Re: Promotion and the Stock Scenarios.

<t>Thx for your comment, Deeler.<br/> <br/> I have tried that, but none of Duhesme himself or the two brigade commanders seem to be able to get support from the cav. positioned on their right flank.<br/> <br/> I've tried asking for support on the right, on the left, and in the centre, but they only ...

Re: Promotion and the Stock Scenarios.

<t>Thx for replying, Jim.<br/> <br/> That's exactly what I have been doing.<br/> <br/> SPOILERS<br/> <br/> It seems that no matter how quickly and aggressively I advance on the church, once there I simply cannot get the Prussians out of the church quickly enough to be able to gain the victory points...

Re: Promotion and the Stock Scenarios.

<t>Me too (see my previous post about WL08)!<br/> <br/> Bored stiff of playing WL08 but don't want to walk away, because it's one of the last scenarios before I finish them all, and then there's nothing really left for me in SoW (offline only).<br/> <br/> I asked in my post, if someone, particularly...

Re: Windows 10

<t>Thx Saddletank.<br/> <br/> I did search the forum for a solution but perhaps didn't use the best search string.<br/> <br/> Anyway I took the opportunity to uninstall the Mtrix version and install the Steam version, which seems to work fine (although mods need to be re-installed).<br/> <br/> Still...

Windows 10

<t>Just upgraded to Win 10 (not entirely of my own volition, but that's another story), and it appears that SoWW doesn't work with Win 10.<br/> <br/> One scenario loads and then everything freezes.<br/> <br/> Another loads with big black patches everywhere and also freezes.<br/> <br/> Requires soft ...

Re: WL08 The Young Guard

<t>Thx for replying, Deeter.<br/> <br/> I've pretty much tried multiple iterations of just that strategy plus many others! 1 brigade along the right of the valley and the other along the left to attack the church.<br/> <br/> Arty in close support, often firing canister.<br/> <br/> Also tried whole d...

Re: SOW Waterloo on STEAM Now!!

<t>I have redeemed the Steam key via Slitherine, but should I install the game from Steam and uninstall the previous, non-Steam version?<br/> <br/> Will I lose all my settings, mods, high scores, etc. if I do that?<br/> <br/> Ultimately what is the point of using the Steam as opposed to the Matrix v...

WL08 The Young Guard

<t>Hi.<br/> <br/> Anyone else had problems winning this scenario?<br/> <br/> SPOILERS:<br/> <br/> I've played this through 20 times or so, and never got more than 943 points (2000 required for Major Victory, 1500 for Minor).<br/> <br/> The time limit of 30 minutes means you have to press hard, and t...
