You've got to remember to set objectives. Once you do and once you get used to them, you'll find that C&C isn't that much of a difference. At least that is my experience.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for all the help, now I totally get it! And I checked up those scores that I so nicely rounded off:
14797 to 4932 for a ratio of 2.996 to 1!
I must say that I was a little unlucky there! It was all a matter of 7 points or so less for the AI.

<t>Hi<br/>
<br/>
I've been spending some time to play through a couple of Wild Bill's campaigns that I havn't played before; The victors and Watchword freedom. As all other campagins designed by WB, I must say that the quality and playability is awesome, but... those sneaky russians manages to get ...

<t>This is hardly any new problem. I've had it with all versions of SPWAW that I've played (4.3 -> ), but it's gotten worse. I have a sound blaster live soundcard, and the noise seem to appear at the breifing and debreifing screens, but seldomly in a battle. It only occurs after I've played awhile ...

<t>I think version 5.0x is a great improvement from version 4.x, but there are a couple of things that could be fixed:<br/>
<br/>
* The screeching sound appears to occur if you have the ingame music 'run for too long'. I've noticed that if I leave the game for a fast bathroom break and the game ...

<t>The objective itself cannot be 'achieved'. When you want to change the objective you will need 3 orders for that particular formation, otherwise the objective icon will be greyed out. If you don't have enough orders you'll have to wait one or so turns to accumulate new.<br/>

Hope this helps ...

<t>Hi!<br/>
<br/>
I havn't been around the forum much lately, but I recon this is a common problem. I just recently got the 4.5-5.01 update from a friend who downloaded it with his much faster connection. When I installed the update, the very huge vid998.smk file appeared to be corrupted and wouldn ...

Hi all,

It's been awhile since I last visited the forum or played SPWAW at all. The version currently on my computer is 4.6. I was wondering if anyone could give me an update on whats happened lately, with version 5.0 an d all.

Thanks,

Paco

<t>I'm not sure if you got me right... There's not that kind of msg-box in the bottom bar as of yet, and that is one with "mouseover-msgs" and "opfire-msgs". However, since the 4.5 version included ads, it might not be enough room for more msgs, but I really think that Matrix should consider this ...

<t>I've always kept my msg delays very low or simply off. I like the fast gameplay and I don't find the information valuable enough waiting for. I would however like to have the info at sometimes, without losing the speed. Wouldn't it be wiser to have a little msg-box in the bar at the bottom of the ...

Actually, my two versions are in slots #21 and #22. Both say "THE VICTORS-USA vs USSR", and yes, I'm sure I downloaded both the easy and hard versions.

<t>I just recently donwloaded both the hard and easy versions of The victors, and installed (unzipped) them both before running spwaw. When I went to the campaign screen in the game, I noticed that there were two "the victors" campagins with the same name, making it hard to determine which one's ...

You can always get your troops off, just like with any other transport, press L.

<t>It is actually not the movie clips that take up the majority of the space, it's the soundclips that use about 300mb of your harddrive. I suppose that the Matrix team might want to consider using some other sound format than wave. However, it doesn't bother me since I have way more than enough ...

<t>I finsihed the campaign a week ago or so and I must say that the ending battles were truly enerving. After the ugly 5 points battle my forces where shattered and I only managed draws from that onward. I was quite surprised however that my 16000p to 8000p german points at the seig river battle ...

<t>This might be stretching the topic a little bit, but I always missed having those men-count-numbers hovering over not only on your normal infantary squads, but with the MG teams, cannons and AT teams. It is always pretty frustrating to check on the unit info screen for how many men's still alive ...

You're right about the east front getting a lot of attention. The war on the east front was the bloodiest so far in history, and it was about 5 years of constant fighting.

I think I know the answer to question #3. The 2 reinforcement wolverines should not show up at all in your unit list after battle, since they´re supposed to be auxiliry units. However due to a bug in the game, they do show up in the units list, although they're not deployable.

Hey all,
I can't find the US army 90mm AA-gun anywhere in the units list when buying units. But when I upgrade/change a unit during the campaign I'm playing, the gun's there. It should be available from 1943 and I'm far beyond that.

Any help appreciated!
