Re: Scott's Guide to DW2 available to download (version 2.9)

Scott this guide has really sped up my learning. One question: do you plan further updates? I note some of the Fleet behavior issues you’ve identified appear to have been corrected in later game updates.

Thanks much for all your work on this. I especially love the mechanics deep dive videos!

RE: Newbie Unit Counter Graphics Questions: TOAW 3 conversion and differential counters

OK. Thanks. Bollux. I may have to do what I want in TOAW 3. Hmmm...but the naval hardware simulation in TOAW 3 was no where near as robust I think.

RE: Vietnam Combat Operations update

<t> EDIT: Actually, forgive the re-necro'd thread but let me actually ask a clear question:<br/>
<br/>
Are the VCO scenarios playable as designed in TOAW 4. Sorry but it's not clear to me (a comparative TOAW newbie) if the VCO series plays correctly in TOAW 4 or if I should go back to my copy of ...

RE: Update v4.1.0.40

<t> Hey folks! Just saying that I too, as a new buyer in Sept 2020, experienced the issue where the scenario documents button stops leading to Scenario documents in the installed game path Scenario folder after the 0.40 update. This occurred on a fresh install of the Matrix or Steam versions. Of ...

RE: Newbie Unit Counter Graphics Questions: TOAW 3 conversion and differential counters

<t> phew. Ok. Thank you all for those references! I'll see what I can kludge together. For what I have in mind representing both sides using unique elements on the same counter sheet should actually work...EXCEPT...<br/>

1. From my forum reading I think that each individual counter on the ...

Thanks! My forum search clearly did not include the obvious course of searching for the patch name and not the problem description. Thanks!<br/>

I have effectively (with dduckett's assistance above) duplicated your solution linked above and I'm glad that my install ...

Newbie Unit Counter Graphics Questions: TOAW 3 conversion and differential counters

<t> BLUF:<br/>
1. Is it possible to import TOAW 3 scenarios with custom graphics to TOAW 4 without manually converting those files to the new TOAW 4 graphical system? Essentially redrawing them.<br/>
2. Can one make a scenario in which the two Forces have different shapes on their counters? I see ...

RE: Scenario documents button always blank in .40

<t> OK again. I learned two things.<br/>
<br/>
First - the user-created scenario I downloaded for testing did not use a file format for its documents that TOAW IV recognized. When I changed the doc to the right format it worked.<br/>
<br/>
Second - your trick with moving out-of-the-box scenarios ...

RE: Scenario documents button always blank in .40

OK. Thanks for that answer. Wierd. I looked at this in version 0.20 before I installed 0.40 and it worked. I promise. Opened up Word automatically and everything.

Scenario documents button always blank in .40

<t> New player and an odd issue. I'm running the 4.1.0.40 version of the game.<br/>
<br/>
Just bought it a few days ago. In 0.20 the "scenario documents" button in the scenario selection screen works. I happened to check that when I first booted the game after initial install and before I updated ...

Sorta Radical Modding Question

<t> Wondering if modding TOAW 4 and using the scenario editors could be the engine for an operational level science fiction game. As in one with spacecraft on spacecraft combat. If anyone is familiar with Task Force Games/Amarillo Design Bureau's pen and paper Star Fleet Battles tactical game and ...

RE: Noob having problems with design sizes

OK, simple question that I cannot figure out. Does the private sector move components or just resources?

Components are in cargo so that would seem to indicate that they can be transported...

Thanks and v/r
