ORIGINAL: Taygeta thanks Roy. So how is it determined where one is on the ladder? IS there a point system? Yes I am waiting with anticipation for ATG. What I'm wondering is whether there is something major that I'm missing because i have yet to have so much trouble beating an AI, and if i am missing something then I will never stand a chance against a thinking human with the strategic and tactical skills that most of you on this forum seem to posses. In North Africa scenario i can't stand and fight without getting chewed to pieces and if i run far enough to prepare a proper defense, which seems somewhat historically correct, the scenario does to allow enough time for counter attack which will require retaking almost the entire map. Isn't one of the key parts of any defensive battle plan the counter attack, with time enough to carry it out? Peace, Tay I don't think anyone plays a on ladder system any longer, if they ever did in AT. The ladder system is a way to rank and challenge players at a specific scenario or game mod. Personally speaking I never liked ladders or the types of personalities that they seemed to attract. I'm in it for the fun and as a pastime. I do try hard to win but it's not about winning per se for me. I often lose and I still have a great time while losing. In a few games I got a little upset because the winners wanted to quit too soon, before the "final battle" to take my last city. Funny I suppose, but that's just me. In fact I think most games tend to wrap up due to consensus long before I'd like them to. In general with AT, it's PBEM and vs. AI. If you want to PBEM, post a message in the opponenets wanted section or PM someone to see if they are interested. I've got 3 going right now, two relatively light ones that are in essence mod developmant games and one 'long player' that goes real slowly becuase there are now 8 people circling around the game file. There was 9 but that position was consoldiated.
