Re: Updates in light of Ukraine war

I have noticed that few of the destroyed Russian armor seemed to be trying to use the terrain in a hull-down position. I believe the game does do Hull-down calculations based on adjoining hex...

Re: Stack Movement?

I find that if you really want the feel of a battalion or brigade leader you should move all your sub-units by 'Move All' commands. This rewards staying within command radius and forces shorter...

Should air assets have counter-battery options

May be not possible but if so, if the opponent has off-map artillery should an unused air asset have a chance of attacking it in the manner of counter-battery fire? A button to set it to off map...

Re: How to prevent a unit from assaulting?

Re: Snowdrifts

I can tell you from personal experience that on cloudy days (no direct sun) snowdrifts can be practically invisible in real life. A white drift against a white background throws no shadow in that...

Re: AA Defense

A bit more real life than game world but AAA professionals consider upsetting the attack (missed target, aborted runs...etc) to be successful deployment of assets, not just actually bringing down an...

Re: Units Taking Cover II

I believe the thinking is the expenditure of 2MP to 'Take Cover' will trigger other actions that are usually triggered by MP expenditure such as opportunity fire and being spotted.

Re: A thought about resupply depots

Thanks all for the feedback. I guess I will have to continue to buy jeeps/wagons/bren carriers...etc with ammo containers to represent A&S platoons to resupply forward units. I also buy 'medical'...

Re: A thought about resupply depots

OK, just one unit at a time still works. Could the range be increased so it would simulate an ability to resupply an area? A range of ten would equal the frontage for a battalion trains. This...

A thought about resupply depots

Just a thought about resupply depots. Posting it here in WW2 forum but also applies to MBT.

Re: AI Tank Heavy Preference

Playing SP since the DOS days, I never use 'tank heavy' settings. Armor is the 'Mounted Arm of Decision' but you can not hold ground without Infantry.
Remember: 'Tanks, supporting the Infantry...

Re: Fortifications

Bunkers have limited vision. He rounds produce a lot of smoke and dirt when they explode. They also produce a pressure wave and loud sound. Even if the bunker is 'undamaged' defending troops within...

Re: Waving the white flag

IMO the most replay limiting factor in a war game is terrain. You can try different formations, strategies and nations but good attack routes and danger areas will always be the same. The right...

Re: Waving the white flag

Re: Mine clearing device PW-LWD

Most of the US Europe strategy during the Cold War was envisioned as a delaying/rear guard defence so most of the need to breach minefields/cross rivers quickly would be on the Warsaw Pact.
