Hi all... again.
Doing it this way works better actually. I can just use a Thunderbird filter to put it all in it's own little folder, whilst with the other one I was never sure if I was missing messages. I'll go take a look at the stuff I've missed on here soon.
As to the idea of different genres, sounds good, I've had a few other ideas I wouldn't have minded trying out.
I'm going to be slow in releasing anything, possibly, as I'm thinking of rejigging my space combat system. Not sure how yet but will trial a few ideas. 

Hope all are well.

Actually, just a thought. Think about this one for a while.
What map packs would you like to see in a release of tactical battles? Maybe if we made some maps from diffrent genres, nothing too complicated, it could show off the power of the game engine? Carlos, Austen, Ian, I really dig the idea of having the maps available ins ome fashion. I really jazzed about that!

    Hi all, just a quick email.

    Thanks for all your suggestions, they are good as always and I've
    added
    them to my list.

    Thanks for your maps Austen and Carlos.
    Carlos, I haven't downloaded the maps yet but as Allan said they
    have a
    problem unzipping you should double check that they are working
    properly.  I'll get them tonight when I have time.

    Here's my thought on the central location for maps.  It's a good
    idea as
    it is difficult to comb through old emails for them.

    I can make a page and put a link to each map pack along with the
    name of
    it and the author.

    You guys would provide the links, so for dropbox that is just a
    public
    link as Austen has been doing.

    Then when you update your map pack you just update the public file in
    dropbox so the public link does not change.  This way I only have to
    update the website whenever a new map pack comes into existance, not
    every time it gets updated.
    Also download bandwidth and restrictions are handled by dropbox or
    sendspace.

    Allan, if you can do the same thing with sendspace such that when you
    update the map pack people can use the old link to get the updates
    then
    that will work fine.  Otherwise consider trying dropbox.

    This solution will make it so I don't need to upload files to my
    server
    but just update map pack links, and only do that when new map
    packs come
    around.

    Please send me these links whenever they are ready and I'll get
    started
    on that page tonight.

    Thanks!
    Ian Reed
