<t> Hello! I have just started a new game and I have a unit of 60 engineers that I would like to start building a road, but instead when I hover over the "road icon", I see this message: "Unit is not capable of build road"<br/>
<br/>
It's not an issue of terrain, as the terrain is flat and not ...

I don't want "no water" - I want water - but I don't want tiny little islands all over the place. I want 5 or 6 large continents and then some smaller islands too if necessary.

The "land map" does not mean no water. The "no water map" means no water.

I forgot to mention - this is with Advanced Tactics GOLD version.

<t> HellO!<br/>
<br/>
I am attempting to build an "unplayably large" game with 14 players, a land map with big continents.<br/>
<br/>
Yet invariably, the majority of the "continents" are tiny islands with maybe one or two big continents.<br/>
<br/>
I've created 15 different games, and the same ...

I'm having major problems trying to download the 1.15 update for Advanced Tactics from the Matrix website.<br/>
So I came here to the forums, hoping for a better link.&nbsp; Unfortunately, the one posted here in this thread gives me a 404 webpage not found error.<br/>
Is Matrix ...

<t> My thanks to Slowhand for his willingness to step back aside once I was made aware that the game had started, however once I was dismissed from this game so quickly, I joined another. <br/>
<br/>
As I have no interest in playing two games at once, I will remain away from this one and I ...

<t> I see. Clearly, this isn't a group I'm interested in playing with anyway then, given your complete lack of patience when there's no possible way I was to know the game was about to start...sheesh, talk about ridiculous.<br/>
<br/>
I'm a very reliable player and very prompt, but I'm not sure ...

I'm confused...I thought I was ...

I'd be willing to take Russia or Turkey (either one), and I agree about the 2-round breather...that's a good idea.

No, I've used the action cards to denote placement of my reinforcements, but that seems to be the only thing I can do. I never receive any other reinforcements (other than the aforementioned three rockets per turn).

<t> I'm having a problem with it. I don't have any action cards for purchasing units, so I'm stuck with whatever the game gives me as reinforcements (which appears to only be one set of 3 rockets per turn).<br/>
<br/>
I have the action cards for owning neutral countries and the action cards for ...

Umm...why does it say that this version is not officially supported? Should I hold off on installing it? Is there some expected problem with it?

I'm 41 and just moved to Reno, Nevada (USA).

<t> Is there any difference at all between the various populations (Liberal Front, People's Army, Fascist Corporation, etc...)? For instance, to they each have their own plusses and minuses or are they all exactly the same and simply names for distinction?<br/>
<br/>
(I'm hoping the former...)<br ...

<t> Ok, I think I understand what you guys are saying regarding the anti-supply rules. One more question on that...does that mean the red "hex-coverage/ownership" lines are relatively meaningless? Because I'll have a clear path to my units in that regard (though a narrow one), and they'll still be ...

It can be a bit long on larger maps...I simply read a book while I'm waiting for the AI to make it's moves. Keeps my time enjoyable.

<t> I have a couple of questions which I haven't been able to find within the old forum entries:<br/>
<br/>
1) Unloading troops from my transport ships - I couldn't seem to make this work. How do I do it? Do I already have to own the area first? How do I secure a beachhead then?<br/>
<br/>
2 ...

For some reason, I seem to remember this coming up but I can't find the thread...is Puresim perfectly compatible with Internet Explorer 7.0?

My system wants to auto-upgrade to it, so that's why I'm asking. (smile)

<t> Here's my take on it.<br/>
<br/>
Listening to the BASEBALL TONIGHT crew with Kruk and Dusty Baker...it sounds to me like using pine tar by pitchers to get a better grip on the ball is ACCEPTED PRACTICE within baseball circles.<br/>
<br/>
Certainly it's not something that's commonly known ...

<t> I think you have to take into account a player's age before stating that longer-term contracts should be higher.<br/>
<br/>
For a young player and a middling-age player, who would be more likely to want a shorter contract so he can "cash in" when he makes it big, I agree with you...longer ...
