RE: How To Store

<t> Well, I seemed to provoke more of a response that I had anticipated. Let me sum up my thoughts.<br/> <br/> !. I was not aware there were 800MB CD/R disks (I had called a couple of places and all they carry are the 700MB versions).<br/> <br/> 2. Thanks for the detailed instructions on how to obta...

RE: How To Store

<t> Yeah, that's my point. I would not have minded if Matrix would added a disclamer stating " will need a DVD drive, flash drive, or use special Zip utilities to save this game" to hard media. Some guys don't own or can afford to upgrade to a DVD drive or flash drive. &nbsp;I guess one could, a...

RE: How To Store

<r> <B><s>[b]</s>While not giving a 'warning' as such, the file size is listed in the download stats that you can see before ordering. Iknow this sort of thing is annoying, but you'll need a DVD burner sooner rather than later, so might as well get one now. <br/> <br/> Actually, I own a flash drive ...

RE: How To Store

<t> The point is why should I (or&nbsp;anyone )&nbsp;have to deal with DVD, flash disks or such just to store the game ? If I would have know this was going to be a problem, I would have waited for&nbsp;the disk version to come out[:(]<br/> &nbsp;<br/> Furthermore, it would have been...

RE: How To Store

<t> Thanks, so far for the tips. However, when I purchased FoF per download I never figured this would be such a problem. I don't mind payimg for a DVD disk (if that works) but it is a but much to have to pay $20 for a flah drive! Perhaps Matrix has a solution (like sending us a disk when available)...

How To Store

I downloaded FoF but the zipped folder is 738MB and will not go on a CD-R disk and a CD/RW disk also will only hold 700MB. Do I need to store it on a DVD disk?[:(]

EEV Acchen in Plan Martin

<t> Currently I am playing the German in Plan Martin. One of my units managed to take a hex in Acchen but was forced out a turn or two later. However, in the news it said Acchen captured, supply dump captured and awarded me 600 VP but no increase in my EEV. Do I need to take and hold all the hexes o...

RE: Combined Arms

<t> Putting a bicycle unit in a town by itself and digging in won't last long, but add a few SPGs and some engineers to help you dig and there you still have it- an impregnable strongpoint. <br/> <br/> In one game I am currently playing, I have hit an entrenched armored Ant-itank platoon in open gro...

RE: Combined Arms

<t> It wasn't a stupid question. Many games gives a bonus if you attack pure armour with armour and infantry. <br/> BTY, I got the idea from 13.6 - the scenario guide for Plan Martin by Daniel Mc Bride. He says "this avoids the "ant factor" for the most part, and gives some scope for "combined arms"...

Perhaps it could be switchable within the editor so each designer could decide if he wanted it know or not. [8|]

RE: EEV Question

Thanks for the reply. Sounds dumb why the EEV isn't shown on a display somewhere. Perhaps it could be changed in a future update, Should not take much to progam it in.

EEV Question

Guys,

In many scenrios, such as Plan Martin, your current EEV is quite important. Where is that displayed, I can't seem to find it?[:(]

RE: Matrix Games Announces Forge of Freedom!

I own Crown of Glory, find it extensive and a bit much for me. However, a streamlined system applied to the ACW sounds about right for me especially since I have more interest in the particular topic.
