Sometimes I try to load a saved game and it crashes, then I try a different one that loads, then the first one will load and run ok. But sometimes it doesn't ever load and I have ...

"whether generals or weapons types figure into resolution of instant combat"

From the manual: "Instantaneous combat uses the rules of quick combat" You can readily verify in the manual that Generals and weapons types affect quick combat.

Select the container and right click on it. That will tell you max brigades etc which identifies it as a Division or Corps.

<t> From the manual: "Instantaneous combat uses the rules of quick combat." Weapons matter in quick combat if they have different QC ratings, e.g. musket has QC rating of 1 while mini-rifle has QC of 2 (as represented in the game).

The manual shows pictures of the icons but doesn't say what they mean.

<t> I've been trying different things the last two days. First - disabling anti-virus and other background programs and turning off the wireless adapter did not improve the problem. But turning off all Vista visual effects (System/Advanced System Settings) causes the problem to go away about 90% of ...

<t> Just installed Time of Fury plus patch. Performance is poor - almost unplayable. Scrolling is extremely slow or doesn't work at all. When I take the cursor to the edge of the screen nothing happens then all of a sudden the view jumps halfway across the large game map. Drag is slow and jumps ...

<t> I don't see any general discussion thread for this game and this looks like the only thread that has much activity at all, so: I haven't bought the game yet but from what I've read it sounds pretty good. The steep learning curve seems to be the biggest drawback, but with a decent AI a new player ...
