    World of Tanks

    The network speed requirement listed is 128k. The fastest our connection ever goes is about 78k. But for 15 beans a month I not really going to complain. The game runs fine. But I have, quite often, noticed that my kills get credited to other players. I imagine this is mostly due to network...

    World of Tanks

    Ya the upgrades do come. It takes awhile. You can also use your experience points to purchase training upgrades for your crew. Crew training levels do make a real difference. The better ammunition is really only good again the open top tanks. Living through a battle really earns you some...

    World of Tanks

    Thanks for the tip. Got a chance to check it out last night. It was quite a bit of fun. I'm bumpkin there as well. Last night I was pretty easy to spot. I was typically the one burning along the roadside. :woot Thanks, Greg.

    Anyone else having problems with the main page?

    I get the same message when I try to access the news page. The Paradox forum is also running really slow today. I wanted to post a link to their announcement of a new game "Pirates of the Black Cove".

    Unable to initialize Directx

    I doubt this will help with the game, Microsoft does not support anything below XP with SP3. Meaning you will not get anymore updates from MS, which may be a good or bad thing depending on how you feel about it. Greg.

    Released Commander - Conquest of the Americas

    Picked this game and EIC Collection for a paltry $7.50 each. Did not figure I could go too far from wrong.

    Gamers Gate price drop 1.75 euro or 2.5 US

    Title says it all. Gamers Gate has this game on sale for a bit longer at $2.50 us or 1.75 euros. It is a hard price to pass up. I know I did not. It is a blast.

    Plans for Continental Frigate "Confederacy"

    Yes. The spars and masts were a lot thicker than I would have expected them to be. If I could figure out to post some pictures, I have several that I took of the Brig Niagra, Bounty and the 50 ton Sloop Friends Good Will. Greg.

    Plans for Continental Frigate "Confederacy"

    Sorry lads, been busy, an not had a chance peruse the forum. First let me say she looks gorgeous. I am so happy work continues on this ship. With regard to tree nails, in the first pic I think they be spaced a wee bit too close. There would likely have been two per plank were is crossed a...

    Plans for Continental Frigate "Confederacy"

    I have a print from the Smithsonian of the Contintial Frigate Randolph. It includes a sail plan. They were built with in a year or so of each other. Most times the individual yard or ship's captain defined the specifics of the rig. Let me know, I can see about getting them scanned. The...

    Ship Adjustments

    Those rope thingies are called the Deadeyes. The rope between the upper and lower deadeye blocks is part of the running rigging, whereas the shroud and back stays, which are served, parceled and tarred, are considered standing rigging. Their purpose is to allow adjustment of the shrouds and...

    Anyone still play this?

    I would guess it was the cheapo - sans manual. It was not much bigger than a standard jewel case.

    Cannons will not fire - advice for AoP2 noob

    Good to hear you got it figured out. The Peter Blood campaign is pretty good. I used the advice posted somewhere on this site about capturing something smaller and taking command of the smaller ship until I got the Peter Blood character to a high enough level to not be penalized for commanding...

    Steam Frigates

    Looks nice. Just a question, what is the white plume coming out of the side of the ship?

    Cannons will not fire - advice for AoP2 noob

    Hello mate, Please don't take the wrong way, but are the cannons loaded? Had this happen the other day when starting a new campaign. I had none of the default ammunition on board. When I changed to ammunition that I had cannons loaded. Also Auto fire does not work unless you have an enemy...
