<t> Just out of curiousity, the original install already did the VC++ 2008 pre-requisite installation. How come I am asked again when I install 1.07 patch? When I allow it to install, it comes up in maintenance mode. I exit at that point. Games still works.<br/>

You may want to ask the ...

Physical copy arrived today by "snail mail" from Los Angeles. Physical manual looks super. I wish I did the same with WITP.

<r> I run the game in Windowed mode. Laptop is powerful enough and I have other browsers open. Currently the game will stop (even if it is the computer's turn) as soon as the the window it is in lost focus. It will restart when the window is in focus again. <br/>

laska2k4 added the "2" to the names of the three classic scenarios and claimed to have improved the map. Other than that, what are the differences?

I have downloaded both but not necessary want to keep them around unless there difference in game play.

<t> I had bought the Uncommon Valor boxed edition back many years when it first came out. However it was bought from an authorized online retailer locally, the guy run it out of his basement so I had to pick up the box from his house.<br/>

Since the manual (for WITP:AE) contains more than ...

<r> Thank you Erik. <br/>
<br/>
Just ordered boxed edition. Download takes less than 2 minutes for me, 5 MB/s. Fast internet helps.<br/>
<br/>
Downloaded couple of the mods so I can visit the classic SL scenario: Guards Counter Attack. I'll go through the tutorial later. I have to look in the ...

Other than pretty pictures. Any charts, rules, tables, etc.?

Since the boxed edition includes download, that way I can download/install while I wait for the box to arrive. Question is: Will I still need the manual once I figure out how to play the game?

<r> Other than the $18 price difference and the physical DVD, what else is in the box?<br/>
<br/>
As for the manual: Color or B/W? How many pages? What type of info are in the printed manual?<br/>

I don't play full screen but this setting works good:
"C:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition\War in the Pacific Admiral Edition.exe" -w -px1600 -py900 -deepColor -cpu2 -skipVideo -multiaudio -archive

My laptop resolution is 1920 x 1080.

Based on what you said: <br/>
Stock Map/Data: I can only use the "A" scenarios from Babes.<br/>
Extended Map/Data: the B, C, Small Scenarios, and RA Mode. <br/>
<br/>
As for Stacking Limit. Are they included in the Stock Map/Data? From my understanding "stacking ...

<t> Updated to this and load my Guadalcanal (scen 4) save game playing against Allies AI. AMC Australia shows up with a British CV graphics. Do I need some graphics updates as well? I have backed up the original scenario files, should I restore them??<br/>

If limiting yourself to the stock map a bunch of Mods will have issues. Da Babes and RA work with the Extended Map and Stacking Limits.<br/>

<r> After finally finished a WITP:AE campaign as Allies playing against the Japanese AI. I have played few of the smaller scenarios like Guadalcanal, Marianas, Mountbattens Folly, Wake. All of these seems to work with the stock game with all patches as per: <URL url="http://www.matrixgames.com ...

The AI doesn't exactly follow the rules. It follows scripts that might keep having it do something regardless of the situation in the war. There has been some talk of teleporting ships as well, but i've never seen it confirmed. <br/>

<r> I did not see any AO in my searches. But then I was very surprise in seeing especially the mid 1945 raid that knocked out the CVEs I have been using to escort the convoys. By the time my full size CVs get to the scene, the raiders have passed the north/south line of Pearl Harbor. AI was smart ...

<r> Just finished a game vs AI in the full campaign. A-bomb has to be used to hastily wrap things up by late Oct 1945. I am surprised Japanese had only less than 10 AK and TK left at the end. Instead of going traditional route, I liberate China instead via Wenchow and Hangchow (just west of Shanghai ...

Don't forget USS Bowfin at Pearl Harbor. IMO Bowfin is the most interesting of all when I was there a dozen of years ago. The bookstore beside it was well stocked as well.
