lnp4668 -> PBEM with randomly generate forces (11/10/2001 5:42:00 AM) Alessandra and I attempted to play an email game using forces pick by the computer. That way, there is less of a chance for unrealistic force selection (like 2 companies of Koenigtigers ). However we are unable to set it up by email since it will not allows random force selection. We attempted to setup a hotseat game and save it and send it as a save file, however, I can't open it through the load option in hotseat. Do we have to save the file in a non secure slot in order for this to work?

skukko -> (11/10/2001 11:30:00 AM) Yes, nonsecure works for AIs purchase. It is hotseat game. To let AI do purchase is great but I am not sure if its fun. You may want to change your battle forces after you've senn hundred of Panzerfausts and two Pz-IV in -44 against 20 Bazookas and company of Shermans. AI does purchase sometimes very odd forces... mosh

Raindem -> (11/10/2001 8:09:00 PM) If you are willing to go through these lengths to have "reasonable" OOBs, wouldn't it just be easier to agree on a few simple rules as to maximum purchases? (e.g. 500 points on armor, 500 points on artillery, etc.)

Alexandra -> (11/11/2001 9:28:00 AM) lol - I only had one company of them And that was about all I had, too. First time I've ever used them and was curious about how good they were The reason I proposed a random game in the first place, between, Inp and I, is this: A commander, irl, is often judged by how well he can work when forces or the situation is not of his choice - when he's thrown into a TF command, with no warning, no time to study OOB, no time to learn anything about his troops. It might not be perfect, but it could be interesting Alex
