The Ardennes Offensive scenario is on the KP disk.

I have played it - it is there. Unless, of course, there is no spoon. . .

I can't help out in your dispute with the librarian, but perhaps I can with the DDhelp error.<br/>

Fist of let me say I am a sys admin, who beta tested this game and I have done quite a lot of DirectX troubleshooting over the years. I can assure this game should run fine on ...

Well done for fixing that DirectX bug, you're inches away from playing now.<br/>

The colours on the menues can be a little dark, I pumped up the brightness and contrast on my LCD to seee them better, but it sounds like you're having more serious problems! To make the menus ...

The AI is only a good opponent for a short while. Once you learn its style it becomes easy to beat. The real fun in this game is against a human opponent of equal (or a little bit better) skill. If the AI is no match for you anaymore then start looking for some PBEM opponents ...

I'm really surprised to read that you're selling KP because it won't run. I too build my own PCs, and as a system administrators a huge range of PCs come through my offices over the months. During beta testing I loaded the various builds I was sent on all manner of machines, and ...

<t>I'm not playing our turns because I'm a bit pushed for time right now. . .oh and because getting my butt kicked all over the ardennes is a bit depressing! I will have to conceed defeat in our current games (another two mulligans?) If you're reading this Scott you take heart from the knowledge ...

<r>This bug cropped up during beta testing. Its a windows directx error. Here's a copy of my post about it. Let me know if this doesn't work or you're not sure how to boot into Dos or find the file once you're there. I'll do my best to help!<br/>

<t>When a unit is forced to retreat through a combat result, but cannot, it no longer automatically takes a step loss. I think a normal unit has a 50% chance of taking an extra loss, an elite unit a 1/3 chance.<br/>
<br/>
I think for isolated units they no longer take an extra step loss plus a ...

Artillery doesn't have a minimum range in KP

<t>The Russian AA units often have anti-shock value, which many Russian infantry units lack. They are useful defensive units, to be stacked with infantry to form a solid line. They aren't much cop as recon , as they can't use extended movement in enemy territory, and they aren't much good in attack ...

Its fun to fire up 1st Ukranian front as the Axis and see if you can destroy every Russian unit by turn 16. If you can do this then pump up the AI with extra replacements / combat mods and try again! Its is achievable and it feels good when there's only your forces on the map ...

<t>I just wanted to through in my 2 cents. I think not having a printed manual is a good thing. Its just a waste of paper and space. We accept the wargame is computerised - so why no tthe manual? Pdfs are easy to read and search - they don't get lost or have coffee stains on them. If you like to ...

<t>Is the game halving the units attack value due the minor river, dropping the fraction and then applying the divisions integrity bonus (15/2 =7.5 rounds to 7, +7 for the DI)?<br/>
<br/>
I think this is how attack strength is always calculated when it is affected by terrain.<br/>

<t>I ran KP on a number of PCs that came through my office whilst beta testing to see how it worked on various OSs and hardware specs. The lowest spec machine I used was a celeron 400 with 128 mb and KP worked fine. <br/>
<br/>
Yeah - i did wipe the machines once i'd finished testing so there aren't ...

<r>The Kosun Pocket scenarios have been listed under the "classic Wargames" ladder at the Blitz PBEM wargame club.<br/>

<r>I'll declare my bias straight off - I beta tested this game and think its very good.<br/>
<br/>
It is not an exercise in numbers.<br/>
<br/>
It is about operational planning and tactical flair. <br/>

Anyone who feels differently is welcome to challenge me to a game!<br/>

<t>I can well understand your frustration. We have all been waiting too long for this game. All can do is tell you that the build we are currently testing is very stable, and has more features included than any of us testers expected. The KP scenario we are playing is very well balanced and about as ...

Don't worry about the quality of this game. Although as beta tester I can't say much I can say that this game is very stable, is great fun and looks good. What more could you ask for?<br/>

Checking out Brubackers AAR should allay any concerns you have!<br/>
