Hud overlay - shapes on ships

I’ve looked high and low for this information, but I just can’t seem to find it. But I think I saw this explained somewhere in the past, but I can’t locate that material. What are the overlay shapes on top of the ships? What do they represent. For example there are triangles and there are circles ...

Java?? Oh no!

<t> Well I'm more or less enjoying CEAW but it runs fairly slow on my PC and I only get 2 levels of zoom (really far away and far away). I am somewhere between a state of denial and state of disbelief that this game was written (at least in part) in java. I have a fairly old PC (only 512 meg of ...

RE: Hex sizes on screen

Middle zoom? I get 2 zoom levels: the far away NATO zoom and a slightly closer Unit Graphics zoom. I'd like to be able to zoom in further (like the screen shots show) but it doesn't do so when I scroll with the mouse wheel or hit "+".

Hex sizes on screen

<t> This is a different question from the other posts regarding screen resolution but perhaps related. I just got this game and it runs ok but the hex sizes on the screen seem to be small and hard to see when using the zoomed in mode (the one showing the graphical depiction of the units, not the ...

RE: Can someone sum up for me the differences between this game and Strategic Command 2 with WAW?

I assume both of these games are better than the old P**** General? (insert People's, Panzer, Pacific, etc.) Thanks since I am looking at both but haven't played either...

RE: Age Group Playing AT

<t> Wow - the Marx WWII Battleground set! My friend had that and it was awesome. My folks couldn't afford it - I got the generic army men in a clear plastic bag with the stapled cardboard at the top. I think they were in some awful colors like green and orange - the guys mixed together in the same ...

RE: Good for single-player?

Can someone describe in detail what the new weapons are as well as any difference in mechanics between this and the original CC series? Just trying to understand how the game has been modernized beyond new graphics. Thanks.

Help with Supply and ZOC

<t> I try to read the manual before posting here but I'm having difficulty putting the various references in the manual together into a single understandable story for 2 things. Can someone help by explaining:<br/>

a) how you block supply to the enemy? Do you just need units "generally ...

AT Graphics Bug?

<r> When I go to the subformation detail screen, there seems to be a problem displaying the graphic in certain scenarios (from the AT community web site). The picture in the upper left hand corner of the screen is only partially displayed. Only about 1/4 the picture is shown.<br/>

I see this ...
