RE: Strange happenings

Thanks for your reply, Alvaro. I figured out how to move units. I wasn't using the right mouse button to move a unit.

RE: Strange happenings

<t> I've been a Matrix forums member for years. Today, I tried to post a new topic to this forum and the New Topic button doesn't work. All I can do is reply to an existing topic. How can I start a new topic? I can't move any units in any scenario or campaign. I can tell them to move, but they never ...

Is there any way to tweak play balance?

<t> I often like to learn game mechanics - especially ones new to me, like WEGO - by enhancing my strength and abilities, or handicapping the AI's strength and abilities. Is there any way to do that in this game? Then, as I improve my skills, I can take the "training wheels" off and play for real ...

RE: Suggestions for Starter Scenario?

<t> Thank you very much for your explanation, Eric. I'm an old f*rt and was just looking for a way to "lower the learning curve" (aka "cheat"). I've been playing wargames since 1965 (and did some playtesting for Avalon Hill when I lived in Baltimore), and my multitasking skills aren't quite a sharp ...

RE: Suggestions for Starter Scenario?

<t> Ok, Gil, then how about giving us an options screen that would let a player turn off (uncheck a box?) various game factors like supply, morale, fatigue and FOW - to remove them temporarily from the game's calculations. That would offer a player the ability to start with a simplified system, then ...

RE: Computer vs computer scenario

Too bad. AI vs AI might have given you a good way to showcase your AI and game engine at the various experience levels, and also educate us about American Civil War strategy, tactics, combat and logistics.

Is it possible to set up a computer vs computer scenario, start it, and then watch how the game mechanics operate?

So, if I understand you correctly, Gil, there is no shallow end of the BaB pool - you have to jump in the deep end and sink or swim.

RE: Wish List thread

I would like to have a non-historical beginner tutorial series of lessons that begins with the basic mechanics of movement and combat, and introduces more complex game mechanics like command, fatigue, morale and supply gradually over several scenarios.

RE: Which "Drawing of the Sword" battle is of most interest to you?

<t> Wilson's Creek, mainly because I live in Oklahoma and am interested in the ACW on the western front. I'd like to see more of the smaller battles like Pea Ridge in Arkansas and Honey Springs in Oklahoma. At this scale, I think that the really large battles like Gettysburg might be just too much ...

Thanks, panman. I have watched a bit of it, and will watch more. What I would like is a readable layout of the basic gameplay, like a flowchart.

Basic turn "do this first, do this next"

<t> What is the basic sequence of activities in BAB for a human player? I'd like to help my learning curve by understanding the order of things I should be considering/doing in a typical turn. The user manual is very well-written and helpful with detailed information, but seems to lack a "do this ...
