<r>Your question isnt completely clear, though its a cute idea to make an editor that converts the bin file into a txt file and then vice versa, its what a lot of the latest games are doing - hadn't thought of applying it to make older games more accessible.<br/>
<br/>
As far as excel editors, quite ...

<t>I think the solution is obvious, the finns, who never surrendered, (and rarely made war) have too many units in the game. <br/>
<br/>
Reducing their slots would reduce their impact on the leningrad sector, making the game more historical, and free up some space for a couple of the more ...

They are thinking of building a launch base in Australia.<br/>

<t>High Command is absolutely terrible. I can't think of any redeeming features in it all (its worst feature is tedium), I actually paid money for it years ago, and a few months ago downloaded it for free only to discover its still a ripoff even free! The worst bit was how much the rules patted ...

<t>Wow that penalty is way too severe. I didn't realise all those bicycle mounted, panzerschreke armed, volksturmers suffered so badly from not having gas for their vagons.<br/>
<br/>
I thought that there was only a percentage chance that you were penalised at battle time, with the percentage being ...

<t>I enjoy playing the 1944 scenario vs a soviet computer very much. It makes it almost even. <br/>
<br/>
My usual plan is to run away as quickly as practical, counterattacking south of pripyet as long as profitable, to give time to form strong infantry/assualt gun defenses in rumania/carpathian ...

<t>With all the problems listed, I think your best bet might be a try to create a europe scenario from June 1944. <br/>
<br/>
This would eliminate problems regarding amphibous landing, as the allies are already ashore. It would also solve soviet readiness penalties (in theory the unit editor does ...

<t>Yes, please, make aircraft worth something on the west and med fronts. Much more realistic. <br/>
<br/>
Implementation could be straightforward, just weight them at maybe 4 (?) pts per plane, and time permitting, give each front a small chance of suffering air attrition each turn (perhaps 5% or ...

<t>I also occasionally (1/20) get the mixed up graphics error. It seems to subsititute the axis satellite army tile for the minor city tile on the map, and sprinkle a few along the rhine for good measure. Doesn't affect play (I have 650Mhz, 128MB RAM computer) - probably not worth worrying about.<br ...

Thanks - no need to apologise to me, a bit of debate never goes astray, although being called a "Liberal" is a bit harsh - in my country the Liberal Party is the conservative right! (I suspect you'd be a "Liberal" in Aust!) <br/>

It'd be a long thread that argued who was ...

Yes thankyou you've done a great job!

Just reading the bug fixes turns me on.

It'd be too risky for Saddam to nuke the US, (then you'd HAVE to get rid of him) - he'll choose an out of the way, expendable,low security outpost of western evil like Perth, Australia to prove his point. (come to think of it, if the shield is ever ...

<t>I had always had a slightly different interpretation why the finns weren't more aggressive:<br/>
<br/>
The Russians wanted the Karelia etc to protect themselves from Finnish attack. <br/>
<br/>
The Finns protested that this was not necessary as they had no interest in going past their borders ...

Enough soviet bashing - after all they saved the world back in '45.<br/>

Surely your not saying the Soviet Union was any more neurotic than the good ole' US of A - <br/>

with its program of state assasination of non-sympathetic leaders in other countries (soon to be ...

<t>I quite enjoy playing the 1944 campaign ("The Fuhrer is dead - Get rid of those camps quickly") against the computer. <br/>
<br/>
I seem to remember reading somewhere that the new versions of the game have ruined/corrupted all scenarios except 1941.<br/>
<br/>
In what way? Everything seems quite ...

<t>The WIE book says:<br/>
<br/>
June '44 <br/>
4,600 Luftwaffe aircraft split about 50-50 between two fronts against 13,400 soviet aircraft.<br/>
<br/>
May '45<br/>
17,500 Soviet aircraft.<br/>
<br/>
incidentally, it hypothesises the german:soviet effectiveness <br/>

<t>If the allied armies and airforces are so overwhelming, why does it take them so long to defeat the small fraction of wehrmacht forces I send to the Western and Mediterranean "sideshows" in WIR (and thats with total air superiority over a fuel-less luftwaffe). <br/>
<br/>
It's good to see the ...

<t>In mid-44 the soviets had 48 infantry armies deployed on the main front (79 total) which contained about 405 rifle/cav divisions (as this works out to about 8 per army, perhaps the WIR stacking rating is a little harsh and should be raised to 6 or so). Heavily reinforced armies might be ...

<t>Whew, what a long trip, pretty far from the question, what is the maximum amount of squads the soviets can raise in WIR? and how does this compare actual/potential figures?<br/>
<br/>
For my two cents, the 1945 Red Army/Airforce was BIG, experienced and battle hardened beyond belief, with ...
