Is there a way to determine if enemy radar is active straight from the screen (IE without selecting the units one by one and looking in the detail tab)? In particular I'm in Ralf's Pason wings of steel (#4?) and have considerable problem dealing with HARM attacks. Planes inevitable fly in without loosing off weapons but instead get shot down at about 30 mile from target (which I assume means that some ones radar is working). (Currently using 3.9.4 from UE package.) Don

Rec'd this today after saving a game then attempting to reopen it; FATAL ERRROR Attempted to create an event of unknown type: 54 Anyone know what this is and how to resolve it?

I'm pleased to see that a number of people are downloading my scenarios. I would be grateful if people who are trying them out would take a few minutes to provide feedback on them, too, either in the form of star ratings in the downloads section, or comments in one of the scenario discussion threads, or issue reports if there are any problems that have to be corrected, or full After Action Reports. The more I hear back from people, the more I can do to revise existing scenarios and to make any future scenarios better. Thanks! I look forward to your comments.

There is a section at the bottom for weapons quantity per store position. All locations except CL are duplicated (EG Fus1 would have 2x the number of weapons listed on this sheet because there are TWO fus1 pylons.)

File Name: Naval units graphic sheets File Submitter: Steve Caruthers File Submitted: 11 Mar 2015 File Category: Tools/Docs When I run a strategy game, I always need to have in front of my eyes, the situation, the development, the progress of the results, the forces available, the weapons range and, at the end, a full report with statistics of the weapons fired, hits, miss etc. This is why I always help with prepared paper documents, that are of immediate consultation and do not require laborious navigation through the menus of the games to find the information you seek. As for Harpoon, whenever I decide to play a scenario, I first analyze the order of battle of …

Hi Folks, Is there a way to change the range circles on the formation editor? Sometimes when I open it 's set for a few miles - others - for a couple hundred... I haven't been able to identify any rhyme or reason to it... Obviously - a couple mikes doesn't work when setting up a CAP flight... Regards, Scott

After designing a scenerio and returned to play it, the game shows all the enemy units, the enemy units paths and does not show any missions that were made in the scenerio editor. Also Blue side cannot attack any Red side units. Message states no enemy units or contacts selected. Any ideas on what happened? Thanks, Steve

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I figure people should know about it. A detailed discussion of possible game engine issues for the mostly recently released version of H3 ANW appears at... http://www.armchairgeneral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=95217 These may or may not affect the HUD-4 database, and may or may not be accurate, but I figured it made sense to alert Gunny and others to what a certain person claims to have observed. If nothing else, it may help identify whether certain issues are game engine issues or related specifically to the HUD-4.

Am I correct that there isn't much instruction in the manuals for actual game play, just all the warfare theory (which is valuable)? Little problems seem to stop me from playing 'successful' games (IE having fun), my current problem relates to helo ASW game play. I send a helo to attack a sub contact (eg PASON #3 (ASW/ASUW) HUD3 db), it goes so far then hovers outside of the uncertainty area, the unit status window says its 'waiting' but never seems to get a trigger to proceed further. It seems to make no difference as to how I attack, select the helo and use F1, select the sub and use F6, use the mission editor (no shortcut key?), the same result. I can't find any s…

I've thrown together a program to allow you to edit some of the Text RES files from H2/3. It was mainly built to edit HARPTEXT.RES and CONTEXT.RES. It will also successfully edit any of the other RES files with TEXT in their name. At some point I may expand it to allow editing of the TUTORIAL.RES file and a couple of others. Grab the file at: http://www.harpgamer.com/utils/HGH3ResText_v.1.0.0.0.exe Let us know what doesn't work and what should work better. I understand it is rather basic...
