I received the turn OK from Googlie, but I can't play it. Nato2 was a bit weird - odd graphic colours and the like - but I could get through the turn. Nato1 was hopeless, tried loading it a couple of times, with a reboot inbetween, but the graphics are odd and the mouse doesn't work. Limped through, but then I couldn't save ...

I've asked Googlie for a resend in case the file was corrupted in transit. We've had a storm here tonight, with a couple of power outs, so maybe something weird happened to my machine.

I will have to consult in-house systems. Unfortunately, right now the systems department has its feet up with a beer and is watching a film. So it might have to wait a while

OK, I finally managed to play the turn. We had to reinstall the game and some other stuff though. Googlie's original file worked. Sorry about the reload messages. I did get different results this time - credits instead of a worm, which was better for me (although I killed the worm for credits last time anyhow).



2175 finally off to Big_C

2176 to Big_C. I'm starting to wonder if I'm actually seeing the graphics the way they're meant to be. I get little puffs and sparkly lights from units when they're destroyed. I'm sure it didn't look like that before ...

On the other hand, some of my land looks very odd - it's shaded like ocean squares of varying depths

[Googlie]

Too much Fungal Gin, I reckon

2177 to Misotu

[Misotu]

Heh I wish.

The land squares shaded like ocean are in fact, on closer inspection, ocean squares but coloured like land ...

We have sun spots, and no comms. How are we playing this? Absolutely no comms? No use of the comm link? Or what?

2178 to Googlie.

Apologies for the reload - game crashed on me. A couple of things changed, but only for the worse - I got 4(!) additional IoDs, and captured not one.
