Re: Multiplayer scenarios by Cavehobbit

I just played Sovkhoz79 from both sides. And while I like the map, the scenario itself is unwinnable for the Soviets: the Germans overrun them every time; there's no play balance at all. The tail end of the Soviet reinforcement convoy is always shot up by the Germans, who enter immediately after th...

Re: Scenarios by Enric

So hmm… Did you, Enric, change the sight rules? Because I found that my units fired at other units that were three or four squares away, with no other unit possibly closer. That might explain what's going on.

Re: Scenarios by Enric

It's not a sight thing: once anyone is in range, they fire at them regardless of whether they've been told to hold fire or not. It's definitely not the same behavior in any other scenario. I saw this in one of the ERommel scenarios, too. What it means is that no one can ambush - if another unit is t...

Re: Scenarios by Enric

There's an odd bug with "Niscemi" - for some reason, none of my units in it can "hold fire," even if that option is selected: they take all shots they have, thus ruining any ambush possibility. This is kind of a fatal flaw. What's weird is that I've seen it before in another scen...

Re: Battle Academy on Steam

Ok, whew - I thought I was just being cranky there. But... I do have one more complaint: I always have to flail about on your site to find downloads, and lots of times there aren't active links to where you can get updates. Could you please be a bit more, well, methodical with that sort of stuff? A...

Re: Battle Academy on Steam

So wait: the fact that I wasn't able to login to the Multiplayer this morning because I "need the new version," does that mean that I now have to go download BA from Steam? And then I have to install Steam? Steam: I DESPISE Steam! It loads my system and demands to run constantly! It won't ...

Re: EROMMEL'S "WACHT AM RHEIN" CAMPAIGN

The filename that comes up when you download "https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/100 ... EIN_V2.LST" says it's "V1" - is that a typo?

Ditto for me: either "You must update" or "Unable to validate your details." ... Um, guys, this is getting kinda old.

Assaults: When "97%" doesn't mean "97%"

This has probably already been chewed over many times, but after hundreds of hours of BA I have to ask: Why the HELL do my assaults fail at a far higher rate than it would seem? An "86%" assault fails. A "97%" assault fails. FAILS. If it's going to fail 75% of the time, why don't...

Actually, and this is kind of perverse, but I've gotten used to it. Maybe a bit too much time spent on airplanes??

Re: Early Christmas Gift - Random Quick Battles!

Sorry to be obnoxious, but is anyone else having some odd problems with these scenarios? I tend to get two: 1) an inert A.I. opponent - they tend to just sit still until approached; and 2) on occasion, I can't get the computer to recognize that I've taken a victory point. I've even sat atop it and c...

Re: Game is in shadows (a texture problem?)

Nothing I can think of except for the update to Lion - but I did the same on other computers and it hasn't had an impact. Nor do other games have the same problem. … I guess you have no idea, sigh.

Game is in shadows (a texture problem?)

I have a Mid-2011 Macbook Air (1.8G processor, 4G memory, 348mb graphics). The game worked perfectly for a while, but suddenly it got an odd display problem: everything is in shadows. (See attached screen shot.) Is there a texture that's not loading? I've tried to delete and uninstall it, but I'm no...
