larryfulkerson -> RE: Sicily to Brenner Pass Revised (12/30/2013 9:20:54 PM)

Hey something that showed up in turn 60 is elements of the 5th Canadian Armoured Division. It's on Sicily unfortunately, so it'll be a few
days until they will be able to be in active combat mode. I was wondering if I had to fight the war with what was on hand. Maybe I
should take a look at the expected reinforcements again.

I had to read this screen twice. First time I thought it said that B-52H's were something or other instead of B-25H's. Almost bent my
head reading that the first time.

Here's the T61 front lines. Still pressing north. My partisans are going crazy blowing bridges and converting road hexes.

I've been doing a "save game" every once in a while and now have several files and can supply any or all of them to whoever would like
to peruse them for whatever reason. Just a thought.

larryfulkerson -> RE: Sicily to Brenner Pass Revised (12/30/2013 10:46:39 PM)

I've got a lot of units lined up on the "most supply path" route so they can refuel and get ready to go out again. The rail from Anzio is
getting longer each turn but it's not nearby yet. Supply is the biggest problem and you know, it would really be helpful if I knew where the
next supply source could be had. But I couldn't find any north of Rome on the list of Supply Sources except for Toulouse and it's behind
a barrier or some kind..

I could use a shot of turn 54. Maybe I can figure out where the Anzio Counter Attack Group went to. [:(]



larryfulkerson -> RE: Sicily to Brenner Pass Revised (12/30/2013 11:20:18 PM)

And turn 54 is attached to this post. Just truncate off the dot txt from the end of the filename and you should have the save file.



larryfulkerson -> RE: Sicily to Brenner Pass Revised (12/30/2013 11:22:13 PM)

This is the problem I'm running into. Low supply. The units go yellow quickly and I have to send them back to refuel. I've got units doing
out and back in the pipeline and we're advancing but it's slow.

Doesn't seem to work for some reason. [:@]

So um....what is it exactly that isn't working? It isn't showing up as a file to choose, or you can't truncate off the dot txt from the
filename? It won't load right in TOAW? It causes a blue screen of death? Can't download the file?

Have you tried to do a "save as" on the link and THEN maybe it doesn't work? I need more data to compute the cause of the
problem. Do I need to reattach it to the post? Do I need to give you a different turn? Actually maybe we should try that.

EDIT: I just clicked on the link to give the filename display then did a "save link as" and saved it as a text file with a really long
mathematical name: A6J9B45593DC93B.txt or sometlhing like that. Then I changed the dot txt on the end to dot sal and
loaded it into TOAW and it worked just fine. I really don't know what problemo you're having.



larryfulkerson -> RE: Sicily to Brenner Pass Revised (12/31/2013 2:45:33 AM)

So um.....this is the end of T62 and these are the missions for the aircraft. It's hard to push the aircraft harder when there aren't any
targets to hit. And there's an ME-109 unit at an airfield that has an AA unit on it and I don't want to airfield attack the field when the
AA unit is there so I'm setting up all kinds of AS missions hoping that he'll come up to play and I can shoot him down.

larryfulkerson -> RE: Sicily to Brenner Pass Revised (12/31/2013 2:50:00 AM)

Here's the expected reinforcements for T62 and during T64 there seems to be two aircraft units w/ almost the same name. Is this some
cute trick to swap out the type of plane? Or something?

larryfulkerson -> RE: Sicily to Brenner Pass Revised (12/31/2013 3:13:30 AM)

Here's the new front lines now: I'm pushing slowly north units go out and convert hexes until they run out of supply and then they
trek back to Rome to refuel and they go back out and do the same. The rail is getting longer reaching from Anzio, it's almost to Rome.
I'm wondering if I should repair the railroad up the west coast or should I repair across country. The last few supply points were in ports
so I'm guessing I should repair up the coast looking for the next supply point. If there is one. Somewhere.

larryfulkerson -> RE: Sicily to Brenner Pass Revised (12/31/2013 4:17:56 AM)

Here's T64's front lines. Same story as last turn.

larryfulkerson -> RE: Sicily to Brenner Pass Revised (12/31/2013 4:59:53 AM)

In T65 I get a Polish Division. I'll put them to work on the east coast I guess.

