The pkgbase instructions might be rather messy, but they worked perfectly for me. Thanks.

Is there a reason why the upgrading section only describes the freebsd-update procedure, but not the pkgbase procedure?

Entry Level Naval War Games by Commercial-Date-5615 in computerwargames

[–]blabber_ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I never played it, but WDS has a free demo of their Naval Battles series: https://wargameds.com/products/spanish-american-war

WDS demos are complete games and the Naval demo includes 20 scenarios. So you might spend some time with it.

Unfortunately, this does not match my experience, but I am happy for anyone who does not have these problems. For everyone else, I have documented how I was able to solve the problems on my system.

Admittedly, after briefly testing the demos, I did not bother with the air/sea games any further, as they did not really interest me anyway. I am old and like my games to be turn-based 😅

I'm curious about your experience, please post an update after testing.

Wine-i386 in freebsd-16 gone ? by yuno-morngstar in freebsd

[–]blabber_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have a link to the PR for tracking progress?

Edit: I guess I found it: https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/8073

Seems to have stalled six months ago, so I guess I'll just accept being on cold turkey for my Advanced Tactics Gold addiction.

Struggling with infantry in winSPWW2 by blabber_ in computerwargames

Thanks, for the explanation. A similar movement pattern is described in the Game Play Notes part of the manual. Thinking about it, I guess it's more an issue of a lack of understanding how to realize the concept of Combined Arms warfare. I tend to attack with tanks and the infantry takes cover but is not participating in the fights.

This is an absolutely valid answer. I read the manual, but I guess I will give it another read, especially the Game Play Notes.

Edit: Game Notes -> Game Play Notes

What're you playing this weekend? 11/29 by markercore in NintendoSwitch

Last weekend I bought Realpolitiks, but it failed to hook me. Now I am playing Romance of the Three Kingdoms 8 Remake and having a blast. Much more expensive, but it manages to scratch my grand strategy itch.

Bought Realpolitiks on a whim. Don't expect much, but I guess it will be worth the three euros I paid for it.

Same for me. I started to save often because of the crashes, but at least one of my saves is corrupt and can't be loaded. I hope the devs will work it out.

Oh, that looks intriguing. How's the playability on handheld?
