Doomtrader,
Thanks for the reply as to looking at my saved games to help fix those nasty CTD's. I tried SWiE first thinking that playing it would help me learn the game mechanics easier but it is flawed because the USSR is not modeled properly. In several games as Switzerland starting in 1939 and 1941 I saw the Soviet AI always lost. I tried playing the USSR from 1939 and saw that the War Economy percentage was too low in the 7/41 turn compared to the 1941 setup, about half. Even when I cranked the Soviet AI up to Very Easy with everyone else at normal it actually surrendered to Germany. Unlike ToF SWiE doesn't have the Siberian troops coming in nor any kind of initial war extra troops for the 1941 German invasion.
I think ToF has potential to be an excellent game once the CTD's are fixed. When I first saw that ToF was compared to Hearts of Iron I thought no way I'll buy the game. Instead I discovered that ToF is more like Decision Game's computer War in Europe, the computerized version of the great old Strategic Simulations Inc. War in Europe monster board game. ToF is more like cWiE with a much improved, detailed air and naval system. I found that Hearts of Iron and Making History were the two worst excuses for WW2 strategic war games.
I hope that a new patch comes out soon which will fix most, if not all, CTD's. Nothing worse than investing many hours playing a game to have it lock up with a fatal CTD that can't be worked around. I'll just putz around watching the AI's play while I goof off as Switzerland.
