click on it, and it explains how the civilised world spells. as one of the Wizards from Oz, spells different then I do

Note that civilised is spelled with an s...

No it isn't. It is spelled with a "Z"!

wounder why the spelling lesson, not like I am going to use a worthless word like that any time soon

"wounder"? [:'(]

yea, wounder, I wounder why

"wounder"? [:'(]

Wounder: I wounder her up and left her go!

okay lets leave the spelling for people who know how it should be done and get back to the good stuff

been working all day with OB on the OOB stuff for BoB41 (alot of stuff changed since 1940, so it should in our game also)

notice anything different ?

ahhh, kind of HARD since you don't see it every day like I do

even better, 7 day campaign, day two and the AI LW is winning !!!

to be honest, I was starting to think this one was unwinnable, of course it is early, but in most of the tests, the AI is behind 100-150 points on the first day

of course, I wish it would stop leading off the day with the It's, greesh

ahh, they couldn't hold on to the lead, oh well

they are getting there

don't think it is the AI, as much as the scoring for this battle

Hey, HS what's the chance to see some production screens? What control have you over production, as Germany can you build more level bombers than it did historically? It would be interesting to employ a totally different strategy than the Germans, and see if the result would be different.

I got some tests running, so will try and get some screen shots of production in the morning

only the defender has controllable production, the Off player has there production set

From your screen shot, what does "strategy:1" mean? Are strategies selectable? What are the choices?

the AI chooses from various strategies - some are better than others

AI may go after a/c industry, or for the oil industry....or or or.....

as Swift says (dang, that is a long Post Swift, you must be out of practice ?)

the AI picks a Base Strat to use during the game, of course, it will change based on what is going on (Manatory targets) but will try and stick to what it's Strat is

I would really love to get inside of this beast, but it is Code, not data

sorry for the delay

I went with the RAF production, it may be easier to follow, BTR has a lot of more stuff

okay to start with, go to Target list and open that screen, it will bring you here and show you damage and what not, upper left is a button for production

clicking on that, will bring up this screen, showing what you are making, you can sort it though the top info names (dang drawing a blank on what those are called !!!)

but this is what you being made at each factory, and if any are in delay

to make changes, click on the button next to the factory, it will move the map to that factory

that is a factory making BF parts, we can change them to Spitfire parts click on the top where it says change

these screen will come up, showing what you can change

click on Spitfire parts, and if you are happy with it, click on accept

and then it goes back to the screen you were on, and you see, it is going to take 20 days before production begins

(to be honest, you are not really going to do much, production changes in BoB40, maybe in BoB41 long Campaign)

and this is the one that is importent, it shows what you need, what you are trying to have your factories build and what they really are making

so from this, I changed both BF factories to Spitfire parts, so for BF, you see it needs 2 parts, as 2 frames are being made, also there are 4 engines being made for it (I didn't make changes to those, if you changed the parts, I am sure you would of changed the frames and engines also)

(it may not look like much, but those 22 engines, turn into 660 a month, plus the Canes from Canada don't count vs your production)

bottom of the screen, you can turn control over to the Computer, or make it Human controlled

the BoBs I am not sure it is that importent, but I think in BTR all LW players take over production)

that would be the basic, any questions on that ?

also, it is much easier then it looks, once you have played with the different screens

Thanks. looking good. In the second screen capacity, does that relate to the size of the facility, or is it the number of items produced day/week/month?
