<r> I first saw it in <B><s>[b]</s>Romistrov Red Dawn<e>[/b]</e></B> where the Germans get planes from turn 2 but the game crashes when the Soviets get theirs on turn 4 - more precisely when the AI Soviet takes their turn and it's the plane they intend to activate (ie Soviet ground activations work ...

same here - games crashes when the AI plane tries to move

I can't actually figure out how to attack with my planes anyway

<r> Obviously too late for this iteration but has any thought been given to using a different map projection for future games?<br/> <br/> For a truly global game Mercator (where the world is projected onto a rectangle) isn't the best option because of the distortion you get between high latitudes an...

<t> It's cool how the game scales - is there a summary somewhere of what each unit represents in each campaign?<br/> <br/> I want to know the scale so that I can give my core units custom names - eg in the USMC campaign should I be naming them as platoons or companies (assuming they aren't big enoug...

Necro!!

But seriously, this is now coming to pass [:D]

<t> Another big thanks for reinvigorating this game!!!<br/> <br/> Purely on a whim I was reinstalling the original Lock 'n Load on a new pc and happened to come back to these forums and saw this thread - I had to keep reading it to make sure it was true!!<br/> <br/> I've got Heroes of the Pacific an...

<t> This game is what I wanted Field of Glory (which is still a good game) to be.<br/> <br/> The unit graphics in particular give the mass effect that makes it look like a significant battle is taking place - every FoG game feels a bit like a skirmish because of the big sprites.<br/> <br/> Are there...

In the "Just another village" scenario, the tank that the cut scenes relate to seems to be in a hex well off the map (on the wooden table) - the first time I played the scenario he appeared on the road, but in the last couple of times he has been inaccessible.

I like the way it works in Field of glory - as you move the mouse over the hexes it plots and displays the route which is then confirmed when you click on the final destination hex

<t> Do you think that you would add content/rules to the base game in a DLC type of way or release the new game as a stand alone product?<br/> <br/> A lot of people are probably hoping that eventually they'll have a LnL sandbox where they can create any scenario from the board game versions - rather...

<t> While I like the idea of heroes and their skill cards, there just seem to be too many of them generated. <br/> <br/> In the 3rd scenario of the German campaign, the human wave attacks from the wheat fields seemed to throw up a hero as quickly as I shot one down, and the only thing that kept me i...

<t> go for it!!<br/> <br/> the Pacific theatre is the poor cousin for tactical WW2 games, but has two big things going for it from a gameplay perspective - fewer vehicles (vehicles are always a bit tricky to represent in turn based tactical games) and one side (the Japanese) pretty much in static de...

Thanks Matrix - I got LnL: HoS and Birth of Rome [:)]

With the $10 Easter gift voucher from Matrix this ended up being a no-brainer - just finished playing through the tutorials, hope my die rolls are a lot better in the real scenarios!!

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: markhwalker<br/> Wow, I've been neck deep in the E2 industry for 24 years.

<t> it really seems like almost anything is possible and seeing the game expand beyond WW2 really reinforces this<br/> <br/> I own Band of Heroes and Not One Step Back, is there anything, particularly in the rules or AI engines, that would prevent someone with the time porting the scenarios from the...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: markhwalker<br/> Yeah, I think it works out to about .00000067$ dollars per hour that Tom and I spent on the game.

<t> without any injuries or loss of endurance, the fully upgraded chestnuts with the white blaze, or the dappled greys with two speed and one endurance?<br/> <br/> the obvious assumption is that they are the same, but the chestnuts can sustain a higher top speed through the race<br/> <br/> but it mi...

so the fact that these pics were released on April 1 is just coincidental?

<t> while the devil is in the detail, the one critical success factor for me is the linked campaign<br/> <br/> I've played other tactical games where the battles are great, but ultimately the one-off nature of them detracts from the overall experience as wins and losses count for nothing when you mo...
