<t>I was reading with fascination the thread on native speakers posting to each other in their own languages. I think it is a great idea; anything that will foster harmony and a greater understanding and development of SPWAW is positive.<br/>
<br/>
I also noted some of the contributors who do not ...

I installed Combat Net version 1.2 from the SPWAW menu that ...

Look at the post I did on this subject it might fix your problem.<br/>

Thanks for the suggestion. I uninstalled CombatNet and GmClient and reinstalled letting the install program choose the paths. <br/>

After ...

<t>I have a problem when attempting to play SPWAW online. Whenever I try to run GmClient, I get a GmClient error msg.:<br/>
<br/>
"Run time error 430. Class does not support automation or does not support expected interface."<br/>
<br/>
The GmClient menu then freezes with diagonal lines through it ...

I have had two PBEM opponents tell me that they can see all of my forces and mines when my air strikes fly over in SPWAW v4.4.

Anyone else seen this glitch? Any way around it?

<t>I am currently engaged in a PBEM battle in which I am heavily invested in air strikes and my opponent has hordes of infantry and few vehicles. <br/>
<br/>
When I target his infantry, the air strikes always seek out trucks or SPA units, even if they are far away from the targeted infantry. I have ...

<t>What are 'random starts' in the Battle Generator custom maps button? Does this mean the turn at which a unit enters is random or the starting line during deployment is random?<br/>
<br/>
Do random victory hexes mean that the points assigned to VH could all be different, or the conditions for ...

<t>I have attempted to begin two separate PBEM games, one with v4.2 and the other with v4.3. Both times, all of my transport trucks and ammo carriers have disappeared. I have successfully deployed them, but when my opponent sends turn 1, they are nowhere to be found.<br/>
<br/>
Any ideas?<br/>
<br ...

<t>My PBEM opponent and I have noticed the same thing with the unsecured game we have been playing. When moving the cursor over the battlefield map, movement is slow and halting. Also, when clicking on a unit, there is frequently a distinct pause before the unit menu comes up, or the unit moves, etc ...

I just finished "War of the Rats", by David Robbins. Excellent novelized account of the famous sniper duel between the top Soviet sniper (Zaitsev) and the best German sniper (Thorvald). It took place during Stalingrad.

<t>I have read the manual twice, and maybe I am just glazing over it, but where on any menu is the option for choosing the neat new Victory conditions, such as exiting to win, hidden Victory Hexes, time spent in a VH, etc.? <br/>
<br/>
Can these be accessed when designing a game from the 'Battle ...

<r>I began with v1.0 and have progressively upgraded through v2.3 since then. I now have many Mb of upgraded files.<br/>
<br/>
As I understand it, v4.0 is not standalone, but installs over v2.x. Can I now delete the v2.0, 2.1, 2.3 files and just install v4.0 over the v2.3 or should I delete all ...

<t>Is it just me, or are the air strikes still as useless and ineffective in v2.3 as in v1.0?<br/>
<br/>
I have 6 P-38's with rockets against the Germans in 1944. Germans have a moderate assortment of mobile AA's. After six passes, I have one halftrack kill, many rockets and MG fire missing targets ...

When I upgraded to v2.0, I now no longer have the background battle sounds and video replay light is green, but does not work when I click it. Preferences are set to all sounds ON.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Ed James

<t>I had just upgraded to v2.0 and had started fresh PBEM battles when the announcements came out regarding the new patches to 2.1 and 2.2.<br/>
<br/>
Are the PBEM games I started with 2.0 compatible with the patches up to 2.2? I would surely not want to start all over again so soon if I don't have ...

<t>Is it still impossible in v2.0 to set game turn length when designing a game from the 'Battle' menu?<br/>
<br/>
Small games on small maps really should be less than 34 turns (!) when one is attempting to build a sense of urgency into the battle.<br/>
<br/>
If I am missing something or there is a ...

Will the inaccurate and expensive air strike problem be dealt with in the first patch?

It is almost not worth it to purchase air strikes and that is a shame since they were so historically important...

Ed James

Thanks, Paul. But what is 'Fred's Save Game Editor' and where do I find it?

Ed James

Is there a way to select game turn length when designing a game from the 'Battle' menu?
Also, is the only volume control from the speaker icon on Windows desktop, not from within SPWAW itself?

Thanks,

Ed James

<t>How do engineers place mines during the game, and how do they detonate bridges?<br/>
<br/>
Also, I have seen the posts regarding the inability of US forces to hit targets even when stationary and locking on a target. I have the same problem, but conversely, the Germans appear to be supermen; half ...
