Log files in BOH (you can PBEM!)

[KG_Kharkov]

I just figured out how to use logfiles in Band of Heroes. It allows you to play by e-mail. Basically you start a log file and then plot your planned move/action. When completed, you end the log file and send it to your opponent. The opponent loads it (starts a log file after he loads it) and then advances frame by frame. He can stop at any frame and take action -- for example, if he wanted to fire at a moving unit. The opponent, if he takes action, takes his action and ends his logfile and sends it back. The first player loads and watches and responds.

I'm going to read up some more on PBEM etiquette/proper technique but it seems that this simple back and forth with continual log files works well.

Who is interested in trying this out with me?

:bath: Yeah John, could one expect two pulses a week?

You fail to realize something. I installed it at work -- [diabolical laugh]. Unlike CM which is no longer on the work PC, this is on the work PC and is fair game for lunch material especially since the files are small and the plotting time is just a minute or two tops.
