RE: New Wargamer Friendly?

<t> Mainly the way I look at the wargames is there are 2 main different types. Maybe this will help you decide. Before I state this, however, I want to say that all the games mentioned above are awesome.<br/>

Flak Units Question

Does a flak unit with a range of 1 hex (a 1 is shown in the middle of the range hex symbol) suppress interdiction in all the adjacent hexes to the unit, or just the hex that the flak unit itself is in?

Thanks!

Here is how I beat Arracourt 44. I wanted to start with a small scenario, of course. It took took me roughly 6 tries as both Allies and Germans, before I finally won a major victory with the ...

Mouse Over Abbreviations

What do the following mouse over tool tip abbreviations mean?

AT200%, AP200%, (I can figure that SP21% = supply 21%), but AT and AP?

Is there anywhere a complete glossary of in-game abbreviations.

As always, thanks in advance for your kind response.

RE: Mouse over pop-ups?

<t> The new tool tips don't seem to stay on for more than 5 seconds no matter what you set the delay to. If you set the the hide delay to 100 seconds, the tool tip still stays on for only about 5 seconds. Although the location isnt optimal, I still like the new tool tips, especially for the terrain ...

RE: Artwork and user interface

The map looks nice, but the main thing is the clarity and ease of reading over long play periods. Every detail that does exist is very clear and clean. This also gives the map an enhanced sense of spaciousness.

This is my impression.

RE: Gameplay Results Survey

<t> For myself, I've played the game a few times as Russians and have won once. This was with a partial replay gamestyle where I would re-do a turn if it turned out badly. I did this maybe a few times, especially toward the end.<br/>

As the Germans, I'm basically slaughtered by turn 3. Still ...

Yeah Judge, that's the kind of feedback I'm looking for.

Targ, this also what I'm looking for, is players who might not even play the game after purchase.

Will the game run without a sound card? Mine is blown. I can still run Sins of a Solar Empire and many other games, but some games won't launch.
