I had this same problem with v1.04. It did not show up on the main menu screen, but it was installed correctly. If you go to task manager and look next to sc then it does say v1.04. It must just be a minor problem with v1.04. When I installed v1.05 it did so the version number on the main menu screen.

I am wondering the samething. Some people say fall back and create a double line of defence. Well I try this and the lines hold for awhile, but the cost of me reinforcing my front line troops while trying to build units with more hitting power like tanks is almost impossible. Meanwhile the axis is building new strong units. Gaining tons of experience and tech advances. Eventually the line will succumb to the axis advance. I even build 5-8 HQ and it still is of little help. I suppose as long as you hold out until the british and americans can relieve pressure you might be have a chance, but while you wait for the allies to help the axis can conquer other minors and build up loads of military power. Its tough and if you are playing against a reasonably decent human opponent you are pretty well screwed. Thats just my experience take it for what its worth and I am sure this will start the whole debates on these topics again.

Yeah that seemed to be the problem was that one of the PBEM games I was playing was corrupting all of them. I deleted them and then had everyone resend them and now it is working fine. Hopefully it won't happen again. Hopefully we can switch these to TCP/IP games. Thanks for the advice everyone.

I have been playing PBEM games with 4 different people with no problems whatsoever for weeks. Just recently I tried to load my PBEM games and it gave me the scanning disk for PBEM files and then it wouldn't do anything else. Is it a specific PBEM that is the problem or what? This is very frustrating. Basically I am having the same problem Flashblade had in an earlier post. Oh and that was me that CVM sent the text file to and it was just a text file. Dunno what the deal with that is.

O.K. in my current PBEM game I have built a double line of corps and a few armies north to south from Leningrad all the way down. I am entrenched and my line has held for many turns it is now I believe the summer of 1942. The problem is that replacing and reinforcing this corp is costing me so much that it is slow and difficult to buy anything with some hitting power. Also he keeps rotating his front line and gaining experience that my army loses everyturn because I have to reinforce them. I have 4 HQ and my airfleets that are slightly damaged. I believe that I need to relieve pressure from the Russian front with the US and UK. Any suggestions. Oh, he also punched a hole in the line and is now able to use 3 armies to hit one corp instead of two when the line was straight. It seems to be only a matter of time before the line breaks.

Alright, I downloaded and unzipped the new patch into the sc directory and then when I go to the main menu at the start of the game the version number is not shown, so I don't know if the patch worked. I have also been trying to play PBEM games and when I send the file to my opponent they are only getting a file that is 4k or 6k in size and it is no good. One of my opponents suggested that it is because I don't have v1.04 , but I have installed it numerous times to get it to work and I swear that I am playing V1.04 yet it doesn't shown on the main menu. Please help this is driving me nutts.

I think CoS is the better of the two. Don't get me wrong SC is a good game just needs some additions that CoS had. In addition to the list above was given CoS also had 1. Winter in Russia that seriously hindered the Axis giving Russia opportunity to recover. 2. Transportation of units by sea was much more difficult hence Operation Sea Lion not so easy to accomplish among other things.

This move by the allies did happen during WWII. The allies attempted to take Norway back from the Germans. It failed for numerous reasons and should not have been tried back then let alone in the game, but at least the AI can make these kinds of attempts. I think it is nice that the AI is able to spot the holes and exploit them or at least attempt to.

I don't know if this topic has already been discussed, but I would like to see the ability to combine the attacks of several different units onto one enemy unit. I know this is a little Clash of Steelesque, but I hate having to attack with every individual unit rather than attacking with a few at the sametime. It also makes sense because this could be a coordinated attack and so many different units, say an armor unit and infantry unit can strike together. Also isn't there an option to retreat and fall back when a unit is damaged to much, why does every unit have to be destroyed to be pushed back?
