I finally got it running. I manually deleted all remaining game files created by the steam version and then ran the GOG version it took a few seconds to re-syncronize and now runs fine. Apparently a Steam problem. Thanks for your help.

I tried something else since I actually have 2 copies of this game one on steam and one on GOG, not sure why I have it twice, must be a good game. I de-installed on Steam and installed on GOG but when I try to run it I get a different Error: Failed(video_mode_dialog:setup_mode-dialog): Permission ...

Hi Hubert thanks for the quick reply. I tried what you suggested but nothing changed I then completely shut down my Anti-Virus and still got the same Error.

I also tried running as administrator, it had no effect.

I De-Installed Strategic Command World at War from Steam about a year ago, now I re-installed it from my Steam account, it starts without any problems and I can play one turn, I can also save, but when I try to go to the next turn when it gets to the supply phase between turns I get an Error

FAILED ...

When the Axis control Iraq or Persia but have no land connection to those areas, how does the oil get to Germany? shouldn't there be a convoy route that the Allies could intercept?

<t> I thought the purpose of the game was to take history into our own hands and not necessarily have everything happen historically, In that case why doesn't Germany just declare war on the Soviet Union whether they're ready to attack or not, or Italy declare war on Greece when Germany has no ...

<t> Yes of course, I totally agree, but the Axis have very few options in this situation, no German units can move into Italy before the DOW, Allied units can do anything they want while Italy is neutral. The Axis should have the option of declaring war or not, if the Allies want to attack the ...

I still think the Axis player should be allowed to declare war with Italy when he chooses, why should be forced into war when all his ships are surrounded by enemy ships? In such a case the allied player should have to declare war if he wants to attack the Italian fleet.

<t> I have not played many PBEMs so I don't know if this is common but my last 2 Allied opponents moved their entire French fleet and a large part of the Royal Navy with several carriers into the Adriatic Sea in the first few turns of the game, while Italy was still neutral. In one game I left the ...

<t> Sorry about that it`s only a star on American units, on Japanese units it`s a red dot, I believe it`s at the lower left side of the unit icon, it appears to be a little brighter when the Amphibious unit has not used it`s attack yet, but I could be mistaken.<br/>
<br/>
The other problem I have ...

<t> Great, I have gotten used to looking at the brightness of the star to see if an Amphibious unit has attacked or not but it would be a lot easier if it showed strikes in the info box like other units. Do you know anything about the other problems I have with the Amphibious unit? Not being able to ...

<t> Unless I`m doing something wrong when you right click on properties it only shows how many strikes a unit has in general not how many it has left, that can only be seen in the info box on the lower-center-left part of the screen when the cursor is hovering over the unit, that shows strikes in ...

I find it difficult to tell if an Amphibious Transport can still attack or not, all other units have this information in their info-box, it shows how many strikes they have left, but the Amphibious Transports do not show strike info at all, the space where that would normally be is blank.

<t> Thanks for the info, I think it would be important to make the Axis keep a moderate amount of forces in the occupied territories in addition to limited supply levles, to give the remaining Allies a minimal fighting chance. As it is now, one or two turns after the Soviet surrender nearly all of ...

<t> Is there any specific reason that when the Soviet Union surrenders and the Axis decide to split the territory between them that the German part becomes part of the German home country, eliminating the need for the Germans to have any occupation forces, since there are no Soviet partisans? When ...

Yes it is, it`s at 9.2.5, I somehow missed it, but thanks a lot.

<t> I have a question on Spying and Intelligence research, I checked the manual but found no answer. Are the effects of Spying and Intelligence against the enemy alliance cumulative? For example if Germany, Italy and Japan all have level 1 Spying and Intelligence is the negative effect on the enemy ...

Sorry, my mistake, I just started a solo game to try it out and noticed for the first time that the fighters have a longer escort range than their strike range is, but thanks for the quick reply.

Can escort fighters escort bombers to targets that are out of the escort fighter's range? Normally I would not think so, but in the game it appears that they can.
