Nato Unravelled 1, third thread

[big_canuk]

Hi Guys:

I got the original sends, and the resend from Misotu. I still haven't found a couple of hours to play NU1. I would hate to start it, and have to save in the middle with a reload msg. I got a few small turns played today, so only NUs and one other left to play. Hopefully tommorrow. Sorry for the delay, but RL comes first!

'64 and '95 to Tau ... finally.

Sorry for the delay. Still busy, but I'll try to give these games higher priority. They got the short stick this time. Sorry again.

[Tau Ceti]

Turns received, but I am going away this weekend and will not be able to play them until Sunday evening at the earliest. Sorry about the delay.

[Tau Ceti]

2195 and 2164 to Googlie.

[Misotu]

Nato2, 2164 is finally off to Big_C. For some reason I can't save new game files in XFire on the laptop (though I can in vanilla SMAC). I can only overwrite old ones (which came as a bit of a surprise I only tried overwriting to prove to myself that I hadn't done something strange with directory permissions (or whatever they're called in DOS) ... Still, I think this is OK now.

Mis:

I always overwrite the old game in all my PBEMs - seems to me it's that much more efficient. Hit save & exit, bring up old gamesave, delete, change year, save, zip, send. (only problem is you can never resend the turn without replaying it if for some reason the current save is corrupt)

Hi Googlie, yeah you're right. Anyway, I don't have the space at the moment to keep old turns. I was mostly concerned about it because it indicates a problem with the installation - and this time round, sure enough, I could not save the turn at all when I got to the end. I've reinstalled SMAX, tested it on a completed turn of another crossfire game a few times. It appears to be fine now, saves correctly every time. So apologies for the reload message and 2195 is off to Big_C, finally.

NU2 2166 to Tau.

[Googlie]

NU1 status?

[big_canuk]

67 and 96 to Tau. Sorry for the delay on NU1

[Tau Ceti]

2196 and 2167 to Googlie.

I got the interceptor crash again in NU1, hence the reload.

[Googlie]

2196 to Misotu

[big_canuk]

NU2 2168 to Tau. Glad to see my interceptors are crashing Tau.

[Misotu]

Go Tau 2196 to Big_C.

[big_canuk]

NU2 2170 to Tau. What is the status of NU1. I sent it with NU2 to Tau on 9/13. I'll do a resend, just in case.
