. Heres a link to the one I did when first starting out on pbem. http://www.ageod-forum.com/showthread.php?p=161961&posted=1#post161961 Both of us have learned a lot about the game since then and we are still ...

I had something similar in my last couple of pbem games as the Union. Depots and captured places on the Gulf coast received hardly any supply per turn despite having what i thought was a fairly strong naval supply pool. Places on the Atlantic coast didnt seem to suffer the same. Alas i dont have the...

fusileer2002

I have played the demo, and although it was similar enough to the previous game to jump straight in, I really like some of the changes. For example, being able to "sidestep" line formations makes setting up positions so much easier. As for replay value, I can only offer my own opinion and that is mu...

fusileer2002

I might have to purchase this, I loved the Second Manassas game and Sid Meirs Gettysburg, and this seems to be the best of both! Multiplayer is just too good to miss

fusileer2002

I have had this same situation too in my recent pbem game. As long as the NM seems to go to the deserving side, which it did for us, I'm not too worried about the report text.

fusileer2002

Hi In the last few games I've played I have stationed several forces along river banks or on coastal areas with artillery so they can hopefully bombard passing ships. If its a force I intend to leave there I wait until it has reached the required entrenchment level then like to put it on sentry mode...

fusileer2002

Nope, all the doing of the evil empire (microsoft). And Gray thanks for that tip, I hadnt thought of that. I bet that might help with some of the old games I try to play on Vista too.

fusileer2002

I found this thread after reinstalling Vista and couldnt see my savegame files for love nor money, even though I could load up the saves ok. So thanks to the OP for saving me some bother :thumbsup: Now a "fix" for this for anyone wanting the saves to appear in the Saves folder where they should be. ...

fusileer2002

Now that would be a challenge! I'll have to see if we still have that save, I think we both cleared everything out when we started the new game.

fusileer2002

Thanks for the request! We've already started another game, me playing the CSA again. Its going to be harder this time round as we've both learned a lot. I'm not sure if I'll write an AAR on this one. But after this game we're going to switch sides and I'll play the Union - and then I certainly will...

Early July '62 Political wrangling continues! First, Trouvere calls a Union Blockade which goes slightly in my favour. Then I declare a Cotton Embargo which goes heavily against me. I think the net loss to FI was about -20. Slaughter in the West Grant is finally forced into a corner. In Missouri Va...
