Great guide! I think TOAW is a really very well documented game. Just what I need.

This shot shows the cumulative AP and DF strengths in each stack.

This question relates to the thread "The State of digital Wargaming".

Is there anything on the game screen that tells me I am currently looking at cumulative AP and DF strengths?

So, I can see that my comment was correct in that I cannot see any values for a stack.

So I set my Edit Counter Values like this:

Stack Anti Armour..........Stack Armour Defense
Stack Anti Personnell......Stack Defense
Remaining movement allowance
Unit Time Stamp

Before I continue, discussing the same issue that I noticed 4 years ago, I cannot install the latest patch, which means the words at the bottom of my screen are different to the words at the bottom of the screen 2 posts above.
It seems the issue has been solved!

Well no I did not. I bought the game from Matrix back in 2017. I recently picked up the game again and could not install the last patch.

My solution was to buy the game a second time through Steam and obviously it is patched.

Ouch. Could have just requested a Steam key. It's free.

Yeah, steam is great [not]. How come steam can patch it but Matrix can't ? Why doesn't Matrix offer the majic key to unlock the mystery ? What can Matrix learn from steam?

There was a patch snafu. Then that got sorted out but it complicated the patch process. Then that got sorted out. But there are still headscratchers that catch people not in the know like files and where they can be found. And there's the button on the Launch screen that says "Check for Update" that just screws things up if you click on it. Not sure if it's been fixed because I don't want to click on it and go through the hassle of the damned thing screwing things up.

Some really basic things go unfixed and noobs are constantly asking the same questions over and over and over. Easier to just get a Steam key and that takes care of much of the hassle. But even at that there are still things that result in wtf moments that shouldn't be there. Learn to live with them I guess.
