Hi, I take it that all this work is being done on the version 3.2.2 of PacWar - correct? I'll have to DL the most recent version of this and have a go at it. Thanks to everyone for keeping this classic going.

Hi, Many thanks to Ian, Rich Dionne for posting a good way to get these games to load in DOSbox. I had them running (WIR and PacWar), but they were slower than pond water in January. With rich's config, it runs fine. And thanks for Matrix for keeping these forums going all this time. Now, I just nee...

Hi, What version of PacWar are you making these fixes on?

Hi, I'm looking for the printed bound manual that would fit the DVD case. My eyes are not what they used to be and it's difficult to look up an item in the manual while the game is up. I'll pay a reasonable amount. Thanks.

Where does one get the OLD editor??

I just bought this. Is there an editor for it so one can add RN BB units?

<t> Zeke, I saw your posts in the other thread, and was just ribbing you. <br/> <br/> I can't get it to display correctly on my T30 with XP so I'm just re-reading and studying the rules and Ob files until i can get a dosbox setup running.<br/> <br/> I've been trying to locate some A6M monthly produc...

<t> Hi Rich,<br/> <br/> It's been a while since I worked through this; the allied RCS routine does use tankers to deliver fuel, but I guess the Japanese RCS routine does not. That's a big difference in the way both side's tankers are used. It's also wrong for the "requisitioned" but undeliverable fu...

OK, well the map goes straight across, so I'll just look at those islands in Japan and cruise the cursor due east and see where it hits the North America west coast.

I don't think this change was in effect in the Matrix v 2.2 and 2.3 editions.

<r> How many of you knew of this, especially you Zeke99???<br/> <br/> From Shattered Sword, p 89:<br/> <br/> "Japan would produce just 56 carrier attack aircraft in all of 1942 (Vals, Kates, and Judy & Jill prototypes), a pathetically low figure". <br/> <br/> Nakajima and Aichi had actually stop...

<t> Zeke99, this is just for you! (but everyone is welcome to read as well).<br/> <br/> From Shattered Sword, p 89:<br/> <br/> "Japan would produce just 56 carrier attack aircraft in all of 1942 (Vals, Kates, and Judy & Jill prototypes), a pathetically low figure". Nakajima and Aichi had actuall...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: bradk<br/> <br/> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Fishbreath<br/> <br/> As before, I'm always happy to host files should you release another version. <e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE> <br/> Thank you. Will send when available. I expect to return to work on this at some point.<...

I checked the OBC41 file (with Rich Dionne's editor) and it looks like there is a Japanese army unit in Eastern US at the bottom of the LCU list!?! I'll check again and post the exact line # and unit info when i get back to the computer with the OB files.

<t> I'll try to upload the Orig 1992 SSI data card here in RTF. It is identical to the one Capt Harlock uploaded in another thread but has two additional pages of errata including load factors for fighters. <br/> Well I guess I need to load it as a .TXT, formatting will suffer but you can all fix th...

<t> Cerran, thanks. <br/> <br/> I've been buried in this for the past 10 years, even while not deployed. It was meant to illustrate the significant role logistics planning and capabilities exert on operations. No fun at all from a gaming perspective though, and that's why it is so abstracted in PacW...

<t> Hi Denniss, <br/> <br/> Somewhat abstracted. That would be an understatement. You might like to think that they are rotating, but it's not correct. In fact, there is something in the PacWar-Hint11.doc that specifically states that ships can be used more than once, due to the "time scale" Umm, ye...

<r> Hi, People see my posts and I'll bet they often think, who is this guy to say this or that was logistically or politically not possible, etc?<br/> <br/> Well, I don't know what everyone else's background is, but in addition to being IT pro (never programmed a game though) I've been a logistician...

<t> Cerran, It should patch the EXE. I will have to dig out a hex editor or comparison tool - if I can find one - to verify. Otherwise, it's a cumbersome, but not impossible routine to start via a command prompt run noendwar and then pacwar in succession. <br/> <br/> Now if i can only get the screen...

<r> Thanks Brad, I'm not singling you out, because even the original versions had these ratings. It's just that it has vexed me for as long as it has been in existence, and you're right; "correcting" one thing can have strange 2nd and 3rd order effects on other things.<br/> <br/> PacWar is a fun gam...

<t> I simply cannot get PW to run on my XP equipped ThinkPads. Quite exasperating, especially since Capt Harlock mentioned that reaction moves seem to not work when using DOSbox..... <br/> <br/> I can get 630KB at the command line verified by MEM /C largest single block. I can actually get this to 6...
