Well, I had no idea of what I was doing, but that has never held me back. :) I believe I mentioned that I found the "17h 12" entry in a data file named level12. It was a dumb idea, but I thought I would try to fix it in a text editor but of course that did not work. But then I saw someplac...

I have what I think is a solution but rather than repeat myself, please see this thread:

Add to the list: When using CTRL plus move to swap unit positions, the game dumps you out to desktop. This is version 10.0.6 and with full screen. I have to apologize somewhat for this. While I had never experienced this problem before in previous versions of OOB, a sudden inspiration prompted me t...

- Many, many text bugs: missing texts, wrong objective descriptions, wrong unit designations, typos, widespread in all DLCs. Fortunately, this last category can be addressed with a text editor program. I will settle for the lack of major bugs in this latest version. Keeping my fingers crossed; if t...

The probable location of the error is indicated in that thread. Also my "rationalization / wishful thinking" about it.

For what it's worth, an instance of "17h 12" can be found in the "level12" file (no file extension) in this folder: Image0080.jpg Guessing on the file naming number scheme, and that it's the last in the series, I would say it's a file that gets created when the developers do game...

By the way, I am among the Steam creatures these days. I access OOB and all my other games on that platform. Below are the last two news postings for OOB on Steam: Image0076.jpg That "Major Update" from last July was what created the "Force panel appearing after [every single] turn.&q...

Force panel appearing after turn fixed; It was annoying but it’s gone now :) Well. Well, well. The previous patch had an air of finality to it. When it created this issue at the last minute, to be left that way for all eternity or so I thought, I was done with OOB. But, as has happened in the past,...

I can see why their You Tube channel is popular. I watched this video first; it's rather well done.

The Tank Museum.jpg The Tank Museum in Bovington, England, doesn’t usually rank among the world’s great museums. Located next to a military base in serene countryside, the collection of around 300 armored vehicles attracts only a few hundred thousand visitors a year, mainly families on rained-out b...

Translated (roughly):

"Hello, is there an overview of updates for the console?
I can't find any patch notes for this.
Would also like to be able to play multiplayer on the console"

Hello everybody! Does the author plan to make a company after WWII in Algeria and French Indochina Vietnam ? Hmmm. Emulating that game in OOB would be a rather ambitious undertaking for two reasons: 1) It's a first-person shooter game which is not OOB-style at all. (If it was, I wouldn't be here.) ...

I yearn for the return of adherbal but our entreaties he would spurn and our hopes he would burn, the ashes to be placed in an urn next to a fern. Gosh durn it.

If we had some crater decorations these would of course already be in place :wink: Now if fixed craters were crated on-map after heavy artillery bombardment, say 100mm and up... Well, there is only one man on earth who can ask for stuff here . . . and actually get it once in a while . . . and that ...

You would be well advised to take advantage of this lidar survey of the battlefield. I doubt that you have included these "nearly 1,000 previously unknown features of the landscape, such as foxholes and bomb craters" in your scenario map. When can we look forward to an upgrade? ( :wink: ) ...

Well, I am sure that it was a tough business decision that weighed the benefits (that is, profits) to be gained from producing a Mac version of their game versus the costs (that is, personnel). This topic came up recently with a forum member who may have run into difficulties, having been unaware of...

Oh yeah, definitely. Good point, ctskelly. Got to ask that in the future. Note the opening post in the thread in which they announced the decision not to support Mac was dated 28 January 2021. That was the day they released the first Allies DLC and the patch that went with it. They put this blurb on...

One of my favorite war movies is Sahara from 1943. It stars "Humphrey Bogart as an American tank commander in Libya who, along with a handful of Allied soldiers, tries to defend an isolated well with a limited supply of water from a German Afrika Korps battalion during the Western Desert Campai...

Leaving AI prowess aside (I can tell you, though, that it is not just game engine performance but scenario design; the word I use is "choreography"), my personal preference is for valiant defense. The worse the odds, the better (up to a point). This reflects the absurdity of a namby-pamby ...
