Thanks for the response Wiedrock. Is there a specific time during the turn that you can see this info? I just tried two turns on my GC campaign and everytime I pull up the battles filter after the soviet turn it just shows 0's across the board. I know there's been counterattacks but no records ...

Hey all, qq below that's driving me crazy:

playing a GC on the axis side. I see all of my turn battles and combat reports, but during the AI soviet turn, I don't see anything. the turn ends and I have no idea how my units that were engaged performed, what equipment was lost, where it happened, etc ...

I absolutely adore China in WITP:AE.

The amount of little tweaks you can do there to prop up your defenses is simply STAGGERING. In comparison to China, Australia and India are boring owing to their low unit density and big supply surpluses.


Well now I feel like i'm missing out on a whole ...

On another note, if there are any beginners out there who want the save file with the entirety of the AE set up instructions implemented I can upload and post a link if you happen across this comment, just shoot me a PM (Although I think working thru some of the excel file helped me learn quite ...

BB, appreciate it. Getting my butt kicked creates problems, and I do enjoy problem solving!

I just started playing in earnest about a month ago. It is one of, if not the best, historical war games I've ever had the pleasure of playing. That being said, all I can offer you is my opinion and a caveat - your personal opinions are valid and I hope you don't take the following as me trying to ...

Brad, Sar, BB,

Sorry for the delay. Thank you for the information as always! Immensely helpful.

Also Sar, your newbie AAR is fantastic, I'm following along with it while I work my first couple turns of the grand campaign.

I made it to mid November in the Guadal campaign before things got slow ...

Yes as the scenario has gone on it's gotten clearer. Thank you!

Might have another really simple line of questions that I'm having trouble with that I didn't see in the manual (or at least I'm not searching the right terms or the right manual version). I understand hexside control, I think. What I ...

That makes sense. Initially after a couple turns on the Guadalcanal scenario I thought I may have an issue with exp - didn't see any colors at all, but gave it a few more days and I have pilots with green and orange so all good there! I did notice the combat display has a line from base to target ...

Also that picture couldn't be more appropriate. I swear I've been relegated to the beard guy responsible for transpo to and from the lady with the milk in his eyes. Lucky SOB

Thank you gentlemen! It's been a heck of a week. While the focus was obviously elsewhere, I did have plenty of late nights to do some reading. As I type is my first opportunity to do a turn or two with the bits of info I picked up.

I do have a minor question I was curious about. Is there any way ...

All of the resources have been fantastic. Currently celebrating the birth of my son yesterday afternoon, so while playing may be limited until we're back home, I am doing plenty of reading (in between diaper changes of course). Really looking forward to digging into the strategy AAR and rereading ...

I played the Coral Sea scenario friday night & a bit yesterday. Those turns helped start to develop some muscle memory as far as what my turn tasks look like. Started in on the guadalcanal scenario a bit last night as well. That went.. not nearly as smooth. Need to dig into land based combat more ...

I'm going to be reading both before i bite this off in a few minutes!

On a completely unrelated note, if you don't mind, what's the typical turn by turn look like for ya'll? I'd estimate I've spent about 11 sessions (conservatively about 20 hours total) just setting up this first turn. Is there ...

Perfect, thank you both for the info! I ended up backing up all of the current campaign saves last night. Made it thru the Luzon base, aircraft, and TF set up. Those sub patrols took a minute. I'm going to kick off the scenario tonight and get an idea of how much more I have to learn!

If you haven't done so, play the Coral Sea scenario from both sides and then the Guadalcanal scenario from both sides. Play as often as you need to so you can learn from those scenarios without being overwhelmed as you would be in a campaign game.


I started a Coral Sea scenario from the allied ...

I'm glad you mentioned AARs. I've read a few on the forum and even pulled a couple real AARs from units I ran across during the setup. Think that's why I'm so engrossed with this game - I enjoy the big historical engagements but I moreso enjoy what happened before and after to get to that point. The ...

I hope this post is allowed. I'm not sure why I just found WITP:AE, but I'm incredibly glad that I did. I've spent the last two weeks searching the fantastic wealth of knowledge on this forum and I estimate I'm currently about 75% complete with my DEC 8 set up following the excel based guide. I just ...
