Dunno if this is the right place to post. I wanted to say to my new opponent, "runinmonkey", that I'm late in starting our games because I was caught between returning from Paris and reopening my restaurant. I'm now locked and ready! Sorry for this delay.

Probably not that much.

It grew out of Steam and Iron and a desire for a campaign mode AFAIK.


Steam and Iron already had campaign mode(s). What hit me, in this book, is how it nails down the role of being a naval planner but not really the head honcho. For example, in RTW3 (and 1 & 2 too), a ...

I stumbled on this book while looking for something to read while on vacation. Basically it reads like an AAR for Rule the Waves 3, minus the battles.

As the title implies, the book focuses on naval strategy in the Mediterranean during the 1904-14 decade. The years are important ...

It seems that either my opponent (BYE) is not playing or I'm not getting my second game. I check every day, but there is still no result.

To be clear, I literally do not have the game(s) appearing in my MP screen (the first round finished with my two games completed - I got a grand total of THREE ...

Yes, both I and my opponent are playing and having fun (nice scenario for both parts, BTW).

I guess that the best thing to do is to check the MP status every day after you enlist so you can be sure that you start when the game is ready. No sweat.

I enlisted in the tournament, and I got an email telling me that the challenge vs. my first opponent was ready. However, when I loaded the games, I noticed that they were already ready to play three days before.

I don't know if you should only start when you get the "READY? GO!" email or if there ...

true that... but sometimes you just want to play on the train to work... and I was also thinking if we had two AIs play and recorded/confirmed bugs that might push things along... and let's say the AI could access the source code and suggest possible solutions??? now wouldn't that be cool!

IMHO, one of the best wargames you can buy is John Tiller's Campaign Series. It offers all the theaters of the war, with a platoon/250 meters scale, and turns of six minutes.

The bang for the buck is astounding, as you can easily find ...

"Stop adding new features completely, only bug fixes, perhaps some tweak."

This is a very unreasonable request, in my opinion. Complex software is never perfect. Waiting until ALL bugs are fixed will bring ALL development to a halt.


Fixing bugs is part of the development, so, no, fixing bugs ...

My pick would be Flashpoint Campaigns: Cold War. Lots of solo scenarios and campaigns, plus a cool PBEM mode. It is currently one of my favorite games.

OK, I have launched the game on a Win11 partition on my MacBook Pro using Parallels. Surprisingly, it runs. You have to tone down the graphics quality, of course, and be warned that my Mac is a beast (my wife uses it for CAD).

Specs:

Apple M4 Max
RAM: 128GB
macOS: 26.3.1 (a)

I have a Win11 install on my MacBook Pro using Parallels. Most games work; some don't. Sea Power, which is graphic-heavy, somehow works; Armored Brigade 2 doesn't. I know that DX12 is not supported, but, re: the rest, it is a toss of the dice.

When the game is released, I'll test it on this config ...

As of this post, no.

The depth and realism described for Modern Naval Warfare already make it stand out compared to many strategy sims releasing lately. I actually like the decision to go with Early Access if it helps polish the sonar systems, UI flow, and campaign balance with real player feedback instead of rushing ...

What the fuuuuuuu...???

I mean, they launch a Flashpoint Campaigns game with only NATO??

I do use Chrome but I never uninstalled Edge - for the very reasons you just mentioned. Sadly, OSes like Win11 are showing signs of "desperation": "Please, oh, please, use our tools or... or else." And II won't elaborate on the AI mania and how even my loo is about to "use AI." (*)

You may solve it in the link below.

That fixed it! Thanks!

I don't know why or when my PC lost the .webp support. One of the endless Win11 updates, I guess...

I just reinstalled the game on Steam after a few months to check the new Tides of War DLC. As usual, I downloaded the added images and descriptions from WarfareSims website. However, if I add the new image packs for DB3000 and CWDB the game crashes before entering a scenario (if I add only the ...

Cyberpunk 2077 plus the Phantom Liberty expansion. IMHO, it is a game greater of the sum of its parts. The combat system is interesting, the vehicle system is meh, you can have unbelievable tech but not a flashlight, and there are a lot of overlapping systems (like if different parts of the game ...

When is the patch going to exit beta? I would like to publish the improved version of my "Christiane" scenario - but tested under a stable patch.
