<t> I just completed "Overlord" as Allied and won a Marginal Victory mainly because I killed half of the Axis units but,still, I haven't understood how the Objective hex work precisely.<br/>
I think the objectives are marked by the Nazi flags but I'm not sure abt that and, anyway, I'm not able to ...

I would like to see (before CL will arrive) a "Twin" MC: Italian invasion from UK AND Italian perspective. Just as an icescream with 2 flavours instead one....

<t> After having solved the bug of the wrong OOBs (bypassing it through a systematic backup-saving of each scenario-starting point) and another nasty one (the cul-de-sac scenarios where you were repeating them in an endless loop.Thanks to yr patch!) I finally fully enjoyed yr masterpiece. Yes, it is ...

<t> The only way I found to solve this bug is saving at the beginning of every scenario all files and placing them in a separate folder so that if the game crash you can always restart it from the beginning of the last scenario. The crash happened to me random and never since I started the a.m ...

Many thanks again Bill. I will start MCSE again from the beginning (after I will have enjoyed a nice week on the red sea) and I will send you my impressions afterwards.

Same problem plloyd. Because (and other bugs) of that I stopped playing MCSE, waiting for a patch.

" Hopefully in CL we will see that feature."

What do you mean for CL ? I missed something abt future releases, I guess. Thanks.

1981, same first boardgame: unforgettable!

I agree with you 200%.[;)]

<t> I already played many scenarios for 501 and 347 bypassing the bug I mentioned you in this thread (making a back-up saving for each battle at the very beginning) with great fun!<br/>
But... after many battles with the 501s the game started to loop repeating old battles, sometimes as 501s ...

<r> An "Intelligent" AI is (obviously) the key. I'm "A little skeptic" abt that because there are too many variables also for the state-of-art PCs so I would consider to make the game in 3 modes/options (all together in the game):<br/>

<r> I'm currently trying to reach the end of at least one of the 4 sub-campaigns but I can't because of a nasty bug. Between scenarios, randomly (apparently), the game fail to find some oob (on the left bottom part of the screen it start to overlapping many lines saying "OOB not found" (or something ...

Sei un Grande! Io non avrei resistito ma tu ....si! Ovviamente.
[:D]

Same problem of you, Jim. Have you found a solution for the corrupded (?) save files? Are you using SPWAW 8.0 or 8.1? Does it happen randomly between 2 scenarios also to you?[:(]

<t> I installed normally SPWAW 8.0, then 8.1 patch and finally MCSE. Randomly, before starting a scenario (so far I played only the 347 ones) the game crashes to the opening window (where you click on "Play SpWaw"). Just before that, on the left bottom part of the video there are several overlaped ...

<t> Being, unfortunately, near the 40s [:(] I had followed the computer gaming since its real beginning. The 1st real love was a game named "Bliztkrieg!" that is, in practics, SPWAW in its core and primitive form; since then I played hundreds games with ever growing graphics and special effects but ...

<t> Thank you very much for the explanation, Bill [:)]. Thank you also very much for making these masterpieces of computer strtegy games. I just have a (new) dream: SPWAW with yearly new MCs (possibly made by you) and with a brand new graphic plus a good new engine. Sometimes the dreams come true ...

<t> I agree; maybe an option/preference like the "Ironman-mod" used in other type of games (basically the present system in the megacampaign) would be a wise solution. I still make it with the classic alt-ctrl-del (and then re-open the program restarting from the last save) but I would prefer to ...

Finally I got the back-up CD (33 days after the order). I hoped to find the SPWAW Vs 8.0 included but...nothing. I have still to wait for a week (ADSL connection) to enjoy this Wild Bill masterpiece... [:(]
