Scenarios

[jeffk3510]

I reinstalled this game on my computer, and have the latest patch....

Why is it that only 3 scenarios show up? Instead of the 5 or so from the previous time I had this game installed....

I don't have the list of patches available at the moment, but it seems possible that the most recent patch was supposed to be installed over a previous patch, not directly over the the game as installed from CD/download.

At one point Matrix updated the gold master, so that new copies of FOF would be "patched up" to a certain point, after which I believe we released only one more patch. How old is your copy?

Or, I guess it's always possible that you have a corrupt download, which does sometimes happen.

Gil- must have been corrupt, just re-downloaded, and it is fine now.

I think this is MIGHTY fine game... but I don't like how the detailed combat plays out....I was a HUGE fan of CWG2...I would love to see that format for the battles, and no pre picked of what brigades I HAVE to move....Oh well, still ok none the less.

Glad it's working, and that you're enjoying the game.

And I'm pleased to report that in "Brother against Brother," the new tactical-only game that we're creating from a greatly modified version of this engine, YOU are the one who clicks on units in whatever order you prefer.

I remember when they were talking about a CWG3 and everyone wanted a real time battle... when I play SMG with A LOT of units, its so tough to coordinate and execute my plan effeciently, that is why a turn bases like FOF and CWG is great, I am just tied to CWG2, looking forward to Brother against Brother though... thanks.

Any tips for the detailed battle on FOF? I just let the comp do it because I get so frustrated....

There are are probably a lot of tips to be found in the War Room sub-forum. Also, look for some of Hard Sarge's old OOB's, which might help. Those will be more useful than anything I might think of off the top of my head.
