Strategic Movement Bug

Good morning or afternoon!

I have been playing a game as Nationalist Spain. Very fun, enjoying the game immensely. However, there has been an error that I can't seem to fix. Specifically, in the east of Spain I have a powerful column of troops (by AV) stuck in packing/unpacking mode, and changing ...

Re: Does the Max React button actually work?

The manual seems to indicate that the aggressiveness of the TF commander might affect aggressiveness of the reaction range and retreat tendency, at least for patrols, though I couldn't find an on-point section that expressly addressed what happens with Max React set to 0, except that that's the ...

Re: Fighting off the raving Fascists, Monarchists, and Religious fanatics!

Thank you for your informative tutorial and AAR! It's quite clear that, once people sink their teeth in, managing these device shuffles will become the "meta" of War in Spain. And I had virtually no idea how to do it until I read about it here! :lol:

A few quick questions on strategy if you have ...

First Impressions

I would like to begin by thanking all the people who worked on this game! As an English-speaking amateur, my knowledge of the Spanish Civil War is limited to Beevor and Thomas predominantly, but this is a conflict I have always found interesting. I also appreciate the game engine and its efforts to ...

Game Will Not Resume Or Load

I have been playing WON through Steam and in addition to the usual crashes, I have now reached a point where the game will not allow me to Resume or Load. Clicking either options launches a dialogue box saying there has been a critical error. I'm running the game in Admin ...

RE: Air Operational Losses

<t> I apologize if I'm asking an obvious question, but what is the fatigue and the morale of the squads that are suffering heavy losses? I notice significant overall losses on turns I'm not paying enough attention to the two.<br/>

Otherwise, what are the specifics of your situation? For ...

RE: Love this game...

<t> I'm a big fan of the game, too. The best I've managed to do so far is a Major (maybe Decisive?) Victory as the Allies in Breakout and Pursuit. It's the initial breakout that's crucial there. It's a very interesting game in that in the GC, the big problem is the same as WITP:AE- getting ...

RE: Newbie looking for Allies PBEM opponent 43-45 GC

Forgive me my silliness, I re-read your thread name. I am a newbie, and I am willing to try to play the Allies against you. My only concern is that I am a touch busy so I am unsure how many turns a week I could feasibly do.

I'm a longtime (and terrible) player, of about a year now. I only play the AI because I'm not very good, but I was wondering t this stage of the game both how many people play with the Front Box on, and whether they thought that it made life for them easier or not.<br ...

RE: WHY did you start war gaming

<t> The reason I took the plunge was because my father was a tremendous fan of the Ken Burns' Civil War documentary- but contrary to my father the side I found the most fascinating was the Confederacy! Ever since I've been a big fan of RE Lee, faults and all. I found out my little brother was ...

I'm an owner of the GG War in the East game, though I'm not terribly good at it. I was wondering if there were any players here who owned this and had tried the GG games and had opinions as to how much they enjoy DC: Barbarossa, and how they think it compares.<br ...
