Are the fighters in range of the targets you're attacking? If I remember right, you don't have fighter cover when you attack targets in the red zones (not red target hexes).

Are the British units exhausted? Maybe they're below the flying threshold and too many of their planes were destroyed or damaged? Only possible reasons off the top of my head.

Carl; I understand the purpose. I was talking more about their implementation as a mechanic.

It's to encourage the Allies to be aggressive early, as they get more points early than they do later in the game (for each city point or damage point). As the game goes on, more is expected out of the Allied player, thus they have to ...

I may be wrong, but I think splitting units has the following effects:<br/>
<br/>
1. Reduces the basic attack strength (i.e. More men equates to a more powerful attack, even if the initial strength is reduced due to frontage restrictions ...

I thought as much; thanks for clarifying though!

<t> While I'll agree that I'd love to see animated models...at a certain scale, counters really is the only way to go in order to accurately and succinctly show a wide range of information.<br/>

I mean, to use your example, how do you make a 3D model really look distinct at a glance without ...

<t> One thing I'm somewhat unclear on while playing the game.<br/>
<br/>
Do combat elements have a 'facing' in this game? If so, how is it determined and illustrated in the game? Is there a way to rotate a unit to face a specific direction, or is it based simply upon which side of a hex a unit ...

<t> CBelva - thanks for the update. Apparently after doing a bit more poking around...it was in fact my anti-virus blocking it in a very odd way without any warnings to me. I was able to add it to my permitted list of programs and haven't had any issues now. If it helps in you guys fixing this issue ...

<t> And in yet another curious situation, I've tried copying the working install directory from my laptop to my desktop here, to no avail. Same issue... Not really sure what the problem is, but I'm definitely starting to think there's something up with the computer itself and how it's handling this ...

<t> I'd say there's a lot of interest, John, but that a lot of visitors (myself included) are kind of waiting for something a little meatier than just some preliminary source-sharing before chiming in. You know, they wanna make sure this project gets off the ground as more than an idea before ...

<t> Interestingly, I THINK I found the issue. There was some sort of Anti-Virus incompatability. I'm trying to sort that out now. Curiously, I never got a prompt for FPCRS, like I usually do when the AV picks something up, when I was trying to play earlier so this slid under the radar.<br/>

<r> Bought the game earlier today. I installed it just fine, and then ran it. The autolauncher comes up just fine, but when I click Play Game...nothing happens. I've looked through the permissions and all, and everything seems in order. However, when I run FPRS.exe, I get errors about it not having ...

<r> Much appreciated. Somehow I missed the Damage And Photo option in the list. As for 3 days being old...Guess I'll have to really step up my recon flights significantly, maybe even make a couple of conversions once I get my Frenchmen and RAF guys out of those Bostons and Baltimores...those things ...

<t> Quick question:<br/>
<br/>
The game currently has plenty of overlays, for things like airfields being used, targets hit, countless target filters, and things of that sort. However, one thing I noticed is missing, and quite egregiously if you ask me, is the lack of a Recon Filter that, like the ...

<t> Enefer: Does the AI ALWAYS plug gaps in its radar coverage with fighter patrols? Would it be feaisble then to basically checkerboard the RAF/German RADAR coverage, and then only use one or two of these holes regularly as transit routes...or will the AI "catch on" eventually and add more fighter ...

<t> Well I suppose one could say that, despite being catastrophic failures all, things could still be considered successes, in a very odd way:<br/>

I mean, if in Mission 1 the plane has a catstrophic failure when the engines ignite and send it careening into the carrier-plane due to ...
