KS Napoleon Battle Friday, Sep. 18th, 20:00BST, 15:00EST

We will use the same version of the KS mod we've used for the past couple of weeks, 1.12x.  Here's the link if you haven't already downloaded it: KS Napoleon Mod 1.12x



Like only a Prussian can, Feldmarschall Wichard von Möllendorff has arranged his corps with geometric precision across the high ground between the Obra Fluss and the town of Wloszakowice.  The ground has no real military value, von Möllendorff has simply decreed this is where the korps will fight.  Not one step back shall be taken. The Feldmarschall decided that this is where he will await Maréchal Ney's pleasure.

The French have advanced rapidly from the west.  The towns of Rostarzewo and Przynent are reported to be under French occupation.  The French will soon be here.

Viel Glück, you're going to need it.

Sounds it will be a desperate fight.

I'll write the report, send your couriers to Kosten please.

your men are awaiting your orders, Sir!

See you shortly

Wow. Looking at replay the AI played that southern cavalry division nicely. They pretty much moved exactly where they needed to be to stay out of my
Line of sight. I even doubled back a bit to check that flank one more time. Impressive AI. Now, all I need to do is to figure out how to stay in control of my units in clicking flags. Tom W - great job as brigade Comdr.

Thank you. I look forward to more fun this weekend!

question for Pepe: did you do anything else on your PC when you got kicked?

Had a discussion with Kevin afterwards and he suggested that I should rather not do anything else on the 2nd screen while playing the game. I said I found that rather ridiculous, since this is the main reason why I have a 2nd screen in the first place, and many other games have no issues if I do 3 or 4 things at the same time on the PC - games that have a much higher "thirst" for graphics and processing power - but I will give it a try on Sunday...

The main "surprise" is that I have always been doing stuff on the 2nd screen - no matter whether I crashed or not, and I am apparently one of the least crashy persons - even during our bad framing issues - so I don't think it is connected with that - but I will give it a try nonetheless - even controlled breathing might be worth a try

Of course, if you were watching a DVD or something as well Pepe - we might have a connection there!

My game drop was easy to assess. Lovely wife accidentally turn switch off modem

No I had running TS, WL and Fraps but not recording.

I'd say mine was an internet issue, the screen froze for some seconds and then I had no MP stars, I heard a women's voice (from TS) saying "connection lost", and a few moments later you asked me if I was playing or not.

yeah - I think it's something like that as well....

It's peculiar that exactly the only two European guys dropped at exactly the same moment....

maybe a US Aircraft carrier drove across the internet-wires at 33 knots + and shook them up a bit too much!

I thought the same, it was probably a very busy time in the net.

Can someone please post the replay file for this game? Ta.
