  1. Complete shutdown of TAW; Korea when retreat button is pushed with battle of Pusan. Play American forces; Campaign US Counteroffensive. Third Battle America forces attack North Korea in Pusan area. ( After retreat button you get retreat screen and after pushing'continue' button Defeat screen appears> move back to the strategic map but TOW; Korea shuts down completely and go back to Windows desktop.
  2. Im playing US in battle On the Way to Tebessa. the German Power is extremly strong and I cannot even win in Novice mode. what's the best strategy to win this battle?
  3. I remember playing with Airfix armies playing battles for hours and hours when I was a kid more then 40 years ago.. TAW2 bring back those great memories. With a 30 inch screenplay in 2500x1600 resolution, the views are astonishing.
  4. Yes, it is always easy to comment badly on a game.. The gameindustry has exceeded the movie industry long ago but has shifted their game perspective. Twenty years ago or so, there were many simulation games on the shelfspace in retail and many on the horizon. Now it’s a dessert with a few oasis’s.. But I’m not complaining. This game is immersive overwhelming for newcomers in this genre but take time to learn and be patience. It takes true vision, dedication and leadership to build an simulation and push it to this level. As I wrote already and I will say again; IMHO, with almost every military simulation played over the last 35 years, to me; TAW2 is a masterpiece.
  5. The details are astonishing.. Artillery crews that look around when they are in rest or pushing the artillery to a new place. Tank crew jumping out of a severe damaged tank, taking cover. Platoon of soldiers taking cover in a open field. Etc etc. Amazing. What a great joy it is to play this game. When commanding the troops in setup phase, you literally can look on the same level like soldiers, artillery or tanks are viewing the area. This feature is crucial for despatching your troops in the field.. Micromanagement every soldier giving him direct specific orders. and what I like are the loooong battles.. if you think you are there, forget about it.. new enemy is approaching. there is always a catch. C1, please give us more troops to command.. :-)  
  6. C1 Company, I follow this game since Codemaster announced it long time ago and playing TAW2 for quite some time now, I can say that this simulation belongs in my top 3 games ever since I played PONG.. Yes, it's not perfect but nor am I. Im giving TAW2 my personal 'Best Game in 35 Years' Award. And let me tell you, that is quite some achievement.. with 35 years of solid gaming, I have played it all.. Being a Blue Ocean Strategist in real life, I admire the dedication, strong believe and focus to build this game that is not mainstream genre and only for a Niche market. This game is so detailed it scary. Playing hours after hours without saving it gives you a good feeling what it's like to command a battalion. It's one of a kind. Well done C1 company. Im very curious what will be next.. bigger battles with more troops I hope.. Want to be able to command with troops that support an General command.. I know, I know, CPU issues.. But with SSD and more multicore CPU's.. maybe in couple of years? regards A big fan.
  7. today I played the battle again and again and again. Honestly; played scenario at least 20 times. On Medium difficulty setting is a absolute no go. This scenario is not realistic if you need to win. 20X german tanks are just to much. a real shame..
  8. txs for your reply (I was aware of this) but any headsup on my question??
  9. Like most of us, played all strategy games. but this this is Mother of all strategy games!
  10. Save every 5 minutes can't be the solution.. My 2 reinforcements are blown to pieces and nothing stays alive, unbelievable!
  11. Im fighting and fighting, but the German tanks are overwhelming.. Destroying 15 tanks but still 8 remain.. tried serval tactics; waiting in country slopes, behind train stations claw strategy, hold ground strategy, concealment strategy.. nothing works. My soldiers are shot down if they heroicly sprint towards the enemy tanks. any ideas, fellow generals?
