Re: My Anniversary Coupons

But to confuse things more, I set up a purchase of a game I had no intention of buying and plugged in old coupon codes, and my 2017 coupon rang me up a 47% discount after 22, 21, 20, 19, and 18 were rejected as already having been used. I don't intend to use it, but it does appear that old unused co...

Unfortunately, the coupon doesn't appear on 'My Page' until either you use it, or I assume activate it. No email, no coupon.
Ah. Okay. I think I understand now.

Re: My Anniversary Coupons

I don't recall having to do anything to activate the coupon. I just saved the coupon code and then copy/pasted it when Southern Storm became available Nov. 17 and I bought it. I also didn't know that the coupons were recorded in the My Page section until I read the email before mine. It seems like M...

Re: My Anniversary Coupons

The email for mine specifically said "valid 30 days from nov 1". Made good use of it, getting Southern Storm and the new WITE 2 DLC.

What a brilliant game.

I came back to this game this week after a long time away in anticipation of the Oceania DLC and have been reminded what a brilliant game it is. It is like a mix of Advanced Tactics and Vic's other games but also Civilization, Victoria 2, Europa Universalis IV, some of the AGEOD games including Fiel...

Re: Scenarios not Showing

Same happened to me. Scenarios not showing, campaigns showing and opening. I followed the copy/paste instructions and everything seems to be fine now. I can open and play scenarios.

In beta I played one game as the CSA in which I got the British to intervene. Now that was very interesting.

Re: Partisan's need to be gone

A few thoughts. First, just like the other SC games with partisans, if you hit the P key you can see where they are going to spawn and put a brigade or even a regiment if you have some remaining there to keep them from spawning. THey become an annoyance. As to the real impact partisans had in differ...

Re: new orleans

This is indeed a problem of the AI in the 1861 scenarios. In the 1862 scenario, the Union AI starts with an attack on New Orleans, and it later scenarios of course New Orleans is already in Union hands. I wonder if it would help the AI if frigates could move up the Mississippi at least as far at New...

Re: Possible War Map Idea

We were working like little beavers trying to construct something. 😁 I wonder if something similar could be implemented with the Zoom Out view also? Using the Major Rivers as orientation is ok, but having at least the State Lines would be very helpful also. Adding a splash of mountain or rough terr...

Re: Recent articles on contemporary logistics in wargames

Interesting. I've been playing a lot of Strategic Command lately. I just finished as a beta tester for SC ACW and have at the same time been playing a game of SC War In Europe. And as I read your posts I started thinking how the often criticized no stacking rules in the SC games often result in traf...

Yes, it is the top promotion on both the Matrix and Slitherine main pages, but the game forum is hidden.

...to just another subforum in the Strategic Command series forum, just one day after release? I can't figure out the reasoning for that. It is unusual and as best I can remember, totally out of line with how other new releases are treated. I asked that question on the SC ACW forum, but thought here...

of this forum one day after release? That doesn't make sense to me. It will be hard for some to find it buried now as a subforum of the Strategic Command forum. :?: :?: :?:

We definitely need hexes instead of squares.
