RE: Field Marshal von Fogger vs Comrade Marshal Fulkerson
Help,
I have had major computer problems and had to reform my hard disk. Then reloading my software. Oh how I hate vista. I have reloaded TOAW but when I move the mouse to a hex I keep getting a green box with the location and so information about the box. I would like to turn it off but do not remember how I did it in the past.
Thanks
John

I get the same thing with Wndows 8. I've never seen it before either. I'd like to turn it off also but don't know how. Right now I try to ignore it.

I think you might get that green box to be a thing of the past with these two tool tip settings. I experimented with itORIGINAL: fogger

so that it would come on after 100 seconds after the mouse quits moving and then closes after just 1/100 seconds.
That's the theory.

Oh no dear readers.......I have some bad news. The ice over the lake has melted and stranded my units on the wrong side of the
Lake. D'oh. And they have no supply and so it's just a matter of time before John destroys them. I'm going to have to sue for
peace.

RE: Field Marshal von Fogger vs Comrade Marshal Fulkerson
I received another turn from John and he said in his email something about doing some airfield strikes and got creamed....so of course
I had to take a look at the air war display. Wow, losses galore. And I can afford the losses in aircraft than John can....that's the theory.
He says he's not going to do that again real soon. The ground war is arty strikes and air pounding mostly and very little movement in
the lines. I'm waiting for John to attack me somewhere so I can do a grand counterattack.

RE: Field Marshal von Fogger vs Comrade Marshal Fulkerson
Attached is my reported aircraft losses. In one attack Larry had over 1,500 in defence. I lost 100% of the attacking force.
Also lake P Larry has the 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 8th, 9th guards divisions 4 Inf (50th,281,298 & 254) div's 2 tank (101 & 110) 3 tank bde's (2nd & 122 and an unknown)plus one MP regt and a ski Bde from the 4th shock army in a pocket. I have already destroyed 2 inf Div's at 122,90 which has sealed the fate of the force on the west side of Lake P..
In the lake P area I have id hex 123,91 as the GTI. I almost lost it in one attack. It was only held by 1 inf regt at the end of one of Larry's attacks. If Larry had kept up the attacks he may have been able to open a line of retreat.
The mud will come soon and then I will be able to move some of my forces around and prepare for spring / summer. The question will be where to attack? Do i need to attack?

RE: Field Marshal von Fogger vs Comrade Marshal Fulkerson
Oh no........John has broken through my front lines near Leningrad. And I don't have a reserve handy. I'll have to try to rail in some
troops to contain it but I think it's too late. It's not looking good you guys.

Odd, but I don't see a lot of armor or mech in John's attack forces. Hard to tell exactly because I don't know what is underneath, but it's not leading the advance.

RE: Field Marshal von Fogger vs Comrade Marshal Fulkerson
John has had a bit of a computer problem and he had to do a lot of hassle to get back online and then we found several turns wouldn't
load into TOAW so we're having to drop back to a previous turn and go from there. Here's how the air war is going now:

Remember that force I had across the lake? John has attacked and destroyed it. All of it. And now the game continues.

Another possible bug. The two Cmdo units that have been destroyed are not in the list of units to reconstruct.

RE: Field Marshal von Fogger vs Comrade Marshal Fulkerson
Just to give an update on where we are. I had a more than a few computer problems and for unknown (?) reasons had to drop back from turn 77 to 72.
Larry has suffered a major set back with the force trapped on the wrong side of Lake P. This has resulted in Larry having his own Stalingrad. I was able to destroy about 20 units. This then allow me to form ay reserve of 2 panzer divisions and 4 inf divisions. With this force I then attacked in the Narva area north of Lake P with the result that I have been able to push Larry back over the Luga river and capture the bridge at Kingisepp and form another pocket. There appear to be only 2 units between my lead elements and Leningrad.

Up north-east of Leningrad I have also been able to pocket another 14-15 units. Once these units have been destroyed I will have a force that can then move on Archangelsk or at least faint an attack in that area.

Mean while down on the Kiev front I have been able to push Larry back from the Dnepr river and in the process destroyed another 6 very weak divisions in a pocket that I was very lucky to form.

No bug. Units with the special forces icon do not reconstitute (Manual, 9.1.8 Replacements).

RE: Field Marshal von Fogger vs Comrade Marshal Fulkerson
Here's a closeup of the area near Leningrad where John has made a significant breakthrough. I'm going to have to back up and try to
form another line if I can manage to stay in front of John's advance. He may have some mobile units in that horde and he might do a
wrap-around on my lines and then I'm in trouble. This is just one of the many places that are in trouble. I'll post some more of them.

Here's another place where I'm in trouble. The reserve for situations like this is non-existant and so John is in a position to make this the
beginning of the end.
