I had written a long answer and then lost it idiotically! The executive summary:

"Turns" when I test turn limits for triumph. Typical example, the original Abyssinian setup which was all one big unwinnable race.

"Fog of war" when something odd is happening. Typical example, an off map artillery ...

No problem, misunderstanding on my part. We're all friends here.

Posting the elaborate reviews of your style is too much work for a very lazy man like myself. I'm not being sarcastic, I AM intensely lazy! Text is nice and easy for me.

On the specific matter of feedback levels, I think it's good ...

You are looking for a fight, friend, but outside PzC I'm a man of peace. Whether my feedback is useful or not, in the form that I give it, is for others to judge. All I can say is that its honestly meant.

It's not a matter of brains, I just like to play without artificial challenges like boosts to experience and to prestige for the AI because what little historicity exists in this game gets lost.

I am with you totally when it comes to anticipating to throwing the capitalist lackeys into the sea ...

Revisted the Lost Spring because I hadn't played it beyond the Somme crossings when it came out.

With my usual testing setup (Normal, AI 2, Chess) it does get a bit easy-ish by that time. The prestige awards are fine, it's not like the player is swimming in points.The Somme crossings are actually ...

I just got blindsided by the sudden pivot. One minute the glorious armies of the armed proletariat are about to chastise the capitalist running dogs, the next there are AT-ATs and beam weapons :)

Whatever pleases the modder to do next. I am not into SF for my PzC mods, but I also do exactly zero ...

I'm slightly confused. Is the Korean War expanded to outer space?

:p

Obviously, I'm delighted.

Eat lead, capitalist running dogs!

(it's good that my lovely and kind South Korean colleague at work doesn't play PzC to see this!)

So, which is the player's side? (please say the North, please say the North! :))

I need to explain: I find the Soviet countermix much more interesting than the American, and playing the less resourced side is more interesting than a massive superpower with infinite resources. The North Koreans are ...

Pushy, I hope not. And not really authoritative either, though it's kind of you to say that. Opinionated to be sure, but I hope always respectful.

If you are to creep forward to the early 50s and peripheral conflicts, another obvious candidate is Indochina 1945-1954. Playing as the Viet Minh of course :) (though the French could also be a good campaign in its way).

I really think though that after 1955 the Panzer General conception is out of ...

Interesting. I hope we get to play the communists though :)

I think that the Korean War is about the maximum date that the PzC design works for, because from the moment you get guided missiles it messes up too much with its fundamental rock-paper-scissors conception of combined arms. All this with ...

This is insanely impressive. Even useless old me may try to make a mod now (no, I won't. I'm useless AND lazy).

Wow.

Defence of Sevastopol is a fine scenario when it comes to unit variety and it is indeed difficult. But one of the main sources of this difficulty is one of the standard Panzer General devices: "your core starts miles at the rear and you have to rush to get to the defensive positions before they're ...

As always my comments are suggestions, not the word of god. After all I do exactly zero work to create the mod!

Regarding entrenchments, I have no issues with besieging a set position, like Leningrad, or the German fortifications on the Dniepr in 1943. My issue with Soviet Storm (an otherwise ...

Always on Normal (no bonuses either side), AI 2, Chess.

I find that giving the AI artificial bonuses is exactly the sort of "masochism simulator" you describe. The same goes for insane entrenchment levels that make every second attack a rugged defence and ruin every point of strategising. The ...

I've been doing some checking (granted, on Wikipedia) and perhaps an alternative path to balancing this campaign is not to increase the RAF resources but restrict the Italian air force. Both sides had very limited air assets well into 1941.

Without plane support, the player will have a much ...

Tremendous. I'm not a modder but this can help playtesting and even basic campaign strategy.

I want to go back to the Soviet Union! There are some nazis I need to push back from the Don

Final mission of Eagles. Starts very well with a running battle, but the player will easily slaughter the British in their trucks especially if he can keep a forward position with a 90mm AA viable for the first 2 rounds. Together with 3 12 strenght fighters this completely wipes out the RAF in two ...
