I had to finally pull the trigger on France '40 Gold...I have wanted it for years, now I regret I waited so long.   There are a couple CW titles I may get...and Waterloo...and...of course Pacific War since it will complete my WWII SB collection...then there is East Prussia '14 so I can complete my WWI collection...damn I need to be careful.
Kind Regards,

I'm trying out their demo and I will probably get a few games before the weekend ends.

Can somebody tell me if there is a way to change some settings in game or by using a config file (sound volume, screen resolution, hotkeys, ...).

I find some things rather difficult to read on higher screen resolutions (e.g. unit box attack value and range).

I love Red Victory but then i like playing desperate defense with the Germans in 1944 and 1945

What are some of your favorite German-side scenarios in RV, out of curiosity?  Curious to play that one more.
I'll get you a list tomorrow of some of my favorites

Thanks  O0

Here is a quick list.  There are more but didn't go through the entire scenario list.  All these have the Germans on the defense against the hordes of the Soviet Union.

014: Staraja Russia
025: Garany
028: Nikolajewka
032: Rocherovo
035: Nova-Buda
052: Senno
059: Radzymin

I just grabbed the scenario name but I should have grabbed the descriptive title instead as it would have told you a bit more.

So far so good...this might become my favorite PzC title so far.  Large amount of scenarios (and scenario variations) has monsters, large, mid size and small.  I like the theater, year and equipment mix so right up my alley, and a lot of variety in units, equip. and map features.  ...take with a grain of salt though, I have only played through 1.5 scenarios so far, and that against the AI.
Kind Regards,
Harry

Where are the campaigns in Campaign Gettysburg?  Only the scenarios show up as choices.  I  thought there was some sort of campaign aspect to the game as well.  Thanks.

Thank you!  Scenario name is fine, I'm tech savvy enough to figure it out  :bd:
A War of a Madman's Making - a text-based war planning and political survival RPG

It makes no difference what men think of war, said the judge.  War endures.  As well ask men what they think of stone.  War was always here.  Before man was, war waited for him.  The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner.  That is the way it was and will be.  That way and not some other way.
- Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian


If they made nothing but WWII games, I'd be perfectly content.  Hypothetical matchups from alternate history 1980s, asymmetrical US-bashes-some-3rd world guerillas, or minor wars between Upper Bumblescum and outer Kaboomistan hold no appeal for me.

I guess it's sort of nice that the word "tactical" seems to refer to some kind of seriousness during your moments of mental clarity.

Check for a separate .exe.

Found it. Open it and clicked on 'new campaign'....there is nothing there but an empty folder.  Will probably have to go to Tiller's site for support?

Has anyone played Campaign Vicksburg...or for that matter, other Civil War campaigns other then Gettysburg and can recommend one?

Rayfer, I haven't played Gettysburg in donkeys, but I'm pretty sure there should be a campaign option where you have to pick a handful of choices before the game starts to determine the starting condition of the units.  Sorry I can't be more help on how to find it.

In your Campaign Gettysburg folder you will find a cp_start application. Click it and a box opens asking you to pick a name to save it. Type in what you want and save and then you should be at the box to pick your Campaign options

I've played them all and after Gettysburg my favorites are Antietam and Chickamauga. Antietam also includes both Bull Run battles plus South Mountain. Chickamauga includes Perryville and Murfreesboro.

^ Thanks brother.  Antietam is the call for me I think.
