Hi everyone. I played half of the 1940 campaign and I enjoy a lot this game. Better than Strategic Command on the grand strategic and operational levels. I have some questions : - Is it possible to loose a naval unit inside a transport loop (ex.: German naval unit between Baltic and North seas in 19...

First, let me say that I'm currently reading the manual and find there are a lot of interesting things in CEAW Grand Strategy. I also appreciate that the game is available on Mac and in multiple languages. :) One way is to rename your CEAW Grand Strategy folder in ~/Documents to something like "0_FR...

How can I change the language of the game? I'm now in French, but the translation is too bad, so I would like to get back to English.

J'ai fait un tableau qui résume ce qui me paraît être l'essentiel. Il fait partie d'un article de conseils paru dans le dernier numéro de PC4War (numéro 45), dont on peut voir la maquette ici (http://www.net4war.com/pc4war/numeros/p ... .htm#field).

Well, I don't know how, but after some trials (and the reboot of the computer), the game now open and I can play.

After you've copied and pasted the error message, follow the instructions in this thread: http://www.slitherine.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=17446 And then try entering your serials again. I did enter again the serial numbers, and the game accepted it, but the game still refuse to launch, giving the f...

Please can you try opening the game again, and copy and paste the entire error message to the forum? This should help us to fix the bug. Here it is : NullPointerException 1.3.2 2010 07 27 os x {} RaiseNilObjectException uiplayer.gl.GLBigPicture.Constructor o uiplayer.gl.GLBigPicture o Picture o Pic...

I bought a new laptop (MacBook Pro) and transfered FoG and all extensions on it from my old computer. When I first open the game, it ask all the serial numbers. The game accept my three extensions serial numbers, but not the main game serial number. Then the game doesn't want to launch (Null pointer...

Great !

Is it possible to buy the Mac version on Matrix web site, as I did for the PC version ?
As a Canadian, it would be better to avoid the pound-dollar conversion.

This could be my last question : in the DAG, I can see some special abbreviations like "PD" for "portable defence".

I know that the "S" is about dismountable mounted troops (at least). But what does that "S" means ?

I don't know what the "M" means either.

Did you apply for the beta test? If so you will have been mailed the details. No. If not, apply now and we'll see if we can add you but it wont be for at least another week and it may be over by then! :) Well, I'll wait and buy the Mac version, so I will be able to fight against myself with my own ...

Looks like someone already took you up on your proposal. Well, the games have simply disappeared. I created again two challenges (password moet ) with the same rules : - Swiss pikemen 400pts game : come to fight those Swiss with an army composed of the maximum number of Macedonian pikemen and just ...

There is one cohesion test rule that says :

+1 if there are adjacent friends other than light foot or light horse in their rear

I wonder if this applies only to an adjacent friend unit or to any friend unit located in the rear arc (even at 5 hex, for example).

I think you're right. I was confused because I mixed the prediction and the results information (on old printscreens).

Then it is the very "average" prediction of the number of hits. The real results can vary in a large range around that prediction.

Where do wet get the beta Mac ?

OK I see : viewtopic.php?t=17176

Think I'm a bit too late...

I could post the screens here if the results are interesting.

At the bottom of the screen, before an attack, we can see a quite detailed situation (P key) about the combat. For example, I can see a unit having : POA=1, die rolls=4, E(hits)=1,333333 fighting a unit having : POA=2, die rolls=2, E(hits)=1 Could someone tell me exactly what that "E(hits)" is made ...

Let's get into a game ! (see above).

I'm doing an analysis of FoG combat mechanism for the French magazine PC4War ( http://www.net4war.com/pc4war/kiosque.htm ). I would like to oppose Swiss pikemen to Macedonian pikemen in a straight frontal line combat just to see what happens ( and take printcreens ). I would do the same with Swedish...
