Thanks for the detailed reply, Bartbert....that was very helpful....I appreciate you taking time to help a feeble newbie...! Basilhare

I dont know what I mean either...there is a hidden "picture" beside the campaign map....I assume that unreveiled infomration/picture/whatever has the controls to set up and execute the battles pictured on the campaign map....thanks....basilhare

Is anyone having trouble with the Camapign "Display? Evidently my browser or something else is effecting the display to the left of the campaign map, during play...I assume that there should be some information on how to set up and execute battles generated from the campiagn map, but there is no way for me to set up/execute these..." "Which campaign?" Flying Tigers Thanks for the reply....basilhare

Just bought the game yesterday...enjoying it but I would like to ask a few rookie questions about DIF...I have read over the helps, overview and newbie tips posted but am still unclear on some points.... 1.Campaigns: A.I assume you can only set up and play campaigns online, even if you just want to play solo? B. Is anyone having trouble with the Camapign Display? Evidently my browser or something else is effecting the display to the left of the campaign map, during play...I assume that there should be some information on how to set up and execute battles generated from the campiagn map, but there is no way for me to set up/execute these... 2. Discards: A. Im not exactly sure what effect discards have on card draw....do you get an extra draw for each card you discard? B. I am sometimes prompted to discard when diving...I thought you only discarded for climbing? What am I missing? 3. Bursts: A. I do not understand the concept of the burst rating and how that effects gunnery....is this based on theortical firepower of the aircraft or ammo or both? B. So you have to have a certain number of bursts available to use a gunnery card? 4. Is it common to get the &*%$ beat out of you for the first dozen/score/hundreds/thousands or so games? I am getting whacked every game by the AI! I am afraid to even get online to play...I would be humiliated! 5. Fatigue: A. Does getting shot down or damaged add even more to your fatigue level? B. Is there anyway to rest your Pilots other than to fly missions? All of my Pilots are heavily fatigued and have heavy minuses - no fresh ones left! Thnaks in advance for your answers...

Agreed...."Give us Choices" is all Im asking....why cant we have both? If the 5 year old Operational Art of War engine can give us a choice of Man/Tank Icons or symbols, why can't a state of the art PC wargame do both as well? Each to his own....I find that the man/tank icons detract from the game....I can certainly live with them if need be, but why not have both? I really don't want to have to go in and make changes with mods and all.....Im just saying it would be nice if the game came with this feature.... Happy Gaming...

Actually, I have not seen a definitive answer to this question...I realize that it is modable but I was wondering if there would be a straightforward option to select a simple "X" for infantry, "oval" for armor, etc....it's not a huge deal but I prefer the miltary symbols to the icons... Happy Gaming....

Maybe this has already been addressed, though I did not see it..... Will there be an option to use Military Symbols rather than the silly man/tank icons??? Thanks....

Yes, I would....e-mail me...I sent you a private e-mail this morning. thanks....

Looking forward to Strategic Command.....looks great....will it support PBEM? Thanks Battlefront....you guys are about the last holdouts for us old wargame grognards.... As a side note there is an excellent homegrown Grand Strategic WWII ETO scenario for "The Operational Art of War/Century of Warfare" system available called Europe Aflame....go to warfarehq.com for more info.... Happy Gaming....
