Re: 2.3 and Win 11

Hmm, that's an oddity. Maybe try installing it in a different location? Trying turning off your anti-virus? Do you have any other CSME installs on the system? Its a fresh install of Windows so no remains of anything. Its installed to the default of c / Matrix games etc etc.. Along with other Matrix...

2.3 and Win 11

Hi guys, I installed 2.30 ( fresh install with full installer 2.30 d/l from Slitherine on Windows 11 64bit )

The menu screen will launch but when play is selected it just shuts down, no error or anything and wont launch the game
I looked in the logs folder and no logs were generated.

Any ideas?

Re: Age of Rifles and Great Naval Battles coming soon on GOG

Just a heads up in case you have missed it. Wargame Construction Set III - Age of Rifles along with its campaign disk will be coming soon on GoG (along with volumes 1 + 2 but I do not know if anyone cares about those). Furthermore, a Great Naval Battles package will be released which will contain a...

It also is the only Steel Panthers that works on modern O/S without any tricks or gimmicks, and its also the only version of Steel Panthers that is still supported...

Re: Looking for decent combat rules for boardgame in WW2

I dont know if this helps, but I liked Avanced Tabruk System ATS, I used ASL for years and when I went to ATS it really cut the Rules work and it has all WW2 units you could wish for. I find Lock N Load more Movie like than ATS, not saying thats bad thing, but I really liked ATS , Been testing out ...

Re: Which core game do you think the CS Legion should do next? - Pick two

All for the Cold War, as others have have posted, there is enough Ww2 content in JTCS to keep one busy for a long time. I’d like to see ww1 as an official title someday too!

Re: This new tactical WW2 game looks promising

I like the terrain graphics a lot, but the flat nato symbols don’t seem to to go well with it. The scope of three nations for 39-45 seems a little limited, perhaps GB should have been used instead of the US? For now I have rediscovered SpWw2 after a long break from all things w2, and loving it.

Re: A Moral Question about WW2

So Hitler was a military adventurer in many ways, not so different than Napoleon or Attila or Alexander the Great except scale of horrors. As such I think there was a morale failing to nip it in the bud when there was a chance. Easier said than done considering the traumatizing effect of ww1. Who wa...

Re: A Moral Question about WW2

It was the European Union council before how to get rid of "populist leaders" pressure or not to pressure. Hungary is the prime example, similarly Romania was 'badboy' in Soviet Union. I look forward American&Chinese power struggle in near future. 'Free world 'against so called commun...

Re: A Moral Question about WW2

I would guess that Hitler's plans for Lebensraum and a New Order weren't going to stop at the Danzig Corridor. It is a stronger argument that England and France allowed all of the 'untold human suffering' by not stopping Hitler earlier. We face the same thing today with portions of the free world p...

Re: Where is everybody? Off to Ukraine?

There are a quite a few forums out there where a reasonable amount of informed and open minded discussion about the conflict and the rather long history preceding it, is taking place. After thumbing thru a couple pages of the above, imho it’s not one of them.

Re: Best game to simulate current conflict in Ukraine?

It’s not really clear at all why the op does not think Steel Panthers MBT would not fit the bill. The AI IMHO was decent, scenario, map campaign editors and also random, and it’s free!

Re: Turn Length

Keep in mind, the original series (JTCS) claimed to be 6 minutes per turn. Careful analysis of any scenario would reveal that was not the case. 15 minutes makes more sense, but is not stringent for every scenario, as stated above. Note the typical time frame between a scenario like Bootcamp 1 and &...