Ok, I was doing something wrong. I followed your instructions and got it, thanks !



larryfulkerson -> RE: Sicily to Brenner Pass Revised (12/31/2013 1:50:35 PM)

Here's T67's front lines. Still pressing north and I'm nearing the Gothic Line and I think that's where all the Germans are.

larryfulkerson -> RE: Sicily to Brenner Pass Revised (12/31/2013 2:36:54 PM)

The 5th Polish Division is getting close to the first Germans in quite a while but I can't start a fight because the supply level is too low
to support that.

larryfulkerson -> RE: Sicily to Brenner Pass Revised (12/31/2013 4:30:28 PM)

Here's the T70 front lines. I'm running into Germans finally. I've got to build more rail to allow combat though.

Larry,

TOAW Scenario Viewer program


Yeah that is what I was after. If I could get a copy that would be great.

Let me rip though a few of the tutorials again, I used to play the crap out of this back in '98-04'ish and then (or whenever) Matrix re-released it for a few months prior to me taking a break to play-test GG WITE.

Cheers.



larryfulkerson -> RE: Sicily to Brenner Pass Revised (12/31/2013 7:25:48 PM)

Here's a zipped up file that contains the TOAW Scenario Viewer, the entire directory for it. I'm pretty sure you can just unzip this
bad boy and be ready to go. I added a dot txt to the end of the filename just so I could post it here. Just truncate off the dot txt
from the filename and unzip it.



larryfulkerson -> RE: Sicily to Brenner Pass Revised (12/31/2013 7:28:36 PM)

Here's the TOAW Equipment Editor. Same story as above, just truncate off the dot txt and unzip it.



larryfulkerson -> RE: Sicily to Brenner Pass Revised (12/31/2013 7:43:45 PM)

T72's front lines. I've run into some patch of area that doesn't have any supply at all and so I'm going to have to put the war on hold
until I can get some supply to the units. The supply line running along the west coast is getting longer but still has a long way to go.
The rail from Taranto doesn't go to the east coast so I'm having to construct a rail line going from Rome to the east coast and that's
going to take a while. It's a long way.

larryfulkerson -> RE: Sicily to Brenner Pass Revised (12/31/2013 7:51:38 PM)

I finally made it to the suburbs of Florence. Supply is intollerably low here and the war is going to be put on hold for a couple of turns
so the rail can lengthen a bit.

larryfulkerson -> RE: Sicily to Brenner Pass Revised (12/31/2013 7:59:09 PM)

Here's what supply looks like on the West coast.

larryfulkerson -> RE: Sicily to Brenner Pass Revised (12/31/2013 8:01:08 PM)

Here's what supply looks like on the East coast. None at all. Unacceptable.

larryfulkerson -> RE: Sicily to Brenner Pass Revised (12/31/2013 9:27:49 PM)

You know it just occured to me that one of my readers might want to run this scenario through a time or two. So I'm attaching the
scenario to this post. Equipment File and Graphics and everything. Just truncate the dot txt off the end of the filename and unzip
this bad boy.



larryfulkerson -> RE: Sicily to Brenner Pass Revised (12/31/2013 9:53:19 PM)

Here lately I've had just about everybody on INT missions and that's because there's precious little combat going on that would need CS
and I've got 2 or 3 squadrons of P-38's on AS for contingencees and that leaves everybody else for INT and it's wrecking the German
war effort. Almost everything that moves on the German side gets some INT attention. I haven't seen very many German units
evaporating but it's a thing that does happen from time to time.

Here's the front lines on the West coast now:

larryfulkerson -> RE: Sicily to Brenner Pass Revised (1/1/2014 3:44:15 AM)

Here's how the West coast looks in T76: More and more Germans are showing up at the Arno River area. I may have to ship in some
more troops to hold the line here.
