| Gentlemen, First, look at why you got email notification of game starts and ends before. It was simply because you did not have access to the database where that information was logged and stored. So, now, you do have direct access. All, you have to do is go to the reports section and look at your i... |

| Gen. Kaulbars is exactly right. The DB looks at your points and then looks at your rank. If your rank does not match that of what your points are, it will send a notice to the command staff that you have reached that level. If your rank is below Col. it will execute the promotion update in the datab... |

| Gentlemen, The auto promotion link is up and functional. You should check here to see if you qualify for a promotion. Visit the link "Field Promotions" from the reports page. Read the directions. If you qualify for a promotion a messenger will show up on the bottom of your screen. When you choose to... |

| Bill, That is correct. After promotion to Col. the site then only notifies the chain of command that an officer has reached the number of points required for promotion to one of the General ranks. Any promotions to one of the General ranks take a recommendation from the CoAs and approval of the cabi... |

| Lt. Daley, Those values are set by the scenario designers after playtesting them. I don't know of an specific formulas or anything like that. Maybe one of the guys that has done some of them could clarify how they decide on those values. Lt. Gen. Don Adams 5th Texas "Lone Star" Cavalry Brigade I/III... |

| Glad to see you having fun. That is what this club is all about! If you are playing the HPS games, under settings, make sure you check "Ask before advancing". That will keep you from advancing the turn accidentally. I don't think the TS games had this option. Glad to have you aboard! Lt. Gen. Don Ad... |

Each time an officer is promoted an email confirmation is automatically sent to all of the officers up his c... |

| Doug, Thank you. Last summer I walked across that field on July 3rd at 3:00 pm. As I walked I tried to imagine what it was like to the soldiers under terrific fire from the rise in front of them. I looked at the ground I was walking over and wondered how many bodies were laying in this area, if some... |

I will probably take the site off line for an hour or so late tonight to repair a couple of things in the database. Keep t... |

The answers is yes, any uncompleted games that were registered before my two sites must be registered and assigned a new number.

| In the scenario editor for all of the HPS games the default setting for protection is 5 hexes. That is pretty much the accepted standard though, you could for instance, set the protection for Lee's escort unit at Gettysburg to 350 hexes, effectively paralyzing the Union army for one turn.

| Dierk, If the game has never been ended before January 1st of this year when my first site came up or if it hasn't been ended on my sites then you can go ahead and register it like a new game and end it and the points will be added. If it was registered and ended before, somewhere else, the points a... |
