No email program associated...

I grabbed a .gam file from one of the AARs on this site thinking it would be fun to take a look at and maybe poke some counters around. When I go to load it I get "No email program associated. Please install an email program…". I'm not sure what that's talking about(installing an old version of ...

Re: Easier to see TF map Icons............

Oh. My. God. Thank you *so* much! My old eyes absolutely could not see my little green subs on a dark blue background, now I can. The computer AI better watch out now...

SGS combat

Just picked up Afrika Corps (which is great fun) and trying to figure out combat. How is the type of unit attacked factored in? It looks like a unit with light anti-tank guns (for example) has the same chance of damaging a formation with Italian L6/40s as one with Pz IVs (or Tigers or Grants or ...

Re: WitPTracker AE Release 1.11 Available!

Downloaded a different Java file (jre1.8) and tweaked the bat file to read
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre-1.8\bin\java.exe" -Xms512m -Xmx640m -jar "WitPTracker.jar"

And it works. Hopefully this will help someone else in the future.

Re: WitPTracker AE Release 1.11 Available!

Hi All...

I am trying to install Tracker and have gone through the troubleshooting steps on the installation website. I downloaded/installed the (hopefully) correct versions of C++ library and Java (vcredist_x86 and jre-6u45-windows-i586). Still getting the error

Re: Halsey's Downloads


Now that Google has disabled Halsey 's site, the only place you can find his download files (in particular the beautiful plane tops and sides created by Cathartes that are "foldered" and thus change appearance over time) are in the internet "Wayback Machine". Kudos to Nikel for finding them and ...

Removed save games, GameSettings, GameStartSettings
Restarted computer
Changed to suggested settings and launch from AMD panel:

RE: Mk48 torpedo vs tanker

Thank you for the link! That's really interesting. I knew tankers were big, just not *that* big.

RE: Calsualty points

<t> Keep the system as is. If the player knows how the rule works it gives them some tough choices - do you min-max to fire most efficiently (e.g hit the 11 column, don't "waste" points by having 18 in the stack) or mix in lower quality squads to suck up damage and keep the elite ones at full ...

Aircraft ranges?

Gah, I'm embarrassed to have to ask this... How do I turn on the aircraft range circles? I'm playing with different loadouts and want to see the differences in coverage. I have looked through the tome that goes along with this game but haven't had any luck.
Thanks,

Tycho
