While I am at it, one question. I have registered to "Dogs Of War" forum October 28th and I have received an email, the same day, saying:
"Before you can login and start using the forum, your request will be reviewed and approved. When this happens, you will receive another email from this address."
Since then, no news at all. How much time is it needed in average?

24 hours at max most of the time, give them a email or shout on steam and ask

IIRC someone on this forum runs that site--I think Asid? You might want to send him a PM.

Thanks for your help guys, I have replied the email I have received and my account is now activated. It was not possible to send a PM since my account was not activated.
But, it works now.

I purchased RGW 1941-1944 I think when it first came out it, it was awkward back then but it was an itch I needed to scratch. But I'd always go back to TOAW (I have been playing TOAW since 1998).
Just recently I picked up WWIIe, agian it has that itchy scratch I want to get at, and again the UI in WWIIe is quite annoying at times, but it's also playable if your very very patience and willing to overlook the awkwardness of the UI. There is some gems in there. Some of the game play downsides is it has no political or scripted political events. But operationally speaking its pretty cool, if you can look past the lipstick...
That being said TOAW is still my go to with operations level warfare, I'll take the occasional hike into WitE/WitW but those are quite mental consuming at times.
The other great operational game is DG CWIE2, its UI is not really that bad and its based on SPI's (1976 and DG's 1999 remake of) War in Europe, so it has all the board game features of that in a computerized way (note I am not talking about the old DOS one called CWIE).
So getting back on topic.
Love TOAW (currently IV) UI and operational level warfare.
Like CWIE2 a lot.
Tolerate WWIIe and want to like it more.
What is CWIE2? Are you referring to this game?

Good question, I have also checked and this is only what I have found.

Yes, Computer War in Europe (CWIE2). That is the link.

Just a heads up to everyone who has been following this thread, the long awaited, gargantuan scenario #102, the big enchilada is finally available. The...entire...ETO. Like many of you, this is the reason I bought the game years ago.
Anyway, I've been looking it over the last day while relearning the game, and I have to say that it looks like a grognard's dream. Those of you who have been on the fence may want to revisit this title.

I was just there a few hours ago. I saw nothing on the Home page or on the forum. [&:]
It isn't finished.
WWII-Europe Campaign Scenario #102 Update
« on: Today at 01:00:31 AM »
"Tonight I finished data entry on all units in #102. There are 3399 units in the scenario. I have a file on Designer Notes to share with the community now that describes the numbers for each country, how the #102 units were selected, how they enter the game, and other information on new rules to be coded.
I still need to develop the expected points and replacement points for #102 scenario. I am working with Asid to make the files available to the community.
I want to thank the community for their patience. Its been a long road, but I see how to get to "scenario complete" now."

I have the link from Ron Dockal, and it still shows Patch version 1.0.11 Content
Please keep us informed. Definitely something to celebrate in the near future!
Best wishes to all,
Mike

Ah, I see what you mean Lobster. I glossed over the part where it says "I still need to develop the expected points and replacement points...".
Still, it's playable; just won't be able to allocate any replacement points yet.

The scenario is complete now:
"Just a status update. Tonight I finally completed the entire #102 data file and scen102.wwe files. Now I am switching over to code changes. Knowing Asid, expect those to be posted soon for download.
Will need to get my coding skill set back, as its been a while since I have written any software. And I need to study my own documentation and code for how I have it laid WWE out!
Some time this weekend, I'll list the changes that I plan to make. I will be starting with the rules that are necessary for scen102 to work. First up is the new Allocate HQ Move op.
Thank you to the community for your patience,
Ron"

Thanks gentlemen for the update! Just in time, as I was trying to wrap my head around WitE2 and Warplan Pacific!

Dunno, seems like "the rules that are necessary" for a WWII in Europe scenario to "work" are not exactly trivial. Is this another two years, or what?
