Napoleonic Wargame Club (NWC)

Dear messires

My best wishes to you all on this new year.

I want to post an open question and request some feedback If I may
First, I want to point out that Im quite new to multiplayer HPS
I entered the Multiplayer SON Tourney and am currently playing Round 1(my first Multiplayer match)

It was all going great UNTIL I FOUND OUT

In a 2 vs 2 battle only the FIRST player of the team gets to see the replay? (enemy movement and shooting??)

Being the second player every turn, I cant see anything!

Am I doing something wrong?
SURELY THERE IS a way for the second team player to SEE what the opponent does..

How am I suppossed to play If I cannot see enemy moves and more importantly, the damage inflicted upon my forces each turn?

Thank you all in advance!

P.S.- Oh and about the club´s internal political turmoil.. I believe the NWCs cabinet SHOULD STAY-
This Club needs internal structure and hard work to run.
As Benito Juárez used to say:
Men come and go.. but institutions remain.

Fernando, Salute!

It is quite easy to remedy this situation, sir.

Simply tell your opponent's to include you in the transfer of files.
That way you will see the replay every turn.
Your team should have a predetermined order for who takes the first turn (you are second it seems).
Then, you wait for your partner to send you his copy of the file containing his movements, and then you make your movements.
Be sure to send a file not advanced back so your partner can see what you have done.
Then, usually the last player to move sends the advanced file to the opponents.

Does this make sense?

Regards,

Fernando, you can actually mix up the order in which you and your partner execute your respective parts of the turn. When Andy and I played together, we would often mix our order of execution based on who could simply get to it first depending on when we received the turn. The reason for this was our different habits of what time of day we could usually execute our turns and the difference in our time zones. We maintained an extremely impressive turnaround rate back then.

The important thing is that whenever one team sends a BTE file to the other team, the email with the file should go to all players in the game. This lets all players on the sending team know that the file has been sent, and allows all players on the receiving team the opportunity to watch the Battle Replay.

My question is were is my team mate or is this also a forfeit?????

I am a bit upset that the Russian Cliff was paired with never followed through....
