Actually, I had just set them to stand down, they had been set for CAP 30 - it was an oversight on my part not to change it for the screenshot.

<t> Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. My remark with respect to CAP was simply that they might not be flying because the incoming raids (which admittedly have not been numerous) might not have been detected in time without radar. The FP (or PA in this case) remark was because the PB2Ys are most ...

<t> Damn, I've played the game many times and still forgot that. Interesting, though - float planes are not bound by this evidently. Do you know if that's only if there's a tender in the base (there is in this case)? It also doesn't explain why I'm not flying CAP, but it may be that the base radar ...

<r> Thanks all.<br/>

Please see the screenshot. I realize in fact that Marcus is only at level 1, but planes should still fly. Anyway, you can see I have PBYs flying search and SBDs and PB2Ys flying naval (with corsairs standing down until something nasty shows up). Baker is kind of a ...

<t> Playing the allies against the AI, I see that my land-based air on captured atolls sometimes doesn't fly in any situation. Notably, Baker island and Marcus. I captured both and built up the airbases (and ports) to level 2, with ample supply and air support and decent leaders. PAs seem to be ...

<t> How I loved that game thirty years ago or so. I still have it somewhere. It's a monster, but I always thought it represented an excellent set of compromises between playability and realism. Its way of telescoping time to allow both for broad naval movements and weeks of inaction AND blow-by-blow ...

<t> I have an old question and a new one. I've played the game a number of times (against AI) and although I almost always attach special forces to an invasion, they never seem to land. I know, there has to be an eligible hex, and the SF unit has to be attached to the amphibious HQ, but they never ...

<t> How stupid of me, it's been too long, I should have realized the thing about the fleets. I look forward to further updates and once again, THANKS for keeping this excellent game alive. If ever you get bored, you might think about reviving the PC version of AH's old "Third Reich"!<br/>
<br ...

<t> First, my bad on my initial difficulty with 1.23.02, I hadn't realized it wasn't a setup file. It works now.<br/>
<br/>
On the other hand, I find that both .02 and .03 lock up on land combat whenever a flanking attack is chosen (as French against AI). It asks for me to create my flanking force ...

I'm afraid that doesn't work, I still get the same message. The install doesn't begin, as soon as the exe file is double clicked it says that there's a problem with the installation, then dumps. Don't sweat it, I'll wait for 1.23.03 and let you know if that works. Again, thanks!

Cool! In the meantime, I downloaded the 1.23.02 update but it won't run, it says there's a problem with my installation and I should contact Matrix support. Any ideas?

And thanks for continuing to update this classic game!

For info, I came back to this game after a couple of years of not playing it and re-installed using 1.23.00. Utterly impossible to place any depots as the French (against AI). I uninstalled and then reinstalled with the old setup and it was fine.

Actually Speyside is in the Highlands, so Glenfarclas is a Highland scotch. It's true that Speyside is typically kind of put off on its own, primarily because there are just so many whiskies there, but don ...

<t> I have to preface this by saying that every three years or so, my best friend and I go to Scotland for a few days and visit distilleries. In fact, we laid down a cask at Bruichladdich a few years ago and in a few years more will each take possession of about 100 bottles of very fine Laddie.<br ...

<t> Thank you!!<br/>

You have saved this game for me. WITP has long been my favorite computer wargame, but I changed to a newer computer a few months ago and ran into scrolling problems that made it unplayable. I tried all the command line fixes in all different combinations but NO ONE ever ...

<r> Thanks for the input, but that's not really the problem. I've never found that I'm short of trained pilots as the WA, but I'm <I><s>[i]</s><e>[/i]</e></I>always<I><s>[i]</s><e>[/i]</e></I> short of recon units, particularly since they have a habit of getting very tired very fast and I rotate ...

Thanks all, that's quite interesting, including the historical note. So from a practical perspective, there's nothing to be done once the replacements (i.e. conversions) stop trickling in. Alas.

<t> My second question in as many minutes but... anybody know what to do with the two allied recon squadrons flying the F-9? No more F-9s are ever produced and the two units can't be upgraded to anything else. The allies are always short on recon and it's a shame to see these two squadrons sitting ...

<t> Hi all. I'm on my third run-through for the campaign as the allies, and I'm still having trouble interpreting the metrics screen. I've bombed the bejeezus out of the Reich, focusing, for example, on fuel and oil. The LW is flying far fewer sorties (mid-44) but I don't see a dent in "fuel stores ...

Thanks! That's very useful.
