C3C PBEM: "Smuts" - the Boer War scenario-based PBEM

[LouLong]

No real action. Should we call it a truce ???

 

[ironduck]

Action about to heat up - I just needed to get rid of the damn Africans which has now happened

Started a nice little gunnery siege on you..

 

[Luthor_Saxburg]

Got the file but I'm having troubles opening the file (civilopedia.txt)...

 

[LouLong]

Killed Bushveldt carabineers near Bloemenfontein. Bombarded stack.

The techs are too cheap I think.

 

[ironduck]

I'm getting this error message when I saved I think, pretty sure it's related to bunkers



Gonna try with a placeholder, but something is wrong becasue I don't find any wave files anywhere in the civ dirs..

 

[ironduck]

placeholder doesn't work, not sure how to fix it.. did play the turn though. Bombarded Welkom - does that make us welcome?

 

[ironduck]

Also, it looks like battlefield medicine is way too expensive, like the camps are.. I'm not going to build either because they will take all the rest of the game to complete.

 

[LouLong]

Put that in my mind for the next version.

Just bombarded your troops. Looks like we like duels of artillery...

 

[ironduck]

I see you have some heavy artillery too now!

Killed 3 Boer and 2 cavalry in Welkom. Lost a Bengal.

 

[ironduck]

Bombed a gatling and a cavalry into submission at Welkom.

 

[ironduck]

My troops are anxiously waiting for permission to invade Welkom..

 

[ironduck]

I have it from a reliable source that my troops will invade whether or not I get my turn!

 

[ironduck]

Damn reinforcements.. only got a militia in Welkom.

 

[Luthor_Saxburg]

After the Zulu gang defended itself in a brilliant manner against a Boer Kommando, they decided to party!!! With lost of alcohool off course!

In the after-party they decide to attack Volksrust. They were very suprised when they lost 1 Zulu warrior and made absolutly no injuries in the city defenders. They blame the inumerous cannons placed in the city!

 

[LouLong]

Obviously you did not get the name of the city is misleading

Did some more damages, unfortunately no lethal ones....

 

[ironduck]

More fun at the party of Welkom! Killed two militia and destroyed two howitzers! My army lost 5 points taking out one of those howitzers..

Also sank Portugal's last ship which made them see the light and become our friends again..

 

[Luthor_Saxburg]

GPS.

In order to play I had to introduce in the "Fire Base" folder two .wav files:
ArtilleryAttackExpl.wav
ArtilleryDeath.wav

I just copied them from other units and renamed them. I have no idea what they sound like...

 

[ironduck]

Odd.. because I don't have those files (I made a dummy file for the artilleryattackexpl.wav first before Lou sent me the new .ini)

 

[LouLong]

Usual barrage bombardment. Not much luck this turn except a howitzer targeted a group of British troops who had gathered and formed a juicy target. That company is no more !

 

[ironduck]

Welkom finally captured! You had accumulated quite a bit of artillery there, and it defended itself quite well.

Destroyed 2 Howitzer, 4 cannons. Killed 2 Boer, 1 cavalry, militia, 1 scout. Lost a cavalry.

Are the Boer ready to bow down to her Majesty the Queen?
