Hi all,

I’m trying to confirm whether the folder structure in my installation of War in the Pacific: Admiral’s Edition matches what others have.

My installer is the v10079DR Digital River version, and after a clean install + patching to 1.8.11.26a, my game directory looks like this:

War in the ...

What about map differences? My scenario is pre 2015 so I'm sure it has an older map. If I create a NEW scenario bases off of a stock scenario provided with the game that the new scenario will be using a newer map version?

Hi all,

I’m looking for some guidance from experienced modders on the cleanest way to move data from one scenario into another.

Specifically, I want to take the ship, ship class, aircraft, device, and LCU data from an older custom scenario and bring it into a newer scenario built on the modern map ...

With the new patch I looked at my test unit in slot #2861 from my copy of the grand campaign scenario.

Here is what I found still:

1) It shows the symbol for a HQ but it says it's an ENG unit
2) The type is 198 which I believe is correct since it's not an HQ such as a corps or army but a ...

I'm considering adding a second monitor to my photo/game desktop so the screen isn't so cramped and I can have tools like WitP Tracker and my notes document open without covering the game window.

Does anybody use a 2 monitor setup and if so how does it work? Will I have to add any new switches to ...

I love Keyboad Shortcuts. Most of them are very helpful indeed.

However, I do not understand the combination of " I, J, K, L "?

Apparently they move the whole game window "up/left/down and right".
I could just move the Window as a whole with my mouse. If this indeed functionality is needed at ...

I set up a situation in the scenario editor where I cleared all the attached units to an Infantry HQ so that no units were using that unit as a primary. Then in a smaller unit cleared out it's attachment to its primary unit.

Here is the Infantry HQ unit.

Attachment #0.jpg

I then attached the ...

I might be trying to do the merge wrong. Once it crashed the first time I tried it with all the options and each one crashed to the desktop on me. If what I was trying wasn't possible it should at least notify me instead of crashing.

1. Do Army, Navy and Corps HQs not use shell classes? Are shell classes only for Division, Brigade and Regimental HQs?

2. What happens when a TOE has a shell class but no shell type or shell capacity information?

3. Unit 2870 (a brigade) has a prim unit of 2861 (a Division HQ) yet it is assigned ...

While I was trying to figure out the OOB for the game before I started I stumbled onto something that may clear up some confusion. I know it did for me.

Here is what I saw in my test copy of the main campaign (using extension files to convert to English). I will use the Com.Larache Infantry Divsion ...

If I patch to 1.128Beta will I be able to copy my game file from 1.126a and continue playing that game?


Yes, you just save your old .exe as a .bak file and paste the new .exe into your folder. If you are playing PBEM, then both players have to use the same .exe file.


Sorry I should clarify ...

When I had to reinstall because of a system crash and moving up to Windows 11 I completely reinstalled from the CD version and then up to version 1.8.11.26a and the most recent manuals in the manuals folder that I have is from 2009.

My printed manual and my PDF manuals all seem to be from 2009. I know there's more hotkeys than is listed because I stumbled on someone mentioning the 6 hotkey.

Is there a list anywhere of current hotkeys? Or at least what hotkey - if any - will show all air radius circles at the same time?

Thanks

I did not know that. Now to rearrange some things to get my 2nd Marine Parachute Bn from Suva to Luganville so they can be dropped.

Thanks

I am not going to say never but the Spainish civil war is not a subject I have any interest in and hence unlikely to purchase no matter how good the engine is reported to be.

OT: I've WitW but have rarely played it despite my huge interested in the WW2 in Europe. I can't get past the air war ...

Strictly from the point of view of would you take Lunga (defended by 6,000 troops) with those forces, I'd say yes (and don't land the combat engineers).

I've moved the combat engineers from the initial assault wave to the floating reserve so they won't take part in the actual assault. I guess it ...

What would be truly impressive if every land battle would open new window where battles would be solved in War in Spain-style...

But that might be bit like trying to play War in Europe board game in house with cats...3600 counters...

I was playing around with a small scenario - #3: Battle of Republic del Norte 1937.

When I resolved combat and the combat resolutions screens came up I couldn't see the location of the battle being highlighted on the screen so I could see where the battle was. I've just read through the manual once ...
