<t> I don´t really think that HOI is real time. I see it more as a turnbased game (1 hour = 1 turn), as you can easily pause every hour and adjust your orders. Turnbased grand strategy games like GGWAW or "Battle for Karelia" have the problem that huge provinces are changing ownership every time ...

<t> I am more of a lurker at this forum, though I enjoy reading it very often. I am one of the guys thinking that Gary Grigsby is GOD [:)] (Oh, how I´ve enjoyed his games, WIR in particular), bur frankly am not too excited about WAW (looks too "lite" for my taste), but I will give it a fair chance ...

<t> Hi,<br/>
<br/>
have been happy playing 7.1 with MC LV for quite a while. Now I have managed to convert a RTS player to SPWAW for a MP tryout. The only problem is, that I have 7.1 and you can now download 8.0 (8.1).<br/>
<br/>
So my questions:<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
1) How much of an improvement ...

<r>Hi, I am a German, usually into strategic wargames (Clash of Steel, War in Russia) but I too love SPWAW, though I am not really good, but hey, I am German so there must be some fighting spirit in me <E>:-)</E> <br/>
I would like to find some folks for a occasional game, I do have time from now on ...

<t>I have always been looking for a game that covers the whole of WWII on a strategic scale, and I MEAN strategic (not the tactical games they sell as strategy). While WIR is really a great game it has several flaws, but, as much as you, I would be more than willing to pay money for such a game. It ...

<t>Thanx the two of you. I tried Mustangs idea, it worked quite nicely first. But when adding MSCDEX (loaded high), I only haf 545k of conventional Ram left, which is simply not enough. I have not even loaded a mouse driver! What can I do to free more conventional RAM, there is nothing loaded ...

<r>you could probably PBEM me, for I have just started playing WIR as well (and I suck *g*). The others in here would probably finish me off in two months <E>:-)</E>) Have you already played (as the Germans?)? I started crying when the blizzard hit my previously invincible armies for the first time ...

<t>I agree with Jonas, I have never heard of large Soviet armored columns advancing far ahead of their infantry (which was basically walking), so the range would only be interesting if you implemented some sort of fuel consumption into the game. <br/>
<br/>
Regarding the prices, mine all refer to ...

Try making a link file to the DOS executables of ...

Tom, you are just about right, the Tiger cost approximately 260.000 Reichsmark, while the Panthers cost was something like 120.000 Reichsmark. (While a Pz-IV cost something like 104.000 RM)

<t>Me again with two questions:<br/>
<br/>
Why is it that in the game a Panther costs 9 to produce and a Tiger 8, while in reality it was way cheaper to produce a Panther then producing a Tiger? <br/>
<br/>
Second - can I equip my normal Panzerdivisons with Tigers or can I only equip those 50x Heavy ...

<t>Hi, I am really wishing to play some old games like SP2, Tanks!, Clash of Steel and so on. The bad thing is, they all aks for EMS-Memory which my WIN98 does not give them (at least I don´t know how to). When right clicking on the executables to get a link to DOS-mode it still doesn´t work.<br ...

<r>Well, I planned on capturing Moscow during my Summer offensive 1942...is it normal that I had mud well into may? This really frustrated me. And why is it, that my bombardments of Soviet Airfields are not as successful any more than they were in 41? Also I am not able anymore to fight big ...

One more thing:
Why is it that the Luftwaffe seems to perform rather poor againt the soviet fighters? Not only during blizzard?
I think I remember reading sth. about a Luftwaffe bug in a message? Is there such a thing?

<r>Proud FIELD MARSHALL CHRISTIAN TOPFER REPORTS:<br/>
Hi I started playing WIR some 3 weeks ago. I started off without really knowing the rules (Baaad mistake) and did ok till the blizzard of 41 hit. Well, this was due to my previously made faulst, so I decided to start again, vowing to fight on ...

Again, thanks for answering my questins.

IS there going to be a new WIR? By Grigsby? What is he doing right now?

<r>Hmm, I am now experiencing the first snow and I fear I made so many mistakes that my campaign is already doomed. But of course I will continue to fight until the end. Soviet losses are staggering and about the same numbers posted by other players. But my losses are way too high I think ...

<r>You guys rock. Thanks a lot. I love this game. I ran about it some time ago, but was too lazy to read the manual. And it was not the graphics that made me not play it but the absolute lack of sound. Kinda frustrating to me. (Now i am playing German March Music in the background mp3s hehehe)I ...

Thanks a lot for replying so quickly! You really helped me? Is there any way to bomb Ural? (I guess not *sigh*)

Regarding 3) - no I know how to change the types. I would rather to know if I am abtle to influence WHERE my 30 new Tigers go (which unit receives them)

even more:
aa) should I place all Fighters in Germany and West Front on CAP instead of Escort to counter the Bombing of my Reich?

bb) Does it make ANY sense at all to have a HQ in Romania or Hungary with troops and Fighters in it when the front is in Russia?
