<r>Is it possible to play this scenario with C&C on? Forces are so spread out I seem defeated before I begin since no one has any orders! I really like scenarios when I can play with C&C on <IMG src="http://www.matrixgames.com/ubb/smile.gif"><s>[img]</s><URL url="http://www.matrixgames.com/ubb/smile ...

<t>To get an idea of how tough command and control was in WWII, I would recommend "A Bridge Too Far" by Cornelius Ryan. It details the Operation Market-Garden affair and demonstrates VERY well how difficult it was to keep units in contact with their commanders, how spotty radio contact was and a ...

<t>Re: objectives.<br/>
To change them your CO must have 3 orders to do it. If your leader doesn't have enough orders on the current turn, dig in (but don't hit M because that costs orders!) and wait a turn. Depending on their command level, they may get more orders next turn. Keep supression down ...

<r>It fires with them as well? If not, I would assume it was moving routed or retreating troops. If it IS firing with them too, it could be that the Germans equipped a "mind control device". You DID see that in the OOB, right? <IMG src="http://www.matrixgames.com/ubb/wink.gif"><s>[img]</s><URL url ...

<t>I referred to "The Thin Red Line" as a "war poetry" movie. It was slower paced in sections, not as bloody as SPR, and had lots of poetic voice-over that confused me more than advanced the plot. Still there were some interesting characters in it and it was interesting to see Guadalcanal depicted ...

What I did to get around it was to download a program called Download Accelerator (look for it at [url="<URL url="http://www.download.com">http://www.download.com</URL ...

<r>Hey bud. I recently purchased "Saving Private Ryan" due to my renewed interest in the War (because of SP:WAW). It is the best war movie I have ever seen and may well be the best _movie_ I have seen. It profoundly changed my perspective on the war and the men who fought for our country. <br/>

<r>Yes C2 is one of the toughest things to get a handle on. I haven't yet but eased my woes somewhat by doing the following.<br/>

The FIRST thing you do when the scenario opens is SET YOUR OBJECTIVES. It takes 3 orders to set an objective so if you say you can't set an objective later, its ...

Questions and observations from a newbie

<r>I started a scenario called "Frozen Hell" last night and a few questions came to mind.<br/>

One thing I am having trouble with is finding out what the heck I am looking at! For instance, I am playing the Finnish in the scenario. I have these tank-looking things that, when the mouse is held ...

Those PCGamer apps are slow and buggy. You can generally just open the CD in your Windows Explorer, navigate to the proper directory and run the .exe found there. It bypasses all of the PCGamer malarky altogether.

Good luck!
