Quite the place for a port...

Using ubuntu-mate 22.04 LTS and vanilla wine 8.20 (not proton), it works good for me. I did have to do 3 things to get things good... 1. fonts - I copied all the fonts from a windows install into the windows/fonts directory. 2. music - Had to install gstreamer1.0-libav:i386 for music to work. 3. sou...

<t> I had a game versus the AI, where by turn 20-something (and after several updates) the main screen would show one date, and the weather screen would have the next 2 dates, but not the same date as the main screen.<br/> <br/> However, the actual weather on the main map did appear to match the ear...

<t> I want to move (as Axis in 1941) a fighter group closer to the front. I can do so (in a cumbersome manner, and sometimes with unexpected results) with the UI. But sometimes, the air base does not get the necessary amount of supply, fuel, support etc. But the air group moves in anyways.<br/> <br/...

<t> I've been running WITE2 on Linux/Wine since release. The only issues I have seen are...<br/> <br/> 1. It crashes every time when you (a) load a new game or save, and (b) exit out of the scenario back to main menu, and (c) load (for the 2nd time) a new game or save. Judging from stack traces, etc...

<t> I got it running on ubuntu linux/wine. I did see a couple issues:<br/> <br/> - some unit icons are blank (ok on windows). I'd guess this might be a filename uppercase/lowercase issue.<br/> - got a crash when attacker was retreating from combat (AI retreats are ok). This could have been my error ...

<t> I believe the more routes available to a depot the better. For example, I opened a depot in Rezekne with 2 routes available - the main line up from Vilnius and a branch line to Riga. And it received a surprising amount of supplies - approximately 1/4 came from the Vilnius rail line, and 3/4 from...

A good friend's father was in one of the combat engineer regiments defending Elsenborn ridge, and he's still going strong at 96. His only comment was "It was f* cold".
