  1. If you ignore the attack then, unless it is a strongly defended island, you will almost certainly lose it. The enemy carrier tends to run away when you head for the island it is attacking so just by heading there you have prevented the loss.

    To defend resource / manufacturing islands place defense islands next to them - if you have 2 defense islands next to a resource / manufacturing island then it will change it's defense strength from "WEAK" to "VERY STRONG", which at worst should really slow the enemy carrier down, if not stop it from automatically capturing your island(s). Also if you have defense islands together they will go from "STRONG" to "DEADLY", again much much harder to take - ideal for a stockpile location.

    This has to be one of the most useful posts yet. I was realy struggling to understand the tactics of the strategy game.


  2. Well I was enjoying the campaign but I can't go any further.

    When I get to the part when you have to go down into the ground to get one of the hamerhead parts

    After I step out of the lifts the game crashes and although I can hear music it crashes very much like the crash in this post.

    http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?140773-Crash-when-I-destroyed-enemy-carrier

    And if I play the strategy game just like the post above it crashes out when I destroy the carrier. Although I seem to get a "Null on instance FindTarget".

    So I'm stuck until these bugs are fixed. There doesn't seem to be a support forum so posting here seems to be all I can do.


  3. Ahhh three satchel charges. All kinda obvious now you tell me. Think it shows I'm losing my joy in the game when I can't be bothered to work stuff lkike this out anymore.

    Thank you anyway for the super fast replies. Mission done I'm on to the next one.


  4. I have one of the new audigy cards. The drivers are just terrible. What has become of creative they used to produce excellent drivers.

    I am considering taking out my audigy card and puting back my Live card as atleast that worked.

    I had to turn EAX and hardware support off to stop getting blue screen crashs.

  6. I must be getting lasy. I used to figure this stuff out for myself.

    On the mission to blow up the bridge I have made it on to the bridge.

    Now what. Setting satchel changes has done nothing. How do you destroy it to move on.

    (For a very heavly defended base it was rather easy to get into. Not on fixed machine gun??)

In every game magazine here in Germany they wrote that this "Between the lines"-addon is crap. Got very bad ratings, because it mostly consists of loose missions.

    Because these are normally the best.<span id='postcolor'>

    Certainly aren't loose missions. The main campaign "Between The Lines" has a strong story line. Gets you very involved.

    Where as the other two campaings are more action and less story.

    That is a very interesting site you have there. I just learnt all kinds of things.

    I would like to add that although the expasion pack has it's faults I would say it was worth the 15 quid I paid for it.

    Although I think a new patch fixing some of the more obvious typo's and breifing mistakes is in order. Very surprised that they wearn't fixed in the first patch.

    My fav being when you complete one objective you are given the message "test test test"


  9. I went down to the local games store yesterday and on there shelf was a new expansion pack for OFP.

    It's called Between The Lines and is made by XMP. It's an unoffical expansion pack.

    I keep fairly upto date with OFP stuff but I haven't seen this mentioned on any OFP website or on this forum.

    It actualy has three seperate campains on it.

    Has everybody else heard about this and this is just me living in my own litttle world??
