This video is to update and correct some information from my first video about assault value.

I was made aware and subsequently shown through in-game testing that AA weapons DO infact participate in ground combat. In this video I will show you how they do it, and where you can find out their firepower ratings to take it into consideration!

I hope you enjoy this presentation, and questions/comments/suggestions are very much welcome and appreciated!

I'm back with a new tutorial video! I'm going to cover a topic I've been neglecting far too long! We will cover Combat Reporter V1.1, how to install it, and what it can do for you.

Thanks man!

Thanks Jochen! Great work. Your videos were so useful to so many of us when we began with this game!

Thank you so much! I appreciate it very much. If anyone has any topics they would like me to cover please let me know here. I'm currently down to just doing videos for the DesertWolf Campaign and one more for myself so I have a lot of bandwidth for tutorials.

Time for another installment! Today I'm going discuss Japanese unrestricted Infantry divisions, something I recently learned about. If you're planning to play as Japan in a Grand Campaign with Scenario 1 or 2, this is must-have information!

Hot off the press!

Today I'm going discuss everything you ever wanted to know about political points in WitP:AE. I think I hit all the important points, but if you want more information, you know what to do. Chapters are provided below for your ease of navigation!

BannanaConvention <S> Sir!

These Video's are awesome help. This game is Huge and these help you make sense of how things work and how to do what you are trying to do. I have found another series on YouTube as well. Everything is very helpful. Thank you for posting this listing.

Thank you so much for the kind words! I love making these videos and am glad people are watching them. I believe Strategy Gaming Dojo has a tutorial series on YT as well. We have a different approach to presenting our information but he's definitely got a lot of topics covered.

Yes, Strategy Gaming Dojo, that's another great series of tutorials!

My Wife got me this game for Christmas. I love this community. So many people with so much knowledge that share it to help us with some of these pretty complicated games. Love Grigsby's games as well. I have been playing EDBTR for years. I love the Editor provided with this Title. Wish Matrix would allow one for BTR again. Oh Well. LOL just having fun with these fantastic games.

Today I'm going to teach you about command line switches and why you should use them. We had a utility called SeaBee that used to allow us to build custom shortcuts that took advantage of these switches, but that program is indefinitely down for the count, so I'll teach you how to do it manually!

Custom Command Line Switches allow you to optimize the game for modern computers, create custom resolutions for your game window, improve the visuals, and unlock game settings during PBEMS, among many other things.

My personal shortcut target (mind the game path but copy & paste!):

"C:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition\Beta2\War in the Pacific Admiral Edition.exe" -SingleCpuOrders -cpu2 -wd -pxf1920 -pyf1080 -deepColor -dd_sw -altFont -skipVideo -archive -cd

The person who made that utility did not update his Google site, he has not been online here for awhile. I do have it but unfortunately, my computer internet is down otherwise it might be attached to an email.

The file is less than 13 MB in total.

All the way up!

I have a copy of SeaBee zipped up as well, but it's rendered useless by the demise of the site that hosted SeaBee. Unfortunately Korvar elected to have people do a mandatory update check before the utility would launch, and since it can't run this check anymore, it won't advance to the utility. I made the tutorial to help people with the the command line switches without the benefit of SeaBee.

Hey, thanks for the vids!

About to dive into this beast again, and this was a good refresher course!
