Ok so for "FUN" and reminiscence purposes i am supplying a download link for the Multi-player demo of Fallout Tactics the birthplace of The Khans. If anyone is wanting to join in on what will be a series of Events and games hosted on specific days (to be announced) make sure you REPLY in this area so we can get a rough estimate on player numbers.
Here's the download link provided by NMA. www.nma-fallout.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=891
Once downloaded just run the installer. You will be offered the chance to download GameSpy Arcade. Do NOT do this, it's a waste of time as it is now offline. We should be able to play by direct IP.
If however this is an issue we can sign up to www.gameranger.com and play the demo there. GameRanger is basically a bad copy of GameSpy Arcade that now supports many of it's games.
So with all that said, Who's joining in on this sometime?

The Demo's multiplayer - although simple, was vastly superior to the multiplayer options the game provided and a lot of fun. I will be returning to play this  |

Might have issues with fullscreen mode. In my case fullscreen mode was default and was all black screen but fixed it with making a desktop shortcut of the game, right clicking it, pressing properties, and write -w (for windowed) after the source in "Target".

Sven and I played several matches successfully. Some lag issues at first, but we got past all that!
We now have a working model.

Haha yeah, it was a hell of a fight, and I gave him +5 from a well placed mine on his part!

Mines is what gives the demo games the extra nerve.
One trick i used right before the community moved to the real FOT was a mine and flanking maneuver.
I spawned in the low left building on the skirmish map. Ran fast as hell to mine that door at the right building while i ran with one guy not sneaking in a deceptive maneuver to the back door of that building. That guy hunker down in that building thinking i was going to rush him. Instead i snuck all my guys around the building rushing him from the backdoor.
He paniced and ran with all his characters, in formation, straight to the mines.

I was lucky enough to get 5/6 of Freaks guys in our last match with a mine  |

Another trick is to place 2 mines together and then have a nader on aggressive snekaing within range. The nades will trigger the mines.
