Re: Battle Academy for Mac?
Finally got to install the latest PlayOnMac, which supports 64-bit, and am able to once again play Battle Academy (Windows install) through it. And the world is a happier place. God, I love this game.

Re: Mac version won't unzip
Thank you, yes that works. It's a different link from the one advertised on the website (both the general one and the 'my page' one). The zip file linked here is about 30Mb smaller than that, and it can be unzipped and installed. Again, thanks.

Re: Mac version won't unzip
More detail: attempting to unzip the file will cause different errors depending on the tool being used, but always fails about 15% of the way through. With betterZip, the result is an incomplete .dmg about 468Mb in size that cannot be run. In all cases, the errors seem to relate to corrupted or unsu...

Not working here either. I don't know whether this is the insult or the injury.

Re: Legacy Patch - v8.6.9 (End of Mac support)
I consider this a betrayal to the many of us, Mac users, which faithfully supported this game - and the developers team - for so long. I can't see a reason for you guys didn't care about customers' specificities, many of us even willing to pay more for the adequate version. Couldn't agree more. Utt...

Ships and Fuel
Hi Folks,
Can anyone tell me if ships actually have a supply state, a means of setting it in a scenario, and what the means of replenishing that supply state is, please?

Re: Question: Does anyone know where GetUnitLOS() lives?
Yes, thanks, but where is that function located in the code? Is it stored in a BSF file, or is it buried in the code and inaccessible? Just curious.

LOS test tool in Scenario Editor
Hi Folks,
Pardon my ignorance here, but is there a tool that I've simply missed that would allow me to test LOS between selected spaces on the map from within the editor, rather than exiting and playing the scenario?

Re: Current Bugs - Version 8.1.0
Sadly, Turn Start won't do. It has to be Move Event, for my purposes. Besides, a graphical issue is a graphical issue. I didn't say it was a terribly important one, of course. But thanks for the suggestion. Apologies if this is a known issue, however, I searched for the rather obvious title of 'repo...

Re: Adjacent Hex Movement
Indeed, I totally agree with your point. That's why I was trying to 'cheat' so to speak. It appears (and your knowledge far exceeds mine in this matter) that the roads simply act to reduce the movement points cost to a unit entering that hex by a certain percentage, a percentage that can be tinkered...

Adjacent Hex Movement
It seems like units are allowed to move into adjacent hexes regardless of the MP cost to them. That is, if one edited chassis.csv so that the cost of a particular terrain type was greater than that a unit had, they would still be able to enter that hex if they began their turn adjacent to it. Is the...

Re: River Effects
Of course, then the problem arises of pontoon bridges. Could the engineers build a pontoon bridge under those conditions that would allow the armor to cross? I'll have to try that out. The goal is to have a water obstacle that armor can only cross via bridges, but that infantry and engineers can cro...
