Impromptu Games

I can play tonight.

Anyone playing today - usual time?

I can play today at the usual time, 20:00 BST, 15:00 EST.

I'll be there.

I can't make it today, my 'puter is in the shop for repairs. The HDD is knackered and the repeated HDD accessing during the Grautzsch battle is probably what killed the game.

I am also having a few other tweaks done and doubling the mainboard RAM.

Should have it back by Friday when it will need an SoW test drive.

Come to think of it, I'm convinced it was the lack of RAM that was causing the severe performance problems. When the game runs out of RAM that the OS can spare, it will use VRAM which is just a partitioned portion of your HDD that runs much, much slower than RAM. That's why there was an immediate and drastic decrease in the performance when the french sprites started loading in and that's also why the HDD had to run at full speed.

Might be the case but my HDD is exhibiting other signs of problems such as my web browser taking a full minute or more to load and a simple app like Word taking 30 to 45 seconds to open a document during which time the HDD light is flashing constantly.

It's 6 years old and also quite full so I think its time for a new one.

I'm doubling my RAM as well so I hope this will fix the severe problems we've been seing recently. If you remember Saalfeld was very laggy as well, as was Weimar.

sorry all I wont be able to get to some of the games in the next 2 weeks I have to get ready for exams so have fun with out me

See you in 2 weeks Joe and good luck with your exams.


Anything going on today.....Kevin?

I will try to get to am many games as I can but if I don that is why. sorr for the inconvenience.

I can't play today, but I'll be available tomorrow for a game.  I'm thinking Austrians...

Good luck Joe, I'm sure you'll do fine.

Well see you tomorrow then!

I have put together a small scenario we can play at the usual time, 20:00 BST, 15:00 EST.  The cavalry regiments differ in size by +/- 300 men.  I'd like to see what impact that has on the game.  I have also made a few more changes to the dll.  These should somewhat help infantry to form square sooner and also make it more likely that  battalions will move in column of division.  If you want to download it prior to the game, here is a link: New dll. It will replace the one in the KS Napoleon Mod II 1.18/Modules/ sub-folder.

Thanks Kevin, Andrew said he will be there today too.

As tomorrow is Mother's Day here in the US, I'll put a scenario together for a game today at the usual time, 20:00 BST, 15:00 EST. The 1807 Russians are on deck. Everyone will need the latest dll I posted yesterday. The link is in my previous post.

I should make it.

Is there a game today?

I'm available for a game today at the usual time, 20:00 BST, 15:00 EST. I'll put a scenario together.

I should make it.

Steam game alert system has come up with "0" everyone is busy. Phil said he might but probably not.

I'm available for a game today at the usual time, 20:00 BST, 15:00 EST. Who's making the scenario?

I will make one and have at least one gun for you to command.

I should have WL re-downloaded, installed, patched and modded in a little while.

Would anyone like a wee game today at the usual time so I can test it?

I could, I just reformatted my OS as well and will need a test. Working on cracking my internet connection issue now.

I can play at the usual time, 20:00 BST, 15:00 EST.
