Gents: As you expressed interest. Drew, the original poster could not seem to get my gmv file to load, so I sought out my long time friend , Ivan, who introduced me to these AH games in the early 70s. We were able to figure out CB fairly well for complete newbies. I had only one instance where a file sequence was messed up, but was able to recover because of the numerous backups I'd make before each exchange, allowing me to piece the sequence back together. We bit off the rules in small chunks...incorporating additional sections as we felt ready. We extended the scenario until every last piece of one side was eliminated as a learning tool of strategy and rules. This required unsound strategies like abandoning Quebec. Slowly it came back to me about strategies in these types of games. I was the one who definitely made the blunders in this one, but Ivan was always better than I anyways. Anyways, this was a blast as I can never seem to escape the nostalgia of my youth. BTW, this turned out to be much better than the actual boardgame. I had the board setup also, but I now remember the drawbacks...stacking pieces that scatter, difficulty in actually picking them up, forgetting where they were after being picked up, redoing a move, etc. The CB system eliminates virtually all of these problems and like I said, if you are diligent about backups along the way, you almost certainly have a recovery option. The Mr. Furniss system for SVE, sealed virtual envelopes, went without a hitch and was established quickly. Thanks to him also.
