Hi - assuming the Allies have supported the Yugoslavian coup, on which date would Yugoslavia normally activate for the Allies? Is the date variable at all? Thanks.

Oops, thanks, I've now corrected the spelling in my post.

Also noticed that the unit in question doesn't have the range to get to North Africa, unless you can upgrade its Long Range attribute, as you need at least a 7 hex range to paradrop from Malta to Libya, but am sure that you've realised this by now!

The PBEM connection seems to be borked at the moment, wish they could figure out a way of doing updates to the game without this happening almost every time!

It's very frustrating, this seems to happen after almost every update!

I use SIPRES counters and an Historical flag mod, works for me! BTW I don't like to use the "Nation Colors" map overlay, as I find it makes it difficult to see what weather hexes actually have!

Same here, tried yesterday, but still can't connect today.

I believe engineers can build them, right?

Can they be captured, or do they "evaporate" when an enemy ground unit overruns them, like regular temporary forts do?

BTW I think are only an option for campaign mods, they're not in the standard campaigns in WiE

PBEM++ server connection error still.

Yeah, I can't connect to the PBEM servers either.

Try the US server, I got the error for the EU server, but not the US one

Okay, will do, though it sounds like this won't affect by current PBEM game. I'll try it out with a new game versus the AI.

It now works the same as for the Pacific game, whereby most naval units now exert a significantly stronger zoom of control than before, meaning you cannot zoom in and out attacking enemy ships, and operating in groups provides more defensive potential.

It's a change strongly inspired by Hairog's ...

"Increased the effect of Naval Zones of Control"

Bill - what is the actual affect of this, how does Naval ZoC work now (for new games)?

Engine changes generally take effect immediately, but campaign changes only take effect in new games.



Okay, good to know!



It is not Baku, but Bacãu in Romania. I suspect the lettering has been corrupted when it was posted on the forum.


Ah, I see - a big change! I guess it makes sense ...

Already verified integrity of game files.

Same, the game is unplayable on Steam currently

Ugh, in a PBEM game I'm halfway through my current turn (save) - but the game has auto-updated on Steam to 1.30, is it possible to somehow revert to 1.29 so that I can finish my current turn on that version at least? Some of the changes will have an impact on what I was doing, which could be ...

Note you can move the HQ itself then modify attachments.

Be alert to the HQ command range when moving units.
Thus units that move long ranges (air rebase, operate and transport) should be unattached first, unless their HQ is also moving to the same destination.


I think operating a unit ...

BTW note also that both German and Italian HQs can attach German minor country units, such as Romanian and Hungarian, though doesn't work the other way around.

Because of the likely presence of Allied AA guns in France in games versus humans, I usually buy one or more Rocket Artillery as the Axis and sometimes also double-chit Artillery tech. Or at least I do for the War in Europe game, I don't play World at War much.
