    Question on Naval Bombardments

    in Strategic Command 1

    Posted

    Naval units also sit on the coast for weeks at a time muching on a land unit, slowly wearing it down. This is highly unrealistic given the way that all admiralities feared air attack on capital units. The only surface bombardments that I'm aware of in WWII were during amphibious assaults, once the troops moved inland, the battleships departed.

    The answer to this would be to attack the naval unit with an Air unit. I've found that attacking ships tend to move away once they are engaged by an air fleet, or even attacked from the shore.

    Your Personal Best?

    Damn, I never thought o look at end turn MPP!

    SO far my best (with Axis) was conquering France and then immediately turning on Russia (After a quick stop at Hungary.) With Heavy Tank research I was able to cleave a nice path in before the game ended. Would have made it further if the damn Italians were not hung up in Greece.

    Diplomacy?

    Cool!

    Diplomacy?

    in Strategic Command 1

    Posted

    On an interesting political note, During my Axis campaign, there was a pro-Allied coup in ... uh ... some country or other, maybe Yugoslavia. Anyhoo, I did not rush to remedy it, and it ended up being devastating to my campaign.

    (Which was actually kinda fun.)

    Is that a random event, or a historical one?

    Is it one of the options? I guess I should pay more attention...

    Anyway, just wanted to say it was pretty cool.

    Possibly Important Comment - False game freeze

    in Strategic Command 1

    Posted

    This has already been brought up in a few other threads, but just to give it a place:

    In regards to the Main Menu...

    After you click on a choice, the game does not react until the current music is finished playing. In the NEW GAME selection, this can take a fairly loooong time. It appears that the game is locked or frozen. Not only is it a little annoying, but it may cause potential customers to believe that the DEMO is not working on their PC, when in fact it is.

    Couple of Questions

    in Strategic Command 1

    Posted

    Here are a few questions that come to mind:

    1) What determines which units are attached to an HQ? If a unit attached to an HQ is annihiliated, does another replace it?

    2) Can someone (perhaps with a screenshot) explain the exact map area that subs need to be parked in to disrupt shipping?

    3) In the FAQ it list 2 types of attacks for units. One is simply attacking, one is moving and attacking. Are there combat modifiers applied if a unit moves and then attacks, rather than simply attacking?

    Updated Demo

    Thanks Hubert, for making it a small file rather than the entire d/load again!

    Mine seems to be running completely Great on an AMD K6-2 @380 mhz, Voodoo 3, 128 mb ram, but I grabbed the fix anyway.

    I was worried I would have problems, but none so far...

    Fun and addicting game!

    Too many games get released as Beta, because of a publish on time or be damned mindset. I think a little patience here will be rewarded.

    Ditto!

    How long does it take to plot a turn?

    Lah,

    Well, it depends which side you have and period of the war it is. I have played the entire campaign and it has never taken more than about 15 minutes.

    15 minutes for ONE turn right?

    NOT 15 minutes to play out the campaign?

    :eek:

    Here is another question, probably stupid:

    Once we achieve a new level of research/tech... do our units in the field automatically become that new level, or do we have to either reinforce or buy new units to have that new tech level?

    Mr C,

    Poof! If you yell "Timeout!" very loudly, the enemy will pause hostilities long enough for all your units to upgrade simultaneously. ;) </font>
