Is there any way to turn off the auto-end? It doesn't happen very often, but I'd love to be able to invade the US after achieving a total victory in Europe.

Interesting timing... Graf Zeppelin Found

Nice read. Also FWIW, I think an extra 0 might have slipped into the minimum machine specs. To my knowledge Intel never produced an 8 GHz PIII. Thanks for the link.

Those screens look sharp with the graphic inlays. Very nice job.

Yep. I don't get this obsession with post count. If the mere quantity of discourse truly represented the quality of thought, then the United Nations would be hailed as the only organization on the planet with greater insight and effectiveness than the Unites States Congress.

Jersey - You've been around here long enough to know that this forum is and perhaps always has been blessed with an overabundance of sanctimony.

There is a lot to like in this mod, but am I the only one who finds Africa to be overly large when the continent played such a small role in the war? Sure the mercator projection has its drawbacks, but in my mind it works especially well in modeling a conflict that happened primarily in the northern hemisphere.

In a forum about a WWII game, it is rather shocking to hear you say that France wins anything at all actually.

Wouldn't it be neat if tiles (including sea tiles and including convoy attacks) were overlayed with a red hue to indicate where battles where fought in the last turn. It would give a since of where the action was and it would eliminate having to look at lists of coordinates to find where your convoys are getting hit. If you REALLY want to get fancy, then hold on to the list for a couple of turns and make the overlay color for 1 turn ago light orange and 2 turns ago yellow to show action over time. Finally, make the whole system configurable so people can select no shading, last turn only or last 3 turns.

Yep. Nietzsche was obviously German, so the quote is actually: So the literal translation would be: Anything beyond that is simply poetic license of the translator. EDIT: For whatever it is worth, DD's translation appears to be closer to original text. [ July 02, 2006, 09:25 AM: Message edited by: John C ]

How is it coming and any thoughts on when it might be posted?

While there are solutions, the game was intended as a highly flexible and configurable engine and there are many instances where it would be beneficial to have more than 6 majors. I still hope that a patch expands the number of majors at some point in keeping with that vision.

This won't win any art awards, but it can be a quick and easy stand-in until you get something decent. DOWNLOAD LINK

OK. Link to updated file now included in original post (top of this page).

Thanks, that would be great. Please send it to forward at chastain dot us
