Yo, Dogfish! It works swell. Thanks a lot.

Okay, Dogfish, I'll try this tonight. Thanks.

I've used the Chlanda Editor and checked the properties of all six mortar squads. They all seem to have the same data. What, exactly, should I be looking for?

<t>Did these units ever get destroyed and repaired? I have a problem with a mortar squad that got destroyed and after getting fixed they became a "recon unit." This is a real nuisance because their response time is 1.0 while the rest of the platoon is .3.<br/>
I've tried fixing them in the OOB ...

Paul, you guys really are the best. For what it's worth, I used the "hoof and mouth disease" fix on the "synch" bug. I removed the game, reinstalled it from the MegaCampaign CD and ran the ver 6.1 upgrade. No problem anymore.

<t>Commando/Ranger/Partisan units are extremely useful for reconaissance. I use them for spotting enemy reserves and artillery and then calling in artillery or airstrikes if necessary. I make sure their range is set to 1 so they don't start any fights unless it's unavoidable. I don't move them very ...

LilJoe: For what it's worth, I think the two problems you have are the same problem. When you get the problem on your turn, check the bottom right-hand corner of the map screen. You'll see that little clock.

<t>Paul: I'm never connected to the Internet when I play and I'm never on a network. I've had the "Waiting for all players to synch" lockup happen as soon as AI turn 1. I finally figured out last night that the occasional lockups I get on my turn are probably caused by the "synch thing." I can't ...

<t>Paul: I have this problem every time with games saved after the results screen (in the WWII campaign). This is with the ver 7.0 patch applied to ver 6.1, all saved games and steel.prf deleted, campaign begun after ver 7.0 patch.<br/>
I can convert the saved game to a scenario, open it in the ...

<t>Apparently my lasst reply didn't post so I'll try again.<br/>
Paul: No. I'm not online or hooked into a network. I have an internal modem and it didn't make any noise. Nor did I leave the campaign between the second battle and the third (when the problem showed up the first time.) I don't use ...

<t>Paul: I didn't do anything before this message showed up; I was in continuous battles in the campaign. HOWEVER: I think there's the possibility that my PC started one of those funky and highly irritating Hewlett-Packard update things while I was playing. That might make the game it was connected ...

<t>I upgraded from ver 6.1 to ver 7.0, deleted all my saved games and started a WWII Long Campaign as Germans. First two battles, no problem. The third battle started directly after the second battle without exiting the game, starting another application or restarting the computer. At about turn 7 ...

<t>I've only used level bombers for turn 0 bombardment of front-line defensive positions during an assault. Interestingly enough, that's just about the only way you could use them in real life. They are highly inaccurate but devestating to the targets near the impact area. Just like real life. Makes ...

I wasn't complaining, just noting that it amuses me when it happens. I especially hate SturmTigers because they fire at my tanks and the near miss kills my infantry and (worse)my bailed-out crews.

<t>While a truck loaded with troops should "fit" on an LCM, you have to consider the additional weight. Also, a truck towing anything may not physically fit on the landing craft. So a truck towing a howitzer has the crew on the truck and the howitzer sticking out behind.<br/>
Additionally, I know ...

...an enemy SturmTiger fires at one of your tanks and misses but decimates the enemy infantry in the surrounding hexes?

Also, you can't load vehicles that are themselves loaded. So, if your tanks are carrying passengers, they won't get loaded.

That'll do. Conversely, one could change the end date to Sep 1939. Thanks

<t>I've just about completed my third WWII campaign aginst the Germans (ver 6.1) and I've noticed that the German strike elements are always HS123's. At first I just said, "Oh, well" but when they showed up in Italy in late 1943, I got a tad suspicious. <br/>
I'm sure the AI used to pick an ...

<t>For mortars (50 mm, 60 mm, 2 in, etc) found in infantry platoons, I generally consolidate them at company or battalion level in a mortar platoon/battery. It's just too much trouble to haul them around. They get killed, are out of range or out of contact. In the WWII campaign I usually convert ...
