Thanks, I know that part but I meant the hexart.dat file specifically. Do you know what the purpose of that file is?

Overkill, how do you edit the hexart file? Looks like it's not just a text file. IDK if there's any documentation on that anywhere?

Hello, I was wondering if there's any documentation available on this topic. I know a few people have done map mods in the past. I'm specifically curious how I can edit the hexart.dat file and also how the different variants of each terrain category are used (for example, CLEAR has several dozen var...

<t> I think this has been discussed a lot before. In WITE 2 they went with the WITW-style map which isn't "hand drawn" per se, but drawn tile by tile. I agree the old one looks better and I'll miss my jison custom map, but IIRC this is a tradeoff they made because they can draw the map much more eff...

Nobody? So much Eastern Front knowledge on this forum...maybe it would be better if I posted this in a more general forum?

<t> Hello! Not a game question, but I'm curious what a typical distance would be on the Eastern Front between fronts. Maybe this varied quite a lot over time. Imagine a German infantry division is manning a stretch of front and opposite is a Soviet rifle division. How far apart would they generally ...

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone! Some great stuff here!

<t> I've recently moved and now I am lucky enough to have my own home space/office. Now I want to decorate it with a few great military history-themed paintings, the only constraint being that it should be (slightly) lesser-known work and campaigns. Not really looking for stuff on D-Day or Gettysbur...

Probably fake news Soviet propaganda. IRL they reported him killed in mid-1941.

Thanks for that link! Yeah obviously Eastern Front would be ideal, but anything from the period is helpful!

<t> I was wondering if anybody knows of somewhere online I can go to look at even just a few sample maps from this level. People have posted links to high-quality scans of the larger-scale Lage Ost maps in the past, but I'm looking for something smaller-scale that maybe a divisional or corps level H...

Nothing to see here, I seem to have resolved this myself somehow although I'm not sure what I did. I rebooted my machine for something unrelated, and now it seems to work.

<t> Installed the Steam edition the other day and can't seem to get the fonts at a reasonable size. It seems that this issue has been reported elsewhere, but none of the fixes discussed in the threads I've found (changing font scaling settings for high-DPI displays) seem to have any effect. I tried ...

<t> Interesting, thanks so much, yeah I did a quick search and was able to find the PDF free online. I will certainly check this out -- any books though other than these? I haven't done a ton of reading about this particular theater obviously, but my impression is that so much has been written about...

I'm looking for a highly detailed account, not an NYT bestseller with no detail on the operations. What I have in mind is the analogue of Glantz books for Overlord (or the whole of the western campaign 44-45). Does anything like this exist?

<t> WITP has some fictional scenarios in which Japan starts the war "more prepared", for a game that is a bit more balanced than the stock grand campaign. Has anything similar been produced for WITE? I realize I could accomplish this with some combination of changes to the scenario settings and/or e...

Interesting! I assume this is on Windows 10? Did you have to use any switches when running the game?

<t> Thought I would update since I tried this out. TLDR, it doesn't work. Aside from the convenience issues associated with just using the stylus, the game doesn't appear to work well on Windows 10 with stylus hover events. As far as I can tell, this is related to the game's longstanding issues with...

<t> Anybody play WITP AE on one of these? It's been a longstanding dream of mine to play my favorite 2D wargames on a tablet like this. I think it certainly has the horsepower, but I'm more concerned about usability. I don't know how easy/difficult it would be to play it with the pen and scrolling a...

Oh nice, why are there two numbers?
