Allies Victorious Arnhem Scenario

So the briefing says to capture the airfield north of Arnhem ASAP. I can send paratroopers there and capture it right away, but I sure can't hold it for long. So what's the trick? Any tips are much appreciated.

Re: Display Problem--lower part of display cut off

Oops. Hiding the taskbar solves the problem--of course!

Display Problem--lower part of display cut off

I've played OOB for many years with no software problems. But for some reason now the last inch or so of the display is missing, making it hard to upgrade units or to get replacement troops. This just happened recently. My system display is 1920x1080 and OOB is set to that. I've tried other settings...

That worked! I've played about 1000 hours of this series and never realized I could do all that during deployment. Many thanks.

Re: Allies Resurgent Sicily question

Deployment Stage: Paratroop put on the air base in bottom right. Turn 1: Paratroop boards plane. Plane doesn't move. Turn 2: Plane moves about 9 squares. Turn 3: Plane moves its maximum but nowhere near Ponte Olivo. Mission fails. I don't see how I can "place this unit in a proper hex". He...

Allies Resurgent Sicily question

How can Ponte Olivo be taken in 3 turns? I imagine paratroopers are involved, but I cannot figure out how to involve them so quickly from the start of the scenario. Any help much appreciated.

Tobruk: Where are the ships I need to escort?

The Tobruk scenario asks you to escort ships. But the only ships I see are destroyers. Are they the only ships? Thanks for any responses.

Why can't I upgrade transportation

I'm playing Allies Defiant, one of the desert scenarios. When I try to give my infantry transportation, I don't see any transportation options after I click Upgrade. What am I doing wrong? Many thanks for any advice.

Got New computer, but what files do I need to copy from old one?

Because the most recent patches don't display OOB in a viewable way on my old computer, I got a new one, and the graphics are great and my Steam account works fine. But my saved games didn't make it over. What sub-directory or sub-directories do I need to transfer from the old computer to the new on...

Re: Order of Battle: World War II - v8.4.1 Update

I assume when a patch comes out it overwrites previous versions? If so, how could I get access to 8.3.0?

We'll have to find a way to "embiggen" the UI for those of smaller screens in the near future! Are there any fonts in particular that you struggle with? I'm guessing the Event text is the dearest to your heart?
Aaaargh!

Re: Order of Battle: World War II - v8.4.1 Update

I hadn't played OOTB in a long time until the quarantine hit, then I got addicted to it. But then the Red Steel patch came out and made not only that DLC unplayable (because of the impossible to see images and text; see my earlier posts in this thread) ) but also all the other DLCs as well. I'm suff...

Hi,

What resolution do you use? Is it same as your monitor?

Thanks
