English advance was through sewn fields. It had rained heavily during the night. The English advance was in stages so they could rest and keep their line. Advance was about a thousand yards, iirc. Then the archers advanced to goad the French with long range shot, and retreated back behind their stakes frieze. The French horses churned up the ground on the flanks. This would have affected any hypothetical French crossbow advance on the wings, as shown in the game. The French center, the vanguard, was deeply packed with ranks, one source asserts thirty deep: but that would probably have been after the frontage compacted. The ground out in front of the English second position would have quickly been churned into a muddy mess. This did not prohibit movement, obviously, but it had to affect it: almost entirely affecting the French attacks, with minimal effect on English movement since they stood to receive the French attack. That effect was to tire the advancing men at arms and slow them down. When it came their turn to counterattack, the English advanced beyond their second position, pushed through the broken and now retreating vanguard, and attacked the French main. The ground did not prohibit the English from launching such an attack. When I play Agincourt, the only effect that I consider for the mud is to slow down any troops moving through it. Usually I have cut movement by half. |

As soon as I post and it appears, below it the Add Comment window contains the OP text. I have to select all and delete it, or else it would appear every time I post………………. |

TMP link it appeared first in this thread………….. |

Furthermore, when I click "edit", my post as composed disappears and is replaced by the OP text. Annoying! I have to either remember to select and copy, and then past the post over the appearing text, or back up and do it and then proceed to edit by pasting the post text to be edited over the appearing text. And when I click "Change" it replaces the edited version with the text (as it appears in this OP), which is further annoying, because when I click "Done" it looks like the spurious text is going to appear in the edited post; but *whew!* it doesn't, or else my editing ability would be cooked…………. |

I don't think that's caused by TMP… |

I've deleted cookies and rebooted. The OP text still shows in the "Add Comment" window. I have Webroot Secure Anywhere. No indications of any nefarious stuff on my machine. |

I think that if it was a TMP bug it would affect more than just your machine? It may be time for calling in a computer doctor? |
Great War Ace | 06 Nov 2016 8:41 a.m. PST |
True. Which was my purpose in posting this. If nobody else has seen the phenomenon, then it is my machine. But, this is a first and only, in over fifteen years. And my machine is almost brand new (March of this year), and I have had Webroot Secure Anywhere on it from the getgo. No other artifacts or anomalies have manifested to indicate that my machine needs a "doctor"……………. |

How odd: the text is gone this morning. I see a nice blank box to Comment in. I wonder what that was all about?………………. |
Great War Ace | 09 Nov 2016 8:14 p.m. PST |
Ack! It's BACK. What the heck????? |
Great War Ace | 08 Dec 2016 8:57 a.m. PST |
Update: The text disappeared c. a week ago. When I post on TMP and Plus, the Comment box is blank. Thank goodness I did nothing differently to account for this "on again off again" phenomenon. I am crossing my fingers. It will remain a mystery forever, or not, depending………….. |

I will put in a plug here for Mark Twain's "historical" novel about Joan of Arc. That's my favorite version of the story. It was his favorite work and he took twelve years on it, running the manuscript under his wife's critical eye. I have only seen snatches of the Mila movie, and it seems excellent, so I bought the DVD (yet to view it). The Ingrid Bergman portrayal is excellent. But if you want to get into the spirit of this story, I recommend the silent film, "The Passion of Joan of Arc" (Criterion edition). Watch it with Richard Einhorn's "movie score" going. My belief about what Joan of Arc was is that she was inspired not insane. Arguably they are the same thing, or the one can lead to the other. True inspiration can make a mind insane. It won't rest until the vision is complete. Failure to accomplish the vision will bring on madness. There was nothing irrational about following the commands of a girl in plate armor who was a winner. Everybody back then believed in angels and demons. Depending on which side you were on, Joan was listening to one or the other………….. Not what you think: this is not the Bug stealing posts and putting them somewhere else. No. This is the same thing as I described above. "It", whatever "It" is, is BACK. That post on Joan of Arc, which I posted this afternoon, is the first instance of the returned weirdness. If anyone has any idea of what could cause this, then cause it to go away for weeks/months, and then just suddenly reappear, please chime in! |
