Re: Need help reinstalling PC 2

I think you have to go to your 'My Page' and download it from there.
PS- I'm an 'older gamer' too (75), but I take comfort from knowing that Bear Grylls and Ed Stafford and other "born survivors" have got years to go before they catch up to us..:)

Small game recommendations needed

Is it just me who wishes some games were small, fast affairs? I must be getting old, but I honestly avoid big massive complex games that do my head in. I remember the glory days of boardgaming when SPI produced a series of 'Folio Games' which comprised a small map with low unit count and could be pl...

Re: Setany cheats question

Yeah guys, it reverts to green after our turn, it never sticks at Frozen.
The only way to make it stick is if we create a scenario in the Editor and set the weather in there, but that all takes time to do, grrr..

Setany cheats question

Apparently the list of setany cheats only apply to the human players current turn, for example in the random mission generator I can type 'setany weather' or 'setany ground state' to get a dramatic white winter snowscape map, but next turn i find the map has reverted back to grassy green, grrrr...

Within the game, yes.

Re: Camo list

Question- Sometimes there's a clash of camo such as both sides being sandy yellowish etc and difficult on the eyeballs to tell one side from the other, so is there a way to change ALL units to say grey or green all at once with ONE click of the "choose camo" listing? PS- I'm a big fan of t...

Re: Weather options in Random generator?

Yeah thanks but as far as i can tell we can only do that to get Snow in the Editor.
Is there a way to also get Snow in the Random Mission generator?

Any modern unit mods?

Hi, i've been away from PC2 for a couple of years and I'm just wondering if any modern unit mods (infantry, tanks, planes etc) have been released in my absence, such as the Cold War, and Russia vs Ukraine etc that we can slot into the Editor to create modern scens?

Thanks to the magic of the Editor we can create our own scens like this US Marines vs Japs which took me about 15 minutes to build-

Weather options in Random generator?

There seems to be no way to set a white snowscape for dramatic winter battles or am I missing an option somewhere? I thought I'd cracked it by using the 'setany ground_state Snow' cheat, but it reverts back to green after my turn (sniffle). How can I make the ground stay white for both sides turns f...

Random scen generator?

Does OOB have a random scenario generator like Panzer Corps 2, or do we have to play the same scens over and over?

Re: Are there any pbm scenarios available besides the ones that come with the game

A dev said 7 months ago that they were thinking of creating a PC2 forum sub-section where we could put our homemade scens for download by the community, but as far as i know they haven't got round to it yet.

And remember, scenario and campaign designers are in the habit of tweaking things without warning us, so that combat results and gameplay often look strange..;)

Re: Where is the balance?

Play it again but let your friend be the first turn player..:) That's what 1 v 1 players often do with other wargames, it's called a "mirror game" and the scores of each game result are added up to determine the winner. Example- In the first game you're first player, suppose you score 10 p...

Re: Camostyles do not work properly

You'll want to lynch me for saying so, but most of us play zoomed out and the infantry are so small that their uniforms can't be seen anyway, so infantry camo is not really an issue in my opinion and I'd rather the devs spend their valuable time working on other things..:)

Re: How come tanks aren't a ....

Tanks and AT guns are direct fire weapons meaning they've got line-of-sight on the enemy, and the enemy has got line of sight on them, so the enemy can immediately retaliate which is realistic. Artillery on the other hand are indirect fire weapons and can lob their shells from behind cover where the...

PC2 disk buying puzzle

Hi, I bought PC2 by download last year and now want to buy the disk but I don't understand the checkout screen. Look, the disk should only cost me £10, but when I click to buy it, it also adds the current £15.99 download cost to it and wants to charge me £25.99. Like I said, I already bought the dow...

Re: Boxed copies delay

Suppose I wanted to buy a physical disk (eg Panzer Corps 2), would it only be the initial release version?
After installing it, I'd still have to download all the subsequent updates from Slth/Matrix wouldn't I?
