I keep seeing my name mentioned! I'm glad I'm honored with an experience-maxing artillery

I think the extreme AI turn times, which decrease with fewer enemy units on board, may act as incentive to not pursue that

Are you using chat GPT for responses? :D Few other comments: It's unclear what deployment is or is not required to "trigger" additional campaigns. Do I need to bring specific units to Norway to activate it? Same for other campaigns. What does the comment (R) Redeployment: The unit must be ...

Comments on 1.04 up to turn 5. 1. Library isn't showing (?) 2. Checking some recon units, BefPz-IIB has much better stats than IIIDs. Is there any reason I wouldn't upgrade my armee HQs (besides historical accuracy) into recon units that can fight and move? The 5 range spotting is nice, but it takes...

Yes, perfect. It is important (to me, at least) to see the motivation and thought going into scenario creation. Anyone can slap an OoB onto a map, but critical scenario design is a whole different level.

Great! Glad to see you've considered it. Another idea I had was to have a free "healing/recovery/rest/refit" hex to bring smaller detachments up to full strength for free or minimal cost (5 prestige?). PAKMod already has hospital and other miscellaneous units; perhaps it's possible to set...

Trying this out. Detailed gameplay comments forthcoming, but one MAJOR balance issue/concern is that unit cost is prorated based on its max strength. A unit with max strength 3 and a unit with max strength 20 both cost 100 prestige. However, to replace one strength point of the 3 strength unit that ...

However, I cannot confirm your observations regarding the balance of the aircraft compared to the transport ships. I have not changed the values of these transport ships, tactical bombers or other aircraft in the basic set. For the new units such as the Catalina, I based my calculations on similar ...

Kota Bharu: Japanese marines seem like they need a slightly tweaking. Several issues: ground defense of 11 + 2 experience stars seems a bit too much this early, with little options in the player force. The marine transport is classified as infantry. This means that they get to attack forts' close de...

First, the letter abbreviations for the ship classes. I find these very useful, especially when setting up scenarios. It's also advantageous in the game to be able to quickly distinguish between cruisers and light cruisers, which have different functions in the game and are both capital ships. Alwa...

Made my way to the first campaign branch in the past few hours. A few general comments: 1. Should you remove generic carrier/BB/DD/CA/CL from purchase? You have the named classes already. Similar for the generic truck mount. Destroyers seem way too expensive for what they provide, as a core unit, a ...

Excellent as always, and an annual return to PC for me. Will provide feedback as I work through it. Cheers.

Try PaKMod? Else the ATOMIC Efile for Open General that I'm playing has them but might be too low quality for PC.

I agree that something is missing there, I'm just not sure how to include it without providing yet more gameplay advantages to the Axis (lack of supply and logistics simulation in Panzer Corps engine is already extremely benefitial to the Axis). Triggers for additional fuel and/or ammo loss at extr...

I'm ready for the challenge you posted on 8/28.

Hope I selected all the options correctly. First time as Axis in MP. Good luck! Let me know if there are any issues.

More thoughts on balance for MP: The Allies don't have much to spend prestige on up to 1943. Any Soviet fights that you try to train up experience-wise can be picked off immediately, and upgrades being limited to the far east and 4 trains only, with only a few models worth considering, has been a sa...

Cinched last turn DV on Malta. Played very carefully because it looked like naval units had weird rebalances. This is despite using 2 class-change units that apparently couldn't upgrade on the Allied objectives. They still did their job as decoy with 3 artillery behind the during rain :) Also used a...

Aircraft: they are way too expensive, and without the cushion of GC39-43 :) I can't afford to elite reinforce too much, and even green reinforce (I know it's not 0% green unit experience) costs quite a bit given how strong, relatively, the enemy fighters are. Given the relatively fewer unit slots, I...

Update on AK playthrough on FM Rommel. Eked out decisive on Gaza line. I haven't played AK in a very, very long time (6-8 years?). I also couldn't figure out which were the core units, so I briefly broke rule-of-1 to kill more mines with pioneers. 4 units lost so far, including the hero IT Breda. ht...
