The game you bought was never promised to have an AI, much less that it would ever be upgraded to that ability.

Caveat emptor and get over it.

I would consider it to be a bug. It is a Nationalist Chinese HQ and should give FTC to Nationalist Chinese units.

I think I agree, but am not yet sure. Could this mean that he can give FTC to 4 units in USSR? Two US and two Chinese.

The rule shown here says that Stilwell counts as a US HQ ...

Why? It doesn't work, to put it bluntly.

No it only comes with those four. BTW, the Barbarossa fast start Russian set-up is quite poor.

I would consider it to be a bug. It is a Nationalist Chinese HQ and should give FTC to Nationalist Chinese units.

The Italian HQ is not a valid secondary supply source for the Hungarian unit because they don't cooperate. Showing that unit as OoS is correct.

If you go back to the beginning in 2013 you'll see that it was released without a promise there would be an AI. It was stated that an AI was an objective of the developer.

I doubt you'll find anyone willing to violate their NDA and send the files anywhere. Suffice to say it is in a state ...

If you look carefully, you will see this latest update actually has two fixes compared to the previous release. Neither is for the AI which remains only a playtester option. The supply fix is irrelevant for the Barbarossa scenario which was the only one to have any AI work done on it.

Given the ...

Update: 8.2.0

Lag is back, at least with some air units at sea and many/all HQs, along with (in this case) may Eastern front land units, and TRS carrying HQs :cry:

And it seems we got some (maybe many) new bugs.

I break down a Mot Corps into 2 divs... and one disappears before the first ...

You should be able to install each version in separate directories when you get the initial question about where to install it. Name the directory appropriately and be sure to rename the shortcut each time, so you can tell them apart.

Looks like the game development has officially ended. The game is what it is from now to eternity. I bought this game and have never played a turn of it on the computer. It is my absolute favorite strat level WWII boardgame.


It is a shame you never played it, unless you had decided to wait for ...

Those with game files where significant lag on supply calculations occur would be prime candidates to re-try those files using 8.02.

Does Vichy have any oil in this game? They have to pass the Iraqi oil on to Germany.

I see why I got the 5.33, I was adding 3 for the notional but it is only 2.

So 13 to 5 yields +5.2 then -1 for the city and +1 for the notional = +5.2 net. That chart, which is a really old chart does show +1 only for notionals (like a flipped division).

Looks to me the game is not applying the ...

I have a hazy recollection that the territorial bonus does not apply when they are in their own country.

So without the notional I get +8.667 - 1 for the city = 7.667

With the notional, I get +4.33 - 1 for the city +2 for the notional = 5.33.

According to the rules, the Italian units are surprised in a naval/naval air combat if no French units are included in that combat. So it depends what the search rolls produce.

For example Italy finds and neither the CW or French find. Italy would be wise to choose a box where only French units ...

Double click an empty all land hex. Then as you hover over occupied hexes, a flyout should pop up showing the contents. You can even select units from the flyout.

The reverse of this is for getting naval review details. For that you double click an empty sea dot.

So if the flyout is not popping up ...

The only reason I can think of has to do with really ugly creepy crawly multilegged things inhabiting the software.

Does Command/Distance Calculator (CTRL-D) not work? Has hex count and something called "air distance".

Thanks very much, Orm.
