Just a bit more info. I have now reinstalled and patched. I 'can' see the races, but the landing page and many of the sub pages do not display...

<t> Hi;<br/>
<br/>
Been a very long time. Fired this up again with the impending Distant Worlds 2 release. The Galactopedia is just blank screens now. I 'think' it has something to do with MS Internet Explorer being updated to Edge. The MHTML files were associated to explorer and would not open. I ...

<br/>
thank you for responding - much appreciated.<br/>
<br/>
Success!! So it appeared to be the .net versions that weren't installed - and that by following your advice were forced to install.<br/>
<br/>
Other points to note. I have turned on Windows 7 compatibility on the ...

<t> So I appear to be having the same issues here.<br/>
<br/>
Fresh install of Windows 10 Home<br/>
Run install - upgrade to latest patch.<br/>
Only get to first splash screen and games stops.<br/>
DW-Crashdump file says I don't have directX directsound<br/>
DXdiag says directX is version 12 ...

I have not done the latest update - but note this in the release notes:

- Fighters now weighted higher when evaluating strength of potential attack targets

Maybe affecting this?

<t> Hi Hi;<br/>
<br/>
I note that fighters don't increase the 'firepower' rating of your ships. This in turn does not add to the strategic rating of your race.<br/>
This in turn lowers your threat to other races - so they don't get the negative 'fear your power' rating - so making friends is ...

<t> All I can say, from our game, that unloading at LaFoa took a long time without naval support - a very long time. They are a blocking force, but with 2 tank Bns there's quite a bit of firepower that won't be taking part.<br/>
<br/>
You are landing in Noumea directly, which I didn't, so maybe of ...

<t> Witpqs has made an awesome and easy to use tool. I thought having to install Python might be a hurdle, but that's as simple as download and choose run, then the downloaded Intelmonkey just goes.<br/>
<br/>
Having the archive switch turned on would have been useful, but from here on, not having ...

Intelmonkey makes its debut.

Brilliant raids against PM. Very good damage on facilities for 18 B24Ds at 10k feet. Keep that commander

<t> Good heavens, you pessimists! Doors of South America indeed. Fiji may be suffering under the yolk of Imperial 'direction', but Samoa and the Phoenix islands are firmly in the hands of the good guys. I think I even gave the cunning Norwegian (cunning, is that better John? [:D] ) a fright with a ...

the depth, dear god, the depth - in this game. Gives me vertigo just opening the case (which is even more impressive because I got the digital download!)

Hm, nice...so now I know what Al got when I invaded and captured his Home Islands [:'(]<br/>
- Looks like it's a good deal for the Allies even if they loose some extra units that have been ferried in to stiffen the Home Island garrisons.

Can B-17s fly in supplies without an airfield? I know the c-47s can airdrop, just didn't think the heavy bombers could do it without runways.

Very nicely done. A bit of a favourite tactic of mine to go on a wee hunt in those waters. Very satisfying if you catch a troop convoy, or a tanker fleet, but a nice supply TF is also good. It might just make Wa pause a bit about having the KB so far forward.

almost adventurous from Wa, you sure Jay hasn't stolen the keys?

Hi George;
&nbsp;
Just caught up. Wow, this is a non-stop slug fest. Fantastic delay action in Burma, and your handling of China is as robust and capable as ever.
&nbsp;
Look forward to see what Wa is up to down the west coast of Oz!

You need Caslon to build stuff. You clearly don't have much. Either start over and look for nearby planets with Caslon or keep going in this game and be sure to build mining stations on nearby planets with Caslon.

A pity Boise has only managed to come out to play, after repairing damage from eating a torpedo, in order to eat another torpedo in our game...

<t> I use a naming convention to help with this:<br/>
<br/>
A destroyer that is missile oriented might be called "Catapult" - but has the postscript: M<br/>
A destroyer that is a torpedo boat might be called "Kaiser" - but has postscript: T<br/>
<br/>
This helps when I go to upgrade manually ...
