been playing it for over 2 months now - very fun and addictive game. it's still being worked on and tweaked by the developer and he's very active on the forums<br/>

The idea of having to go through the clunky matrix games purchase system to buy all 3 DW games, makes me grumpy. It would be really nice to have a 4th option to just buy all 3 DW games.

I think what the OP is asking is simply for a better visual representation of the the 'fog' that darkens the hexes your units cannot see. I also have a hard time seeing it, and would like the 'darkening' to be slightly easier to see.

What's the campaign like? Is it purely linear? Branching? Dynamic? Is there a operational game that ties the tactical game together, ala XCom?

Both are good. I like CMBO's interface better, but I like PCO's settings and campaign system better.

The rotate view / left right keys are on the num-pad, but are the reverse of what I am used to. Can they be remapped in an ini or cfg file somewhere?

* End of battle tally of KIA, WIA etc...

* Running campaign total of KIA, WIA for both sides,

* Running campaign total of battles lost vs. battles won

7. Continue option for lost random campaign battles -- e.g. not to "Skip" it.

This is already an option now.<br/>

The skip option is to skip refighting the battle you just lost. If ...

<t> 1. Show suppression status of your units on / with the floating icons that show up in the main window view.<br/>

2. Have some kind of warning if the battle is very close to ending.<br/>

<t> I do very much like the idea of a "floating" end, but I don't want to obscure the issue I had: I was winning by more than 2:1, when the game suddenly ended and handed me a loss with no warning or explanation. It gave the Russians a 100% to vicotry conditions, despite the fact that they had ...

Open the scenario in the scenario and template editor. There will be a box for defender bonus with a turn number and an amount of points. I'll guess that it is set for turn 60 and a ridiculous amount of points.<br/>
<br/>
From the sounds ...

Okay, there definitely is some kind of hard coded battle end. I was winning a random battle, 69% to 29%, and when I hit turn 60, it automatically gave the Soviets 100%, and handed a marginal lost to me. What did I miss?

Sorry, I considered those part of the driver files. The files in /Battles are the ones where the TO&E is defined, along with many other parameters for random campaign battle generation. The first file for the campaign's time frame ...

The driver file reference the TOEE files stored in \Battle, they don't actually contain any TOEE. You can see this relationship in the editor when you double click on a battle cluster. It opens the battle file that contains the TOEE.

<t> I see how it works now. It looks like the original TOEE is generated from a hard coded value, then inserted into the Rxxxxxxxxxx.xml file that is used to define the specific battle. That makes it quite awkward to adjust the TOEE for Rand Campaigns, since it has to be done on a battle-by-battle ...

<t> I did look at the documentation. The xml for the RBG presets makes sense -- there is a TOEE listed, and it's used for allowed unit selection value.<br/>
<br/>
The xmls in Data\Random Campaigns do not have any any XML in them for TOEE. There is a description section, scenarios section, scenario ...

I'd like to adjust the random campaign core units a bit, but I can' t find the xml they live in.

I couldn't find how to tell battle length in the manual, couldn't find it in the orders, and can't figure it out from anything on screen in the game. How do I know when it's supposed to end, and is it occasionally longer?
