Won't hide my being a dedicated fan of CTGW, however recently bought the SCWWI bundle and have been very satisfied with it, especially with Breakthrough. Maybe it's me (a newbee), that this game's interface is harder to manage than CTGW's. One of the reasons I moved over to this game was the lack of Technical Support at CTGW, plus the Daddy of the game skipped town without telling all the buyers the game's programing future is "Dead". My only hope here is: That the Dev's here keep the faith and work with the membership in supporting the game. Have not read all of the posts yet here, keeping an eye out for "Hot fixes", future "patches", "expansions" or "General Fixes" that maybe incorporated into the game presently or later on.

Thanks, I'll go to the readme stuff on the other patches.

Just downloaded 1.5 Breakthrough, but have not noticed changes reflected in the manual(s) or am I just not seeing them? Another question: Is 1.5 looking back and including all the previous patches too? Or, Do I have to download each one (version) separately? Thanks, Bob

If by chance there is a in game change to ZOOM, either with a "Hot Fix" or in a next patch, an intermediate Zoom out would also compliment the game. As it is: I think the game has a 3 step zoom, I think it would do the game justice to have at least a 5 step Zoom.

<Edit> Sorry! I was wrong about the Russian MMP, it appears the Russians might of had gotten less MMP than the Germans at the opening turns. I don't see an edit feature for comments here.

Did not research this forum on Zoom-in for other inquiries. Been using sprites instead of NATO symbols. I get this urge all the time to try and zoom-in on a particular location for detail, only to find it's not possible. Very frustrating! Is there any chance of adding an additional zoom-in to the game?

Another thing I would have to agree on with Furchtlosundtrew: Is the stingy MMP for Germany at the beginning of the game? Soooo much to do, with so few points! Even Russia had a (approx.) hundred more points or less than Germany.

Hello Gents! New to the game and Found this thread extremely interesting especially about Russian entrenchment. I'm about to embark on my first Grand campaign (SP) in the hope of gaining enough experience to participate in MP matches. I am a veteran CTGW MP player, but have not seen nothing there on the scale of what SCWWI has to offer, especially on the diplomatic front, although I can say there are some other game similarities. One of the issues early on in CTGW was "entrenchment", especially in the east, where it should have been a more fluid campaign than a static one. One of the solutions patched in: Was to reduce the effectiveness of entrenchment or at the very least drawing out the time for entrenchment techs to take effect. Yes, I have found in some of the lessor scenarios here that once entrenchment levels get up there, that a hex or rather a tile in this game is harder to overrun with out combined arms attacks, mainly with artillery and recon bombers. With an area that Russia encompasses, it would seem a very slow go for CP. Again I am a newbie here.. Bob

Karhu, If you have not already tried Battlefront Helpdesk here is the place to go: http://battlefront.mojohelpdesk.com/ hit the blue ticket button (top right of screen) to get started on solving your problem. Bob

Helpdesk pointed out to me the serial numbers are on the backside of the CD case for this game (I never noticed it), however many of their other games have the serial number printed on the disc label, or something like that..., plus I think the owners are going to implement a digital system of receiving your serial number. At any rate, I'm up and running! Now I have to figure out how this game works...

Went and got a helpdesk ticket (reluctantly). Would rather get an answer here at the forum about the issue. Helpdesk tickets require a variety of questions to be answered, some questions I don't have a clue how to answer, the process leaves a lot to be desired...

Hmmm! Never tried PNGs before, I have to wonder if the other forums would allow posting with PNGs? One of the things I noticed in AARs here is: They did not appear all that clear...

Have checked that screen a few times now: There is a SKU #, but NO License key #, packing slip same thing. It should be a # that is plain as day to see in my account when accessed through Battlefront. Thanks, Bob

Thanks, No I did not get an email with a specific serial number. If any of you support people read this post: My Order Number: 297921 Has been received, can you please send the serial number so I can get started... Thanks, Bob

Hi! Just received this game and Breakthrough. However, after downloading SC WW I then Breakthrough I am asked for a serial number to activate, I'd be damned, can't find it? No # on disk or case, so where do I find it? Any help appreciated.. Thanks, Bob

Sorry, I did a rather lengthy comment here only to lose it after attaching a SS, so now this is being reduced to a SS test..

First off: Are screenshots produced by using Ctrl key and the p key? Do screenshots go to desktop or a folder/file where a (where a screenshot can be converted to jpg or jpeg) screenshot then can be sent to desktop? From desktop can these jpeg screenshots be attached to a forum post, pm ect..? I'm new here and waiting for UPS to deliver my copy of this game. However, I have been a Matrix CTGW forum member for years, screenshots there can be converted to jpeg, placed on desktop, then attached to posts-PMs-emails-ect.... I was wondering if that can be done here also? Or do I have to get a photo server? (I'd rather not) I'd like to keep it simple.

Can you zoom in just a little when you start doing the AAR again?
