Holy moley! That thing is awesome! Thanks!

Well, when you search your computer for ".eqp", how many files show up and where are they located?

Hmmm. Is the original .eqp file still in your computer anywhere?

I tried that. I'll try it again after deleting the file first. Thank you very much. Wait! I have this now in both the game and the my documents file. Do I need that in my documents/my games?


Just to be be clear:

There are two Graphics Override files on your computer. One is on your O: drive ...

So at at less than 2.5k/hex, the option is either shoulder fired 60mm mortars or 60 mm mortars with a 5K range, pick my poison.
Small price to pay for such an awesome game. Will likely leave the range as it is so when the inevitable update comes, the situation is ideal.

Perfect! Thanks!

Alright, so I get ON HAND is what you have stockpiled.
BEGIN is when you start getting it.
END is when you stop getting it.

My question is about RATE . It is the rate at which you get equipment that isn't in your stockpile. Rate of what, exactly? You can adjust the number from 0-99999, so it's ...

It says that link can't be downloaded securely.


That explains it. I'm on Brave, and it would open a new ...

I have British, mostly bi planes in Pearl Harbor, in the 1941 Pacific scenario. Did I install the equipment file wrong? Or is it supposed to be like that?


Ok, scrolling back a bit, I THINK I see the problem.

There are two versions of the .eqp database. One of them is compatible with old ...

Download the .eqp file. Paste it into your graphics override file, located at (on my computer):

Documents>My Games>The Operational Art of War>Graphics Override

Well, SURE , that would work if you want to have a comprehensive and universally useful link to everything one might need.

MY target audience was more the guy who was browsing this forum on Sunday, May 24, 2026 at 1108 hours exactly , AND feverishly working on a French and Indian War scenario,
AND ...

Anyone who is considering making a French & Indian War scenario should take a look at this -- it looks like a goldmine, and an underused milieu for scenarios. There are OOB's, maps, and a lot of other good material.

Yeah, that's the next thing. I already gave it a secondary counter of artillery and it didn't work. Sounds like the game just doesn't acknowledge bombardment abilities less than 5k.

So I have a higher echelon HQ unit that has 6x60 mm Mortars assigned to it.
The mortars have a range of 850 m, and the map scale is 250 m/hex.
The unit MAY bombard, but only in the adjacent hex.

I'm not great at math, but it should be 3 or 4 hexes. Am I missing something simple?

Weird how they locked in on hard coding glider tank. I see why it has to have that ability, but it only applies to about a year's worth of a game that covers a couple centuries. Could easily be used as "any armored unit" in any scenario without air transport.

Likewise with the icon set:
We have ...

Is there a list of lines in the GameText file that are unable to be unmodified (like the airmobile units)?
I know certain units are. Currently trying to change the names of some of the flags so it displays a different name when displayed as choices in the force editor, but it doesn't seem to be ...

INTRODUCTORY NOTE: If you are going to mod graphics, you'll need a program that supports .png format and transparency. Microsoft paint won't cut it. Paint.net WILL, and it is free: https://www.getpaint.net/download.html

The Next War 1979 is a great example of using the color file to make the counters look exactly like the 1970's SPI colors (have done the same with CFNA and others), but when you look at them in edit mode you still have the standard icons in the edit Forces dialog, but while deploying or playing ...

If anyone stumbles across this thread, I didn't realise you have boats that can move through rivers, marshland and canals. They have about 300 movement points and they're really good for finding VCs in hard to reach places. Recommend.

I have this idea to make folders for each era of warfare:

Ancient
Napoleonic (1700-1850)
Civil War (1850-1900) . . .



Don't forget to include your WotR icon set.

I just saw in an old thread that you had a very similar notion as my folders! Probably a Medieval folder as well, as ...
