Game invites

I would like to play BA vs someone else, but all the games are private. Anyone play public matches? Anyone want to send me a password to play?

I have been playing 10 different PBEM games and all are working fine, but my virus scan kills the loading process on one game of a matched pair. Whatever caused the crash, which has been repeated 4 times, also causes my entire computer to stall. I have to hard boot every time I try to load that part...

I usually post more than I have for this playtest, my wife is being treated for breast cancer and my time has been limited. I posted a few times tho...loading the original download...and I believe ...

I also want to know what's going on with the z. Does it allow a "reorganization" that would allow a reinforcement of the unit without cost except a skipped turn? Does it let you "turn off" a unit so that it does cycle through when you hit next unit?

Flanking

The question about flanking doesn't even make sense. If you want a tactical game, then don't play a strategic game. If you are a game designer who wants a tactical game, design a tactical game.

First Impression

Very nice homage to Panzer General et al. It plays very much like the original, but with several improvements. It has so many more units, the maps are larger and the units actually can move around. The game plays much like the old Avalon Hill board games like Russian Front. The graphics are excellen...

Loading multiplayer games

In all but one of my current multiplayer games I am having problems loading the turn. When I attempt to play my turn, the screen stays on the loading screen, time passes and the game closes itself. A loading error flashes and I am back on the desktop.

My Impression of the defensive tactics in BA

I have played every scenario several times and have found tht success in the mission depends on the defensive units breaking the enemy so that the attack/counterattack can push through. I originally thought that a forward defense, maximizing shooting would be the best tactic, but the enemy can swamp...

I've had reinforcements arrive in some of the desert missions where they are placed initially in spaces where they are stuck and cannot move.

Suggestions

1) A means of cycling through ones troops to make sure all of them have been given orders
2) A clearer designation of the location of infantry in buildings, both friendly and enemy
3) a replay of plane attacks in the multiplayer
4) Leaders that can rebuild morale faster

I've been able to issue challenges, but haven't been able to see any when I hit accept challeges. Is there something besides hitting accept challenge that I need to do?
