Hello, Buckykatt here

[Buckykatt]

Hi fellow gamers,

59 year old retired guy here that has been playing wargames since 75 when I was stationed at Malmstrom AFB, Montana. Started out with AH Panzerleader/blitz, later got into Squad leader. As you know finding opponents for face to face board games is next to impossible, so I got into Combat mission. (As that's the closest to AH Squad leader that I've found) I have BN, RT, FI, soon to have FB. I've been playing against the AI for awhile now and do miss having a human opponent, so that's why I am here. I normally use my I pad for normal communications, so I don't even have an email account set up on my PC as of yet. I hope that everybody can give me their opinions on what's the best way to handle e mail files, etc. I would love to start out with some scenarios to begin with.

Welcome to the club mate.
First get yourself an email account on your PC then download dropbox and h2hh.

OK, have e mail set up on the PC. Can someone walk me through where to find H2HH to D/L, and how to go about setting that up please?

Someone with more time and patience will probably come in with MORE (and better) Info soon.

 

[Buckykatt]

Thanks Zinzan, that's what I was looking for.

 

[Buckykatt]

Zinzan, care to start a game BTW? I think I can handle the files without H2HH for the time being to get me started.

 

[Nelson1812]

Welcome, have fun.

 

[Zinzan]

Sorry Buckykatt - back to work tomorrow - only time to keep my other games ticking over for next week or so. I'll be happy to play you sometime in the future, but I'm desperately trying to not overcommit to games right now.

Keep looking and good luck.

Welcome and enjoy.... all the info you have got is top notch...

Welcome aboard. CM Helper (formerly called H2H Helper) isn't essential, but it's quite helpful, especially if you have multiple games going. Dropbox is absolutely necessary. I don't think anyone exchanges files as e-mail attachments any longer.

Fellow former cardboard wargamer here. I started in the early 1980s with Panzer Blitz, Tobruk, The Longest Day, Anzio, and many others I can't remember. Then I discovered Squad Leader and was absolutely hooked......until I got a computer.

Nice bike! I've owned a couple of Sportsters, a '75 and an '09. They are fun to modify. Not so fun on long trips. Wish I had never sold mine.
