<t> I would fully expect some randomizer where the Planes stand a god chance of being wiped out or nearly so - a flak trap could be easily set up for this kind of thing with warships. We can assume that sometimes the 100ft bombing mission will be a successful 'ambush', but so should we consider that...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>Another problem/desirable improvement for the HPS games is hex size. With modern screen resolutions (1280 x 1024, 1600 x 1200,...) hexes and units are too small for me. I much prefer the three 3D zooms of BG. This is also why I can't play HPS 2D: the hexes are just too small...

<t> I have the ADG version - components in great shape, box beat up. Laminating it would put it back together - it is just coming apart at the seams.<br/> <br/> I don't think I have ever seen it on e-Bay - the AH version, yes, but not the ADG version.<br/> <br/> I wonder what it is worth. <br/> <br/...

USS America, I edited my message - to reflect your answer.

Sounds good -any idea as to cost?

<t> The following is what I have culled from discussions with others - I have neither, but I do have and have played ADG's EiA boardgame, and I am an avid AACWer and BoA player.<br/> <br/> ------------------------<br/> <br/> Napoleon's Campaigns is about Campaigns - so it is all scenarios, with a di...

Nice reference card, but I am wondering why the Naval Transport symbols are mixed in with CiC special abilities?

Perhaps, then, a succesful counter battery could take out supply and leave residual interdiction in that hex.

Whats kind of missing from this game is a kind of disruption, I wonder if you could make it so that a combat result takes away Action Points for a unit next turn.

Here, here!

Awesome Game!

Yeah, *I* paid for this!

<t> ------------<br/> <br/> I have avoided LCD screens because they are game unfriendly - so, I chose a 22" NEC.<br/> <br/> You bought the wrong tires for your car; don't blame the road for their performance.<br/> <br/> -----------<br/> <br/> The graphics are outstanding for a hex based wargame; as ...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>This is the kind of stuff that would be so helpful if it was a tooltip. If you hovered your mouse over a section of the interface, like the examples that JSS has boxed in, and a tooltip with JSS's explanations showed up, it would ease play so much. <e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE> <b...

<t> I know of three things they discussed on the board at SSG.<br/> <br/> 1. Fix the PBEM secure bug that prevents the player from saving the turn during a session and returning to it.<br/> <br/> 2. Improve the fog of war such that you don't get detailed supply status on enemy units - you will only ...

Patch 1.11 is up on AGEOD site - does it work with the Matrix Edition?

Not that that matters to me - I got mine via DD from AGEOD.

And, get this, you can make the maps look like what you want them to look like using your own Photoshop, Gimp, or whatever skills.

My buck fifty

<r> Better looking screenshots for my technical writing at work involves using a screen capture utility (FSCapture is freeware and one of the best) to output the capture in PNG format, a lossless image format. It compresses well when you want to resize the graphics. Then, convert the file to a high ...

<t> Want a truly ugly set of 2 D hexes - try the Panzer Campaigns series. - very small and no info on the counters - and I don't much care for the 3 D view at the scale.<br/> <br/> <br/> ---------------<br/> <br/> 1. The manual for BF is a mess.<br/> <br/> 2. Why don't they have a zoom in map? What ...

<t> An invasion definitely helps - your AAR inspired me to try it with a simple invasion of elements of the 4th on the East beaches - this crushed their supply situation early, and forced the AI to Split forces. All other units came onto the initial beach heads.<br/> <br/> Also, at about your turn 5...

Looks like he decided to just bring them to the current beachhead.

This might work better; the Japs are all in the front line being subjected to a meat grinder - in two turns he will have almost no opposition.

They stay in the OMA.

"Its a very nice undocumented/unintended capability of DB."

I certainly hope you don't intend to keep it this way. Thats not what Keating seemed to be saying.

It would be very nice to do part of a turn, save it, and come back to it.
