Does anyone know what Tizard_Mission in specialisations.csv is :?: It's not listed in the spec files and the US "nuclear_bomb" spec (which has the "Tizard_Mission" spec as requirement, too) works without it in the Pacific DLC; so my guess would be some leftover code from a spec that was planned but...

Well, this British 8-strength S-class sub (on lend-lease to the Danes) managed to sink an unfortunate German 10-strength infantry seatransport with just one salvo from its deck-gun. Was the German seatransport unit recently embarked? If so, I thought that the "Embarkation Vulnerability" bug was fix...

Sorry if this question may sound redundant, but when creating a campaign completely from scratch with the editor, do the specs with the "main" factions work okay?

i've been testing windows since NT4, so hopefully i know a thing or 2

Yeah, that was the first "stable" Windows system I've encountered in those (ancient ) times, too.
But I've become somewhat (more) lazy with age. Never change a running system...

I don't think it will help, because the problem is with the OoB. I expect you to be very happy with your new screen (cursed or not ;)) because newer games and all other Windows use should be so much more enjoyable. :D Thanks, and to be honest, I'm happy already ! :D I said "no rush", but with three...

But no problem, Italian volunteers '43 are available from 43 A.D.

Okay, but wouldn't something like "Roman peasants" be more appropriate then?

:D Above all, the increased screen size was my first motivation for buying the 43" piece. The 4K I've considered an "extra". I'm already at the 200% DPI setting, which even looks a bit weird with Windows itself, some menus being kind of unreadable (with older programs/software). So I'm already consi...

But isn't this (UI scaling) the kind of thing the game itself either offers (=Battletech) or does not (=OoB)? I didn't test any other games besides those two yet, it's a brand new setup for me. There was no problem with BattleTech, just had to change the resolution settings and decrease the quality...

Thanks, I just downloaded it this week, didn't realize I needed to update. You're probably not using a Steam version then. The whole download system with the Matrix/Slitherine sites is a bit complicated, I give you that. There, you'll have to download a small file supposedly containing the new DLC,...

It is the Curse of the Large Screen TV (Monitor)!

Curse or no curse, after I've witnessed today how beautiful BattleTech looks like in 4K, I'll never ever gonna go back to "simple" HD...

Playing this in 1 player mode. Mid way thru the campaign-scenario it adds that you need to kill 6 Allied units. After that I killed everyone that I could find, at least 8 or 9 and it only credited me with one kill. At the end of the time limit it said I was defeated. What did I do wrong or is this ...

I see. Thanks, Zak. Actually I didn't expect 4K to work at all with my old Win7 rig with 60Hz. Therefore the pleasant surprise. I wanted to keep it at 1080p at first, even with the monitor supporting 4K. But then... :D the issue for me is your trying to couple the latest display technology while try...

And the combat preview:

The game as such runs okay, no problems I could see so far. But It looks weird:

I've just installed my new 4K "monitor", rather a huge TV, and surprisingly the installation with Win7 went rather smooth. So from now on I'm playing at 3840x2160/60Hz/4:4:4. :shock: 8) :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Although my whole Windows is scaled at 200% (ppi) due to my rather poor eyesight. :oops: But w...

NEW unit = Italisches Freiwillige :

I guess they are supposed to be Italians fighting for Germany? Then it's "Italienische Freiwillige".

But I'm no geography or history expert, maybe there was another "Ital" country out there somewhere then...

Did the devs correct the problem with the cavalry ? I KNEW you would ask that. :lol: Not fixed yet, but it's logged as "Cavalry units - "Pick up their rifles" bug" bug. :D And when I put it in, I explicitly mentioned in the bug report that fixing this bug would make you really happy :wink: Sorry, d...

I guess (haven't try it yet) that with the Variable feature you could get the bonuses from one scenario to other ("if you destroy X planes in this mission as asked in a secondary objetive, the enemy will have a weaker aireforce in the final battle", etc...) although I'm not sure if could place "pin...

When I think how ppl like to deploy several pieces of heavy arty I'm beginning to wonder if the bigger calibers (like, say above 120-150mm and above) of towed guns should get slightly higher CP requirements. A simple +1 would mean deploying 3 K18 (or comparable non-German guns) would cost people on...

I can confirm it. You only get the normal -7 reduction of the enemy fortification level - the promised additional +2 is missing. I'm not familiar with the editor, so I tried it with the real thing (in this case the Kursk scenario). Nevertheless, should be ok, yes? Thank you, Cool! Yes, that's okay ...
