Perfect, all I needed to know, thanks! I look forwards to this being in-game.

<t> I'm sorry if I'm misunderstanding, but I don't think we're talking about the same thing. I can set airborne ASW patrols that track in front of a formation without any problems. I can set ship formations just fine for pure station keeping, great for AAW and ASuW work. However, I can't set ships ...

It is really quite simple to setup a ASW patrol zone.<br/>
<br/>
1. Define the patrol zone using reference points. <br/>
2. Set those reference points either fixed or relative to the naval group they will be screening. <br/>
3. Create ...

I still don't get it how to setup proper asw patrol. Let's say that I have a formation with a HVU , two Ticos and a Spruance. In the formation editor I put Ticos near the HVU with fixed bearing stations. I set a patrol zone with four refpoints ...

Okay. You set ship position in the formation editor. You then assign that ship group to a ASW Patrol mission. They should patrol in formation at a reasonable speed setting.Air units are set up separately in the mission editor using reference ...

<t> I have been playing around a fair bit in the Advanced ASW Exercise scenario to get a feel for the 'formationless' formations, and I'll admit it has left me a bit confused. Any ship I assign to an ASW patrol mission spends the entirety of the scenario moving at 12 knots. If the reference points ...

<t> Hi all.<br/>
<br/>
I just bought this game, and what I've played of it seems great...until it crashes seemingly at random, sometimes during the AI's turn, sometimes during my own turn. No error message, my PC just freezes completely. I have 1.008 installed. I have also renamed the sound and ...

As for the 80's. Sorry I will pass on simulating Warsaw Pact attacks on Western Germany. Both sides no longer exist, and the fighting never happened. <br/>

1975 to about 1982 was a missed oppertunity for the Russians...I think that NATO would have been hard pressed to stop them with out using Tac-nukes. <e>[/B]</e></B><e>[/QUOTE]</e></QUOTE ...

For me, modern warfare is all about the hypothetical 80's WWIII in Europe/Norway. I have my doubts about NATO being able to hold off a Soviet offensive on the ground, in the air and on/under the sea. This would have been one war with an uncertain outcome for either side.

BUMP - I am also interested in what types of games will be produced by working with SimCan.

Lokioftheaesir:

Thanks a lot, I'll certainly take you up on your offer if I run into any major problems. I'm glad to see that WiR has such a helpful community!

It will be a while before I'm ready to PBEM anybody: like I said, I don't even fully understand basic movement yet, let alone how to fight an actual war! I certainly can't wait to start playing against others, though.

<t>I believe it is classed more or less as 'abandonware', meaning that while it is more than likely technically illegal to download and install the game, it is assumed by the user that since the company itself no longer sells/supports the game and it is extremely difficult to find in stores anymore ...

Well, I found the scenario quickly enough. Thanks anyways, and I look forward to some PBEM games once I figure some things out.

<t>I'm trying to learn to play WiR, but there appears to be a few discrepancies between the manual's tutorial and the game, namely that there is no scenario called Moscow. Does this scenario exist under a different name? And even if it does, will the rest of the tutorial apply properly to it? I'll ...
