As these two issues seem not to be related to each other, I wonder, if the cause of this phenomenon could be, that you encounter it only, if you have (unknowingly) two or more threads of MWIF open. Sometimes, when you exit the game, its thread is not closed and if you open another game, problems as ...

No. Using 5.0.0.1 works just fine for me in multiple games, no issues with the end phase button.

Maybe not especially cool, but I guess most readers on this board have never finished a MWIF game? Probably <98% of all games started never get finished? For those interested, I want to share some screenshots.

A friend and me bought a copy each of MWIF about 10 years ago, after I monitored the ...

This argument I do understand well. I agree, it would be nice to have a computer opponent, which is as capable as an average human opponent, using the exact same rules and not needing to be boosted by some artificial bonuses. Unfortunately I am not aware of ANY strategy game of at least moderate ...

No, there is no AI implementation. There is an attempt to develope a kind of scripted computer opponent, but only for the introductory Barbarossa scenario and only for the Soviet side. There is some effort on this "AI implementation" since 3 years and if there is any progress, it is very slow and ...

To your 2nd question: There is no FTC for German units in Finland, as Finland is a Minor country and FTC applies only in Major Power home countries on the same side.

Why did you not insert your screenshot in a normal way in your post?

Yes, the problem with placement of certain MIL with special characters in name I had in mind. But I assume, they can be placed manually by editing, if they do not show up automatically? Or they show up normally, but there will be a message, they cannot be placed?

Worked like a charm, thanks Ronnie!

I did choose ANSI encoding instead of original TNF-8, as you suggested, while saving the file. I see, some German special characters are now missing in unit counter names and unit description. Will this not lead to problems in the future with these specific ...

Hello Ronnie,

I finally bit the bullet and started to learn to edit MWIF game files, using this thread and your excellent .docx file. So far I managed to move a unit on map in order to defeat the air rebasing bug and to bring the missing two German CBV units in 5.0.0.1 to the Reserve Pool in game ...

I remember him as a smart guy, who wrote a lot of game reviews and strategy tips in the late 80's and 90's. I think, for a time he was a lecturer at university teaching game design? I liked his input on "Empire Deluxe" computer game by White Wolf Productions and "A House Divided" by GDW/AH.

RIP

...when on average do the two US Economic gear ups tend to occur? Probably will occur in July/August 1941. Is this about right? Am i behind where the norm is?



I personally do not have a solid database of finished games of Global War in MWIF. But I have seen several statistics from WifCon's ...

Not really important, but just for the record: If I remember correctly, Steve once mentioned, a new compiler version used by him, was automatically renaming new versions of the code as "debug". He spent some time and effort with customer service of the company maintaining the compiler, but gave up ...

If I would start now a new game, I would probably start with 5.0.0.1

Germany declared war on Poland.
Poland aligns to USA.

Is against the rules. Should not be possible in MWIF.

3) In manual I read that PBEM mode of play is planned for future, and it is aimed to ease the process "by the creation of Standing Orders (SOs) by both players. An SO is more or less a previously written set of instructions to MWiF from the non phasing player, for what to do when the phasing ...

Also, moving forward I want to resurrect MWIF Magic to start including functionality for speeding up and improving game play.


That would be greatly appreciated!


I think in conjunction with naval assist, I'm going to add Guard Banner Armies (GBA) to MAGIC. That is, basically being able to ...

Thanks. I'm an enthusiastic player. But my skill level is well below the competitive player.

This might have been true eight years ago, but not any longer. We can see in your AAR over the years, how you became ever more proficient. You spent so much more time on the game than ...

Ah, forgot to mention, I note you choose a very interesting approach regarding determining victory. Did you tweak victory conditions during the game? Anyway, it seemed to work exceptionally well, allowing Germany to still come second, even if totally defeated, which is just historical. How did you ...

Turn 36. Jul/Aug 1945. End of Turn.
