3. More units for smaller nations

I am currently working on a campaign about the Second Sino-Japanese War, and I noticed that the Chinese side has a rather limited unit selection compared with the major nations.

It would be great if future updates could gradually add more historical units for ...

This is always a threat to game balance, as all-powerful direct-kill units may feel good for a little while, but take away the challenge. Combined arms warfare in PG/PC1/PC2 is distributed over separate units, but other 'Panzer'-like games already combine capabilities in one unit. Advantage is ...

Elite - All American - Round Up

Hero:

https://i.ibb.co/pj6L7T8y/76.png
Really good hero I can assign to 703rd Tank Destroyer Battalion and still benefit from the ability at this stage of the game.

Starting Prestige: - 82816

Order of Battle:

Infantry

1st Bn, 504th PIR - OS17 - US ...

2. Glider-riders. Put in some glider riders. Infantry stats that are half-way between airborne and regular infantry and give them "jump" capabilities.


Absolutely agree with this one, a really good idea. When I was playing out this campaign as close the the historical set-up as I could, I really ...

The unit that was bombed indeed had attacked the previous turn, so the AI could know its position. But 'changing its mind' somehow (selecting another target) when I put a recon plane over the target (at the end of the turn after the area was cleared of enemy units) is not right. Probably the ...

Elite - All American - Payback

Hero:

https://i.ibb.co/Ngv9GQ66/70.png
Another hero useful for a fighter plane unit. Luckily I can deploy aircraft in this mission, so I'll still benefit from him a bit at least.

Starting Prestige: - 76261

Order of Battle:

Infantry

1st Bn, 504th PIR ...

Elite - All American - No Matter the Cost

Hero:

https://i.ibb.co/zH7NSk4Z/63.png
A useful hero, but I will not benefit that much from him in a historical run. The issue here is that I'm bound by limitations of what I can deploy per scenario, as well as trying to keep units sizes flavorful ...

Yes, 10 Us Mountain, brazilian exped force, italian partisan, italian rsi, indians, franchs, poles and more… italian campaign was a melting pot of fighters. Hope we will see them all

if I’m not mistaken, I found only one unit of this type in volume 1, a French colonial troop


For now I think ...

Elite - All American - A Bridge Too Far

Hero:

https://i.ibb.co/jP9ZyD6B/53.png
Time to assign a hero to the 366th Fighter Group, to really focus on that ground sweeping role fighter planes had for the American army.

Starting Prestige: - 61406

Elite - All American - Grave

Hero:

https://i.ibb.co/pj0vhJVh/42.png
I added the hero to 746th Tank Bn to help with overruns. Unfortunately tanks are in reserve in the mission, so it's an upgrade for the possible future.

Starting Prestige: - 44553

Not sure, maybe its intended, to provide some motivation for another play through.
I missed Galland in my first AO run and some other stuff. That alone was motivation enough for me, to do i again :)

Imo the problem is how the secondary objetive are designed. Take city x with unit y, because ...

Elite - All American - Unrelinquishing

Hero:

https://i.ibb.co/QvQnLHpj/32.png
Hero added to HQ, 505th PIR (Team Gavin) for the flavor, but otherwise not that impactful. Prestige is irrelevant in this campaign.

Starting Prestige: 31909

That's kind of possible already in tactical view. It would certainly not be impossible to mix 2D and 3D views in the future. The downside is that's a lot of extra assets and development time.

I had this thought after playing Allied Operations: Italy vol.1 some time ago, and as pointed to me in the AAR, missing one of the special heroes by pure chance and a bit of absent-mindedness. I was thus wondering, perhaps linked campaigns should give the player an option to get some of the awards ...

Elite - All American - Mission Boston

Hero:

https://i.ibb.co/fG2mhZHp/24.png
I'm up for an experiment and will assign the Overrun hero to an infantry unit. Ideally it should also have extra movement to benefit from the ability, but Ignores Entrenchment from the special hero should also be ...

Elite - All American - To the Rescue

Hero:

https://i.ibb.co/zkPb658/14.png
Solid scout hero for 82nd Abn Recon. I could try out some other options, but this usage seemed the most intuitive.

Not at all, I had a bit of a busy period in life plus... chickenpox.

On my way to resume things, most likely already this weekend.

Suddenly, the next DLC in the Elite series appeared with me almost totally overlooking the event while enjoying Gothic 1 Remake. Once I did realize it's coming, the schedule of other activities was already quite packed, so my reporting will probably be less regular this time, but I'm still very ...

This crept up on me, but a nice surprise, will have to book some time for next week then. :)


[*]Fixed crash in Italy: vol. 1 campaign related to switching between GB and US cores with split units left on the map
[*]Minor localization fixes in Italy: vol. 1 campaign[/list]


Wonderful to see ...

That would work well, yes, thank you :)


Looks like the forum doesn't support sending attachments in DMs (I could have sworn this worked in the past, but might just misremember things). In any case, attaching saves here then.

I added turn 0 and 23 for "Race for Messina" and turn 0 and 19 for ...
