moves in turn one:



The Soviet player ( me ) is hampered somewhat in that a lot of my units are either routed or in reserve or in the exclusion zone and therefore can't be moved. But we're off to a good start

use them as defense against the Germans instead.  Also, I plan to use the rivers that form a natural "V" around
Leningrad as most of my defense:

Oops...nevermind. I just found out that they are using the same terrain graphics as TOAW III uses, but this is actually a CoW game. My bad.

This isn't going to be a CoW game very long. Okimaw is in the process of purchasing TOAW III even as we speak. And TOAW III will read CoW files so there's no problem with upgrading the files we're making now.

I would caution against it. If the game was started in CoW, and the scenario contains an event 500, then there may be some issues.

Best to either continue on in CoW, or to start a new game, just to be safe.

Whoa, Thanks for the heads up. I'll confur with my able opponent ( Okimaw ) as to what he wants to do. Since this is the first turn and he's buying TOAW III as we speak ( he may already have it ) he'll probably just want to duplicate our moves with the new engine.

Larry,
I'd actually expect it to work fine. We tested scenarios, and save games are scenarios + extra data. If you want to send me a copy of a turn file, and the original COW scenario, I can verify that it's OK.

Thanks,
Ralph

This sub-forum isn't yet showing up on the fora that I can move items to. Give Erik a day or two to get these new sub-fora set into my permissions, and I can do it for you. Otherwise, go ahead and PM Erik, and ask him to do it.

Thanks Ralph, I'll do that. But I'll have to send it to you through the development forum since *this* forum doesn't support posting zip files.

Larry,
You should be safe to upgrade. The events should come through fine.

Thanks Larry, that one was simple<g> I tried out the code, and verified that it worked. I wish I had your skill and patience with the graphics.
