Re: Interesting AI Interaction

I had a similar interaction happen during my most recent Spanish Civil War campaign*. I was controlling my units and I accidentally forced an enemy unit to retreat onto an airfield I controlled with aircraft based out of it. I was out of undos and I had no more actions. I ended the turn, the AI atta...

Re: New units and 3d model correction wish list

Mainly the ability to have it classed as a recon so you can upgrade them to motorcycles/other recon vehicles. Cavalry recon as an infantry unit means you can't upgrade them for their role, meaning they're sort of a dead-end specialized unit, and as such any XP you gain on them either goes towards a ...

Re: New units and 3d model correction wish list

One unit I really want to have is an early-war mounted recon unit. Like a weaker version of cavalry that can act as recons until the motorcycle recons unlock. I normally play with poor maintenance and with inefficient supply on. With those two together, I often find myself wanting to just use horse-...

Re: Hero Optimization

hit the jackpot on valuable Heroes recently. Hal has given me 2 Zero Slots, 2 Double Attacks(now 3 with Barr), 2 Camo and 1 Optimization. I've been using the first 2 on the 21 Art plus adding Optimization on 1. Where do you apply these Heros for maximum results. Camo I can't get a feel. seems like ...

Re: Bug Reports

I am having a similar problem the the one mentioned above about the SCW DLC, but for me it's happening in any scenario I load: Yesterday I was on the Raate Road scenario. It was running fine in the mission up to turn 3, but I alt-F4'd out of the program. I had made a blunder and decided to restart ...

Re: Most worthless hero and One That's Sorely Missing

I cna agree that No Surrender is actually kinda useful for when you want to use your Recons to do trollish and slightly suicidal things. - "Lightweight": Can be transported on aircraft. - "Paratrooper": Can be dropped from a transport plane. (does not make unit air-transportable...

Re: Most worthless hero and One That's Sorely Missing

Play on "Inefficient Supply" and then say Recons are difficult to surrender. My most surrendered units are Recons*. Recons use fuel really rapidly, and there are times when, if you're not careful, you will be left with 1 or 0 fuel and no way to move because the terrain is awful. And since...

Re: Most worthless hero and One That's Sorely Missing

No surrender and no Retreat are good for recons (especially if you play with inefficient supply). Recons run out of fuel often, and are in the front lines a lot. If they get dogpiled, they will often be forced to surrender when they can't retreat. It allows you to be a little more aggressive while ...

Re: Most worthless hero and One That's Sorely Missing

For me I have trouble finding units for Evasive. It's such a milquetoast trait that I roll my eyes when I get it, which is often. It's not bad, but it's not really all that good. It's just "meh." The other traits, I tend to find uses for: No surrender and no Retreat are good for recons (es...

Re: Historical Unit Composition

My numbering is historical, not made-up. So when I name one of my infantry units "Schützen-Regiment 4" for example, that really was one of 6. Panzer-Division's infantry regiments. I was going to do that (historical numbering/naming), but I opted against it after I made a random general na...

Re: Historical Unit Composition

I've gotten to using ahistorical color coding for divisions with exceptions for any units that are special (Galland, Dir, Azul Infantry, etc.) Those units I highlight with the red stripe version of the default skin. The color coding, plus keeping the divisions distinctly numbered (blocks of 10; so, ...

Re: Historical Unit Composition

I haven't finished 1942 since I restarted the AO Campaign from SCW. I'm now at the Saar Offensive, and this is my setup for the Saarbrucken Scenario which will be going into Poland. Every unit is a Battalion, and infantry regiments are dropped to 2 Battalions from the 3 in reality. I'm also using &q...

Re: Ideas for Panzer Corps 2

This is a really small thing, but this idea is an expansion of the "Poor Maintenance" trait: It would be really great if units affected by the trait had an icon or marker next to their unit flag (like a broken wrench or something). It's really tricky to identify units that are unusable at ...

It, along with "Limited Supply" are new options for campaign starts from the last update. I haven't tried the Mortal Heroes one (because not saying the odds* is annoying and makes committing to it difficult to stomach), but I have tried Limited Supply. Limited Supply is a good idea, but se...

Re: Historical Unit Composition

I haven't commented in a while on your models, but I like to think I had an influence on you. :D I still find only one major fault (IMO) with them, however, from a historical and especially gameplay POV. I still strongly feel that your continued 1 artillery unit/regiment is far too weak and underre...

This bug is in the SCW campaign: I can't remember if this used to work, but I do remember my corps units providing support fire for allied units. In the current patch, player units do not seem to provide support fire for allied AI units in the SCW campaign. I'm now up to the Ebro, and every single d...

Re: Historical Unit Composition

Thanks! Regarding the scale — well, as I've said, it's tricky. In one battle you fight for each quarter of Stalingrad and in another you conquer half-a-Norway. I guess, the perfect scale is achievable only in a fully pre-designed custom campaign :) But my point for using mostly regiments at least f...
