Wait until you try to reload a savegame....

Which opponent did you play, Yogol?

Many thx for your help and suggestions to you all!

Yes, I am quite sure: .exe not .exe.

I don`t know nothing about extensions, I just tried to add .exe to the line, because this was the suggestion. I don`t use Win Explorer. I`m dumb but not mad.

That`s exactly what I tried to, Win10 adds the "00" itself at the end.

The "00" at the end is added by Win10, I don`t know how to get rid of it. Just adding "exe." doesn`t work.

How do I add the file extension?

If I just rename the file and add "exe" the file is called SC ACW Setup realease exe00. That doesn`t work either.

How do I install the game after the download?

The file doesn`t do an installation routine like other downloads, instead I get the option to chose an "application" to open the file, which doesn`t help a bit.

Naah, these units are usefull only in human hands; they`re doing bad against inf. until lvl .4, and the AI never uses them against tanks. Compared to their use they`re also expensive.

I guess the reason you didn`t get an answer is: nobody ever tried to. It`s a grand strategy game with all pros and cons...

One easy way to fix this is make so an air unit can only fly and stage one time.

Best example how easy it is to misjudge game changes: we already had that in previuos games like SC AoC. It simply means to halve the times you can use your air force and every second turn leave it without supply far ...

You really think flying a Fighter with long range 3 into a border hex should create a 4-hex-circle of vision without the slightest risk and without the enemy having any chance to prevent that?

I really do think both sides should be able to do at least some spotting passively, otherwise the side ...

Spotting and Scouting are major parts of the Air Warfare. Change that, and you probably destroy the best part of the game; same applies to how the intercept mechanic works.

There are several opportunities for the defender to make best use of his defense assets; that`s jaut a matter of "know how ...

It should be difficult for the axis player to win, full stop.

if at all...

But one small question: what`s the point in playing a game where one side is doomed to repeat the failures of history?
You can easily find out how much fun that is by following historically "accurate" games like AGEOD`s ...

<t> We`re talking against the AI on the higher difficulty lvls, folks! <br/>
<br/>
At first: take Vichy before the invasion, this will provide enough Hinterland to operate.<br/>
Then: If you`re able to keep the Russian Air Force at bay (they should lose every bomber immediately after deploying ...

10% of the unit`s cost at lvl.5 Logistics.

There are some variations depending on the starting point of the scenario; in 39 the Kriegsmarine will play a part, the AI sadly will pull off a landing even without maritime and air superiority.

Yeah, losing units is mostly a consequence of continuous attacks on the same target, but amphibs can only attack coastal placed units. Then the enemy Air Force will be defeated, and then the invasion forces.

Apart from the Netherlands there`s not much of value in France.

<t> Against the AI you can pretty much do what you want to diplomatically, inviting Franco will usually succeed long before the US joins; Turkey isn`t worth diploing, but conquering. You can get the Swedes usually unopposed by the Allies, they bring an army group together with an HQ and a fighter ...

<t> If you limit yourself to historical accuracy, why do you expect other than historical outcomes? This game never was a historical simulation, but fair balanced PbEMs. <br/>
<br/>
Improving minor nations is of course a viable way to strengthen the Ostfront, and why shouldn`t Germany deliver more ...

<r> The intercept range of fighters should be at least half the range of a strat. bomber, now it`s 12 at lvl.5 LR vs. 28. <B><s>[b]</s>28!<e>[/b]</e></B><br/>
<br/>
I`d suggest to diminish the air defense of strat. bombers by half a point (exclusively against fighters); maybe from lvl. 4 onwards ...
