Re: Civil War II Nexusmods Page is live

Many thanks for this. Since Grand Tactician crashed and burned (I had it for quite a while before getting around to play it, only to discover its buggy nature; in particular the infamous "Fort Bug"), I am returning to AGEOD's Civil War II. I was pleasantly surprised to discover this mod that ...

RE: UNREADABLE FONT SIZE!

<t> Make sure you are patched up to version 8.5.6. I noticed some graphic improvements in the last couple of patches. That said, I would add that the minimum screen resolution for OOB these days is 1920x1080. Any lower than that and the fonts get fuzzy as well as small. From what I can gather, what ...

RE: Blitzkrieg - Moscow: Secondary objective just a red herring?

That's the thing with campaign play. It's not just about winning each scenario, is about winning it in such a way as to set you up for the next one.

RE: Scale /unit size?

<t> Actually, one of its strengths is the way OOB does not force any sense of scale. This flexibility allows the designer to go all the way from division level down to company. The trick is to impart what the scale actually is supposed to be by references in the scenario description, briefings ...

RE: File Download

Depending on which DLC you own, the installation version may not be sufficient. To be sure, install 7.1.4 (OoBWWII-MultiSetupRelease-v7.1.4.exe) and update the game to 8.3.0 (OoBWWII-MultiUpdateComp-v8.3.0.exe). That should encompass all DLC to date.
