Re: Allies Defaint - Expedition to Greece

There are exit hexes adjacent to Marathon, Rafti and Nafplio. Look for the box icons with an arrow coming out of it.

Re: efficiency not recovered?

My understanding is that any adjacent enemy activity will prevent recovery of efficiency, a unit doesn't need to be attacked. So an enemy just moving adjacent will do it. I don't fully understand the mechanics but have seen this problem often enough that if the enemy unit can not be eliminated then ...

Re: mountain troops purpose?

The primary advantage is movement. Mountain troops get more movement points through mountains, forest and most snowy terrain.

Re: Zbrozlo's mods & campaigns

Hello Zbrozlo, I have now played through the Mlawa - Narew Line branch of the campaign. In Narew Line, the Polish bombers that arrive don't move at all and then eventually run out of fuel and crash. Their team flag is white which I think means they are not assigned to a faction? In Vistula Line, whe...

Re: Why so few specialastion points?

It would depend on the campaign you are playing. I recall at least one DLC that gave you seven after every mission. Then some of the player created DLC will only give you one or two if you earned them by completing secondary objectives. Good game design should dole out just enough so that you can't ...

Re: Zbrozlo's mods & campaigns

Thank you once again Zbrozlo, I have now completed my first play through and enjoyed it very much. I did the Pszczyna branch and the problems with the RPs, and the counter for the artillery loses in Nida River were gone. Strangely enough the counter for inflicting damage on the Panzerwaffe in Pszczy...

Re: Zbrozlo's mods & campaigns

It looks like I will have to make a lot of corrections in the scenarios. Where the Polish faction appears as two separate combat groups under the player's command it causes problems with resouce points. It seemed like a good idea to highlight the weakness of the Polish Army's anti-aircraft defense,...

Re: Zbrozlo's mods & campaigns

Very happy to see this completed! There first two scenarios were brilliant and both came down to the very last move of the last turn. That's the kind of tension I really enjoy. On to my fourth scenario, Nida River, and there seems to be some sort of problem. We are given additional land and Air CPs ...

Re: Early win bonuses

If you finish a scenario early, you do receive all the RPs for the remaining turns. Except for the very last turn, which just seems to be a programming oversight. Victory point locations (or properly, Primary Objectives) have no bearing on the number of RPs received.

Re: Erik's campaigns & mods

Hi Erik, Happy to see you update the Naval Mod! In the third scenario, Spartivento, the third transport would not exit the map so it ended in a defeat. I took a look in the Editor and it appears that the exit hex is actually one hex north of the three hexes marked on the map. Reloaded the last turn,...

Re: order of battle WW2 'Resource Points'

Resource Points are acquired every turn at a set amount as defined in the scenario. This quantity can be seen on the Objective screen. There may also be additional rewards of RPs for completing objectives in some scenarios. During a campaign you may be given extra RP's at the start of a scenario. Fi...

Re: How is the cost of reinforcement calculated?

Is it still a thing? I started playing recently and I can see the substantial difference between reinforcing 1 vs 2 points. Even after years of playing this game, the cost of reinforcements still confound me sometimes. However, one thing I have learned is that although unit strength is always expre...

Re: [Gameplay Bug][Heavy Inf Mortar switch][10.0]

Deleting the options.dat file to solve the issue with the force pool window staying open, also appears to have solved the problem with the heavy infantry being deselected.

It's all good now.

[Gameplay Bug][Heavy Inf Mortar switch][10.0]

Haven't seen anyone else mention this yet and it's one of the most annoying parts of the latest update. When Heavy Infantry are switched to the mortar ability the unit is deselected. We then need to reselect the unit to perform an action. This problem is most obvious when you move the unit first bef...

Re: Efficacy of WaffenSS Spec?

I believe the advantage of extra CPs is much stronger than other Specializations. Therefore War Economy and Female Factory Labour are always my first two choices. Following those two, I take the SS as soon as possible. Initially, the available RPs for purchasing units and replacements are so low you...
