AFAIK Some are solo some are MP. The files usually tell you if they can be played solo or not.

I think scouting ability has a definite impact. You could test it with a quick battle - make a simple op with 2 opposing identical tanks in the editor & tweak the crews e.g. 100% vs 10% scouting on command stats & see how it goes.

I have all ToWs installed & never see any clashes. Maybe your AV is blocking something related to Africa? I have all the ToW exes in my exclusions list.

Steam has just done some updating of ToW2 - a 'files converted to more efficient format' run :confused: + a <13mb patch. Game & editor exes & some dlls updated. Hopefully 1c have made some positive changes.

Sorry I missed the "," from "According to Steam Forum, binaries & SFS are being updated." Meaning game .bin etc rather than 'just' steam client interface etc. Could all be Steam related though....

According to Steam Forum binaries & SFS are being updated. No idea what that specifically means but as core files I would say someone finally decided to address 'something' Where is a changelog when we need one?

There are some bits for ToW 1 & 2 here if you don't already have them.

Here you go.

I would really like to see more ToW, esp. a Cold War 'ToW Fulda Gap' or similar. After seeing the promo video & the huge unit list I'd hoped Wargame European Escalation might have something to offer. Youtube shows otherwise. (at least as far as I'm concerned.) I shan't be straying too far from my ToW collection anytime soon by the looks of things.

...a bit more thread hi-jacking! As something of a footnote - I found this particularly telling - (ref p265-7 of Charles Whitings' book.) sburke & Sirocco - Thanks for the book titles I shall look out for those.

With ref to comments by TrailApe & Michael Emrys - It has to be said the class-system in the UK has 'always' encouraged the placement of 'Upper-Class Twits' in positions of command. The net result is a whole lot of avoidable errors both on & off the battle-field. The best understanding I have gained of US Army Command activity in WW2 was the result of reading The Battle of Hurtgen Forest by Charles Whiting. That gave me some clear insight into what kind 'tactical thinking' could occur. ...just my dimes' worth.

I would say will work for best results. If you don't already have all the extras you need from links on this forum, there is a collection of files mirrored here which includes JSH 135 & the Bulldogs campaign. When you are done with that be sure to play Arzoks Uchronic missions.

I hope the devs don't bin this series as it is one of the best there is. It can always be improved but there are so many great moments in the battles. Just watched a US tank destroyer & a Pz IV simultaneously kill each other at close range. Wish the game had a video mechanism that allowed you to rove around afterwards watching all the little events you must miss when playing. Looks like the cause of the slowdowns on newer rigs may have been identified at last. Can Windows dynamic boost + video drivers somehow kill the CPU affinities...? :eek: Be interesting to see if the devs leave it to the players to fix the issue or whether they patch it now something that could be a starting point for debugging has been found.

Has anyone tried the 'this solution'?
