Mac & PC?

[colonel hurst]

Can you play a PBEM game where one person is using a Mac and the other person is using a PC?

[Durk]

I do not know, do you wish to check this out by trying to play a game?

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.

Hi Durk and fusileer, if either one of you would like to send me turn one from a PC, I will see if it will work. 1861 w/Kentucky preferably. Send to rj.cook@live.com

Hi guys!

It's not recommended to post the email due to spammers. If I were you, I would edit it. Delete it as soon as possible. Next time you should use a private message.

this is copy of my reply to another post on same topic.

Uncross your fingers my friend - the PBEM between MAC and PC works according to my test performed this sunny Sunday morning here in Colorado before my little boy wakes up! You can let your friend know and get to playing with him.

I started game as host on PC side with Shiloh as campaign. Followed the manual's PBEM instructions and did two turns with the MAC side not-host as Confederates. Transfer files (.trn and .ord) worked fine and I checked to ensure my orders as confederate were carried out by union host when game turn was played there and I got it back.

I am pretty sure I did not miss anything - never did PBEM before...

Sorry I did not see your request to test this earlier - hope this helps get you and your friend playing a great game!
