BTW The ladder is played with assault on democraty i suppose ? I haven't got this expension, and i prefer waiting for SC3. I just want to play a single funny game before the SC3 release.

Looking for a game, SC Gold 1.04, 1939 world at war. All setting by default. I prefer allies side. My level : intermediate. Thanks. boudi001 at gmail dot com

What do you mean by "Global Conquest" ? I don't see a scenario with this name ? I f you want to play the "1939 world at war" scenario i'm OK, but i play with the Gold 1.03 patch recently installed. boudi001 at gmail dot com

Humm, i read again the event and i see that if i answer yes, i have to pay some MPP dispatched in 4 turns, it seems normal that i have to pay without any discount if i want Graziani in Libya.... The event is different, i remember but maybe i'm wrong, that Graziani was free in both option in the 1st version of SC GG, campaign 39'.

Hello, Does the Graziani event has been reworked in the gold Global Conflict version (1.02) compared to the 1st version of SC GG ? If i answer "no" to the event (I don't want Graziani in Abyssina) he no longer appears in Lybia. It seems that i have to buy him in the units production screen... Wad, not wad ??? Thank you for your answers.

Thank-you Hubert, i forwaded the informations about this expansion to leqg.org (the HQ, in english) , one of the main french websites about wargames and strategy games.

Same question : this expension will be compatible with Excalibur Publishing version or not ?

Thank-you very much, Hubert. http://www.excalibur-publishing.com/updates/Strategic_Command_WWII_Global_Conflict_v106_Patch.exe

For All retail UK customers, it could be possible to build and upload the patch 1.06 everywhere else Excalibur Publishing website ?

Hello, I've seen that there is a patch 1.06 now for Global Conflict, when this patch will be available for the UK retail version ? http://www.battlefront.com/community/announcement.php?f=116&a=462 Thank you very much !

We want screenshots !

Hi Hubert, Unfortunatly, there is no effect in windowed mod. I tried to turn off the "video acceleration" too, no effect. Thanks again for your help.

Hello Hubert, I'm sorry i think not. I'm not a computer programmer of course, but i know a little bit the Ageod and Paradox's video games, and for these two games it's a 2D engine. I know a little bit Pocus, the Ageod's developpement team manager, he lives at Lyon (France) , 45 miles from my home, i played few PBEM with him, Ageod's american civil war is developped with a Delphi 2D engine. Paradox Interactive had developped a 3D engine only with Europa Universalis III, not before. Another exemple : Fraps works fine with Gary Grigsby's World at war a world divided edited by Matrix Games. 2D engine too. But, for an opposite exemple, Fraps works fine too with Combat Mission From Barbarossa to Berlin (CMBB) (Battlefront.com) , 3D engine. Looks my Youtube webpage : http://www.youtube.com/user/boudi001?feature=mhum I'm playing 3 PBEM with SC GC, one inclused with AAR. http://www.leqg.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=77&t=11169 It would be better, if i could use Youtube for a video AAR , i bought a home studio software, but unfortunatly the first step, using fraps, don't works. it would be a little free advertissment for the game too. I read on the Fraps website this : "Fraps is a universal Windows application that can be used with games using DirectX or OpenGL graphic technology." DirectX or OpenGL could be the problem ?

Thank you very much for your quick support Hubert, it is very serious from Fury software.

No it is not. It works fine with Ageod's American civil war by exemple, or Victoria from Paradox Interactive, typically 2D.

Just one another question, please. The manual explain how Intelligence works with the recherh formula "The enemy intelligence modifier". Ok, but wich ennemy ? By exemple, if UK has 0 level in intelligence and USA has 3 in 1942 (both are in war against Japan) wich penalty will be applied to Japan in the formula ??? 0 ? 3 ?

Hello, I tried to use Fraps for taking video, but when I started it up Fraps refuses to see that SC is being played. No FPS counter, nothing is recorded when using the hotkey. Nothing. I tried with a ATI videocard computer and a NVIDIA videocard computer, samething. Any idee ?

Opponent found. Thanks.

Looking for an axis opponent, patch 1.04, 1939 World At War campaign. Please send a private message if interested.

I suggest now 6 interesting tables, about the R&D for all countries. It's the last 57st turn of the game. Remember that when you have a full budget and no tech discovered, you cannot invest more MPP. By exemple, R&D US budget was full all long the game (1325MPP) and Soviet Union too (600 MPP). 1st: China. Not very important because China become quickly out of game. For information, China discovered 4 levels techs : 2 in infantry weapons, 2 in antiaircrafts guns. Forget China. (Edit : cannot post the screenshot of China, because Battlefront website rules, max 5 screenshots) 2nd: UK. 1325 MPP spent, 12x100 and 1x125 levels techs discovered. UK was not all long the time with the R&D budget max, because UK need to renforce their ships and planes hits by U-Boots or germans planes, and defense of Egypt needs MPP too. 3rd : USA. The worst. Only 2350 MPP spent, 11x100 and 10x125. 21 levels discovered. Average= 41 MPP per turn, = (41/1325)=3% of the budget max. 4st SU. 975 MPP spent, 6x100 and 3x125. Average per turn = 975/57=17, 2,8% of budget max. 5st, Germany. 3725 MPP spent, 21x100 and 13x125. Average/turn=65, 8,7% of the budget max. 6st, Japan.2600MPP spent (more than USA ! ) , 21x100 and 4x125. Average/turn=46, 7% of the budget max. During 57 turns, Axis discovered 59 techs levels, Allies 43. But 43 for 3 countries (average 14,3) Axis 59 for only two (average 29,5). In this conditions, the game becomes more and more unbalanced.

Hi, I think that the Research and developpment suffer a large problem. For discovering a next level you need, first one, invest MPP, second, you need chance. Chance is the problem. I played a multiplayer game, as allies, i have to stop it after the fall of Moscow, december 1943. Germans have Tank level 5 since.... 1942. They have fighters level 3. In the same time, soviet tanks stay level 2, since 1939. USA, with their 1350 MMP invested in Research and developpment, have in december 1943 : Infantry, (anti infantry weapons, anti tanks weapons ) level 0 Motorization : level 0 Tanks : level zero Fighters : level 1 Never techs were launched. The US army was the 1917 sherman's expeditionnary corps in decembrer 1943. Soviets army fight with sticks and stones. Every attacks of a german tank gives a soviet army destroyed = 4 or 5 soviets army destroyed per turn. I think that the chance condition in order to have a next level is a bad idea. Money and delay suffice. I was only a Punching bag for my opponent since 1939, not very enjoyed by my game. IMHO.

Ok thank you.
