PBEM battle Alf V Aj test Workaround

[AJ]

Alfy and I are fighting an uneven PBEM battle, Alfy (Allies) 144 CEH, me (France) 119 CEH. We are posting screens and updates here to show our progress using the new PBEM Workaround. Everything is working perfectly. You have to keep an eye on the timer and remember to switch sides just before you exit your turn, that way your opponent watches the replay viewing as his side. Also 2 battles are now in progress at NBC

[Alfiere]

All work very well.
Only little problem for me is take a look to timer because it is easy to exceed the limit.
Very fine battle with Ajle, tomorrow continue.

[AJ]

Looking at the timer is a new discipline for the Workaround. I find it easier to concentrate on the battle if I Pause to give orders (Timer stops running) & fight on 20/60. This way the timer is far easier.

[Alfiere]

Right , playing at 20/60 it is a good idea.

[AJ]

Other idea it is repeat with file receive by opponent

.

Sorry Alfy, don't understand that. Can you explain more?

[Alfiere]

If you exceed time limit,you can repeat with the last file received from opponent.
Overwrite the file with time extra and play again.

[AJ]

Ahhh, OK I see.  I really like not getting the Red Screen every 3 turns. We have one extra step but with no Red Screen it works out good.

[Gunner24]

Great stuff guys, I'm very impressed with this, after only a few turns it all becomes as easy and automatic as the "official" PBEM - and it all works so well with the orders being obayed - at last !.

Alfy, is tricky, he got me to commit Murats Cav Corps, then carried out a retreat of his Cav just before we met

No, I expected attack of Murat in that area,where else.
I do not watch your orders!
This is bigger problem with Both side .
Perhaps can add the rule that is allowed to watch the orders for both.

[AJ]

No watching orders!!!! Gentlemans agreement

[AJ]

Battle progressing with no bugs. Murats combined arms attempt to turn the Allies left flank has failed and an orderly retreat has taken place. The center is steady. The Allies are now mounting there own attack on the French left.

Attached some screens of a Cavalry charge from Murats failed attack and a screen of the current situation.

Next challenge Aj V ges or Gunner24? and post here? with sav file on depot for winner and obviously a medal.

G24 and I are just finishing one and starting a new one today. It will be an NBC Campaign GAW battle but will post here as well
