<r> For the life of me I can't understand why they went to a nice round world and yet STILL USE SQUARES!!! Haven't they heard of HEXES??? Arrrgh!<br/>

I was heavily into Civ III, played the Game of the Month over at <URL url="http://www.civfanatics.com">http://www.civfanatics.com</URL> and ...

B-52's?

(I know, close but no cigar since it entered service in 1954...but impressive nonetheless that it still forms a major part of our strategic bombing capability.)

Does friendly artillery or friendly ships at sea provide any defensive fire support when units are being attacked?

<br/>
The answer is yes and no. IF the arty has symbols on the defensive side of the counter then ...

<t> That's right--you have to play the turn all the way through in one sitting.<br/>
<br/>
If you are playing a SECURE email game, however, you can go to the upper right-hand corner of the screen and X out of the game in the middle of the turn. When you restart the program, the main screen will be ...

<t> Herc, if you still have the CD, get the 1.12 patch that allows you to play without having the CD in the drive any more!<br/>

Brad, if you were download only--which has only been available for a short while for KP--there IS a way to get your download again, but if all you had was the ...

<t> My mom bought me the AH game "Squander" when I was 9 or 10--I looked at the little catalog and really would rather have had one of the wargames they had--which was just the big 6 back then--but I especially wanted Blitzkrieg!<br/>
<br/>
So I got to Toys 'R Us and found they had it for ...

<t> No, I got your point, I was just being a bit silly, is all...<br/>
<br/>
I kinda meant that if you took Messina early enough, you CAN kill all the Axis units simply because you can run them out of supply. If you take it too late their supply trucks may still have crates and be able to supply ...

<t> What you describe sounds like a draw to me...though it mainly depends on when you took Messina.<br/>
<br/>
Last time I played against the AI I DID kill every Axis unit.<br/>
By Turn 20.<br/>
<br/>
That gave me an Overwhelming Victory! [:D]<br/>
<br/>
So tighten your belt and try harder ...

<t> Dude, who told you to press CTRL+A? [:D]<br/>
<br/>
I had to go try this out since I've never heard of it doing anything; it looks like what it is showing is the AI group that each unit belongs to. You can load up a scenario and note some numbers, then load it up but go into the editor instead ...

<r> For non-retreat, substandard units take an extra hit 100%, regular units 50% and elite units 30% of the time. This occurs if the unit CAN'T retreat or if it retreats into enemy ZOC and not onto another friendly unit.<br/>
<br/>
Leaving the gap open and not having the unit retreat sounds to me ...

<t> OK, there are already two user-created scenarios you can download:<br/>
<br/>
Run5 Husky Free Landing, a variant of Operation Husky which allows the Allies to pick the landing zones and<br/>
<br/>
Patton: Master of Battle, a what if clash between Patton and the Soviets. This was available ...

<t> It sure sounds like you have installed the game in a long directory path AND have a long file name for the game itself.<br/>
<br/>
Do you have the 1.12 patch installed? It should fix these problems. If you don't, make sure your game name is under 8 characters long--on some systems, if it is ...

Battles in Normandy!

<t> Well, since the Combat Advisor does NOT count grey units when showing odds you have to be aware that you might get higher odds--even an overrun--by using them in an attack.<br/>
<br/>
Similarly, if you always just hit Max to run your attacks you could drive some grey units out of bullets and ...

<t> Hmmm, the only units that have a combat strength of zero are:<br/>
<br/>
1) Units still on naval transports<br/>
2) Non-combat units<br/>
3) Units which have already used their action for the turn and are yellow (or orange)<br/>
<br/>
The game DOES allow you to extend move a unit, thereby ...

<t> Mud doesn't affect the CRT per se, except it may change the amount of AT that terrain gives. Usually it goes up, so you won't be able to get a + on the combat.<br/>
<br/>
What you are probably seeing is that since your units can't move far enough to participate in as many attacks, the Advisor ...

<t> You have to give luck a chance to work for you! The Allies gets a very nice arty bonus, meaning that a combat with a single arty unit in it gets +1 (turns 1-5), +2 (turn 6) or +3 (turn 7 to the end) combat shifts added. The US has LOTS of artillery. The US has LOTS of replacement steps coming in ...
