Any news on this? I really liked the game, but I want to be able to finish without crashing.

<t> The pirate ships that were destroying my military were of a type commonly used by them. Some kind of cruiser that could kill my destroyers with 4 or 5 hits, while my ships weren't doing much damage at all. In this case it wasn't some lucky capital ship they found. I think it's just really early ...

Hmm, so pirate eradication is more of a mid-game thing. I suspected as much, thanks.

Part of the problem is that font has almost no spacing between letters. The empire name in the above example looks like 'Sayblulm Industnes'.

<t> So, I'm playing a custom game as my first. Everyone's starting in the pre-warp era. Since I know nothing about the game I've got everything automated and am blindly taking all advice from my advisers. At first they advised me to pay the pirates for protection, but as soon as I cranked out a few ...

I've always been a bit dissatisfied with the way CC games abruptly end. It would be nice, at the end of a long campaign, to see a soldier spreadsheet of what medals were awarded, and who killed the most tanks, when and where they died, etc.

<t> Ah, I didn't know you could merge battlegroups. That's very useful. How can I find out what is in a battlegroup? Each one seems to have a lot more units available than you can see on the map. How do I know what infantry unit has no tanks such they might benefit from merging with an all tank unit ...

<t> I had a disconcerting battle the other day. I was using the all tank battlegroup, I believe it is the first unit with tanks that appears on the allied side, and trying to fight a night battle in Cheux. I was the defender.<br/>
<br/>
So the battle starts, and I can't see a darn thing anywhere ...

This button doesn't work for me. I'm using the Steam version.

I haven't played a CC game since LD, so there's some new stuff I need to learn. Somehow.

The March 14 beta patch fixes the problem; <URL url="http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3060832"><LINK_TEXT text="tm.asp?m=3060832">http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3060832</LINK_TEXT></URL>

In the grand campaign, I see alot of under supported Chinese armies, and I have no idea what to do with them. Should I just let them defend in place, or is there some way to organize them such that they make actual territorial gains? What should be the allied goals in China?

<t> I am a week into the grand campaign, and I have been using B-17s and such against every enemy TF in range, I guess because thats all I have in the Philippenes. There was an old SSI game where this was effective, but I admit that it seems a difficult task to bomb ships with a heavy bomber. In ...

Since MacArthur is commanding a restricted HQ, I can't move him right? I can replace him as commander, but it doesn't seem that I can then use him anywhere else. Each HQ seems to have its own separate pool of commanders. What am I supposed to do with regards to MacArthur's 'return'.

<t> I'd like to get some ground based aircraft to Midway asap. Early in the war when I have 2 carriers, these are the only way to re-base air units long distance over water correct? So I have to empty out the normal carrier planes, load in some land based ones from Pearl, then carry them over to ...

Sounds like the Battle of Sunda Strait<br/>
<br/>
The loss of 2 carriers early will probably come back to haunt you in the next year of game time.<br/>

This was the only surface combat vessel I could find in the Phillipines, and I was able to ambush the Japanese invasion ...

<t> Thanks. I have some related questions. Is it possible to change the nationality of a base? I know there was a large U.S. base in Espiritu Santo during the war, was it nominally Australian? Can I put a U.S. HQ there even if it's Australian? Is there somewhere in game where new ground units and HQ ...

Are the troops assigned to a restricted HQ like Australia Command? There are very few units in Australia at start that can be moved without changing HQ. Additionally troops need to be in the right mode: Combat for Amphibious and Strategic for ...

<t> Its turn 1 in the grand campaign and I've never done this before. I'm trying to get some troops and supplies from Australia to Espiritu Santo in hopes of building up the base there. I've watched the tutorial vid regarding loading troops, but I'm not getting the same results. When I try to load ...

Ugh! I just lost two weeks of my free time to this bug. This needs to be fixed. If it happened in the latest patch it should be reverted. I just bought this game when I started playing two weeks ago, and now I find that it can't be finished. If you aren't going to fix it then stop selling it!
