Hello all,

I've been playing Blue Max for over a year, but now, finally playing WSIM for the first time.

My question/problem is with fouling. I have been fouled up now for 11 turns with the ENEMY. The unfoul button had been set at enemy, but I changed it to 'all' some turns back due to desparation.

Is this normal?? Is this common??? What are the odds of unfouling on a given turn?? I presume they're not as likely as putting a fire out in BM. Although I can remember a game or two where the my fire raged on long enough to roast a pig

The game is 14332 for the curious. Oh and my guns have been out for 10 of those turns. This adds to the agony, the other guy just cant seem to finish me. I cant fire back (unless I can turn) and I cant move.

Thanks,

Bear


I just figure you would have surrendered.

That said, regardless of how it modeled on in the game, fouled is simply broken.

Far TOO easy to foul when you do not want. I can see to ships that are on different sides and one deliberately tries an attempt to foul, but accidentally doing it to yourself is silly.

Its all about playability.


It's easy to foul oneself when you are learning the game, but to the experienced player, fouling oneself is very embarrassing and, yes, makes you feel silly.
