RE: Learning the rules

<r> Here's a few of the threads I had bookmarked when learning the game. They are either from the War Room or AAR's. I generally play from the Axis side.<br/>

Have you read Macksey's "Invasion"? Interesting read of an alternative history where the Germans win the BoB and invade - or rather, win by invading. A great read!

If the improved Russian ability to drive the Germans back would solely stem from their better training, or quality of equipment or tactics/leadership, which are all to be properly treated by the game's combat engine, then you probably couldn't ...

RE: Graphical Glitch?

<r> I think the e key is just a toggle for the show enemy ZOC button? That looks fine when I have no unit's selected. It's when I have unit selected and then move my mouse, the rest of the map takes on the red shade seen below and below. Take a look at the ocean hexes. I can turn this off by tapping ...

RE: Graphical Glitch?

Thanks pompack, seems like the rail display is WAD. Is the red shading in the sea area normal as well? The color looks darker than the one that's used when I select to show enemy ZOC and only "pops" in when I move my mouse.

RE: Graphical Glitch?

Quick update, it seems to clear up briefly when I deselect units by going to the event log. Once I close that the map looks clean again and I can show rail values. As soon as I select one of my units though, the red comes back.

RE: HBO´s The Pacific

That said, there were definately some great scenes in the show and a couple of real standout ...

RE: OT - File Extraction Programs

<r> 7-zip is the best compression program available that is also free. It will handle a variety of formats and I find it's GUI far easier to use than Winzip. I have 7-zip on all my personal machines. My company has a Winzip license, but I still installed 7-zip on my laptop. <br/>

I've spent more hours with this series than any other and that includes my trip down the rabbit hole of MMORPG's a few years ago, time sinks that ...
