Me, too. You also have to pay customs duties when shipping the item to Europe. Unfortunately, there's no "download only" pre-order.

I would also pay money for an engine update to the old SC2 titles, but I think it would be easier for Hubert to include the classic "Fall Weiss" Scenario with its big Europe map in "SC - Global Conflict" in a future patch/addon.

I hope that the game will also include a campaign with the traditional big Europe map from Weapons and Warfare or at least give us the opportunity to import the Fall Weiss Scenario/Map form WaW. Since I purchased and enjoyed all SC-Games so far, "Global Conflict" will be the game of the year 2010 for me.

What about a game like "SC2 Blitzkrieg Gold" with the latest SC engine, offering the scenarios and improvements of both add-ons in one game. That would be a fine product.

Is there any chance that you add the new decision events from PDE also to WaW in the patch 1.04? Is this technically possible?

That's true. I've played the Storm of Steel scenario with axis. Even though I conquered France, Spain, North Africa and Iraq, I've got a lot of problems in the USSR, since they seem have tons of resources in late 1942. So, I'm going back to Fall Weiss of WaW, since this scenario is much more balanced for the axis.

Thanks for the answers.

Did you play the full version of the game? If so, does the US produce much more MPP than in the WaW addon?

Hello, I recently downloaded the demo of 'Patton Drives East', even though I'm not interested in the "East vs. West" scenarios. However, I was surprised: the new 'Storm of Steel' scenario is very interesting, offering the player much more options than the original Fall Weiss scenario. Nevertheless, before I decide to purchase this expansion, please answer the following questions: 1. Storm of Steel Scenario The USA is much bigger here than the USA in the 'Weapons and Warfare' Add-on. Thus, I want to know how many MPP (military production points) will the USA generate in the Storm of Steel scenario with 100% readiness and no industrial technology research? In WaW, the USA generates 160 MPP. The US should not be able to produce more MPP in the Storm of Steel scenario, since this would destroy game balance in my opinion. 2. Fall Weiss Is there any chance, that you will add the classic Fall Weiss scenario to the 'Patton Drives East Expansion' as well in a future patch? I would love to see this classic scenario with the improved AI and the new Decision system. Thanks. Frank [ May 22, 2008, 03:02 AM: Message edited by: Franky-Boy ]

Done.

Can someone please look at this "Benelux Bug", which appears in WaW: Today, I destroyed the corps in Bruxelles (Fall Weiss Scenario), but did not take it. The next round, the Allied AI buying and placing a corps there. The following round, I could not attack this corps with any of my surrounding units. This corps seems to be some kind of invincible. Thanks.

I had the same problem today with SC2:WaW. I destroyed the corps in Bruxelles, but did not take it. The next round, the Allied AI buying and placing a corps there. The following round, I could not attack this corps with any of my surrounding units. This seems to be a bug also in WaW.

By the way: why can't I pre-order only the download-version of the game? If I pre-order the normal CD-Version, I can save 10 $ over the regular release price, but the cost for shipping and handling to Germany will cost more than the discount of $ 10.

What is LC?

Can I use this AI script also with version 1.04, since there are some changes in this patch affecting gameplay? Thanks.

I also noticed this. But I thought that this is a feature, not a bug. Ciao Frank

Hello, where is the German version of the patch? Ciao Frank

When reading this thread about the so-called underpowered USA in SC2 and other topics in this forum concerning the role of the USA in the world, it seems to me that some of you have a quite bad attitude: The typical American nationalist (white, religious, intolerant) thinks that the USA is always superior to other nations, just because that they are Americans and "god's own country". This ignorant and protofascist national-pride attitude of some Americans is the reason why a lot of Europeans/Africans/Asiatics/South Americans dislike the current regime in the USA, which supports these Chauvinists. To get back to the topic: if you dislike the role of the US in SC2, take the editor and give them 5.000 armies. This should reflect your world view. Ciao Frank

Today, with the patched version 1.02, the game crashed again during an AI attack, even tough I followed the instructions above. The game sometimes crashes and my whole PC reboots when the AI attacks a unit. I assume that this has something to do with the sound, since just before the crash and reboot and just after the attack, there is no "attack sound" played. Can someone help or at least confirm this? It's sad that I can't reproduce this bug, since it happens quite rare. Ciao Frank

Thanks for the info. Ciao Frank

Any change that this will be implemented fast? Ciao Frank

I've edited and reworked your original Historical Flag mod for version 1.02 of SC2 with the new mirrored 3D units. If you give me your e-mail address, I can send to you the new file I made. Please note that I had to increase the color depth of the bmp files in order to edit them, so they are bigger now. Ciao Frank [ June 11, 2006, 01:10 AM: Message edited by: Franky-Boy ]

@Retributar You remember the good old movie "Battle of the Bulge" with the charismatic Oberst Hessler (played by Robert Shaw)? Nice! In Germany, the film is named "Die letzte Schlacht" (= The Final Battle). Speaking of Oil in SC2, I think there's no need to change something, since the importance of Oil is already represented by the high MP value of the oil resources. Ciao Frank

Only with the eLicensed game. Ciao Frank

Yes, this seems to be inevitable. Most users <20 prefer playing Command & Conquer and World of Warcraft, since these games have "better graphics" and much more "action". Ciao Frank
