If you haven't taken the leap, SC:WaW is in the current "Unleash Destruction Bundle" at Humble Bundle. It also includes Field of Glory II and some fantasy and scifi wargames.

Thanks Hubert, but there is nothing there from yesterday's crash. The three files are from last February (Version 1.09). I'll check in the future if I get a CTD.

I can't comment on your live play issues as I only play single player, though your comments ...

<t> I get a CTD once in a great while, usually during or immediately after combat resolution. It is not very common, just enough to be annoying. Maybe once every 20 hours or so, and I can always load the last autosave.<br/>
<br/>
Are others seeing this behavior?<br/>
<br/>
Is there a log/crash ...

<t> Of course in some of those cases the terrain was so chewed up from 1,000 lb bombs that the Allies couldn't advance, so perhaps strategic bombing of units should add entrenchment!!! [:D]<br/>
<br/>
But seriously, strategic bombers in SC represent strategic bomber wings for strategic bombing ...

Nice guide. It clarified the actual impact of HQs and supply on combat readiness for me.

And there is a sale on Steam if you want to fill out your Strategic Command collection.

Hi Wobbleguts!<br/>

Hong Kong are neutral and not mobilized yet. Brunei are also neutral. So you can't enter their teritory until they have mobilized. Most often not before Japan ...

<t> I'm having the same issue. 3 or 4 CTDs over the last month that seem to be immediately after a player-turn combat resolution. It happened again last night. Unfortunately, I looked in the error folder and that CTD is not recorded. The last updates in ERROR were the "common draw unit layer" bug ...

I assumed that "within 12 hexes" is inclusive of 12. I read your sketch as within 11 hexes, which would be an improvement. 10 hexes makes sense to me as it does not include the French ports at Corsica and Algeria.

<t> A slight tangent on this subject, but the trigger range of 12 hexes for regular naval units feels a bit too far and risks inadvertent triggering by inexpert Allied players. In addition to Malta and Tunis (unavoidable), 12 hexes incorporates Corsica, Algiers and French and Egyptian coastal waters ...

They probably weren't in range of my fleet. So yes, it was probably their only target. But it would be better if the AI would hold for more important targets. The high attack setting against Carriers and Transports make total sense, and should not be wasted.

<t> I had a British sub raiding the convoy line west of the Philippines that was spotted by a Japanese destroyer. Following that, three Kamikazes attacked from the Philippines getting only one hit. At the same time I had an invasion fleet one turn away to the east.<br/>

It seems to me that ...

I've been seeing that too - since 1.09?

It seems the script that should trigger Italy early is triggering DEI and it doesn't matter if Italy has declared war or not. I just had it happen. So if Allied units come within so many hexes of Italian ports, it triggers DEI to declare war ...

steamdb.info/graph/ shows the following All-Time Peak / Current simultaneous players:

WaW 263 / 182
WiE 115 / 76
WW1 145 / 63

So you could say WaW is 2-3 times more popular than WW1 on Steam.

<t> Where is the end date of each scenario displayed to the player? It should be in the scenario description and, preferably, on the Victory Conditions popup.<br/>

For the main campaign it is apparently buried on Page 54 of the strategy guide, or in the editor. For Rostov, for example, is it ...

It seems to me that this (late game modelling) is a scenario design issue, not necessarily a game engine issue. So solutions should stick to scenario design. Things like changing build limits and adjusting maximum Production and Industrial ...
