Can someone explain the arithmetic to me in the calculations shown by the tooltips on the top left? For example mine currently shows: 29 next to the coin symbol Tooltip: 7 (+98) Variations during past turn: Initial amount :2 Changes from cities income: 98 Changes from units replacements: -32 Changes...

I guess that's another reason to avoid Windows 10 if possible. I generally install new games in a new directory, not whatever the default is, and set compatibility to Windows 7. I'm not technical enough to have a clue really to help you I'm afraid. My local computer shop is selling a re-furbished To...

I have no problems with any of the Ageod games on my Windows 10 laptop. Your problem with the opt file was that you possibly saved it as a txt file after the change. Notepad did this to me until I noticed it. My issue with Ageod games, and think I have nearly all of them, is that I don't have enough...

I just got a minor victory after capturing Spartacus in March -70. But on very easy settings.

I found a reference to Bish Iwaszko who I played modern wargames with - he was something of a guru in London in 1968:

Well done.

The Puritans don't like Christmas so that should make them even more miserable.

Are command ratings based on post war analysis or what was perceived before the event? For example: Smith might have a bad reputation so I give him a minor job but he turns out to be brilliant; Jones is highly regarded so I put him in charge of an army but he turns out to be useless - e.g. freezes u...

It works even if you haven't upgraded?

Perhaps I'll change mine to say version 3.1 April 1st 2021

I have just updated my version of "The Operational Art of War" - there are over 500 user made scenarios so it is no wonder it has become one of the most esteemed war games. I've always felt Ageod missed a trick by making it so hard to alter things or make new scenarios. If a fraction of th...

As probably the only person who plays this game, and even then only occasionally, I've fired it up for a couple of short scenarios. There is an AAR by someone on the Matrix site which covers the Moltke plan of Russia first which is unusual and which caught my eye. I've also played the Paradox game V...

By coincidence I have my copy of Paradox's version of Diplomacy to hand wondering whether to re install it just to remind myself what an awful mess they made of such a well known game. It has cartoonish characters with animal names making grunting sounds from which you are supposed to judge whether ...

I have EU1 - but still haven't read the manual all the way through.

Recently got For The Glory - a sort of EU2 on steroids.

There's so much history in these games - thanks for all that Phil - I wish I could get more people interested in them.

Try the earlier Napoleon's Campaigns. Less than a £/$/€ (used) on Amazon in UK a few minutes ago and you get a paper manual.

Here's an AAR albeit some pictures don't work now: viewtopic.php?f=138&t=7475

Well I just played the Gettysburg scenario - albeit on AACW 1.06 - and got a glorious victory as the confederates by occupying Washington rather than Gettysburg having feinted a rush to get those mythical shoes.

I've just played the invasion of England scenario for the first time. I got ashore but was defeated outside London.

Good fun - definitely worth a few dollars.

I thought I would fire WON up again and I noticed on my 1.02 new game listing there are two called:

"StrFinland1808DispName" and "StrBorodino1812DispName"

Have I got an unfinished patch or what? There's no description but they start up with some forces allocated.

I visited this in about 1968. Random idling on Wikipedia led me to this - via Mission 66.

Time to play the Gettysburg scenario from CW2 and AACW again.

About £2 for a used boxed copy with manual on Amazon near me. I think the latest patches can be downloaded still. I've long had doubts about digital only games and used to nearly always buy a boxed copy but they are not always offered now. File note: remember to copy the download files for new games...

I have found the Cantabrain War DLC to be a nasty business for Rome. Brutal terrain, too few troops with too many missions coupled with a potentially deadly opponent. It is cheap to buy and offers some really challenging asymmetrical warfare experience. That said, the entire franchise is worth play...

Oh come on, you'll only go and bankrupt yourselves with another Darien scheme or somesuch. It's not as if those Scottish banks haven't caused enough trouble already. How long before the begging bowl is out again? :) I think your time would be much better spent re-doing those AARs with Narwhal that a...

It can't be too hard to get it to display the correct version number can it? Looking in the credits mine still says version 1.0; even though the patch installer said installation successful. God I'm glad you guys don't program avionics; or do you?
