The last replay I watched had two rather strange "beep" sounds in it ... sounds crazy, but there it is. Anyone ever heard of something like that? What might it be?
:laugh: Thanks for the memory jog! I can still remember a guy on a team we were playing Europa against, who's arm would get tired all the time from doing this, LOL!m5000 said:just an extra thought, it reminds of an informal rule often used while playing board wargames - that you can change your move as long as you're still touching the counter with your finger, but once your finger's come away from the counter, you can't modify the move

Using the undo due to a nervous finger isn't really a problem. Using it constantly is strange (to say the least...)
Exactly, so if you do any undos, immediately undo them! :clown:nemo said:In PBEM play, the bottom line is: don't do undos. Keep pets, children and wives away from the keyboard while playing and live with your wrong moves :smoke:
That's what I always thought. So many things get messed up in real war and the degree of control we have in the games is unreal anyway, having to live with own errors is entirely acceptable.nemo said:In PBEM play, the bottom line is: don't do undos.

Yeah. I for one wouldn't miss the feature in PBEM play.Heldenkaiser said:Disabling "undo" would have been my first thought in this context. :surprise:
that's right, this should be the first anti-cheating moveHeldenkaiser said:...Disabling "undo" would have been my first thought in this context. :surprise:

I suppose I'm more concerned about my reputation than a record. Our game is over because I have one general rule ... if somebody suspects I'm cheating the game is over. I don't need somebody blaming a loss on me cheating. As I mentioned in my email to H, I play for fun and education. I don't need to worry somebody thinks I'm cheating when it against my constitution.
Ah, my laptop (and it's an old one - 800Mhz, 256 MB RAM) has also just some kind of on-board graphic with 8 MB Ram. I think in such cases the RAM for the graphics is taken from the normal Ram. In most BIOS'es you can also adjust AGP aperture (or so-no, i won't reboot to look for the correct name) size, which means the amount of additional RAM granted the graphic card from the normal RAM.nemo said:I'll have to check when I get home but I doubt my modest laptop has anything even remotely close to a high-end graphic card, if it has any at all. Doesn't prevent it from smoothly running TOAW 3.

m5000 was the first one who used the word cheating and his statement also wasn't targeted neither against you nor someone else.m5000 said:yes, it may often be regarded as cheating
Yeah, just checked with mine, it has no graphic card either - but it's water-proofTelumar said:Ah, my laptop (and it's an old one - 800Mhz, 256 MB RAM) has also just some kind of on-board graphic with 8 MB Ram.

No problem with ACoW and TOAW3 on this laptop
Ditto, beers and pom-pom girls included!@Hank2 : I think an old, obsolete second hand graphic card would do it for toaw3 - they should be cheap.

Ts, and all this because the undo button is active during PBEM.. come on, let's :toast: and :hurray: .
