Re: This is How I install WITP-AE

Thanks for the replies, the game is running fine. Alienware zips through the turn.

I create a unique "Scen2" WITP for those games. Not sure how I added an apostrophe, but once again as
long as the names match the shortcut will take me to the right place. This is for my new 28 Beta games.

Re: This is How I install WITP-AE

I have a workaround solution, totally in game.
In the toolbar "Preferences "Combat Report O/N"
It pops up on the tool bar and hotkeys work if you leave it "ON".

I thought that was only while the turn is running, and it is WAD.

Am I that stupid? Technology F's with ME, all the time. Can't wait for ...

Re: This is How I install WITP-AE

Hi ,
I'm sorry to hear you are having problems with the download of your game's update. Usually this issue is caused by the interference of a Internet security program (a firewall, an anti-virus, an anti-malware, etc.) with the game update feature. Please check if any of your Internet security ...

This ID and PW do not work. When I try and use a new one I get Email already used.

Edit: I guess I got through with a slitherine password. Sent email to tech support.

I just downloaded the "2026A" files from the dropbox: Scenario's 59 & 61. I got a "Scen unable to load" error.
The poster above was able to get into scen 61 so I presume it is just me.

I opened up Scen 2 after downloading and I absolutely love the map. But now the map differs from the latest beta ...

Over the decades, there is very little to loot anymore. There are artifacts that have been moved to the top deck and re-arranged constantly. Some 12mm and 40mm shells, cooking pots, 1930's telephone, fans, and yes Saki and Beer bottles.

It's the deepest one on my list above and the boat would not take recreational divers. Another group did it from shore.
They go down for a few minutes and slowly start coming up. A ...

These pictures show how it looks inside the ships. With no sunlight nothing grows, it just silts over with the sand. Shipwrecks are tremendous fish nurseries. Many places you can see 'small' groups of a hundred of these virtually clear small fish. They just hover and hide ...

It is difficult to confirm with certainty if the object is from a World War II Japanese landing craft, but it appears to be a heavily corroded metal component, possibly a gear housing or engine part, found in shallow water.
