| An interesting proposal though I wouldn't know if the programming requirements would be either applicable, practical or as easy as you say for the ACW games. Funny, I was a playtester for several SB games and don't remember action points per se...I guess it was too long ago to remember. What this su... |

| I like that prolong has finally been added, however, I must agree about the disruption. Even firing at 1/2 for the next turn seems a good compromise if there should be a penalty of sorts. I would think, though, that prolong would be more of a "time" consideration than of bumbling around moving all t... |

| Well I certainly will second all of that. None of my rant about this issue was ever a criticism and I should have had the presence of mind to thank him as well. All of these "mysteries" are ONLY illuminated by his posts. They are, however, all over the place and that is why I am going to try to summ... |

| Took the time to read all of the posts and responses from Rich I could find in the Mason-Dixon. I am up to 12 pages of information in WORD format i.e. various posts just copied for search and summarization. This does not yet include the other possible forms like the other Taverns and for us Yanks, t... |

| My profuse apology. I re-read Matt's post and he clearly said that one does not have to CONTINUOUSLY OCCUPY spiked guns. That would seem to answer this whole magilla. I didn't read carefully enough. ONE DOES HAVE TO OCCUPY EVEN SPIKED GUNS TO RECEIVE THE POINTS. Is my face red. [:I] But I still thin... |

| I give up. I captured and then spiked on the following turn, two batteries of guns for sure...they were labeled captured. The Reb lost points for them. On the next turn after capturing I spiked them. They were labeled spiked. The score dropped from 240 to 60. I continually occupied when captured. I ... |

| Fisrt please see below string for the early background but this was too bizarre to just complicate further below. This is kind of crazy. I hope someone, Rich? maybe, can explain this: NOW there are three spiked batteries showing on the map (see the jpeg below) AND THE VICTORY SCREEN NOW SHOWS NO POI... |

| Thanks for that...it clears up my obvious other misunderstanding. It seems to me that based upon the amount of discussion of this spking issue and long before I was wasting all this time on it, together with how confusing it seems to be...meaning the who, why, what and when, and how many points unde... |

| Aha!...Well, now we are getting somewhere...IF ONE HAS TO OCCUPY a spiked battery to get the points...well I didn't know that...I guess that is the problem with the total...I think at the moment I am sitting on a spiked, captured battery and I vacated one....I thought that you HAD TO OCCUPY a captur... |

| Sure Rich if I DO get to the bottom of...I mentioned that my opponent told me that he spike one battery and "thought" he may have another. However, I attacked two batteries in the same turn of four guns each and when the melee was over, they were labeled "captured" so I don't see how he could have s... |

| Then perhaps there is no problem because my opponent tells me that he spiked one battery and possible two before I could? That would explain the points...I only really spiked one four gun battery and hence 60 points, BUT if he spiked his own other two batteries why would they show as captured? If I ... |

| So Rich...what do I not understand about spiking...here is the latest...I have spiked 12 guns and the tally on the victory screen shows that my opponent has lost only 60 points. My understanding is that captured guns are worth 60 points each and YOU MUST CONTINUALLY OCCUPY THEM. And that spiked guns... |

I suppose I can go to the photo gallery and try to figure it out but it would be so much nicer a souvenir or record for the future if a few names were included...embarrassinly I have never... |
