I thought of that too - like maybe one team member plays Paulus and the 6th Army or whatever. But if we do 'pass the save file around' can each team member get some sort of 'action report' to see everything that happened last week?

<t> Just getting into this beautiful game. Is there any reason I could not play this game with a group of friends via email - I mean more then 2?<br/>
<br/>
Suppose one guy played the Reds and another played the German forces and a third played the Rumanian/Italian or some other logical seperation ...

<t> for about the fourth time I've become interested in this series. I've purchase Cross of Iron and Wacht am Rein and will soon get Longest day.<br/>
<br/>
This time I am determined to create some maps of my own. Can someone point to the latest and best map and modding tools? There are plenty of ...

<t> I have this game in order - and it will be my third time around with WIP.<br/>
My question is simple. Has anyone figured out how to modify a saved game file so that you could, say, sink a ship or add damage to an airbase?<br/>
<br/>
Why? because I love to use a grand strategy game like WIP to ...

OK - I see that the searching is directional but at least you can see the exact location of each serach plane right? That's pretty cool.

<t> I am close to adding this game to my collection. I DID have the original but <br/>
<br/>
- does this version have general directional searches by scout planes or do you direct your searches hex by hex?<br/>
<br/>
- also - is real time multiplayer for 2 players or can there be more?<br/>
<br ...

<t> flipper - why so arrogant? security for pbem games could easilly be maintained by using an optional password that one could easilly know when somone has peeked into the saved game file or stop them from peeking in the first place. That way the rest of us could play with the files if we wanted to ...

ecgcx - thanks - you got the idea - inelegant as it may be - but is scuttling the only option? what about just adding damage? it has always seemed odd to me that with all of the scenareo mods and analysys tools around there is no way to simply edit a game in progress.

<t> _Stele - you get the idea. I would never expect the games to automatically update each other and it would probably not be cool for a human to human matchup.<br/>
<br/>
However - I still wish there was an editor so that I could use a WitP combat report to build a SH4 or IL2 single mission, play ...

<t> Love this game but also love Silent Hunter 4 and Pacific Fighters and so I ocasionally recreate an encounter from PW in 3d. Would love to feed the results BACK into PW if there was a way.<br/>
<br/>
Imagine creeping up on the Yamato in Silent Hunter knowing it would effect your pacWar campaign ...

<t> How difficult would it be to set up a 3 way pbem game where the US player is allied with his British/Aussie/Dutch partner against Japan?<br/>
<br/>
I imagine that the Japanese player could email his saved files to both Allied players so that they could look over the action reports and then the ...

I already own this series and I've gotten most of them to run but when I go to run Napoleon in Russia I get a map load error. I'm using NIR_103 and NIR_dll to upgrade. Does anyone know if these are the right patches? Thanks.

i own all of the BG games but when I went to unzip the Tiller 32bit patches I get a map read error when I open a new scenareo.

Are there other patches somewhere that I need to apply? I loaded the game fresh from the original CD.

Thanks.

WitPDecoder looks great but I can't find it in any of the fan sites....do you know where I can get a version of this? Thanks!

I would like to do a data dump of some kind of a scenareao already in progress so that I can play display certain data on amap such as supply points or troop strength. Has anyone built a utility that can export or edit this kind of data?

Thanks.

<t> Thanks Ibeam - I tried that but I still freeze up as soon as I go into any scenareo. Must be a graphics thing. My NVidea drivers are probably TOO new for this game or something. Do you know of any age-of-sail type games that DO work? I can't beleive no-one has made a good TACTICAL, top-down game ...

I picked this up for 10 bucks - it's called Privateer's Bounty AOS II. DOes anyone know if any patches exist for this. It just freezes up in XP so far.

<t> I didn't expect TOO much from this game given the cost BUT - when I finally reached the tactical 'action' phase of the game I had the option of arranging my troops and then pushing the 'fight' button. Then I sat back and watched what looked like an ant war on my screen with no control over the ...

Great news - any idea where I can find this program? I downloaded one from Freds site but it only works with earlier versions of SP.

Thanks.

Is it possible to edit a game that is in progress - for instance reduce or eliminate tanks or troops or blow a bridge?

I'm interested in this in order to combine Steel Panthers with IL2 sessions.
