You said Gibson was out of business. It is not out of business. All I said was "Gibson is NOT out of business (2019 models are up!)." So why are you trying to make it personal?

For the same reason you have to question everything I say!
You were not questioned. Misinformation was corrected. It's not all about you.

Again, it's (still) not all about you. It can't be plainer than that, so *PLONK*

Greetings Freyr Oakenshield,
I have been playing small & medium size scenarios as German vs Poland or Russia AI and as Poland or Russia vs German AI. (6 scenarios so far)
I have used novice, level 1 & level 2. Also reduced LOS to 3,000 m for speed up in turns. I could get wins from either German or Polish/Russian side but some were close shaves, probably because I am still learning the system. Sometimes my German motorcycle troops get chewed up by Poles/Russians during movement. I like the smoke/dust effects on the map view and zoom in view. Mortars & artillery are effective in attack & defense.

I have not had any game freezes or crashes but turns are slower/longer in medium scenarios, even with LOS reduction.
I plan to try the scenarios again playing both sides hotseat to see if results/playability is better/same/worse.
But that will have to wait until I finish grading online astronomy labs and online homework so not until next week at the earliest.

Hope this keeps the thread on track and stays open

Greetings to All,
For those interested/curious, Tigers Unleashed comes with 6 tutorials and 36 premade scenarios from 1939-1942.

1939: 5 scenarios for invasion of Poland (small, medium & large size)
1940: 1 scenario for invasion of Finland by Soviets (medium size)
1941: 14 scenarios for invasion of Russia (small, medium & large size)
1942: 16 scenarios for further invasion of Russia (small, medium & large size)-->TIGERS appear & on the prowl!

Manuals can be seen at Scenario Design Center website under Spotlights menu for HPS misc titles.
Note that they are for TSS series using Point of Attack game screens shots but much applies to Tigers Unleashed as well.

I still get EEFFACE errors sometimes; and when I do manage to set up a scratch scenario correctly, the defender never fires at all? Guess I will re-install it again

I have not seen those errors with the new patch, but who knows?

If you don't plan on using the editor, I personally would not purchase this game for the asking price. It's all about test tube/sandbox situations, imo.

Greetings pkpowers,
I was able to select map for new scenario from scratch and did not get an error. I was glad to see that scenario creation is fairly straight forward with lots of options and settings to choose from.
Did you uninstall and remove registry keys with autility such as CCleaner (free version) and then do a clean install?
Perhaps someone in the forum thread can offer some advice?

The chat here about TU got me motivated to try some more of the old TotP and i guess what i find to be biggest difference is that the scenario map in is much smaller and restricted to a rectangular corridor and i dont know if that can be changed -i guess bigger maps with more units might be too much for games calculations to handle

That is very frustrating experience for you pkwpowers. I have Scott Hamilton's email and if you PM me, I will give it to you if you need it. You really should get some support on this, and Scott does do the best he can.

Also, Wodin may have suggestions and I must defer to him on contacting Scott to be fair.

But let's see if they can get your problem solved.

Greetings Rosseau & pkpowers,
In speaking with HPS support they said that Scott is dealing with medical issues so contacting wodin would be the best course.
