RE: Trying a Beta for first time

Finally fixed! The key was the 2 missing files. For some reason, I was only getting 3 but I changed the download procedure and then I got all 5. Thanks for your help.

RE: Trying a Beta for first time

<r> I deleted the entire game and reloaded. You can see in the picture the Beta files that overwrote the old files. When launched, I get the error message displayed. The error message says, "Options file corrupt or old version recreating with defaults."<br/>

RE: Trying a Beta for first time

Yes to both questions. I re-downloaded the latest mod and tried again with no luck. I think I may try to delete and re-install the game.

RE: Trying a Beta for first time

All I have is the official # with no Beta info displaying. I re-downloaded the beta and put it in the C:\Program Files(x86)\Matrix Games\WarPlan folder again but with no effect.

Trying a Beta for first time

<t> I downloaded the latest Beta. I extracted files and ended up with 3 folders, Warplan.exe, UnityPlayer.dll and UnityCrashHandler64.exe. I pasted those into my WarPlan folder at C:\Program Files(x86)\Matrix Games\WarPlan. It overwrote the existing files. I launched the game and still have ver 1.00 ...

RE: Losing fight with the editor

<t> OK, Obviously all the estimations and variables make for a more exciting game. You wouldn’t want to know the exact numbers because what commander ever did? But in this example the attacker did attack as a 6 combat strength, right? (10 minus 40%) Is that the one number the attacker can be sure of ...

RE: Losing fight with the editor

<r> And here is the combat result:<br/>
How does the 10 attack factor get to a 4-1 if it's attacking as a 6 (40% attacker penalty)? Again - not a criticism, I'm just trying to follow along. Thanks!<br/>

<r> I know nothing about coding and the editor but I'm trying to keep up with your conversation just to learn. I have a question about the formula used to calculate attack odds. Al, you said "There is always a 40% attack penalty." To understand this I loaded an attack scenario with a German infantry ...

RE: Pacific Theatre

<t> Definitely agree on Ian Toll. Six Frigates and the Trilogy are outstanding. Although not on the entire war in the Pacific, I definitely recommend James D. Hornfischer’s books. “The Last Stand of the Tincan Sailors” (Leyte Gulf), “The Fleet at Flood Tide” (44-45), and my favorite “Neptune’s ...

I believe that Convoy escort also affect Carriers if one builds the other type of Carrier.

I think you’re right - I missed that one.
