Hey Mess, happily I'm still above ground! New career, new family, new town ... I have more time for hobbies in the summer, who says an old dog can't learn new tricks!

Hi Major! I've been away a loooong while now, but I really appreciate your steadfast support of SPWAW! It's a game that brought me into computer wargaming 20+ years ago from a demo disc in a magazine ... Like many others, I am waiting for Steel Tigers or whatever ... cheers Mess! (P.S. Viking, I rem...

Hello, as a former ASL player back in the 80's and 90's, I am really enjoying this game. However, I have a gripe regarding a couple of weird unit choices. I have purchased all the DLC's, and while examining the OOB's in the stock DLC scenarios, I have noticed that almost every German heavy machine g...

I seem to remember that you can hop them over the ZOC's of enemy troops somehow (I think it was strategic movement) but I'm not sure, since it's been awhile since I have used them.

Moving Oil over a land connection is free in Shadow Empire, but costs quite a lot over water and air (1 oil = 1 logistical point), so I would imagine it's easy to run out of LP if you need to transport it. I think this is the case! I have added another transport contract and nationalized another po...

Multiple SHQ do not automatically share resources.

I only have one SHQ, the one in my home zone. I'm thinking it may be a logistics points issue, but not really sure.

I had this problem too when I tried a port attack. However, I didn't declare war and re-invade that port, Instead I picked out a beach hex in a non-aligned zone and invaded there instead. I agree that the sea transport contracts are a bit confusing! Another question ... do transport contracts allow ...

Hi Magirot, thanks for the reply! Yes, I did mean nationalization of the port. I did have some population in that zone, but not quite enough. In the end, I tried a few things. I ended up boosting the zone population with a boom town card as you suggested. I also boosted worker happiness with various...

What are the implications of privatizing a makeshift port? I did so last turn in order to perhaps then upgrade the port to improve flow of supply to my offshore colonies on the new continent. However, now I have no connection to SHQ to build roads in that colony! Is this problem connected to the pri...

Ah, I see ... Thanks!

Looks like many of the units are too heavy, but some that are light enough still won't transport. This is what I'm seeing:

Quick question on Port Assaults. I have contracted a MTH to conduct a port assault on a major regime's apparently unoccupied port and the logistic contract is for 13 turns or so. I activate strategic movement, the strategic movement arrow appears from my port to the enemy port, but when I right clic...

Never mind, I figured it out!

Any reply on this? I can't install the update either (same message). Do I have to buy this on steam instead?

I have the same message. I have the steam version of the game and bought the dlc from Matrix, could that be the issue?

This is what (manual page 32) I am talking about

I noticed while perusing the manual that there are several campaigns depicted on a save campaign screenshot that don't seem to be amongst the campaigns that come with the game; Finding a way home, and Canadian campaign. Are these dummy campaigns or user created content perhaps? I would love to play ...

I have been visiting this site for over 20 years and it would be strange to not see the SP sequel/Combat Leader/Steel Tiger threads recur every couple of years. Over and over, and over

Along with the usual lamentations of SP's demise ...

I have a question about fuel. My mechanized and tank forces always seem to be short of it and the SHQ note says that it is not available to SHQ when I check unit supply. I do usually have a surplus according to SHQ and a balance of 1000 or more all the time. I have really built up my logistics and f...

I got an email today that I received an anniversary coupon, but when I click on the link it says: The token provided is no longer valid for this user Bummer... I can only surmise that somehow my old Matrix account is somehow not jiving with the new unified one. Too bad since I would probably have bo...
