I just bought this, but I guess I'll wait a bit to see if this patch comes out before diving in...

Oh my goodness, I just popped in here on a whim and what a surprise to learn that this fascinating game is STILL being worked on! COTD is one of the most interesting and innovative wargames I have ever played, and I look forward to this new update with great eagerness!

Interesting. I own Barbarossa ...

That tells me the guy is a pretty poor reviewer tbh.

That tells me you haven't read his reviews tbh.

Rasputitsa expounded my view exactly, right down to the example game I would have used.

Maybe the larger scenarios would be easier to play if you could order entire formations to move together. Say clicking just on the Bde HQ and moving it, and the subunits all move in ...

Supply is allocated per HQ and there's an option to include subordinate HQs. So you could set the supply level for the entire army in one go.

That's good to know. Still hoping to pick this one up at some point.

<t> I have not (yet) bought for the following reasons, in ascending order of importance:<br/>
<br/>
* price (it is what it is and I understand why these kinds of games cost so much, but it's a factor for me personally at this time)<br/>
* smallish number of scenarios<br/>
* apparent busywork ...

It has been opined that an Eastern Front 1941-45 game would make way more money than Desert War.

Has the game not been performing well? I've been watching it and this forum with great interest, but I just don ...

- zooming in and out with mouse-wheel

That would be the best.

That is an excellent supposition. I am playing on "reports only," as you no doubt gleaned from my other post in the forum. I only received one actual "textual" report after Turn 1, when I expected many. I guess I should read the manual again, as I clearly did not absorb it all the first time.

Ok, cool. I didn't actually receive any reports after the turn...I hope I set it up properly. The game launch screen makes it seem like the fog options, etc. are changeable even on loading a save game. Is that correct?

I am still not allowed to post links, but they also have "A Detailed Account of the Battle of Austerlitz" available for free. It is a considerably longer read, though.

<r> Is this a bug? On the first turn, all of my corps show zero strength for everything. After the first turn of movement, they have numbers.<br/>

<t> So, I have definitely selected "reports only" in my game options, but I can still see all my counters moving around when I click "End orders," and I can see them after they have stopped, and I can see the enemy as well. Is this working as intended? How is this different from the other fog levels ...

Yeah, the resolutions printed on the buttons don't seem to correspond to how many pixels they actually end up taking up. Weird.

Neat, thank you!

If we're voting, I would love to see this system apllied to the American Civil War.

<t> Hello! Yes, sorry, I believe my earlier post which the forums ate mentioned that I have updated to the latest version. My resolution selection screen looks just the same as the one chemkid posted (beautiful map mod, by the way).<br/>
<br/>
As far as the monitor/screen not being able to display ...

<t> I have a 3200 by 1800 (laptop) monitor, and the game will only allow me to select a subset of its available resolutions. Most of them simply aren't clickable from the launch menu. The largest one that is is 1440 by 900, which seems to actually take up almost my whole screen excepting a ribbon on ...
