Wolfe 1759

Smaller campaigns, I tried 1918 Georgette and 1917 Gaza seem fine. Playing as CP in the main campaign (at the start of the first turn) scrolling is slowest over the Western Front but is noticeable anywhere in continental Europe from France to Poland, with no noticeable stutter when over the Atlantic / North America / Scandinavia / Russia. It might just be my imagination but the scrolling seemed to be slightly smother with fog of war option switched off.

Changing the Video Acceleration value to 0 resulted in the screen pretty much locking up, eventually getting a 1 tile scroll after about 10-15 secs wait Changing full screen mode didn't seem to have any effect and neither did setting to XP compatability. Updated my video card driver a couple of days ago.

I've noticed that the active indicator sprite (national emblem or flag) on some units is on the right and on some units (of the same nation and on the same front) it is on the left. I've scanned the manual to see if this positioning indicates something but can't find anything, admittedly I might have missed it. Not a major problem but it does seem a bit odd and may be a bit confusing when you have got a 2 or 3 deep front. If there is a way to make them all display on the right (as I'm sort of used to from the prior SC games) that would be nice. If it is a feature and I've missed it apologies but could someone point me to the right page in the manual. P.S. although just my 2nd post I've been a long time lurker and have only recently got into SC2. SC2+WAW had sat on my shelf and hard drive for quiet some time, I think it was somethning about the lack of hexes that had put me off. On a whim fired up SC2WAW a few weeks back, couldn't believe quiet what I had been missing all this time, it has really hit a sweet spot for me in terms of playability. Since then I have purchased all of the SC2 games with SC WWI being the latest today.

I'm having the same problems with slow / stuttering scrolling, in the previous SC games this has been solved by the video acceleration option but don't have this option available with SC WWI. Generally use NATO icons anyway and turned the rest of the graphical options off as recommended above but with no noticeable effect to the stuttering scrolling. Running with W7 on an i5 with an ATI Radeon HD 5450, which should I hope be able to cope fairly comfortably with the graphic requirements. Other than this rather annoying niggle I must say SC WWI looks rather good with a lot of interesting scenarios in addition to the campaigns, the Lawrence of Arabia one looks particularly tempting, nice change from being Rommel or Monty.
