What browser do you use? Rapidshare is a pain in the butt, wish I had another way to distribute it. Seems 28 people have been able to download the Korean War, and 8 the K'talan, but some folks just get errors. I posted a link to contact Rapidshare, they told me to do that, they get back to you pretty quick. Then you can tell them what they need to know. It can be pop-up blockers, IE, make sure javascript is enabled, as well as cookies. If it persists, please contact Rapidshare, they are very helpful, just wish the program wasn't so cranky!! I could send it to you, but not sure we can do that with a 246mb file??!! Let me know!!

Hey,

Just searched around, found this, worth a try? See if it works for you!

if you having trouble downloading from rapidshare its probably because your isp is bt
and there is problem with bt servers accessing rapidshare downloads, but there is a way
round it first try this paste the link you want to download in your browser for example

http://rapidshare.com/files//7897mydemofile

now change the first bit so it looks like this

https://www.rapidshare.com/files//7897mydemofile

now it should work if your still having problems try removing the s from the http bit

I have a work around if anybody is interested.


This work around only applies if you have the link to the file your are trying to get, for example the http:// code.

All rapidshare links look like this: http://rapidshare.com/files/????/?????

What you simply do if you are having connection issues like I do, Rapidshare always comes up with "Internal Server Error 500" for me or it times out so what I do is this,

You simply type the first part of the code like this: http://rs240.rapidshare.com/files/

after /files/ you put the rest of your code to your file usually numbers forward slash then another series of numbers or letters or a combination thereof.

This is simply a direct way of getting to the file you want without going through the website and clicking free user or premium user. This work around has been working for me and I hope it helps you.

I find the game entertaining and interesting, though I think there may be some Win7 issues or maybe just my impatience with ending a scenario in the campaign. At the end of the campaign game, it cycles through to restart the game. It isn't fast and if I hit a key the game locks up. Either way, hit the key or don't hit the key, I have to hit the Windows key and restart the game. No problem, but it is a tad bit annoying.

I read a book or two of the Turtledove series, but they weren't all out and I ran up against the wait until the next book publication date and getting busy. I never did follow-up.

I chose the armor campaign to start out with to see the biggest mismatch, but I'll follow up with the mech infantry version as well. In my initial run through with one of the scenarios and not the campaign, I noticed that the Pak 40's were dangerous to the K'talan forces. I also had a friendly fire incident with arty landing on the tanks. K'talan arty is an armor killer. I haven't found them quite as dangerous to dismounted troops. As to an armor on armor fight in '42, it's like a very HOT knife cutting through soft margarine. The German armor just vaporizes when hit by the K'talan heavies. German armor never survives first contact if the K'talans have enough tubes to engage.

One of the tactical problems for the K'talans in the campaign mode so far is to cover the terrain with enough firepower. Too much ground to cover with the strong individual units, but they are few in number. Human forces are vast in number; however, a few K'talan units can slow any human push. K'talan's must use recon to the maximum extent possible to see the ground in front of them.

So far, the offensive is a difficult proposition due to the lack of numbers. If you spread out to cover all the objectives, you get overwhelmed by the numbers. If you concentrate, you won't get all the objectives. It's a balance of objectives, SP points and on occasion exit points.

You have to think about what you want to do, apportion your forces and hope you got it right as you charge forward. Enemy arty and the small AT guns are dangerous. You can do all the right things and still lose a tank to the stray enemy arty round or the hidden AT battery that pops up. I always cringe when the arty rounds are landing close. I've had a platoon go from three to one SP. You definitely want to keep moving quickly to dodge the enemy arty plots. However, in the thick of things with a time crunch you just have to grin and bear it.

So far a good game that is somewhat different. Its sort of like having Panthers against waves of '40 allied troops. There is lots of carnage for the human player, but as an old saying goes, quantity has a quality all its own. If the K'talan player doesn't fight with a style to live another day he slowly bleeds out to the point that they may be overwhelmed down the road.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012,

Hi Jim,

Thanks again for your input, and yes, I forgot to mention, in campaign mode it will appear to crash at the end of every battle. This is a problem I believe to be due to the fact that the K'talan being in slot 12, wasn't in the programmed original countries in any DCG, this happens after the general congrats you, and you get a medal. Restart the game, resume the campaign, you will continue, sorry but there isn't anything I'm able to do about that, kinda sucks.

Thanks guys!

Mike
