<t> OK: I have the code for the collector's edition, I go to Steam, I click the '[+] Add a game' in the bottom left corner. It brings up the pop-up window; I copy-paste the key in - and it says I need to register the original game 1st. Help?<br/>
<br/>
Edit 31st Aug 2018: Never mind, I figured it ...

The offer persuaded me to buy the game, so thanks very much!

Andy, given that AE removed the ability to have the computer run sectors of the full map scenarios, I applaud any and all attempts to produce smaller, more easily playable versions.

(While still mourning the loss of the computer-run sectors...)

There are 159 pages of this thread, so instead of trying to wade through I'll ask directly:
What is witptracker?
What do I need to make it run? (On a W8 machine, that is)
How does it differ from witpstaff?

Joe came through, and once more I've got WitP up on my home PC. Many, many thanks.

I'm in contact with Matrix - thanks Joe - and we'll see what happens!

Yeah, that'd be good - but you need the original email address...[&:]

Many (many!) moons ago I registered an account to buy WitP, and later upgraded to AE. Now, I haven't been here in a long, long time... and I suspect that I no longer have the same email account I registered with ...

Dagnabit. Oh well...

<t> 1st time back here in years...<br/>

One thing that I acutely missed from the initial AE release that was in the original WitP was the ability to set the AI to run certain regions or zones of the map. IIRC this was removed due to the new way the AI is set up, and I was told it would be ...

My suggestion for those that don't think an invasion of Rumania was possible, is to have a house rule that no invasions are allowed along the Rumanian coast. It is very likely we will extend the no-invasion zone that currently exists ...

Well the AI may do some strange things. It tends to be Moscow heavy. Once you jump into a few PBEM games agianst experenced Soviet players, you my be singing a different tune...

<t> Once bought, I'll be playing strictly against the AI. Given that the 'outside influences' have been set by design to be historically fixed I'm actually quite surprised to hear that the Soviet AI doesn't attempt to re-create the early-war shock & "Hold Fast" orders, so I would have expected the ...

Sorry, I wasn't clear enough. I meant the 'proper alpha layer'.

What do you mean by 'proper'?

Steve.

I did them with photoshop, we can try to use GIMP, which is also powerful enough. The most important for the icons to keep proper alpha layer.

Um.... which is?

Sadly, it's going to be too spendy for me this side of Christmas - but I'll be looking to buy it soon after... [:)]

<t> It does seem to me that there's a bit of "PBEM Snobbery" on here at times, as if it's the way "everyone" ought to play. [8|][>:]<br/>
<br/>
I simply won't play PBEM. I can play for a bit against the AI, put the game away again until I want to drag it out again, and generally goof off if I want ...
