I uploaded a new version of Danube last Sunday but I'm not sure when it will be made available.

Here's a list of changes

1. Overview map should now allow player to jump to a location on main map
2. Fixed other orders screwing up when a partial order was sent.
3. Fixed crash in battle
4. Fixed problem with a couple of bridges over the Danube not allowing units to cross
5. Fixed problem of loading saved games within the game (this may have inadvertently fixed the PBEM problem)
6. Fixed the display of incorrect unit types
7. When using the Find feature to locate a corps commander that counter is now placed on top of the stack

- Because some of the fixes are data, not code, saved games made with prior versions won’t load.


I see there were three bugs mentioned that I didn't know about or find. I will check for them this weekend and replace the version I uploaded last week with a new one.

Thank you for all the help!

Status: offline 		Hi again, just wanted to clarify I'm still working on that "one more thing". The problem is in full fog games where I caught the playback not properly displaying the movement of certain divisions I was following. The problem stems from the status reports issued by corps commanders every few hours. Sometimes these can get out of sequence.

I come back to this game from time to time. It's a great game. I am trying to get a game going with a friend, so I hope the PBM fix that is coming will let us get a game going.

Also, we want to use another game to fight the battles, but the miniatures feature doesn't cover all the battles. Or in my test games it doesn't. Do you have an editor built that might allow us to at lest edit the game after we fight the battles with another engine?

Oudinot with the Guard are not in the OOb for the Crisis on the Danube Scenario. Those troops did a lot of fighting historically. I would like to have them in there.


Is there anyway to get Campaigns of La Grande Armee 1806 going on a windows 7?

RCH, what would you need in an editor exactly?

The Guard should be in Vienna attached directly to Napoleon.

By the way guys, if I'm not here when you ask me something just email me at fhunter@telus.net

Thanks Agathosdaimon.

thats awesome - yes there are some stirling books on the periods, the whole period is utterly thrilling every part of it, from the campaigns, the characters, the intrigues, the gambles, etc - i have the Petre books too, but also the one i am enjoying at the moment is Crisis on the Danube by James Arnold. Also i love those big colourful books by J G Hourtoulle -

I love listening to also works such as Tchaikovsky's 4th and 5h symphonies - really just suits the period well for me!

its worth getting all of Petres books as they are great and seemingly quite cheap whenever i come across them

I noted a couple of items in the 'Patch 3.01 Bugs' thread, but some of this may be covered by the new issue, so waiting to see how it goes.

Yes, I've read about this in a interview!

A combination good books + good game is what I search for in wargaming

Another good example for me is Gordon “The Rules of the game” + Steam and Iron SAI-CE (NWS).


And I’ve noticed in the manual that Frank writes
“I wanted to design something that produced a feel for a Napoleonic campaign…
Often, wargames seem a little too chess-like and don´t convey the feel for a campaign that reading a narrative would inspire “.
That’s why, I think, I’ve found so interesting COTD

And that’s why I would have the new patch!
And I would try it in pbem


Music matches are more difficult, for me: Prokofief, Mahler, ligety, cage, Death in june… may be world war II match better than napoleonic period
-)

More than music for me the match is with weather. Often windy and rainy days want naval warfare, spring and autumn Napoleonic, summer and sun and sand want desert war, etc

Frank's game Campaigns of La Grande Armee had an editor. Could one like that be made available for this game?

I wish Frank would release the new 1806 Napoleonic game.

If the patch is good, I am going to be doing a PBM game where we will use miniatures and will be fighting all the battles using SOW Napoleonic Mod. So, several players will get involved with the battles. Will be good exposure. Especially, with the new SOW game Waterloo coming out in June.

It would be nice to have way-points.

Status: offline 		Instead of being able to set way-points in a single order what you can do is use the "Additional" button when sending orders, that way the current order isn't cancelled and the new order is pursued only after the current order is finished. Its more work but is pretty much the same as having way-points.

Status: offline 		Eagerly waiting for the next patch, the crash with battle and confusing unit icon allocation makes it difficult, but it is good enough for practice games.

Enough to get a taste of how the game can be, with a very different 'feel' from most games. Not just ploughing counters around a map, this has the uncertainty and vagaries of the characters of a real army.

Sent orders to Davout, which would have closed the ring around a Coalition army, to see him take his whole corps off in a different direction and capture Klattau, seizing 1700+ enemy supply points. Enough supplies to feed the army on the way to Vienna.

So what do I do, break him to the ranks for disobeying orders, or shower him with new honours, for making the next round of advances possible.

Nice to have an old favourite back, when it's fixed, it will be even better with the update.

In some scenarios infantry units have the icon of cav units!
Always eager to have the patch, i would buy another copy to do a gift, hoping to have new opponents, but i would give a patched game!
Anyway, a very beautiful game
