RE: Give it 6 months

<t> I played Husky and Air Campaign.<br/> <br/> Then jumped into the 43 campaign. Restated 3 times, as I keep finding things to do better (like take 4 Amphib back to largest ports in Africa right after completing the Sicily invasion).<br/> <br/> Each time I get more involved.

Br Airb denied US Trans AC?

Air Campaign - am I this bad?

<t> I have attempted the Air Campaign Training scenario several times now. I cannot come close to even a draw. I tried using the default Air Doctrines. I tried some of my own. I moved aircraft and not moved them. I have changed flight paths to avoid flak, changed the 7 day schedules, tried having so...

Deja Vu - Recollections of an old wargamer

<t> Let me first say I love the small taste of WitW of have played so far (Major Victory in Husky[:)], and total failure in Air Campaign[8|])<br/> <br/> As for how WitE and WitW have come to be, and for the plans for a WiE, it is amazing how the history of this game parallels SPI's boardgames of the...

Advice

<t> I had to hiccup starts - I appears I need to build more military units to be ready for alien aggression. Yet my units appear quite weak (3.4 pwr for a colonial trooper with steel armor and defense deflector device.) Compare that to 8.0 to 10.0 beasts out there.<br/> <br/> What am I missing. If I...

RE: Gee, now what have I not done?

<t> I solved this.<br/> <br/> I ran one race (with my top auriga) a the Circus Maximus. He lost his chariot while leading around the last turn, was dragged, and escaped (wasn't chancing trying to cross the finish line with him). Well, this un-glorious end still ended the campaign, with me amassing a...

Gee, now what have I not done?

My best auriga is now the faction leader, has the most Global and local wins located at the Circus Max...

<t> Don't get me wrong - this is a great game.<br/> <br/> But...<br/> <br/> To win the Epic Campaign right now, at least in the situation I'm in, is a bit rough.<br/> <br/> I have one Auriga at 13 wins, another at 10 and the last at 4 wins.

4 Wins at CM - Campaign not ended?

I earned my way to the Circus Maximus, won 3, then a 4th race there, and still the campaign has not ended.

Is it because my Global fame is Worshiped, and not Mythical? I believe it was Mythical to gain access, but dropped after that.

Access to Circus Maximus?

I won my first epic campaign, and in my second.


I remember jumping around in the first to get fame to be allowed access to the Circus Maximus in Italia. But it seems I have tremendous fame everywhere now, and yet no access. What is the requirement again?
