Railway guns were great at destroying forts and okay at firing into big cities, but they were lousy at taking out the enemy units that are typically represented in these games.Ĥ. Artillery units in these SSI games are battalions or brigades, consist of rapid fire heavy artillery able to lay down a lot of destructive power in very short periods of time, and are, in fact, the deadliest of all weapons in WWII - yup, more than planes, trains or automobiles, tanks, or infantry.ģ. But remember that a unit would typically be perhaps one railway gun firing one huge shell about every hour or so (or something much slower than one every 30 seconds). The attack values, based on gun bore alone should theoretically be huge. They should be classified as forts so that they can't be purchased by the player.Ģ.
Other railway guns were smaller and thus more tactical in useage, but I don't know how to model those. These (really big) railway guns were typically set up once and then not moved for a while. Movement should be 0 or very limited (like 1). Anyone know how to fix this? - ArondarĪ: If you copied the MAP folder with all it's content to your PANZER2 folder, you should remove the "ReadOnly" marking on all the MAP*.SHP files here. Q: I can't view the mabs and if i try to hit strategic map i crash to desktop. I have done this and it works perfectly! - JWF0603 Change the properties of the PG shortcut in the start menu to run using the windows 95 compatability layer.Set the properties of this shortcut to run using the Windows 95 compatability layer.You will need to visit the Microsoft site and download the compatability patches first.
Great News!! You CAN install under Win2K. Just install the package and reboot, then create a shortcut to SETUP.EXE, set the Compatibility tab to Windows 98 and presto - PacGen installs just like that.
Win2K has an update called Application Compatibility Update, and it can be used to run any progtam under Win9X compatible settings. Q: Some of my games are no longer working with Windows 2000 or Windows XP?Ī: Re: PacGen installation on Win2K: Actually, I found a solution. That's what I had to do to get PacGen to install on XP. You can use the compatability setting on "setup.exe". Note that Panzer General II seems to run okay with Win 95 setting. Go back into XP and use the compatibility wizard and change it to run under windows 95 with no visual themes. I found a way to play on windows xp and so far have not experienced any problems.ĭownload the game in DOS:(go to the DOS command prompt, type your CD drive, type setup.exe). If you would like to have your real name used, then please let me know. I have used the original pen-names instead of getting real names since it was easier to do so. These questions are related to various aspects to more than one of the games, as opposed specific games, some of which have their own FAQs now.
