? I never heard of it? from where

1943 The Turkish Option I created a campaign on the basis of the Russin "Southern Front" Early in 1943 the German High Command realizes it may never regain the inicative on the Russin Front, that, combined with the possible up comming allied invasion of Italy, promts the High Command to send agents and diplomats to Turkey. After months of talks and clandestine operations, the Turks are convinced that after Russia's war with Germany is over, the USSR will invade Turkey and make it part of the growing communist empire. The Turks agree, however reluctintly, to allow German troops to pass through it's border, and to enter the war itself agaisnt the USSR. Meanwhile, across europe, Hitler decides to resume talks with Spanish Dictator Fransisco Franco. He tell's the spanish tyrannt of reports that the Allies will invade Italy to remove it's Dictator and knock it out of the war. Franco is showed evidence of American and British OSS operations to prepare for the removale of the Italian government. Hitler tells Franco that if the German and Italian Goverernments are defeated, it is certain the Allies will remove him as well in due time. Franco see's no choice and declares war on the western allies. Spanish Forces, with small help from thier new German Allies, prepar to attack The rock of Gibralter... Two months before the Turkish make thier surprise entry into the war, the British march into Iraq and declare it's oil fields part of the British Empire until further notice. Two German Corps, secretly marched across Turkey prior to the declaration of war, sit on the border poised to invade Iraq, meanwhile a Turkish army, two corps, and a half strength Italian volunteer corps. are aimed at the Soviet Union's vunerable and priceless southern industrial heartland, the Soviet Second Front is about to open... I test ran this campaign a few times and all seems to work out ok, it may seem slightly unbalanced in favor of the Axis but I gave Ireland to england as well as Iraq, although Iraq will be fought over, and the Allies present historical advantage in MPPs makes everything run pretty smoothly. It's a very interesting fight in southern russia and interesting to see how much of a force the soviet's will commit to stall the attack, but still be able to drive the German's Back.

Ok, I have patch 1.7 and have had it since it came it, I read all the read-mes with the game, but here is the problem with them, they tell you what you need to do, change the ports over and what-not, but NOT how to do it exactly. I'm not a very big computer person when it comes to tech stuff, I posted on another forum and copy-pasted what is in the how-to and asked how to do it, and got an answer. Everything seems to work ok now, but Mr. H may I suggest in your next SC game/patch or even on the site, provide more detailed instructions on how to fix the problem with cable and everything will be fine thanks for your quick response

Turns out our PBEM games don't even work. I'm really pissed SC doesn't come with more support for Cable users, like me and my freind both are, There has to litteraly be millions of people using cable and growing, and we can't even play a simple game? How come just because I have a faster internet connection, I can't play one of the lowest requirment games out? Looks like even though I have enjoyed playing vs the AI all these months, SC is being a waste. sad

OK now he tried hosting and sending, when I get the file and download it to my PBEM file, it doesn't show up in the PBEM load list in-game, and the file itself in the PBEM folder say's PBEM.sav.txt and comes up in notepad with all crazy characters and letters etc. I don't see what we are doing wrong, atleast on my end I'm 95% sure i'm doing everything right, If not then it is overly complicated and not explained because I have followed directions exactly... I'm very very disapointed that SC has little support for Cable users trying to play an IP game, and even more upset that a simple PBEM game goes haywire. If I can't play with my friends without them comming to my house, then I don't know why I have this game.

My freind and I tried to play a PBEM game, but after i sent him the first turn file, he get's this error message: ERROR!: Unreadable File - No Network any ideas?

Hmmm ok thanks though, anyone know exactly what I have to do with exactly what file? It really really sux that I can't play my freind

I've been playing SC for a long time now, and some time ago I decided to start playing vs. players I found around the forum's and other places on the internet, but I could never get it to work. I brought it here and was told that because I had a cable modem, it wouldn't work. But I really really think thier must be a way to do it or else what is the point of the game having the option if not everyone can use it?

WOW coolness

I brought this topic up a few months ago. It got shot down for various reasons but I would still love to see it and don't really see why it wouldn't work.

I like this idea.

I've tried it a few times but with no real success. By that time in the war there was really nothing germany could do to turn the tide back. With all the fronts, you whind up using all of your MPPs just to reenforce hurt units and can never really build any new force to counter attack, so basicly they start off with more units, more MPPs, and attacking you on 3 fronts.

Love the idea. Two thumbs up

What would happen, let's say, if the unit stacked with the HQ moves outside of the HQ's range while stacked, or the HQ is destroyed/moved while the unit is stacked?

Since the other topic was locked for god only know's why, It doesn't look like SuperPower... IT IS superpower! I have superpower and the screenshots are exactly the same, only with Gobal Power on them. I looked at every one of them and they look exactly alike, even the starting date in the corner is the same... anyone know what they changed? I hope alot SuperPower was buggy and Boring after some time.

Not a bad idea

The carrier's are hard to lure into a position where they can be hit really hard, mostly because of thier range compared to normal navel unit's. I think a combo of a quick sub suicide mission and land based air attack's could work though

I think russia would be the biggest problem with the game's limitations. But i would love to see a 1943 scn. like you are talking about. I also agree it would be one sided though, germany was poping out new technology at break-neck pace pretty much, imagine what they would have had with those extra 3 years of peace?

Iron hit it right on the head :0) It was spain, I didn't attack yugo or the balkin's before the coup etc. Thanks. I won the war anyway, Spain just about made up for them I guess.

I'm playing a game as Axis and Russia and the US just came into the war and only Finland has joined up! It's interesting to fight in russia without Romania etc.

Yeah i would love to be in.

Yeah me too but I do not know the history of what happened in Real Life after France was liberated.

Exactly, It's obvious that most of you defencsive troops will be killed so save the armies,tanks,and air. But you have to put something in front of them, the terrian sure isn't gonna keep them from moscow.

Iron, I know the feeling of just getting to frustrated and giving up on that part of the game lol. Terrif, I had that mine well defended, I never ever give up MPPs without a big fight. I won't totally wreck myself trying to save 1 mine but I found retreating and forming a defence farther back just let's him have more MPPs for longer and you less for longer, which to me makes no sense. I think part of the key is that you have to make as much MPPs as possible, if you are still out producing him, you will slowly close the gap even if you are losing more unit's. In one of my games I didn't really put any new unit's in the firs set of cities that the Axis would reach in Russia but tried to form a defence line farther into russia. Even though i had a solid line with no holes, it didn't work. He broke through after a while and I could only plug up so much. My strat is to defend everything and keep getting those MPPs for as many extra turns as you can. It really adds up after a while.

Well it's offically over Nothing really amazing after my landing behind the lines in France. I took a Soviet group into the balkins and knocked all of them outta the war then just crushed Germany. Italy fell shortly after. Greatest game ever, I thought for sure i was finished.
