larryfulkerson -> What are you playing now? (12/25/2017 7:18:09 PM)
I thought it would be an interesting tidbit of Matrix History to know what kinds of games are going on right now. I'm concentrating on my D21 game right now and I'm wondering how many other games of D21 are going on. What are you guys playing right now?

I got the Steve (sPzAbt 653) syndrome... I find myself thinking about creating scenarios/tutorials rather than actually playing them! :O Klink, Oberst

I can well imagine the fullfillment you guys get from building scenarios and have people actually like playing them. And saying so. Good for you.

I'm playing "Campaign for North Africa '40" (Italian start) as the Axis. I'm on turn two, and my valiant Italian troops are advancing (mostly) unopposed in Egypt. Alexandria lies just beyond the horizon... [:D]

You've stated that you're on turn two and you're advancing.....cool. I'd be one who would like to follow your progress. Any chance of an AAR?

You've stated that you're on turn two and you're advancing.....cool. I'd be one who would like to follow your progress. Any chance of an AAR? The Italians have (like it historically happened) a " grace period". They advanced in Egypt almost unopposed (the so-called "Graziani Offensive") before they were stopped cold by... uhm... themselves: having made their show of force so to keep Mussolini happy, the Italian Army built a line of fortified camps - mostly unable to support each other - and waited (the game forces you to advance by having to conquer three named objectives by turn 5). It was in Dec, 1940 that O'Connor launched his famous "Raid" and routed the Italian Army. Hadn't a good chunk of his forces been diverted to Greece (a very stupid move, as everybody could see even then), O'Connor could very well have kicked the Axis out of NA before the DAK could enter the fray. Sadly, I do not have the time to do an AAR. However, I'm curious to see if, as the Italians, I'll be able to do better and hold longer than the RL counterparts. [:)]

Bought the game last week and just now got time to play a bit. Was looking for a D-Day to Berlin scenario (and disappointed there isn't one included with the game) but stumbled upon Overlord 44 while I was looking and am going to give it a try as Germany. Love the scale and the map on this one.

Cutting my teeth on "The Triumph Of The Eagle-Jena and Auerstaedt 1806" scenario by Ryuk and Largo.

Lots of converting and tweaking of pre TOAW IV scenarios going on, as you may have noticed [:D] My "Saves" folder currently contains the following American Front 1914 Entente PO 5.sal Playing as the US Berlin 1945 12.sal Playing as the Germans Italian East Africa 1941 Pizza Force 11.pbl ...that's the Italians of course

jacktimes2 -> RE: What are you playing now? (12/25/2017 9:37:40 PM)
Hm, I assumed it did, but now I am curious myself. I have the scenario open in the editor, is there a quick way to check which database is being used? I just bought the game a couple of weeks ago, (my first TOAW iteration, I know, I know), and don't really know my way around at all yet.

Most 19th century (and before) scenarios use that database If the Graphics Override folder contains a folder with the same name as the scenario you want to play, then it will most likely contain a modded database of some kind and/or modded terrain graphics

I've got folders that hold the files I produce. I'm working on my D21 game right now. When I get bored with that or need a break for some other reason I can work on one of my other games. There's also, periodically, a PBL file that the PBEM++ system writes but I keep deleting it. Thanks for all the scenaros you're producing. You're a golden community asset.

quertice -> RE: What are you playing now? (12/26/2017 12:06:59 AM)
This is my first toaw, I've just finished kasserine as axis side and now I'm playing South front 1942 still as axis, I'm having a great fun saving von Paulus's army therefore changing history, despite it's not a real challenge as playing versus ai In future I'll try directive 21 for sure

Curtis Lemay -> RE: What are you playing now? (12/26/2017 1:27:54 AM)
I'm testing my "Shiloh 1862" scenario. (The one that shipped with the game was created so late that it went out the door untested other than PO vs. PO). I'm on my fourth trial. The three aborts so far have each triggered significant changes. But I think I'm about there with the latest.

The TGW scenario was a play on the DNO scenario in that tgw stands for Three German Words. And your scenario idea about nato, nukes, and nazi's sounds like a cool idea. Good luck.

What are you guys playing right now? warspite1 I'm considering another Campaign for North Africa 1940-43 - switching sides to play the Axis - although another option would be to remain as the CW and just see if I can learn from previous mistakes. If I go the former route I will do an AAR.

larryfulkerson -> RE: What are you playing now? (12/26/2017 6:15:54 AM)
I'd like to see either situation, the way you do AAR's.

actually Directive 21, turn 11 soon Finns will activate 5 hexes to reach Smolensk & Kiev
