Title: Sudan Games at BattleCry 2011 in Auckland NZ
Post by: Mycenius on 25 February 2011, 07:49:46 AM
Hi All - just for those who may be interested - we ran 3 demo/participation games of 28mm TSATF in Auckland last weekend (the same weekend Tactica was on in Europe) - while not up to Frank & Team's magnificence they may be of interest to some:

Hi Björn - thanks for the comments - appreciate that!   :)


Mycenius
Every time I try to open these I get a quick glimpse at the site then the "Oops page broken" message appears. Is it my system or is anyone else getting same problem?

Hi Bezzo,

It could be the little Flash Graphic at the top of the page. I test the site in Opera, Chrome, Firefox, and I.E. 8.0 from a Windows environment - if you are running Safari on a Mac there might be an unforeseen bug (but I've found if it looks okay in Opera & Chrome it looks okay in any browser normally as they are the most W3C compliant). I'm using a SEF URL generator so that might affect things if you have an unusual environment...

But have you tried going to my home page http://wargaming.info/ and just accessing the links to the articles from there? If you get the page flash up then fail it would suggest it's more likely your end rather than the host end - perhaps your security software is blocking the site? If it's a fault at the server (my host) you will either see my Wargaming.info 404 error page, or a basic "Hostgator" one (my webhost). If you are getting some other generic looking one it's your browser I think...

I'm not aware of anyone else with issues accessing? Let me know how you get on...

Nice reports and a quality website generally.

Thanks - I'll try your home page. Just spotted your address - NZ- are you okay where you are?

Hi Bezzo - thanks - yep, I'm in Auckland - all good here. Christchurch is my home town but I moved North in 1995 and none of my immediate family are there anymore - all my friends, wargaming mates, extended family, and work associates down there are all okay but some have badly damaged or likely to be condemned homes. It's taken a real beating - and they are talking months just to restore all the power & water & sewerage - plus about 3/4 of the CBD of the city will need to be bulldozed by the sounds of things... Still a lot of missing people...

If you still have issues I'll post the raw non-SEF URLs - if they don't work it must be something your end I'm afraid...

They open fine at home. I am please I persevered as they are worth a good, long look.

Glad you got to them Bezzo - and they stoked the fires so to speak...   ;)

Haven't the time for a "good long look" just now but saw enough to agree they deserve exactly that.  And, by the way, I had no trouble accessing via Safari since I use the world's "one true computer"!

A ZX Spectrum? Cool!  :)


Smashing reports. Everything has gone decidedly Sudan-shaped around here lately, and I for one approve.
