Re: Never Thought I'd Start Another One - tc464 (A) vs. Mike (J)

Totally missed that one. I recognize GDW - and had most of their Europa series

Re: Never Thought I'd Start Another One - tc464 (A) vs. Mike (J)


I've stayed at Ocean Lakes in a pop up with 3 kids and my spouse. Fun times. If really bored you should drive up to Wilmington and see the North Carolina.

And if you do, figure on spending a full day there. What impressed me was the junior officers' quarters, little cubbyholes in the middle of a ...

Same issue here. Cannot scroll left if left side full of unit details.

Further, this problem occurs on Windows 11 with a 4K display, but NOT on Windows 7 with the same display.

Tactics II in 63 or 64, then Gettysburg. First decent PC game I played was Sid Maier's Railroad Tycoon (still play it occasionally).

Re: Linux: Anyone install WITP AE as a non steam game using Proton?

Using ubuntu-mate 22.04 LTS and vanilla wine 8.20 (not proton), it works good for me.

I did have to do 3 things to get things good...
1. fonts - I copied all the fonts from a windows install into the windows/fonts directory.
2. music - Had to install gstreamer1.0-libav:i386 for music to work.
