Re: TRP - World at War Released v0.8.20c

Playing as allies, I diplomatically pushed Switzerland into positive territory and it triggered the event where you spend tons of MPP's to swing it 40 points away from the axis. Then I assume Germany got a bunch of events that fired because it eventually declared war and conquered Switzerland to ...

Re: Casualties

Historically Omaha beach suffered about 2400 casualties on D-Day (killed, wounded and missing). Given that an average US infantry division had a paper strength of about 12,000 - 14,000 men, you'd expect overall casualties to be roughly 10% for each division (especially since far more than just two ...

First board game played was sometime in the mid 1970''s when I was a young teenager. Think it was either Tactics II or Blitzkrieg, can no longer remember for sure. First board game I owned was a game about Gettysburg made by Avalon Hill, the one with the large rectangular counters.

Re: Font and icon scaling


BUT it might not be optimal in terms of everything fitting on the screen.


Any chance you could make it so the screen was scrollable with the mouse wheel so extra large fonts too big to display on a single screen simply run off the bottom into a scrollable screen? Probably too late for those ...

Font and icon scaling

Really looking forward to this game, but am a bit worried as it uses a similar display to WitP. I hardly ever play that game any longer due to tiny fonts and icons that my old eyes have real trouble with. Any chance fonts and icons are scalable in this engine?

Re: War In Spain !


1-hour turns would be amazing for the carriers battles or amphibious assaults in a WW2 Pacific game!!


Yeah but virtually unplayable for the entire war. A perfect world would be 1 day turns that auto slowed down to one hour turns any time a naval engagement was triggered in the search phases so ...

Lag issues

Coming back to the game after a long break and have run into a real issue with lag I've never seen before. I've tried setting up shortcuts for both the normal .exe and the noLLA.exe, but both versions have major interface lag when clicking to add/remove ships to or from a fleet in addition to ...

Re: Best Napoleonic game


Between crown of glory and empire in arms, which has better play, graphics, and which if any have players?


Crown of Glory had one fatal flaw in it, not sure if it still exists but more than likely it does. Once your army got large enough, not all your units would arrive to fight the battle. So ...

Re: Any small games out there?

Check out RBM Studio's Gettysburg on steam. Very small map and large unit scale of the battle. Haven't bought it myself but saw a review and the author had 20+ hours in and was singing the games praises.

Re: The Juice has been squeezed!

Always killed me about the gloves. I was still an active police officer when this happened and almost every cop on the force used those same type of gloves (this was before cops started carrying rubber gloves for dealing with blood/urine/feces etc. on suspects). Those gloves were always shrunk and ...

Re: TRP - World at War Released v0.8.12


If you set the game to max difficulty and lower the XP bonus to 1 XP (1.5 if really want it hard but 2 is very hard) then France will fall as the AI will rip through everything.


Don't want to harp on anything, but thought I'd post about my new game with the max difficulty set except for only +1 ...

Re: TRP - World at War Released v0.8.12

Playing the allies vs the AI, I think France is too strong even with me giving the AI full MPP advantage in settings. It's August 8 and France just finished its Infantry weapons tech. As you can see from the screenshot France still has plenty of units left on the board and were I to up-tech the ...

Re: Cannot launch game

As an experiment I uninstalled the Matrix version and reinstalled the GoG version and the game launches fine on GoG, so whatever is happening probably has something to do with the two versions or perhaps Galaxy is related to the issue. Also even though the game launches no sc3.ini shows up on search ...
