Thanx Terif

Col. Gen Guderian - you answered HolzemFrumFloppen and indicated that these pics were indeed the graphic & icon set you were looking for: Pic 1 Pic 2 well this link http://ww2n.com/schq/gfx.htm and under "Strategic Command : Elite Edition" is in fact those graphics! The only difference is this guy changed the Unit Sprites back to another set rather than useing the Unit Sprites in this set! At least thats what is looks like to me!

Ok Terif please explain this: Example I have just invaded Norway the hex just south of Bergen with 1 Army just south of it I land Alexander and just south of him I land another Army plus a Corp just south of him. I pound Bergen's German Corp with 1 Battleship 3 CVs and 1 Strat Bomber and 3 Long Range Air and attacking with my landed Army thus leaving the defender with 1 point to defend with that turn, in effect not taking the city. But on the very next turn my supply is dramatically reduced and my HQ can not supply my troops for stronger attacks, why??? This same similar thing happens to most in Egypt! IMO mulberrys should be allowed in the game. they should either be purchased and be very expensive and restricted to just 3 for the allies(1US - 2UK). What do you think Terif???

Ok I found a solution to this problem. This is where you get the cool Sprites and Terrain: http://ww2n.com/schq/gfx.htm And here's the BMP that's not compatiable with V1.07 "main_menu_buttons.bmp" Just rename this file in your BITMAPS folder to something else. Move your new BMP's in then rename the "main_menu_buttons.bmp" back! Don't forget to delete the new "main_menu_buttons.bmp" out before you rename your old one back otherwise you get a stupid annoying message like its already there dum dum! Unless you want to see that message...lol Although I do not like the new Units sprites provided with this mod and have chosen to use Garfiken's Unit Sprites, you can mix and match as you see fit. Have fun Gentlemen and make WAR when ever possible!

In this new addition to SC2 will we be able to edit the Siberian Transfer or will it already be more realstic than it's current state in classic SC?

Mr Rambo, we never did finish any of our games did we, hmmmm?

Curry most of your email address on this list are no longer there, do you have updated version?

I have not played SC PBEM or Online in almost 7 months, I went to where we use to post for players and no response, what gives? I have not played in a long time so I know im gonna suck but wheres all the players gone? Is it cuz SC2 is about to come out and nobody wants to play SC Classic anymore?

Here's my 2cents worth..... Paratroopers when dropped should maintain supply for 2 turns after which supply rules are then in affect also they should act like like Russia partisans (ie..cutting enemy supply lines)giving the unit more than this ability in my opinion would be wrong. To determine exact and fair strengths of Paratroop units will be difficult since the US, UK & Germany were the only countries to have comprised large units of Paratroopers that engaged in combat. Poland and a few other countries had similar smaller sized paratroop units but never on a large scale as the US or Germany. I think it will be intresting to see how Hubert will handle this type of unit in the game!

Hello Gentlmen, If a winter war option is included, how will this affect game balance. This type of option would have to allow German forces to freely stage within Finland as long as they were within the German sphere of influence but also would provide for I believe a very serious impact upon the game play balance. This thread is very intresting to me because I have thought many-oh-times about why the Finish winter war had not been included before.

Standard settings are this; Siberian War = OFF Politics = RANDOM FOW = ON Thats been the Norm for awhile now, I do not play any other way!

Fair enough, Good Luck to you on this!

If I may ask Zapp but have you read all the previous threads on this very subject of starting or creating a Head 2 Head League??

Archibald As always excellent and well done! Thank you for your write up on your experience of How to Defend against Operation Sea-Lion. It's always good to have insight on a particular situation before it happens to ones self. I myself respect the fact you have fought the Good fight and want to share in the fruits of your labour. Defensive survival of UK is the #1 priority for the UK regardless of whether Operation Sea-Lion occurs or not! Everyone should take heed your words of Wisdom here good Sir! 6 Quick Questions Sir: #1 Was your British navy gathered near the Isle before "Sea-Lion" took place or was it spread out? #2 How soon was the Attack on UK after the fall of France(what was the date also if you remember?)? #3 How much did you commit to the Defense of France of British troops? #4 Did you have any troops in Canada? #5 What was left in Egypt to defend with? #6 What Tech if any had you spent to this point for UK?

Ties and Disputes IMO they allow for discussion when it should a be open and shut case! Ties lead to disputes and disputes lead to debates that can go on and on! Ranking Problem here is if you allow everyone to choose there own ranking then everyone is #1 hence the many references by members on this Forum already! If no one objects I can start this by drawing up guidlines and then email a select few that I hold to be good objective members of SC where they can pick it to apart, unless someone objects then I will start tonight? I await the responses..... [ January 13, 2003, 10:26 PM: Message edited by: 82ndReady ]

Immer, How about nominating possible canidates to head this project, then comprise the list, create a new thread for voting and see where it ends up at? I nominate you Immer to be apart of this project. [ January 13, 2003, 05:22 PM: Message edited by: 82ndReady ]

Sea-wolf I to saw it in the Mag "World War II" but it was advertising CMBB back in 2000. I had to have that one so I bought it and played it a bit, then it died away onto my shelfs. Then one day I happened upon another add for CMBB with a different website name ...hmmm I though maybe they have more to offer so I went to it and was amazed to find "SC" and this was about to be released to the public so I downloaded the Demo and was hooked from then on. Battlefront does have the best games and because of that i'm back to playing CMBB after all this time although I had to dust off my CD and of course it still worked.....mutter...mutter..oh ya SC Topic why cant you guys keep to the TOPIC????

Ok Immer here are my thoughts on these questions 1) What format? Tournaments, League, Ladder or something other? Answer = "League" IMHO promotes continuous competition 2) What ratings system? Numerical, ie 1-100, or Military, ie Private to General, or... ? Answer = "Numerical" as I have mentioned before each member should show there Experience at SC and game rating overall. 3) What game scenario? Original? Mod? Answer = "1939 Fall Weiss Campaign" although Bill Macons adjustment to this campaign is a one to consider. 4) How much time allowed for each game? A week? 10 days? Answer = "14 days no more no less from start of playing. This I believe is a good amount of time to complete a challenge. 5) What rules should be enacted (... and enforced)? Answer = Guidelines should be outlined then agreed upon by a select few that would head this project and not by the entire group(IMHO this would drag out into i'm sure good debates but not really worth the problem!). 6) How to settle disputes? Answer = Again whomever sets the Guidelines will outline how it shall be dealt with. Im willing to offer site space IP address and my talents in this matter, thanks.

Ok JIM Another good question, here's what happens.... Example Image #5 And after Reinforement heres the result... Example Image #6 [ January 11, 2003, 01:43 AM: Message edited by: 82ndReady ]

Mr. Boggs Good question, heres what you see.... Example Image #4 I started a new campaign to get this, so it happens everytime for this one....I wonder if it happens in Fall Weiss 1939 campaign ???? [ January 11, 2003, 12:20 AM: Message edited by: 82ndReady ]

Andrew What your speaking of is the Sprite.bmp which has nothing to do with the strength of the unit. Thanks though.

Hubert, I found this problem playing against the AI as the ALLIED player in the 1941 Barbarossa campaign. Pay attention to the Russian naval unit in the images. Example Image #1 Example Image #2 Example Image #3 As you can see theres a problem.
