<t> @paulderynck<br/> Thank you! I did indeed have to go through the order process with the boxed to discover the shipping.<br/> <br/> I don't mean to sound mean, but by the time the printed manual + shipment was more than the price I was paying for a game I may never load, I decided to manage with ...

<t> Is it possible for someone from Matrix or who knows to answer what "Upgrade to Boxed + digital edition" means in terms of printed manual (and delivery/tax charges if relevant), preferably soon before the sale expires?<br/> <br/> I'm sorry if it's obvious to others, but I cannot find the matching...

I can't even tell what it does mean. It says "&#9744; Upgrade to Boxed + digital edition". Is that Digital Express? Is that Standard? Does it include a printed manual? Shipping? No indication

<r> Thinking of finally picking this up before sale ends. Do I need to spend an extra 75%-odd to get the "Boxed + digital" version? I could not care less about a box or a DVD, I know the manual comes in PDF. What is this "printed, color manual", is that what it comes with? I have a boxed copy of WiF...

That is a good start! I seem to have bought each of the ones I named, not realising they were 95% the same game

<r> Let me see if I understand correctly?<br/> <br/> This game is "Strategic Command WW2 War in Europe", and it's by Fury Software, right?<br/> There is "Time of Fury" (similar screenshots, they also use round-3D icons), by "Wasteland Interactive".<br/> Then there is "Time of Wrath" and "Strategic W...

<r> A couple of points on the answers above:<br/> <br/> * For production, my bottleneck seems to be <I><s>[i]</s>hugely<e>[/i]</e></I> manpower, not factories. When I'm in the build phase, the factory exist/used number shows I have plenty of spare factory capacity; my problem is that many regions' m...

<r> Well, I persevered to the end (unusual for me, I usually give up games after a while, so this must have formed a good impression!).<br/> <br/> After Lincoln's defeat, I lost in January '65, to a decisive Confederate victory [:(] I had complete blockade, most of the Mississippi, a few regions inv...

<t> I am digesting your observations, thanks!<br/> <br/> I have indeed sacked both the "Mc"S. I have also actually finally taken Paducah! Which is very pleasing, if a little futile. The bottom line is that I have about 550 PPs while the CSA has 1K+; and his total number of troops outnumber mine (I'v...

<r> Thank you. My apologies for being dumb, I had thought the "2" amphib meant allows 2 units! For my previous invasions, I must have had 4+, without noticing it.<br/> <br/> <I><s>[i]</s>However<e>[/i]</e></I>, I am then left with behaviour I do not understand. I attach my new Save18, at start of tu...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: rs99z28<br/> Everything sounds like its in place for your invasion, not sure there.

<r> Thanks for all. (Yes, not playing with CSC, not Fog of War --- first ever game!)<br/> <br/> Very politely, you're missing the point I was asking about artillery & infantry mixed under a leader (actually your last sentence is very pertinent, just what I'm seeing). I understand how leader bonu...

<r> I counted. It's Feb '63, and CSA has 4 Ironclads (felt like more!) --- does that sound right? I have managed to build 3 (more in pipeline), having concentrated on Cruisers.<br/> <br/> Here's a question: the manual/tutorials seem to encourage you to include an Artillery piece with an Infantry lea...

<r> I am definitely at 1.040, which was the last. I have indeed been using NY just for Ironclad production, as that's the only place USA can build them. Meanwhile, CSA is building 1 per turn, and by October '62 he has a good half-dozen dotted around. Is that what you meant by "CSA Ironclad productio...

I am indeed at latest (1.040, IIRC). But I'm talking about one ironclad appearing in GoM, sinking my defenceless cruisers --- remember, I'm just learning this game!

<t> @Treefrog<br/> Thank you for your tips. The one about using cavalry with infantry behind to inch forward out West might help me! Also the one about wanting *2* depots.<br/> <br/> It's about August 1862. I let the Confederacy invade Kentucky, and sure enough they have fortified Paducah. I can't s...

Thanks for your comments.

Does <Shift>U actually show any unsupplied anything? How do you know if you are over-stacking, and possibly need to build more depots --- please don't tell me that from the full pop-up information I have to calculate for myself?!

<t> Attrition/Supply:<br/> <br/> It's Winter. I am starting to lose guys from Attrition. I know I can lose troops even if supplied, but 5x more likely if unsupplied. Manual (p.134) says <Shift>+U is a hotkey to show unsupplied regions --- it shows nothing. Possible. As an experiment, I pile up troop...

<t> Naval unit combat is quite beyond me [&:]<br/> <br/> I believe I have discovered:<br/> <br/> * Transports are needed for strategic movement, and amphibious landings. I get their capacity. I (Union) seem to start with so many transports dotted around that I can't see I'm going to need to buil...
