Do any members know anything about these computer moderated rules, or the manufacturers?
I ordered a set on disc two weeks ago, and haven't heard anything since. I've emailed the proprietors and haven't had a reply.
Is any member a bit wiser and more knowledgeable about this than me? |

Haven't heard of them I'm afraid. But what a name! I'm not sure it sounds very wholesome ordering a Hard Pounding! |

I had a set for the Amiga and PC many years ago. They were writen in BASIC. Hopefully they've been rewritten by now because mine don't work on a modern PC. |

Ah, shouldn't be too hard to re-write into C or Java for a newer computer, but it's beyond my capabilities to do right now. Any college computer-science major should be able to translate them if you can get the original BASIC printout. |

I think they are still avaialble through English Wargames..I had them years and years ago, but dont know it they were ever updated link |

Their website says that they're updated etc. I ordered a copy, but haven't heard anything from them. They haven't replied to my emails either. |

You could probably get a BASIC compiler from somewhere anyway. |

Should have asked me first…if it's horse and musket you're interested in you're best bet would have been Carnage and Glory. db |
