Thanks for that, Capn! They are an improvement.

Oh yeah, these stand out way better, especially over craters. Thank you, Capn.

This was recommended to me elsewhere long ago, but the book is what first came to mind when I saw the FCCW scenario of the same title. But now I have the pdf! Thank you!

The crater and crosses art files (simple .pngs) are in Modules\Common\Map Markers. You can clone the ones you want to change into the Modules\Common\Map Markers\Custom folder, and tweak the art file to improve contrast for you.
The game will prefer custom art from the Custom folder over the ...

Craters and Red Crosses are difficult to distinguish. It would help if the colors could be adjusted on either of these map icons. Thanks for "listening". Great game BTW.

Excellent. Thank you.

Good to know, because I was going to upgrade my Pentium 2 system. Will hold off until this is sorted out.

Also, JK. End troll...

Hello and Happy New Year, everyone.

Anybody else having system slow-downs after browsing up and down the scenario menu? Unless I pick a scenario quickly, I'm not even able to start a game because my system slows to a crawl. This keeps happening if I scroll all the way to the end of the scenario ...

If I may add my own list (thank you OP):
1. Ability to adjust font size (I'm using a 27" 1440 monitor)
2. Larger radio button to close info boxes.
3. Info boxes that will "lock to grid" so they line up neatly along edges.

Yes thank you, I'm lovin' this too!

The Soviet military machine is focused on tempo, massed firepower and manuever.

Yes, this was a very nice read, thank you. Care to share literary sources? I may need to add to my library.

That's great news, because...

Ive played the basic tutorial twice as the US. The second time I tried keeping my tanks on the west side of the river to get that stand off range, to no avail. Both times my ACR and tanks are wiped out. It makes me think that the M1's are a little too "brittle" but maybe thats American bias. Or I ...

Yes, $60 is a considerable sum, but there is simply nothing like this game on the market.

I appreciate the OP and agree with others. While $60, especially for a wargame, is nothing for me to cough at, I had faith that SS would at least be as good as RS. After seeing the very nice screenshots, I ...

As for Red Storm, the game will not be updated, but we will be doing Central Storm as the first DLC...

I just read the FAQ Roadmap and I am looking forward to the fruition of Arctic Storm and Mediterranean Storm. Please consider a US vs USSR in the desert DLC, a-la Harold Coyle's Sword Point. I ...

Congratulations on the release and thank you!

Cold War NATO vs WP hypothetical is absolutely my cup of tea and this series takes the "what-if" out if it and looks and sounds great to boot. Loving the much improved look and feel of SS so far. Gonna get some turns in now...bye.

We hope all of the extra time and delay on the game has paid off in how it plays and looks.

As for Red Storm, the game will not be updated, but we will be doing Central Storm as the first DLC...


Other wargames I continue to enjoy are running on ancient engines, so it's definitely refreshing to ...

Thanks, I purchased this morning! I was pressed for time but I let the AI play smartly against itself while my eyes and ears feasted on this beauty of a wargame. I appreciate the polished improvements over Red Storm. The info presented, I feel is less ambiguous and, my oh my, the graphics are great ...

Wow, yes I installed DO in its own directory and is loading up fine now. The DLCs went into the Armageddon directory and those scenarios are also available for play.

Thanks?

<t> Hello!<br/>
<br/>
Since it's a standalone, shall I install Da Orks in its own directory? Previously I installed it in my Armageddon directory(Armageddon\Da Orks)and may have been the reason my desktop shortcuts for it did not work.<br/>

On a side note, it's ok for me to install the ...
