UPDATE: Euro/Web-Grognards: 2/11/95 From: A.Poulter@lut.ac.uk (Alan Poulter) Date: Fri, 03 Nov 1995 00:00:00 +0000 Hi, A list of new links and files on Euro/Web-Grognards follows. Each file has its location and name for anonymous FTP from Euro-Grognards. On Web-Grognards follow the 'new' icons with your browser. For access details see below. IMPORTANT: my PC server for Web-Grognards UK at:- http://pc-lsx129.lut.ac.uk/grognard looks like it may be down for a while with a hardware fault with the monitor. So you *must* use Web-Grognards USA at:- http://nyx10.cs.du.edu:8001/~apoulter/home.html until further notice. The Challenge: Dave Bieksca guessed SimCan's Lee at the Crossroads. Well done Dave - you beat all our 'resident' winners! A number of people guessed the battle (I scanned in a recognisable part of the map) but had no idea which game it was. TIP for would-be winners: check out the games by subject files on Web-Grognards if you think you know the battle/game but cannot remember the title. Another Challenge awaits! - or at least it will when the PC server comes back up :-( Availability: See above notice. It is getting a bit much running two file stores, two servers and two sets of HTML pages, especially when the servers collapse and people cannot access them. I am now seriously investigating alternative means of delivering Web-Grognards.
