I have upraded my win 10 and want to re-install the SC games. Does anybody know if the AMD problem is fixed with the new driver version 17.7?

Is there meanwhile a solution for this problem? Is it possible to install the old driver again?

I guess with the new driver the copy protection assumes the game is now on a different computer. It may work if you deinstall the game, then use the cleaning untility from the helpdesk and then install the game again. Maybe the helpdesk has already an easier solution. I moved back to the old driver since I have multiple battlefront games with this problem and did not want to install/clean all of them.

Looking for new matches again. Any challengers are welcome.

Hi, I want to update to Win10 once it is available (July 29). Did anybody install the beta and tried if the games of the strategic command series run with Win10. Is there (again) another activation needed? Greetings Isnogud.

Since most of my games are now finished I look for new opponents. Happy to play any side or mirror. I'm quite experienced so beginners may not have much fun, but any challangers are welcome. Please mail to ultima@gno.de

Does the server work again or is the service discontinued?

The game with Pacestick is now over. Japan surrendered on 08.09.1946.

I think you can look it up with the editor on the country settings. Fully co-operative would be supply and HQ sharing. Cooperative only supply. Russia and Japan are non cooperative so the do not provide any supply to allies. China provides supply to the western allies, I'm not sure about Chinese supply for the USSR, I would assume the do not provide supply to them. For minor countries it depends if they are surrenderd or liberated. If they are the provide only supply for the country who owns them. If they have not surredered each city provides supply for the country who last entered it. So if Iran did not surrender some cities can provide supply for UK other for USSR.

One Year later. Allies advances slowly on all fronts:

From my expierence most player do not defend the worthless islands. Only the ones which provides MPPs are defended. It depends on the japs overall strategy. If they plan to attack Australia or the US the islands nearby are also interesting. HQ makes only sence on the bigger islands like DEI or Philipines. Problem is that the small islands will be surrunded by ships then the support goes below 5 and the unit is destroyed by carriers. The deceicive battle will be the Jap vs. the US navy.

They conquered all (island) objectives in the Pacific including Hawai. Also China surrendered. So readiness and morale was very high for the Japs, so I needed the best USSR units to stop them.

One year later: UK conquered Sweden with the help of the US and preparing an attack on Denmark. Zhukov successfully defended Stalingrad. Germany had to withdraw to Kharkov Japan could be stopped in Far East after relocating some units from Stalingrad Allies try to stop Japan in India

It escaped from a chinese coastal city early in the game. Here I used it to block the german navy. Usually Germany does not declare war on China, so it cannot be attacked. After China surrendered it became a UK minor. If China would have been still strong I would have taken Norway with it (after destroying the defending units with the UK).

I think one or two tanks have been destroyed in Germays attempt to defend Finland. The others perpare for a strike against Leningrad. Also behind Kharkov more tanks may wait. Maybe Pacestick still remembers this, since they are not visible in this turn.

It's now February 1942. China has surrendered, the US is still at 69%. Norway has been conqued by UK, now preparing an attack on Sweden: Moskow has fallen too, Stalingrad is the last strong defense line led by Zhukov and most of the Russian tanks. Preparing for the awaited jap. attack in Sibiria: Finland still under russian control: Checking the italian defense in Sicilia:

That would have been an interesting option. Sadly China was already near to defeat at this time.

Early Barbarossa with successful attack on Odessa, Kharkov and Rostov. Finland taken by the Red Army after heavy losses on both sides. Fast advances of Japan in China UK invasion of Norway to open a second front for Germany: US mobilization still very low.

It's June 1940 and the Axis already conquered France installing Vichy. The USSR is preparing it's attack on Finland and Persia: Battle of Tobruk - no German support in Africa Mistakes on the northern Chinese front allowed a japanese breakthrough

Clausewitz used that strategy against me and may be the inventor. It was new to me that time so I did not care much about the first hit. After a second hit income was very bad for the US. I did win the game nevertheless due to heavy German losses in USSR later in the game. I tried the same against Strategiclayabout sometime later and he seems to know this already. Result was both sides burned 750/600 mpps with one hit which did basically not change much. So I guess ignoring more than on chit on a major as allies does hurt heavyly but the allies can always invest to prevent this. This will slow down the UK but put Japan in a weak position against the US. So it's not just spend some diplomacy chits as axis and you're done.

This strategy is well known and already discussed in: http://www.battlefront.com/community/showthread.php?t=114251 The easiest way is to counter invest early.

I cannot find version 1.1 in the repository only version 1.0.

Yes but in this case Germany has the change to get the Straßburg battleship with the option to repair it or to scrap it.

That seems to be the case. I took London before Paris so the UK does not get the decision not to recognize Vichy- In that case the Fort de France event did also not occur.
