capturing a screen shot - how???

<t> Oberst-<br/>
<br/>
You said that there is a screen capture feature built in, but I can't seem to make the "create map image" buttons work...<br/>
<br/>
I know that there is photo-editing software available, but first I need to get a screen shot captured; how do I do that?<br/>

RE: East & West Front 1942-1945 scenario

Is there a functioning PBEM version of this available anywhere? I can't seem to find it on the Wargamecollege site....

Thanks!

RE: Version 3.4 won't run - IT WILL NOW!

<t> OK, I got it running, it seems....<br/>
<br/>
Apparently the problem is that I set up 3.4.0.202 in a separate folder. When I copied the 3.4.0.202 exe to the 3.2.29.27 folder and opened it from there, it worked! Of course, it first deleted all of my saves from the 3.2.29.27 folder; fortunately ...

<t> The 3.4.0.201 beta no longer appears on the Matrix site anywhere, at least anywhere that I can find...<br/>

I can't believe there is not a solution to this...<br/>

Do I have to install the 3.4.0.202 over my old versions, so they no longer exist??? Some threads seem to suggest ...

RE: Version 3.4 won't run

<t> Still having no luck....<br/>
<br/>
I uninstalled all versions that I could figure out how to uninstall, then reinstalled in order (3.2.29.27, then alpha 3.4.0.178). They both seem to work OK.<br/>
<br/>
Then I tried installing 3.4.0,202. It said it installed OK, but no desktop shortcut. And ...

RE: Version 3.4 won't run

<t> That didn't do it, either....<br/>
<br/>
I am currently running both the earlier version (3.2.29.27) and the earlier "beta" patch (3.4.0.178) without any trouble. <br/>

What changed between 3.4.0.178 and the "full" patch (3.4.0.202) that could be causing the latest version not to run ...

RE: Version 3.4 won't run

A couple of interesting phenomena that may help diagnose: when I installed it, the last screen of install (when it says installed OK) said to use ...

RE: Effect of disbanding units

<t> So, if a player 2 unit is in supply at the start of player 1's turn, and then player 1 surrounds the unit in his turn, player 2 can still disband the unit in his turn, and all of the equipment goes into the pool?<br/>
<br/>
That seems to be a neat way to "escape" the encirclement, and is ...

Effect of disbanding units

<t> It is my understanding that, when a unit is disbanded, its "equipment" goes into the replacement pool.<br/>
<br/>
Is that also the case if the unit is surrounded when it disbands?<br/>
<br/>
If so, that does not make sense to me.<br/>
<br/>
Does anyone know how that works? Has it always ...

That did not do it....<br/>

I've saved my last few turns to a new folder "toawsave", outside of the TOAW III game folders, to give the saves a shorter path.<br/>

That changed nothing. I still don't get end of turn save files, even when I am player 2 in the ...

<t> Is it possible to have two versions of TOAW III on your computer at the same time?<br/>

No "End of Turn" save file

<t> I hope someone that knows what is "under the hood" in this game can help me with this nagging problem....<br/>
<br/>
I never, or hardly ever, get an end of turn save file after I complete a PBEM turn. I got a few early on in a couple of games, then it stopped for a long time (more than a year ...
