Not very user friendly, but as long as we have a way, I guess that will do. Thanks. When you first select your scenario or campaign, it is displayed. Until this is integrated into the save files, an alternative for mid campaign save files is to use the description box. It provides plenty of opportun...

How do I know which difficulty level I'm playing on?
Is this displayed somewhere? Where? It is not intuitive if it is. Also if I save a game at a certain difficulty level, how do I know what it is? If not, please add it somewhere.

Thanks for the input, I'll play the game by the rules and leave this issue go. Bret Moving through and swapping units creates a whole range of issues that massively complicate what is in reality a very rare situaiton. It could adds days of programming time and bug fixing. We have far more important ...

My apologies to the design and dev team if I offended anyone. My vernacular was not meant to offend, but to show my frustration after losing more than my fair share to this issue before I became aware of how it works. I imagine this will come up from others on the big board after release. I'm just p...

Thanks for the insight. I re-framed the thread and toned it down. Sorry for the drama :shock: Campaigns are easier to win because you have extra prestige and experience from previous missions. Therefore the parameters are set harder for a win. By doing this the campaign is much harder to win than pl...

AI plays well, no issues with the AI. Have issues with units surrendering when they wouldn't normally. I know, the game is going to go out the way it is, so I'll just be back on the big boards ranting about this issue. I guess many of you are okay with this functionality, but it really is not the ri...

UGH - wow - that is very difficult to achieve. Okay, well, I finally found where it says this and why is it different between campaigns and scenarios? For Campaign you need to do it in16 turns, plus capture a secondary objective. Secondary objective is not defined. 18+9=27 Game is 25 turns long not ...

Victory conditions different between campaigns and scenarios
So here I am playing the second scenario of '39 again in Norway on FM level. Oh by the way, had another untimely surrender - UGH. But that's not what really has me in an uproar at the moment. I'm on turn 18 and I'm crushing Norway - really enjoying this game and I'm gonna get a decisive victory. I h...

Sorry guys, but it is a bad design and stupid to have to leave empty hexes. I'm sorry but just because SSI did it is not an excuse to propagate a bad design decision on their part or any other game designer who came up with this ridiculous - let me reiterate - RIDICULOUS rule. My suggestion is this....

This is the most absurd game rule I've ever seen as it is not even close to reality. I would like the game to at least be somewhat realistic, even for a beer and pretzel game. dumb de dumb dumb dumb dumb. Who came up with this rule? Bad game design. A unit needs a vacant hex to retreat. Period. Funn...

Autosave at the end of scenarios in a campaign
I shouldn't have to remember to do this. Again, playing '39 and did well on first scenario. Then got my behind kicked in 2nd scenario because of troop surrenders. Thought I would try a different approach. Guess what, forgot to save and now I have to start over from the beginning. What's up with this...

Surrender in the game is not working right IMHO
When I have units that are surrounded by my guys, they should not surrender. I'm in '39 campaign and a line of tanks in ardenes. French troops attack one of my tanks and it surrenders in the middle of two other german units. This is just not right. Please look at the surrender code. If this is WAD t...

RC3 Impressions
Better performance on scrolling - yea !! :) and I like the new descriptions for scenarios. The game seems a lot more polished now and getting closer to a gold version for sure. Combat seems reasonable, however, I was surprised that Polish aircraft could destroy tanks. Seems odd Bret P.S. keep up the...

Re: Artillery effectiveness vs distance
Modern artillery is not degraded by distance. As long as you have spotters, it is very effective up to it's maximum range. Without spotters, it is very ineffective no matter what the range. So, how would spotters be modeled in PzrCorps? I am sorry if this has been discussed in some previous topic bu...

I'm playing 1900 x 1200 as well. I think the frame rate is not able to handle this resolution. When I start the game below 1400 resolution the tearing and blockiness go away almost completely. So, it appears to be a resolution issue for the game. Does anyone else have this issue on the higher resolu...

Ok, I upgraded to the latest Nvidia drivers for my GTX 460 from EVGA. Scrolling north to south and east to west seems ok most of the time. However, when I move diagonally, the blocking is still there. Not sure what is causing it. Is anyone not seeing the blocky scrolling effects? I'm seeing others p...

UI improvments needed on this screen. It can wait til later, but not easy to read and kind of messy. Hmm, maybe not a bug here but just me still not understanding the algorithm right. If 40% of my attack results are applied before my enemy can hit back, then that strength of 1 unit shouldn't have be...

I have a q6600 quad core with a GTX460 and 8GB ram running Win7 64. I hope my machine is powerful enough to scroll smoothly. :-) But if not, I'd like to know if I have to upgrade to an i7. If so, whoo hoo, I'll tell my wife tonight. :-) On the scrolling its not a normal issue - it must be some hardw...

some possible defects found in tutorial last scenario - RC2
Placed a tank I purchased on a sea hex. It was stuck there for the rest of the scenario in the form of a tank. My units are surrendering when they are surrounded by my guys but attacked by the enemy. This doesn't make sense, why would they surrender? I had this happen twice in the same game. Please ...

So, here is why I am commenting on this issue. I look at your list and it is not what the BETA-TESTERs have raised as big concerns. I just want to bring it to everyone's attention. 1. Scrolling is choppy. This is a defect and in my opinion should not be the case for PC's with high end graphics cards...
