Default Re: Toggle Off On-Screen Combat Results?

While playing yesterday I was wondering the same thing even tiny battles I create go on and on per 1 turn. The following are my overall tweaks to make the entire ensemble better --- eventually I will address your specific question but to jump to the point there is not much one can do that I know of but the overall expierience can be better First, remember that the manual says somewhere you can run the game directly from the excutalbe winSPWW2.exe this enables you to bypass everything and up pops the Scenario List. I put 2 shortcuts on my desktop one that points to this excutable and one that starts it to the main menu.
Then .. you've probably done all these but .. then ya tweak the scroll to your likeing so its not offensive MISC tab under game options screen and fix the other stuff there too for me unit move delay was important keeps things from zooming all over the screen at least when I'm moving..
Oh on the main screen ya set that up like ya want so when ya run it directly from the excutalbe as mentioned above its all set.
Now to actually address your question.... Go to the Preferences screen about page 314 of the manual read up on it ..... thing is you have probably done all of this really not much you can do but Message Delay helps but then if its too fast ya miss the good stuff ....Animation set to off speeds things up but ruins the game Y play it ..with that off but try it .. Maybe tweaking the Animation Level up top slider.. Thats about it .. Well, hope this wasn't a waste of time for ya .. Oh one thing I do when its my turn when I'm trying to take out a tank and I'm tired of my tanks hosing it down with machine gun fire I just shoot at it only with the big gun maybe this keeps the enemy tank(s) from getting suppressed but anyway I press the T key on my keyboard and the N key as necessary to make sure I'm targeting the right unit then I press the T key again then I press the W key on the keyboard up pops that screen and then I choose the right number of weapon to fire for the Big Gun its 1. So its T then T then W then 1 this makes my tank fire only an antitank round at the stupid tank Im trying to take out speeds stuff up when its my turn ......ONE can also turn "off" the machine guns on a tank the explanation of this is buried in the manual too .. I don't micromanage this cause as soon as doing this INF will show up. Hope ya got something out of this boss.

Just how slow have you got the animations playing that takes way more time than watching a few MG bursts just speed them up. Even a busy turn only takes a few minutes to replay once setup.
