Indeed. Some terrain needs such a high number of MP to enter it cannot be attacked except by a unit that hasn't moved at all.

Impassible hexside terrain (such as a super river)?

Okay....so what happens at the portion where the two theathers meet? What about air units? Naval units? Say I have two theathers that meet at hex x. I then have units in hex z and y. I first use the whole turn to attack the enemy in it's hex which is ...

<t> I do watch the replay, but with one eye ... do something else with the other. Just so I get the general trend of my opponent's moves--where is he advacing, where holding, where retreating, where reinforcing, &c. Granted I could probably get the same idea by comparing the map at the end of my old ...

<t> I have a Pentium IV, built 2002. I am thinking about getting a new machine because some newer games run veeeeery slow on this one. TOAW, OTOH, does fine (though loading a huge new scenario can take from a few seconds up to half a minute). <br/>

I find it excellent that TOAW does not ...

I take it you're seeing the units go to combat support, without having noticed them being on combat support previously. My guess is that they were ordered to attack a hex directly, and afterwards switched to combat support, <I><s>[i]</s ...

Ok, it is a game, but it would be a nice feature to be able to use terrain to encircle units. Something based on number of combat turns and movement points needed to enter a terrain determining if unit would evaporate or be able to retreat ...

Does it really do that? I have never noticed. Under which circumstances? [&:]

I am playing this right now. It's the version that comes with the game. I am also seeing carriers.

Au contraire, it is in full swing ... though until now the frontlines have moved very little. Do you want end of turn SAL files? [:)]

I was just curious if there was some way to check the support levels of units without doing a scenario dump or playing the scenario several turns as you suggested.

Not sure if this is the answer you are looking for ...

Well, I didn't experience this odd thing today. Maybe it has gone away again. [:)]

It happens to me with several different opponents. Whatever is the source of the problem, it's most definitely on my side. [8|]

Well, we shall see. [>:] Maybe tomorrow I wake up and it's just gone away.

<r> Thanks again, Jamiam.

<t> Thanks! I will observe this some more, but I usually don't play with invisible units, hence I should be surprised if I should close the game with units invisible. Besides, this has not happened before to me in nearly two years of TOAW, and since yesterday it has happened every time ... so maybe ...

Update: Telumar and I will test the scenario, if you like. If you want us to play blind, I suppose you should set it up and send us the .pbl file and the other files that are needed? Or whatever you prefer. [:)]

I have had three playbacks without visible units now (except the unit currently moving). When I get to my own move, the units are set to invisible, I can set them back to visible and they're there, but the replay is of little value this way. Any ideas? Thanks. [:)]

I - toggles counters on/off as well as showing the ranges. I use it mainly to toggle counters off so I can what the terrain/tailines/bridges look like.
