Status: offline 		Playing with my friend and Germany invading France through Maginot-line. One French militia was killed and another one was shattered. We were not sure if it goes to any city or "own" city. It kind of matters, because one of those militia was from Dakar. So we saved the game, shattered Dakar militia and ended turn. I went went "quickly" through all and of turn stages and found out that Dakar militia goes to Dakar. So I loaded the game and some how save was broken, I was not able to continue play.

What next? I reloaded from auto save "Land combat resolution" and played again 3 combats as many times as needed to get same results. Including one combat with roll 4. You might quess that I had to load and roll those combats few times ;)

And now we are ready to continue...

Edit: BTW, the next time this happens wouldn't you be better off shattering the other unit?

Set die rolls? Is this a joke or how/where can I choose that? Hope it's not a joke and I learn something important today :)

We are playing Solitaire using screen share over internet.

Status: offline 		Thanks WarHunter. I think it defaults to on for Solitaire though (just now tried it with a new game - although it's possible my interface settings have it on and they always override).

Correct.

But you also have to have set the Player Interface variable to enable setting die rolls.

Note that the values for the Player Interface Settings are for the 'computer', and stay the same for all scenarios and all Modes of play - unless of course you change them.

Status: offline 		Too much oil! starting the global war game in a hotseat game, I built both synth oils right off the bat with germany. Arghhhh mistake. I finally did kill off France, but without troops I could only pull off 1-2 attacks per impulse. I simply had to let great opportunities go by to fill the line on a few key attacks. The problem was only made worse by dreadful rolls on Warsaw and a brilliant counterattack on the advancing troops in France. Needless to say, I was thankful when France fell, but the the German Army is tiny and a 41 barbarossa is unthinkable.Ohh and all my bf 109 Es were killed in France, so my pilots are a strength 3 fighter and a single bf 110. Not a great start. It could be a short war.

Status: offline 		The other day I switched back to Warhunter's lovely Khaki in Flames Mod.

Here is what it looks like in my current game;


This is global control as of the start of May/Jun 1943.
Yes, I know. Its a bit out of control.
We're going to see if we can invade the USA. At the moment Manstein has just launched an offensive in the south of the Russian front, and utterly shattered what I thought was quite a good line.
The aim of the operation will be to sieze the Caucasus, get Turkey onto the Axis' side and relieve the pressure in Iraq, where the Soviets are tearing up the Axis (but that is the only place where the Allies are winning).

I'm still not game to try the oil rules (perhaps next time).

Hope the dice are going your way, regards all
