Six times straight I've been dropped from battles with a "Battle Over - No Response" message. It always occurs about 2-3 minutes into the battle and dumps me straight into the lobby. So, that makes the "No Response" (loss of connection?) assessment somewhat dubious. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? UPDATE ----------- Neither restarting the NA application or the Steam app corrected the problem. After rebooting it seems to have addressed the issue. However, the fact that it always happened at the same time after the start of the scenario strongly suggests there is a NA software component to the problem.

But in this case, contrasted with the nightmare of the remaining crew going down with the original ship, not so much. I have to expect the "final" version of the game will have some mechanism for prize crews anyway. As for the game mechanics, the real-time management WOULD be a nightmare and I supose the best option would be to allow one ship to be designated with an AI captain. Since it would be fighting with a handicap I wouldn't think this would prove to be an unfair approach to other players.

There is a serious flaw in the mechanics of boarding & capturing a smaller vessel. In attempting to transfer from a sinking Trincomalee to a healthy Snow, I found I had lost 90 crewmen between the end of the boarding and capturing. Assuming I still had my original complement, I grappled another Trin after firing a broadside of grape into her. Needless to say, it didn't turn out well. I suggest players be given a choice of transferring the entire crew or taking her as a prize and transferring a prize crew, retaining both with reduced operational capability.

Mia culpa. I receive a high volume of e-mail and found it buried in the stacks. But then I suspect that's what the admins suspected, too. Sorry for the trouble Admin.

Sent my payment on the 5th and haven't received my key. Is there a problem with a partial posting of keys?

It's a bit late to respond, I suppose, but I have the entire collection. In addition, I have the accumulated Southern Historical Society's papers on the war as well as detailed information on the 15th Georgia of Benning's brigade. This includes their role in the assault on Devil's Den and the capture of the guns of the 4th New York Battery in conjunction with the 1st Texas.
