Hello Kristian and Steve!



Greetings Leo! Are you adjusting well to married life?


I hope I am Steve...


Translation: Wife unit isnt here to tell me what the correct answer is.


Shame on you Yuri!

Yuri, it will change the DNS on your PC regardless of what DNS service you use does for that entry...


In other words, the site is still there but its but being referred to correctly?


Yep... the MatixGames site is still where it was but they forgot to renew the 10 year lease and new "placeholder" DNS propagated through Internet... many ISPs now have wrong IP address for www.matrixgames.com - the only "easy" way is to manually enter the correct IP address into your computer host table until all DNS for all ISPS resolve the issue...

Good Thread, I'm bored...


You and Martin still playing ED-BTR PBEM?


We're still playing, after a slight diversion caused by work and getting ready for baby.

It's been a good experience so far, a little on the bloody side but that's mostly caused by different tactics to the real life combatants and larger numbers of aircraft being involved. As I said to T, the ratios seem pretty good (mostly cos I'm shooting down more than I lose) but the numbers are skewed towards the higher end of the scale. A 2:1 loss ratio isn't too noticeable when the LW are losing 20 or so aircraft. When the numbers are up towards 100 in a day then things look a lot worse than they are.
Like most Matrix games, it needs a human opponent to get the most from it. T has pulled some surprise moves that the AI couldn't have done and hopefully I've managed to provide a sterner test for him than the AI would have done.

I'd also say HS and the team have done a good job with representing the aircraft. My Whirlwind squadron has seen cock all action, but their high speed and good weapons has resulted in good performance when needed. Conversely the Spitfire Ib has punched far below its ability.

If time (and Dixie MkII) allows, I'll post a single day AAR from the next turn I play over in the BTR forum.


Thanks for info Martin!

Hi all,

Per, I see that lion ate the swallow...


Leo "Apollo11"

Yup. I felt it was time for a new Avatar. If you look closely, you may notice that the lion is staring at well known Thread personae in the bottom left corner. For our neighbourly relations, I will change that when I get home in the evening though

Otherwise, today during our Vietnam wargaming, I'm known as "Comrade Ho Chi Grollub". The Red side students are currently giving me a brief on their operational assessments of the military situation in 1965. We're having a break just now, though.

This will change during the afternoon. I'm now commanding general "Westmoreland-Grollub", on my way to listen to the Blue Team presentation.

Congratulations Martin. What is his name? I have lost your address - could you pm or email me please?

Don't be in too much of a hurry to pick up. Helping them to learn how to self-sooth pays great dividends later on. Dummies seem to be frowned upon, but they are great for helping them re-settle after they wake themselves up doing that funny twitch thing that newborns do.

Very best regards

Carl

Yup. I felt it was time for a new Avatar. If you look closely, you may notice that the lion is staring at well known Thread personae in the bottom left corner. For our neighbourly relations, I will change that when I get home in the evening though

Otherwise, today during our Vietnam wargaming, I'm known as "Comrade Ho Chi Grollub". The Red side students are currently giving me a brief on their operational assessments of the military situation in 1965. We're having a break just now, though.



I do like that avatar. And I had not noticed until you pointed it out what the liion is staring at
