I'm an old (in all senses of the word :) ) WitP original version player who has finally decided it's time to give AE a proper go. This spreadsheet IS AMAZING. Absolute gold for someone like me who's overwhelmed with the number of units to deal with. Even coming from the original game, which was not ...

Thanks for the responses, very helpful. May be too late to save this game, but the scenario's short enough to try again.

<t> Hopping onto this thread for a total newb question about rail repair. I'm playing through Road to Leningrad as the Axis against the AI. I made good progress initially, but now my units are bogging down due to poor supply. Looking at rail damage, it's clear why: may rail net is a disaster! Heavil...

<t> I recently installed the game and am playing through the campaign as the Allies against the AI as a learning exercise. Most things make sense, but I've got a couple questions. Sorry if these are answered in the manual, but a search didn't turn up anything obvious.<br/> <br/> 1. What is the strik...

Ah, the tiny blue anchor. Now that I see it, it makes sense. And no, I don't see it in the manual. Thanks!

Follow up dumb question...how do I tell which cities are ports? I actually did look in the manual and I don't see any map indicator that shows that a city is a port.

Thanks.

Dumb question time...how do I unload units that are being transported by sea? I've loaded up an Italian unit and moved it across the Med. But the "unload" option on the transport is grayed out. What's up?

Thanks.

<t> I'm having trouble when I alt-tab out of the game. Hitting alt-tab shifts focus, but no mouse clicks are honored. When I alt-tab back to the game I cannot interact with it any longer. The only thing I can do when this happens is to use ctl-alt-del to bring up the task manager and kill the game p...

<t> I find myself in something of the same situation as Roghain. I played through a few turns of the campaign as the Allies and found it getting pretty tedious. There are some things I love about AE: patrol zones, TF waypoints, and search arcs are great and add strategic/tactical nuance to the game....

Thanks for the feedback...very useful. Will be poring over the manual looking for pilot training info as this is all new to me.

And apologies to Roghain for hijacking his thread.

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Roghain<br/> <br/> Still, I must be really slow.

<r> Just want to say that I'm very pleased to have found this thread. I've just taken the plunge into AE after years of playing the basic game.

Thanks for the input. I think I need to take the plunge

<t> I'm sure this is covered somewhere here but a search didn't turn up anything.

After a few turns of ignoring this the unit moved into Buna.
