Thanks for hijacking a Dev Diary that someone worked hard at with off-point garbage.

Re: Question re Opponent Replay

Thanks for that clarification. I did infer that from Alessandro's answer. This is an important feature for those of us that prefer to play humans. The engine looks to be very promising. I wish the development team the very best and will be following closely.

Redownloaded and it worked fine with the Shock Troops and Stormtroopers showing. Thanks for your help. Eric

Re: Icarus Mod, Version 6 in Preliminary Release

Thanks for the response. Neither the stormtrooper build nor the shock troop research appeared. FWIW, the load screen does have your mod in the bottom left.

I'll reload and let you know. Just to be sure, I'm using the dropbox link from your post of Fri Sep 19, 2025 4:35 pm.

Re: Question re Opponent Replay

I'm so pleased to hear that! PBEM just doesn't play well (IMHO) without a replay. My only real criticism about this engine has been that it didn't do that. I'll be all over this title. Thanks for the answer.

Re: Question re Opponent Replay

I know it's not a Grigsby title, but it uses the same engine. I'm trying to find out if you will get a replay of your opponent's turn (unlike in Grigsby titles) when you open his file. Does anyone know the answer?

Re: Question re Opponent Replay

My specific question is: When you open your opponent's turn in PBEM in War in Spain, will you get a replay of his turn? You do not in Grigsby's titles.

Re: Question re Opponent Replay

Apologies. I missed this response and realize that I wasn't very clear. I mean that when playing WitE2 in PBEM mode, the opponent’s turn is not replayed like it is when you play the AI. That ultimately soured me on the game and I was wondering if this new game might change that state of affairs.

Re: Icarus Mod, Version 6 in Preliminary Release

Hi. This is my first time running an SC Mod. I installed the mod, ran it and got this error/warning message.

"Warning"
"Could not find _1914 Icarus.v6.9\campaign.ini"
"Saved game will be loaded without customization"

When I press OK, everything seems to run fine though. Is this normal/OK?

Looks really interesting. Key question for me. Will it have replay of opponents turn?

Re: Please Forgive a Grognard Trying to Understand WitE2

Thanks for taking the time to post that! It's very helpful. Although, it's a little worrisome that it took "years" to piece all that together. :)

Please Forgive a Grognard Trying to Understand WitE2

Hi all.

At the risk of running into a buzzsaw.....

I’ve seen a number of posts from people asking about estimating combat odds pre-battle, and I understand that the answer is basically “you can’t”. I can accept that (sort of…see below) and the FoW aspect of that, although it’s sometimes difficult ...

Oh. Perhaps you mean Order of Battle? Maybe a bit too beer and pretzels for me. Or has it fleshed out since I first tried it?

Re: Thinking of Taking TOAW4 On Again

That's very helpful, thanks. I can't argue with you about John Tiller's games. I was just looking for something fresh (to me). What do you mean by "OOB for "Matrix's MP" system"? I didn't know Warplan had MP actually. Silly me. I prefer operational games, but that may be worth a look.

Thinking of Taking TOAW4 On Again

I was looking this game over today and was thinking of taking it up again after many years. How does it hold up as a multiplayer experience these days? Is it easy/difficult to find opponents? Is the Discord still a thing? Is there a better hex-based historical multiplayer experience, other than ...
