Thanks!

all planes must be landed at the end of the movable part of your turn (NCM)… otherwise they are lost… note they cannot be sent on suicide runs(as in moving them there max move without a friendly landing place)… they cannot be lost unless they were goingto land on a now sunk carrier 8) …

hope it helps

The game does freeze your comp. occasionly and it sometimes right when your about to win :evil: ! Don’t know why it does it but there are “pathes” to fix it…

Yes i’m having the familiar directplay error problem but PLEASE bear with me!

Here’s the deal: I’ve patched. I’ve tackled the dplayx.dll problem in more ways than one (delete and overwrite). I’ve checked that i have directx9 and updated it. i’ve updated windows 98. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled many times. I’ve even bought another game. I’ve opened all my firewall ports. ALL TO NO AVAIL. i cannot play on the zone or thru a ip game with a friend. I STILL GET THE DIRECTPLAY ERROR!

This has become my white whale and an obsession. If anyone helps I will send them gifts.

God help me.

@Zhukov_2003:

Yes but you must own both AES & Persia to do so.

you mean Syria-Iraq, not Persia…

I think you need to uninstall Direct X 9.0 and get 8.0

Thanx for the simplication GG, when i was posting that i read it over and thought hopefully some one will understand that mess.

and it costs 5 IPC’s

Perfect!

come to Round beginning and everyone roll Tech’s

and do or die everyone :wink:

1 white chip = 1 additional unit of whatever type is placed on top of it. An example would be a fighter unit on 3 white chips is 4 fighters(often written 4 ftr or 4 ftrs).

1 red chip = 5 additional units of whatever type is placed on top of it. An example would be an infantry unit on 2 red chips is 11 infantry(often written 11 inf). Heh-heh!

Unless you buy extra pieces, on eBay fer example, you will have to limit your countries that you have forces in.

You might also check out your local rag tag hobby/toy store, Goodwill or other second hand shops.

Only in aap and aae can a fighter attack a bomber doing a SBR but other fighters can escort the bomber.

If memory serves me correct, there are more bugs in A&A:Iron Blitz than there were in the original. Yeah, go figures… :-?

Sorry, I can’t help either…

I’m not sure how to fix the lags; however, if you save frequently (like every turn) – then, once it starts to lag … exit the entire game – then, reopen it and load it back up. This will temp. fix it (until it starts to lag again). Sorry, that’s all the advise that I can give … but, does anyone else know a better remedy to this lagging effect???

@StrongBad1988:

the way i play is that the attacker is the one who just placed the units into the seazone, but i’m not really sure what the official rules say.

no - placing new units is well after the attack phase. Basically the battle begins on the sub-owner’s next attack phase - unless he moves it out of combat into another combat. If the sub is there until the factory owner’s next attack phase, THEN they attack it
or so i believe.

First off, i agree with Big Blocky. He’s right. You don’t go very offensively as Russia, but pick up the odd dead zone if it is offered to you. You want a buffer between the German front line and Caucasus if you can get it - if only to slow down the tanks.
Also it is a major pain for the allies to take (and retake) Eastern Europe. Rather than just land troops on West Eu which is a turn for the US - this move requires 2 turns for the US. It also makes boats more vulnerable to German planes. What i mean is that it takes a while to do anything on the mainland outside of west EU. Also i generally leave Manchuria alone. Unless it’s an easy pick with few expected losses, you’re simply spreading out your forces.
If you want to see some good strat as Russia - check out the games section and look in on a game where Darth Maximus or Kobu (both) or Big Blocky are playing, and generally you’ll pick up some good early moves.

I run XP and have no issues with A&A at all. I would suggest a couple of things:

1. Make sure you cdrom drive you play the game from is on DMA mode and not PIO mode.

2. Upgrade to the latest Direct X package.

3. Make sure you are using the most current drivers for your video card.

Those are all standard answers I know but you just can’t be too sure. Does this do this in any other games or programs or just A&A?

Have you been able to play on the MSN Gaming Zone with directx9.0 using the technique you describe?

Happy to be of service…
