<t> Alby, I have had this problem since the game was released. I tried a fix of setting the shortcut and .exe files to compatibility for Win98/ME. This cured about 80% of the missing or delayed sounds. It makes the game playable, but not as smooth as SPWAW. Check out the forum at Shrapnel Games ...

<t> I have a stepfather who fought in WW2 in the Pacific. He and my mother were visiting me one time and I was playing SPWAW in another room. Soon after I started he came into my room to ask what was going on. He thought that he heard machine gun fire. I showed him the game. He says the .50 cal ...

<t> I think that the whole series of Steel Panthers are the best wargames that I have ever played. The only other game that is close is Harpoon 2-3. I played Close Combat. You could not see all the action and the oob's were not realistic. Even the sounds in the Steel Panthers series are realistic ...

Thank you for the fast response.

I am installing Flashpoint Germany on a new computer. Do I install the original release and all the updates in order or can I just install the original release and the 1.03 update?

Dear Wild Bill;
Yes the crews got away at the cost of most of the rest of my force. It would have helped if the F4U's would agree to attack the enemy infantry instead of some mortar or cave. They acted like air force, not marines.

<t> Apparently this is a feature and not a bug. It seems that if the aircraft can't find a target it does not appear instead of just flying over the map like it used to do when it couldn't find a target. I tried again and targeted a hex with a mortar. This time the F4U appeared and attacked the ...

<t> I found a new bug in 8.2. While playing the scenario "Rough Rescue" #14, my marine F-4U's do not function. I get a message that the aircraft is attacking, but it never appears or attacks. I tried going into the editor and deleting the present f-4U's and repurchasing them. However, the same thing ...

<t>I only play the Allies so the only mega-campaign that I bought was Watchtower. I am still playing it and have throughly enjoyed it. I definitely will purchase mega campaign-screaming eagles. The Screaming Eagles is probably my favorite division of WW2. Combat Leader, which promises to be a great ...

<t>Okay, I finished the scenario with the German mg42s' speed set to 0. All but one remained on the map or were destroyed. I may have missed the one that retreated off the map. I would say that the solution works if your side is advancing or assaulting. I am sure that others will come up with a ...

REMF; I agree with you about the speed 0 solution. It will only work for the player who after selecting his or her side, then uses the editor to set opposing mgs' speed to 0. And that only works if the player's side is advancing or assaulting.

<r><QUOTE author="REMF"><s>[QUOTE=REMF]</s>I'll be intrerested in knowing about the speed "fix," Jim. And BEWARE of the MG's in H2H - I walked a 12-man squad into one that was on a hill and it took out 10 of my guys!<e>[/QUOTE]</e></QUOTE>

Dear REMF; And the MG42 is the worst. So far they stand ...

<t>I would like to thank all of you for your answers and information. I understand the situation. The Mg change benefits player to player play, at (unknowingly at the time) the expense of player v A!. So the solution seems to be to select mg's that behave as before fr and change their weapons back ...

<r><QUOTE author="REMF"><s>[QUOTE=REMF]</s>I haven't tried the "speed 0" solution, but I know when I did it with other units in the past they would often "repair" themselves and be able to move again. As a designer I have to switch all MMG's to HMG's (water-cooled) and then change weapons, etc., for ...

<t>I know that this subject has been discussed earlier, but I am not sure of the solution. I am playing a scenario vs. AI as the US vs. Germany. The German machine guns are uncharasterically running from battle before even encountering my units. Since the Germans are defending, I opened the scenario ...

<t>Norway v. Finland 1/42 meeting engagement on large map with 13,000 pts. per side<br/>
<br/>
Finland has:<br/>
13 Companies of ski squad: each co. has hq ski squad, 4 platoons of 4 ski squads each, 4 ski mo9-21 hmg; 1 50 mm mortar<br/>
1 such co. without hmg's or mortars;<br/>
2 40 mm AA<br/>
4 76 ...

Addendum to previous post. I checked my preferences and rarity was off. I hope that the information helps. I love SPWAW.

<t>I tried following your instructions twice.<br/>
First Battle was Norway v. Ger. meeting engagement in 6/41 with a medium map. Germans had rifle squads, 3-4 mg's and 1 mortar. Norway had similar amount of rifle squads, 2 75mm AA guns, 3 skisnipers and 1 mortar.<br/>
<br/>
Second battle was Finland ...

<t>I agree that the HE Pen values of MG's and AA guns are mystifying. The 12.7 mm and .50 cal. have a HE Pen of 23,but some 20mm AA have a HE Pen of 0. <br/>
Also, I think that the accuracy ratings of MG's of 12.7 mm and below are too low. These MG's were rarely causing any casaulties to infantry. I ...

<t>I have been attempting to request reinforcements in solitaire scenarios. When I enter the purchase screen it says that I have 0 points even though I have not requested or used reinforcements. I have tried increasing the battle points in the preferences. It makes no difference if the scenario has ...
