if you turn on British Icon in preferences, during the allies turn the top toolbar still shows the american star instead of the british roundel.
not a mission critical thing but silly all the same

make sure you are using the latest video drivers too
you can get them from www.ati.com

errr i'm confused cos the repair screen only works in the movement phase.

they are cleaner when viewed directly.
my guess is they use an effects plugin to produce the old film style used in the game.
easy done if they are using the mediaplayer SDK

<t> obviously you cant force people to make babies but...<br/>
...why is the population excess from captured territories not added to the total number available (pool i think) in the mother country?<br/>
the left hand number has never changed and the right hand number never improves, any clues ...

i agree with you bob
it does seem a bit arse about face

<t> playing as the germans, why cant i build any military units in captured territorys like vichy france and romania (spelling error in game btw)?<br/>
it seems like territory expands while production capacity remains the same despite there being all the resources, production points etc right there ...

<t> i mean a combination of the two.<br/>
please remember that you guys know how to drive the game implicitly.<br/>
example: i have checked the repair screen every turn, i got lots of red marks but no explanation of how to get rid of them. the manual has about 5 lines about the repair screen<br ...

<t> is it any wonder you cant find things in the manual when e.g. resources are called production points.<br/>
playing the game does not explain how to increase ability.<br/>
the manual is all what something does, no hints or tips are given on how to actually better ones ability.<br/>
again you ...

<t> hi sorry but the production tut is actually useless.<br/>
it is very offputting to begin the tut in the movement phase because it looks like you are being told to end the tut before it has begun. you never actually say that you are beginning in the movement phase.<br/>
i have read the manual ...

<t> I am using an ATI Radeon9250 with the latest catalyst drivers downloaded just now.<br/>
yes i still believe the tutorials to be a bit too minimalist for the newbie...<br/>
...but i also think they are working the way they were intended too.<br/>
sorry but this just does not work.<br/>
the ...

<r> the hard copy does not contain a word about the tutorials or scenarios, the cd version does.<br/>
the front cover picture is different too.<br/>
<br/>
the box cover is rather funny too on the back.<br/>
i quote "experience gaming", "Gary Gr<B><s>[b]</s>y<e>[/b]</e></B>gsby's World at War ...

<t> in the 07 patch it seems ok until the window "To enter movement mode so you can move some units, left click on the unit here to select from the forces in this region."<br/>
3 things stand out at this point.<br/>
1st, i now see the fading colour change in western germany. this does not jump out ...

hi guys

jan, i refer to the out of the box version
i will check the 07 patch forthwith and let you know

Which is the right manual to use?

the hard copy or the soft copy on disk because they appear to be different and i cant tell which one is the latest one

is it just me or has anyone else had trouble with the game tutorials?

the window says "click here" but does not indicate where "here" is.
sometimes it throws out a red line to show you but not all the time.
makes it rather like the blind leading the blind.
