I like the new look, the maps are clearer and the interface looks much improved. I am looking forward for the release of the game!

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: pzgndr<br/> <br/> Here it is. Yes, good enough then and sorely missed now. I am optimistic that Jim has heard our pleas and will show us an improved SOP menu in SS.<br/> <br/> Speaking of AI and TacOps, there were many games I got surprised by that reinforcing tank...

Good news, Cpt! To illustrate the SOP point I was referring to, I had an image of old TacOps SOP that was good enough then, I presume that today it can be done far more comprehensive, but I did't find the way to post it here. I suppose that it isn't possible.

<t> Actually I am not worried about the AI handling the opponent, but about the way the players' own units react in different situations during the period he cannot intervene, in particular in the case of the player with the longest turns (WP). <br/> Doctrine (for everybody) dictates, for instance, ...

<t> A few years ago I remember having the same exchange with James Sterrett, who I know from the times of the TacOps list (presently he is Chief of the Simulation Education Division in the Directorate of Simulation Education of U.S. Army University/Command & General Staff College) and who has al...

<r> I concur with <B><s>[b]</s>pzgndr<e>[/b]</e></B>. Realism in wargames can vary a lot, from beer and pretzel games to have a little fun, to complicated and hard to play military wargames trying to comply both with reality and military doctrine. My wife plays majong on her laptop when she is tired...

<t> In the last weeks I have been playing again FPC, mostly with other players via pbem++ and I guess that some aspects of the game, flaws, actually, IMO, sholud be improved in terms to make the game still more appealing to players who, like myself, would choose a realistic approach over a simply fu...

<r> Cptn, I have just done what you suggested to no avail. I suspect that the issue is just a programming bug in the pbem++ launching menu. I just can't place the cursor and write on the user id's field, which means that the issue starts even <B><s>[b]</s>before<e>[/b]</e></B> I identify myself. Pre...

<t> hello Cptn.,<br/> I am experiencing the same problem, can't log in in the pbem++ servew, the menu doesn't allow me to input my user's name. I don't think it's a Matrix issue though, since I can log in normally with my other Matrix games. Paulo Costa, from Matrix support has been trying to give m...

<t> Thank you Gents, but now I have a related problem I've already asked about, but wrongly considered a minor issue: When I install Germany Reforged the game engine downgrades (if already on 2.0.14) back to 2.0.10 and everything runs smoothly. But if after that I install the 2.0.14 patch, apparentl...

Are v2.0.10 and 2.0.14 pbem files compatible? I tried at PBEM++ and they weren't.

<t> Rincon, your English is very good, actually I speak Portuguese fluently, having lived or worked in BraZil for 14 years, but keeping chatting in English will allow everybody to follow the topic.<br/> Thank you for your tips, I have just watched the databases as you explained me to do and found a ...

<t> Perhaps I asked the game too much, I wanted it to be like a military simulator, but I guess that many of the prejudices of the developers concerning the WP forces were embedded in the game. TacOps, an unfortunately outdated military simulation developped by US Marines Major (r) Holdrige and empl...

<t> Rincon,<br/> It is very interesting what you say. Where do you exactly find the data related to any unit in particular? I tried the editor but such things as equipment, like thermals, isn't available there. I am interested in the order delay times each side has in particular, IMO the time for WP...

<t> Good, but just please remind me how to play on Pbem++, if I ever played pbem++, it was a long time ago, when FPG was published. An I was (or still am, on Steam, but grew a dislike for it whilst playing Flight Simulator X, so I switched to Prepar3D and mainly forgot about it! I can make several t...

<t> Well, it seems reasonable, but on the practical side I have noticed that my OPFOR manual tactics don't work. I have played scenarios with WP having just T64s and BTRs against M1s and M2s with missiles and thermals, for not to say that frequrently my units were frozen on site.<br/> And yes, I wou...

<t> In the scenario I tried they were rather quick to die, I was decimated in one or two turns whilst my units stood still, like good heroes of the Motherland, without seeing a single enemy and dying too fast for the force's sake. After trying a few more scenarios with similar results I decided to e...

Yes, you are right, the unhappy Russians just have light amplifiers. Well, then that scenario is a no-go for the Russian player, it puts on the stage blind players against short sighted!

<t> I am playing with a friend the A Test of Wills scenario and found out that the T-80's thermal sights are unable to see under the rain beyond 500m, something that not prevents NATO units from firing and hitting their targets from several hexes of distance. Upon the first turn the WP units became ...

<t> It happens that, after a long time with FPG safely stored in my HD I updated it to GR hoping that the aspects of the game I disliked and pushed me to quit playing it had been corrected with the succesive updates. Some had, some others hadn't.<br/> I pbem the scenario you refer to with a friend, ...
