Thanks, all. It was the order of things (Troop Transport ... Set Target ... Pick Up Troops) that I was missing.

<r> Well, I knew it had to be there somewhere -- but the section on "Air Unit Information Screen" (the page 152 reference) isn't a logical place if you're looking at the table of contents for the first time in years. But thanks for the information!<br/>
<br/>
I did find the page 170 mention, but ...

<r> Being a business owner, and having bought another practice a couple years ago, my playing time has been <I><s>[i]</s>severely<e>[/i]</e></I> limited and I've forgotten a lot of details. For example:<br/>
<br/>
I want to send some air units out to pick up troops, but the option is not available ...

<t> I'll second Dr. Hal and a couple others: the most important thing in an opponent is an understanding that, jokes in the forum notwithstanding, there is life outside the game! Accepting that a daily turn isn't always possible goes a long way (especially during tax season, for those of us in the ...

<t> Went to see the movie this morning (early bird rate of $7.50, compared to $10.50 normal price -- didn't think the latter would be worth it based on other reviews, and I was right). Here's the review I posted elsewhere. Keep in mind that I don't know as much about this battle as I do some others ...

It might be a typo in your post, but if the error message is exactly as you say then there's a misplaced period in a shortcut (you have it after "exe" instead of before).

<t> I've never been a great contributor -- certainly not an expert in the game and I tend not to say anything anyway unless I really have something to say -- but I have been away from the forum for quite some time. In my case, it's a matter of real life intruding; I had my own accounting practice ...

<t> We often see sometimes-spirited discussions about great war movies (or even non-war military-based movies), but if there's been a discussion of the scores in those films it's long enough ago that I don't remember it. So, just for the sake of something else to argue about (as if we need that ...

Sounds like you're running on a new machine. If so, it might be a firewall issue.

<r> Good suggestions. I can rule out almost all of them (this happens whether or not any other applications are running, I have hibernation set to never if the computer is plugged in, and so on). I did mention McAfee because anti-virus programs can be the scourge of getting things done on a computer ...

<t> One of the infuriating things with all the advances in Windows over the years is the decline in native troubleshooting tools!<br/>
<br/>
I'm having a problem that I haven't seen reported before, though that doesn't mean nobody else has seen it and said something (in other words, it could well ...

I'll just echo what everyone else has said so far!

<t> Apologies for such a tardy response. Work-related issues have kept me away from the forums for quite some time.<br/>
<br/>
To answer the various questions:<br/>
<br/>
1. I play in full screen mode. I've never noticed much trouble switching between programs, though I know others have.<br ...

<t> Not looking for help -- yet -- but reporting on my own Win 10 problems. I had no problems whatsoever until a few days ago; now it takes close to a minute just to see a response to a mouse click or a key press. I know I accidentaly installed some software I didn't want (trackpad on the laptop ...

Welcome back ! The old timers remember you [:)].<br/>
<br/>
I think you can redownload the game from the members section of the Matrix forum, if you have registered the game. Not ...

<t> Just an update, 3½ years later. Due to a hard drive crash I just had the pleasure or re-installing everything. The problem with xcopy vs. copying with File Explorer (on Windows 10 now) still exists. As a sanity saver, I'll point out that only the base directory needs to be copied this way; the ...

Political Points have nothing to do with attacks. They (and Restricted unit status) are just a means of limiting (by their cost) the number of units that can be moved to the battle area early in the game - i.e. by having to save PP to buy a "restricted" unit to ...

<t> If you're going to Japan, I would save the smaller islands for another trip. Transportation in the region isn't exactly like what we're used to in the "First World."<br/>
<br/>
You could easily spend the whole 3 weeks in Japan, and there are plenty of things worth seeing. Two recommendations ...

Not here as often as I'd like to be (as evidenced by the fact that this thread was started 3 weeks ago and I'm just seeing it!), but I haven't gone anywhere.

Got the combat replay. Haven't yet looked at what I'm going to do about it!<br/>
<br/>
Most negatively notable, that damn Japanese sub hanging around Midway sank xAK MAHIMAHI. Two destroyers and I don't remember how many aircraft on ASW and they can't even find a sub whose ...
