<r> As I learn this little beauty, I would like to know what would be the best options and settings to maxmize FoW. Using intermediate difficulty now, but what role does difficulty play in FoW? What about the AI setting for show moves and messages? And yes I am reading the manual, but its pretty ...

<t> Thirty-Eight years of cardboard/PC gaming experience and I am Very Impressed with World-at-War. New personal favorite over WitpAE. A fun and simple, yet attractive, interface with a complex cruncher underneath. Like the nuts and bolts? Then read the manual, she is no shallow gal. Looking forward ...

<t> Seeing same error after Staff had fixed an account issue (password mis-match) on my Matrix/Slitherine account(s). After fix could access PBEM, then successfully changed password for both Matrix/Slitherine account(s) and now see this error. Complete new install of game, no joy same error.<br ...

I retired Feb '02 on USS Louisiana SSBN-743.

Its all there, just have to scroll to the right, a lot:)

1997.... '95

<r> Rounding out this mornings caffeine fueled nostalgia trip is yours truly, Topside Maine, coming down the Cumberland River and performing my last re-enlistment. Circa 1995. That should be five-oh, only took nine years....<br/>

Apologies, Think I need to check the size of photo uploads first..............

<r> This is a pic of my Grandfather (Dad's Dad) in Early Jan 1945 after completing basic in Maryland. As a Foreman at a Coal Mine in southern WV, he was not selected for service until Dec 1944. With 3 children, and being 35 years old, he was one of last big drafts for Pacific War. The issue was ...

<r> So here is a post-card of Randolph in '56 when my Dad left the ship.<br/>

Nice..... Somehow I have 2 accounts on the Forum. Think this was the after-effects of Siltherine account consolidation.....

<t> Enforcer, still looking? I would be interested, assuming GC2 means the Dec 8th start scenario? Have completed one PBEM campaign, and playing an IRONMAN scenario now as Allies.<br/>
<br/>
Only thing is I would do it if using 2day/turn, I wont do 1 day turns on campaigns anymore. Think that 2day ...

Thanks for all the input, will decide this weekend and maybe upgrade the SSD to 500GB as well. Cheers to all!

Thanks again, will definitely look to upgrade the SSD. Disappointing about WIN 10, have not used that OS, but surprised that eats so much space.

<t> Thanks PiP, the SSd and Grafx card were something I though would be significant. Thanks for verifying that. About the SSD, I assume the OS install and app installs would default to the SSD, and I see the TB drive as a place to put lots of infrequently accessed information (pictures, download etc ...

<r> Thanks for the input Zak. Below are the specs of what was my first choice, ~ $200 more than the above, but at the limit of what I have budgeted. The other benefits of this machine are dual 4K output via Thunderbird 3.0 among others.<br/>

<r> Finance Minister has authorized funding of new hardware acquisition (laptop). I have a dell laptop in mind that I can purchase though my employer at a decent discount. The general specs are below. My concern is about any issues with the Matrix Games I play: WitW, WiptAE, and COMMAND. Any ...

Fantastic, PM sent.

<t> You may be right about the futility of re-focusing the AI, but I do recall over the years seeing posts on this forum where some would take the AI's place and help correct some of the problems. How successful those efforts were I cant say, but if you have tried with no success then the same may ...
