Jerry Gouge jerrygouge@aol.com USA GA SecWar yes yes yes yes yes no no no   yes I cannot successfully send orders or telegraphs. There are certain portions of the pictures which I cannot view (resolution issues I assume), where there is something that I should be able to see but it is off screen. There is more detail needed in the manual to let people know how to navigate. Also I did not see in the manual the method of determining where your units are located (method is to go to operational map and click on a building).

Karl Chandler gsgr@stny.rr.com USA NY President yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes   yes  had the program installed, but was unable to generate orders to load units on trains (it is now thought that the trouble had something to do with Outlook Express.)  In trying to correct this problem, I uninstalled and installed the program and now, then I had no graphics. Mal Gray shipped me some files (battle_terrain.mdb & .exe ver16) that fixed the problem.
Paul Biddlecombe TPIOWUK@aol.com USA PA   yes yes yes no no no no no   no I beleive the error lies in ability to load the game for the start. If you cant do that easily the rest becomes irrelevant.

J.J. Sanders studies@holf.org USA NY Gov yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes   yes  
Stephen Schmidt schmidsj@union.edu USA WI Gov yes yes yes yes yes yes yes no   yes A lot of people are having trouble figuring out that they need to download the turn results files to the same folder that MF is in. I've assisted several people who have downloaded turn results to their Temporary Internet Files folder and don't realize that they then have to copy them over to the MF folder to use them.
David Othen davidothen@btinternet.com USA MA/VT Gov                      
David Massamore kylaw@charter.net USA IA/MO Gov yes yes yes yes yes yes no (article posted; not able to read it) no   yes As newly appointe gov of Mo/Iowa I sent in orders to build units and to alter the manufacturing schedule to make more war materials. I also sent in an article to the newspaper.I could not tell if they got through. I wrote and Mel confirmed receipt of my orders and that everything seemed to work. I waited for the latest version of the download. It is the correct version as I  have checked the numbers and compared to the download. Yet, what I get on the screne is the same as version .14. No new news and no troops. I did get an email in response to a question from Stephen S that new troops only show up after we finish this round of troops movements.Beyond that it seems to be working. I also did see that the nation map shows troops and locations of forces that were not present in the first or version.14 so it apparently is different this download than last.
Starting from scratch with no troops is frustrating as we have nothing to do. If I was not the gov I would be very bored. Perhaps each state could have a few units of national guard like the home guard that existed in Ky that could be converted to national service so we could have units to move. All in all glad to be part of bets test
