[Where to buy SC1]

Hello,

can you tell me where to buy SC1? I've to move it to a new PC.

 

Thanks a lot

[Strategic Command – enhanced edition?]

I agree SC1 is a fantastic game, it needs just to be better balanced in favour of Allied side, there are many and easy weays to do it. SC2 is good but it has a huge lack: it does not allow to attack with surprise USSR, just this element gets the game unplayble. Please in SC3 maintains the surrprise attack to USSR. it is a basic fature of WWII.

[surprise attack to USSR]

Hi Bill101,

I was speaking the classic Fall Weiss, I've just bought the game, I'm a beginner (I do not know the one you mentioned, where can I find it?). So in Fall Weiss campaign is not possible to surprise USSR by Declaration of War? In tha same manner of SC1, to better explain my thinking.

Thanks a lot for your help.

[surprise attack to USSR]

As in SC2 the Allied can move units even in major neutral country, will be it impossible to surprise USSR units on the border? A player can have all the time to well defend well deep in the Counry, not loosing any units under the first attach of Axis. Is it fair?

[partisan activity]

thanks, when you say the cities and recources must be covered, do you mean with ZOC or directly with a unit placed on the Hex interested?

[partisan activity]

Thanks, what does it mean Pripyet?

[partisan activity]

To avoid the patisan activities in USSR and Yugoslavia, is it sufficient to cover all the marsh and mountain hexes with ZOC? or is it also needed to cover cities and recources?

thanks.

[Anti-Aircraft reaserch]

Thanks. Another quick question, in case of city without corps or something else, the AD value is 2 so bigger than with a corp (1)? Does it make sense?

And how does the formula work with alone cities? The AD value is 2 and the supply 5 (for example) and 0 the rating? What's the readiness?

[Anti-Aircraft reaserch]

if you ahve AA researc lev 1 and a corp in a city, what is the Air Defence Value? 1 or 2? and what is the Air Defence Bonus? 1 or 2?

thanks for your help

[Anti-aircraft Radar Research]

Hello,

I have 2 questions about AA research:

- does it add 1 point to a land unit in a city or resource as air defence bonus point AND air defens value?

- if Gernany has got this research, does an Italian unit in a German city receive this bonus? and viceversa?

thanks a lot.

[HQs linking]

Another 2 quick questions:

- the Anti-Aircraft research increases the Air Defence Value AND gives 1 more Dfence Bonus to the unit located on a atrategic resource?

- does it work even on a US uinit located on a USSR city, considering that the AA research has been reached by USSR and not by US? In other wordrs does it prevail a geographic criteria or a unit criteria?

thenk you very much for your help.

[HQs linking]

Thanks Hubert,

I've now understood that supply form cities is calculated first and prevail over the one coming from a close HQ even if this last HQ has a supply of 8 and the city of 5.

Is the range of 5 hex, to receive the influence of a HQ, affecetd by terrain values? like for supply?

[HQs linking]

I've not well understood how to link HQs.

If I put a HQ close to a city with supply 5 it should receive a supply of 8,

and if I put another HQ clost to this HQ with supply 8, it should have a

supply of 10, is it right? This last step does not happen.

for example in Canada, as axis, even having 2 HQ in this region, within 2

hexagons, I noted a supply of 8 for both.

Could someone explaint that to me?

[formula's results]

to summarize:

- just naval units can benefit from Air Def bonusus of Ports

- for example an airplane in the fortification receives a def bonus of 2 in case of an attack from a corp and of 4 in case of an air attack or tank attack

is it right?

another question:

in case of a blitz attack, the supply of the attacker is it calculated according to the hex of start or arrival?

thanks

[formula's results]

As an'airplane can't occupy a hexagon of sea like the port (is it sea?), to benefit these bonuses must it occupy just the city next to the port?

thanks as usual for your support.

[formula's results]

Just to know if I have well understood.

'Within the ports' means all the units in the Hex around the port. Is it right?

Do the def bonuses depend on the kind of the attacker or on the kind of the defennder? It's clear the benefit is for the defender.

Reading your sentence abaout the def bonusese for ports, it depends on the kind of attacker, it must be an airplane whoever is the defender around a port.

thanks

[formula's results]

Ok, the defender benefits these bonuses, so an airplane in the maginot line benefits 4 bonuses whatever is the type of its direct attacker, an Air or a Tank or a Corp. Is it right?

just two other questions.

When you attack across a river the strength is half, does it mean that the target values are half?

Ports have a Air Def bonus of 2, but how can an airplane enjoy that if the unit cannot be in an exagon of a port? just ship can.

thanks for your help.

[formula's results]

Thanks a lot Bill101.

You've understood correctly, it makes sense to explain the losses.

The same for entrenchment points? This is just for Maginot or is the same for airplanes in the cities (bonus 1 point)?

However as this airplane acts like a defender should have all these kinds of bonuses.

Do the table of defence bonuses refer to the type of defender or to the type of attacker?

example: a tank in the mountains as a defender, will receive 4 points or 2 if attacked by a corp?

[formula's results]

I have a question about the results of the formula to calculate the defender losses.

With a UK airplane in maginot line, acting as interdiction (so as a defender), it has been affected of 4 points of loss due to a German direct air attack to a corp in Bruxelles. With 4 points as defensive bonus, the loss should have been MAX 1 point, even with a 100% of the attacker's readiness.

What am I missing?

thanks for your help.

[PBEM question]

Just to add, if you navigate to your SC installation folder and then click on that 'Compatibility Files' button it should take you to where the saved game files are stored. For play by email you would be looking for a PBEM folder.

It works! Thank you very much, Hubert.

I'm ready to play, who's the next ?

[PBEM question]

I have the same problems, could someone tell me where I can find the files of the turns played and saved?

thanks a lot

[looking for opponents]

please, can you explain to me how to play?

what's the difference between pbm and play by tcp?

thank a lot

[looking for opponents]

I've just sent you an e-mail...

[looking for opponents]

Hello,

I'm interested too in playing this fantastic game. How can we play? what's pbem?

Note that I'm very strong.

[Naval Transport: where can I buy it]

Hi,

could you tell me how I can buy a unit of Naval Transport as it doesn't appear in the list shown in the screen "purchase unit".

Thank you very much for your help.
