<t> Notice that I did NOT offer to put the precious bombers in range of the AAMs. That I had a short distance away. Was not going to give up a signficant part of my B-52 forces.<br/>
I did complete my run-thru of this scenario and was awarded victory after sinking a 2nd carrier. It was expensive ...

<t> Yes, yes. Follow the Rules of Engagement. You have your Orders, Commander. And all that...<br/>
<br/>
BUT, it's not fair, he whined. I KNOW he's going to attack. He always does. They don't wait for us to shoot first......[:(]<br/>
<br/>
It is kind of annoying in this scenario with a lack of ...

<t> I have a question about the Orders in some Scenarios. I was giving a try to the 'surprise, surprise' scenario out of the HDS8 battleset in the standard scenarios. It's one of the missions where part of the orders is to not attack until fired upon. Since the AI player is always going to attack ...

<t> IF I'm reading your post correctly, you're playing at 5 MIN:1 ratio??? Not a good idea. I almost never go past 30 secs:1 and that's when I'm almost sure that nothing will happen. If I think combat is about to break out with anything that will be dangerous to my groups, I'm at 5:1 time or 10:1 ...

<t> Some of this may belong in Harpgamer, but I see postings and responses quicker here. I'm trying to use the Caribbean battleset from the new Battlesets that have been posted. And also the HCDA database since it has much more for the countries on this side of the Atlantic. <br/>
Is there a way in ...

Maybe someone can help. It seems as though some of the enemy forces have some "special forces" available that the player doesn't. This is in the Med 2003 battle set and the same thing happens in the Atlantic 2003 scenarios. For instance, I ...

It may have been a competitive even-out issue, too. To give the Red fleet some recon assets. If that plays as the AI side, the AI needs help, especially in Recon. If he can't find the opponent fleet, he never launches a strike.

<t> It was suggested we vote on Map choices for the Battlesets.<br/>
Caribbean definitely - lots of possibilites for smaller conflict scenarios - and maybe a few bigger ones<br/>
South Atlantic - if only for the Falkland Island scenarios. Have not played any of those since H2<br/>
Bering Sea ...

<t> Thanks for the reply Tony. Like I said not a huge problem but it just does not work as I'd expect from other software. I will try the command line option that you gave.<br/>
Realtime minutes sounds like it means time on the clock rather than game time, so if it's saving every 3 minutes, that ...

<t> Not sure if this has been reported before. <br/>
During normal play of a scenario. I have the autosave set to save every X minutes usually like 4 or 5. And I make a 'save as' to name I pick, like 'ICELAND01'. Then when the game does the autosave, it saves over the last save name that I used ...

<t> The included scenarios don't all use the same database? I was thinking they all used the HCDB, but there may be details here that I've never paid attention. <br/>
<br/>
That being said I tried a couple of the scenarios and I see it must be true. That last Scen from the IOPG battleset being one ...

Have to ask: what constitutes "special" armour?

I could not resist !!

<t> A question about the scenarios in the retail package. I have not seen the EC2000 scenarios before. Did not have time to study them closely yet, but the campaigns appear to be very similar to the EC2003 scens, with a theme of EC and Russian cooperation that the US and remaining allies must deal ...

I've never noticed the storms affecting game play much. Of course, that has to do with the staff options as well [ one option is to ignore any weather effects]

This is the uninformed guess, but it would appear to be by the assignment of damage points. The Iowa class is about the only type of ship that can take a hit by the nasty Soviet ship-killer missiles and still be afloat and functional.

For now, I'd recommend a work-around on this. After the planes go to return-to-base, select the plane group and SET the speed to Cruise. Once it's set to Cruise it will stay there.
Yes, kind of annoying but it will work. They won't change speeds on their own

<t> Some of us know - and appreciate - the effort it takes to keep this going. This game - rather Naval Simulation - is not going to sell 500 thousand copies to teenagers. And no company is going to pay for major development. While the Poster is bashing the wish list thread, I want to appreciate the ...

Thanks for the answer. I'll be waiting!

Anybody received a physical copy yet? I signed up for the download + the physical copy, been playing for about a month now....
