  1. sub tech should really be able to hit level 5 imo. tanks and aircraft can so players shouldnt be stopped form developing advanced subs if they so wish. by late war germany had very advanced subs that wouldve defo have been a game changer if they had been researched way earlier so its disappointing that we cant focus on sub tech even if it means sacrificing something else. any chance of this being changed?
  2. have to say im really enjoying this game, very addictive. is there really only 3 sub techs? it appears ive maxed out the sub techs and its only 1941 which seems a little off. i assume because the tech reads 3/3 and its red this is the case. im playing as the axis. i still have a chit in the sub tech. should this set to 0 if i have indeed maxed it out? if i have 3 subs on a convoy route do i inflict 3 raiding penalties? it seems sometimes i do and sometimes i dont.
  3. ive noticed im unable to build carriers for germany. is this because i have the hard build limit switched on? it pretty much kills any chance germany have for contolling the seas. ps, lol ignore this post, ive seem em now.
  4. yeah i noticed it when arty fire they have ammo. so i assume the ammo tech simply speeds up how fast they replenish?
  5. i see there is a new shell production tech. the manual also mentions shells but i dont see any ingame shell resource. how does this game mechanic work?
  6. are these things worth buying given the abstraction of naval combat? i cant seem to find any benefit from them apart from obviously their lower cost.
  7. Nope. The port at brest is occupied but i dont see why that make any difference. I raised 5 units and sent them all to France so its very frustrating that there is no way for me to get them back. Is there some game mechanic going on that im missing?
  8. im playing against the AI so ive no idea. i dont see any ships on the raiding tiles and im pretty sure the port hasnt been bombed. any ideas?
  9. playing as the allies the battle of france is almost over and im trying to evacuate my uk troops from france however im unable to do so. the situation is as follows. unit is adjacent to to the bordeuax port and hasnt moved i have plenty of mpp port is allied no enemy units adjacent clear weather i cant figure out why i cant transport these units back to the uk the only thing i can think of is that the port supply is 2. dunno why though cos paris hasnt fallen and there are no units between paris and the port. seems a bit weird that i cant attempt a dunkirk scenario.
  10. id imagine it would be a lot of work right with regards to balance with technology, movement etc?
  11. ive dropped the files into the GC gold campaigns folder but when playing it the map is distorted with a large grey line running through the middle. have i done something wrong? im running the latest update
  12. are there any mods that have weekly turns instead of every two weeks?
  13. is this game as bad as most reviews say? the game is goin real cheap on gamersgate.
  14. whats the best way to go about taking copenhagen? there's only 1 square to attack from and no stacking so how is it done? attacking from the same square just leads to a battle of attrition.
  15. what do you mean when you say you cannot do simultaneous turns with SC then you say it works well. does playin with simultaneous turns cause problems?
  16. ive known bout this game for years, i actually bought it back back on 2006 but just never managed to get into to. ive mainly played the hearts or iron series so am more used to a hands on game experience, the abstraction with SC is gonna take a bit of gettin used to. as an example, poland in hoi can normally be taken within 1 month but with the monthly turns in SC i reckon it will take at least 3, if not more. im just curious to know if everyone here plays with monthly turns? and my other question still stands, do simultaneous turns enhance gameplay or does it cause problems with SC game mechanics? im hopin i can stick with SC this time and get involved in some multiplayer.
  17. hi, ive just purchased this game and have a couple of questions before i dive into my 1st campaign proper. the default map seems to cramped so i downloaded the nupremal map which is a lot better imo. i have a problem with the turn length though. the turns are 14 days sequential which means basically 1 turn per month. im used to playin more hands on strat games so the abstraction is a bit of an issue. the two options i see are either makin the game 7 day sequential turns or 14 day simultaneous turns. what option would you guys recommend?
  18. hi, im new to strategic command and i fancy tryin this mod as it improves on the default map which i feel is to cramped. does this game map cover the entire world and what media files do i need to download as explained on page one of this thread? cheers.
