| I'm having the same problem with my opponents not only getting slow but just plain disappearing. We've either got them Rebs whipped or its approaching Sadie Hawkins Day Down South so they're all hiding. Now I know that I'm supposed to root for their whipping but I prefer it to be Sadie Hawkins Day '... |

| General Thompson, if you ever want to see won/lost statistics on theses battles so that you know which are a challenge and which are balanced (like the club did for the BG games), then the club needs an accurate identification for every battle. If you aren't in favor of that, then you would prefer t... |

Its back on line. It was just those Rebs gnawing at the wires again. The electrical current feels good to their gums.

| Ernie, I did my best to say that your solution wouldn't work in every circumstance but I couldn't come up with one where it didn't. Combining the scenario name from the cpf file with the knowledge that you have of your choices in the campaign in consultation with the campaign editor, resulted in a D... |

| The third line tells you basically what field that you are fighting on, but it does not always correlate with the names of the scenarios listed in the game or at the Department of Records. That leaves a big question as to which scenario that you should be registering. For example, I am currently fig... |

| I still think that it is of some importance that we register games accurately so that we can maintain won/lost statistics on them like we did with the BG series. However, since no one else seems to feel that way, then why don't we cut down on the confusion and simplify it by just registering which c... |
