Ferry destination

Hi! I'm playing Desert Storm after picking it up in the Steam summer sale.
For Ferry missions (which I have a lot of for the first DS mission), is it possible to change the destination? My F15s from Langley direct to Dahrain need a fuel stop but I can't figure out how to divert them without creating ...

RE: Losing strength after move?

<t> Thanks everyone, as always this is super helpful. What you'd all said about readiness, supply, and disengagement makes complete sense. I think that, as with many things in the game, I was taking a simplistic view of the "strength" number. As in, I was thinking that strength represented the ...

Losing strength after move?

<t> Hi, I'm playing Bob's Gettysburg and having a great time. One question, which I don't think is scenario specific:<br/>
<br/>
Playing as Union A lot of my units are bunched up and my line is grinding against the Confederate line. I have some higher strengthen Infantry units that I'm trying to ...

RE: Bombard/Air interface?

<t> One more question with respect to bombarding, I appreciate all of the discussion.<br/>
<br/>
When bombarding, should you always select "ignore losses"? I realize that the losses mechanic more applies to the direct ground attacks, and even to air (as you can lose planes), but for artillery with ...

RE: Designers and players: how to package and install scenarios

<t> Hi, new player here. I just wanted to note on this thread that I downloaded Bob's Gettysburg 63 and successfully can see it as playable in my menu, but I added it NOT to the "My Games" path, but to the C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\The Operational Art of War IV\Scenarios.<br ...

RE: Bombard/Air interface?

Thank you! Yes, that was exactly what I was wondering, which of those modes to use to ensure that those units weren't just sitting.

RE: Bombard/Air interface?

<t> Awesome, thank you both! I see that I can use the attack planner and only assign supports as a way of bombarding, thats pretty much what I was hoping for.<br/>
<br/>
As far as setting the indirect units to Support mode, is that in the Deploy sub menu? Would I set them to Local/tactical reserve ...

Bombard/Air interface?

<t> Hi, new player, enjoying the game. <br/>
<br/>
In scenarios with a lot of indirect fire, is there an easier way to set up bombardments than clicking each support unit, right clicking target, selecting the attack mode, etc. Example, in Bong Son 66 I have all kinds of attach helicopters and air ...

RE: Unit Tile size in Upper Right

Additional note, the graphics scaling feature doesn't seem to impact these tiles. Even with scaling up the tiles in the new unit panel (composition mode) are tiny.

New player here, I used the font adjustment from the forum and just found the scaling setting in Opart 4 Fonts.ini which does help. Aside from these technical ...

Unit Tile size in Upper Right

<t> I'm a beginner, enjoying the game, and have been using the forums to help adjust the graphics as best I can for my monitor resolution (2160x3480). One thing that I struggle with as a beginner is tracking my units when stacked. The group composition popup/hotkey is nice for this, but I'd love to ...

RE: Custom Opart3/4 Fonts.ini File (Ajusted Fonts sizes)

<t> New wargamer, just spent a week with Order of Battle WWII and now jumped into this after watching some youtube, I'm excited. I went back in time to 1995 and went through through the whole forum registration process to say Thanks! for the above font configuration. On a modern 4k monitor its 100 ...
