Re: Current State Playability?

Thank you Centuur and paulderynck for your quick and detailed replies. No reason now to not jump into the deep end of the pool. I managed to snag a copy of the hardbound rule books so plan to read those over the holiday weekend and then see how badly I can muck up Operation Barbarossa next week. I'm ...

Current State Playability?

I purchased WiF a couple of Christmas sales ago but never got around to playing it until now. Before delving head first into it and reading through the hundreds of pages of rules (which I really appreciate the effort the developer put into the documentation), is the game in its current state ...

Re: CMO v1.07 Update - Build 1544

Is this beta available on Steam? I tried moving to the beta version on Steam the day the beta was announced but it moved me back to 1.06.xxxxx. Thought maybe it takes a few days for the team to make it available on Steam so thought I'd ask before trying again.

Re: Is there a release date?

There was an announcement in the last week or so that stated they pushed the release date to Tuesday 11/19 so as to not release on a Friday and be able to provide better support.

Re: What did you learn after playing CMO?

I primarily learned that I suck at naval tactics. Well, also suck at air tactics. Probably should add in sucking at ground tactics as well. Maybe I should just have been a Quaker...

In all seriousness, I developed a new appreciation on the importance of TOT strikes and the real complexity in trying ...

Great! Look forward to re-learning the game once the next beta patch is released.

Re: Tutorial One - Insufficient Transport for Scouts?

For kicks and giggles, I installed a clean version of the game using Matrix's installers (i.e not through Steam) and updated to the latest Beta available on Matrix's site. After doing so and starting a new Tutorial 2 game, I see the same problem with the scout platoons having insufficient transport ...

Re: Tutorial One - Insufficient Transport for Scouts?

I forgot to answer your other question regarding whether this was happening in new games or from game saves originally started prior to the beta patch. In all cases this problem occurs with brand new games.

The Tutorial files are dated 4/18/24 on my computer. See Screenshot below. I failed to mention that this is a Steam installation. I've not installed the matrix version on my PC but can do so if needed for testing.

I have installed the latest beta (v2.1.4.8215) and am seeing the same problem with the US scouts in Tutorial 1 & 2 not having sufficient transport. Consequently, the poor guys are having to hoof it to the objectives and get their long after the $#@! Ruskies have captured the objectives. See below ...

Help Understanding Usage of GR Strategy Cards

I recently returned to the game and am confused with the usage of the new GR Strategy cards such as GR Optics or GR Ringmail.... When I click to use one of these strategy cards, it says the technology is now ready to be deployed, or something to that affect, but I don't see any change to my unit ...

Re: EIA v1.25.03 Official Update HOTFIX Available

I play exclusively solitaire and admittedly not as often as I'd like. What you have done for this game is amazing. The only real quibble I have is the resolution challenges trying to play on a modern wide screen monitor. Having to manually lower resolution every time I play is a bit of a downer but ...

Re: Manual Updated for new DLC?

I found the updated manual is available on the Steam DLC's web page. Lower left side of the page, you can get the manual. I did find it out that the manual provided as part of the DLC download doesn't appear to be updated (at least not on my PC).

When Vic implemented aircraft in the game, the manual was updated for the new mechanics. Will the same happen with the release of the new DLC? Just wondering how well or where the new Maritime Trade House mechanics will be documented.

Accuracy of Printed Manual Post Patches?

I am considering upgrading my digital version to the physical edition for the printed manual. As I've not learned the game yet, can anyone tell me how heavily the patches have changed the rules in the physical manual? Is reading the physical manual still a good way to learn the game?

Re: How to tilt Map

Pike and shot is a much older game than Field of Glory II and uses an older engine (I believe). Consequently, it is not possible to dynamically tilt the map in P&S like you can in FOG 2. You can manually edit a "Mapview.txt" file found in the DATA subdirectory to adjust the over all viewing angle ...
