Yes, it's a GOG thing. People had hundreds of old games and kept their save archives bloated, so they needed it to keep servers running more optimally. I still think they should enable to select 2-3 games where you can disable this limit, let's say those one plays continuously, but it is what it is ...

Now that's a really interesting decision. Paratrooper missions in Axis Operations were a nice change of pace, but they all seemed to play out slightly similarly due to the way the game is set up at its core. Airborne unit selection is limited so objectives had to be tailored to that as well. We will ...

I'll just confirm everything else said here. Base game is a good value for money, DLC are also really fun, but of course some are better than others. None are required to have an enjoyable experience, you can just test them out as you like, but the base game will keep you covered for a decent while ...

This is easily fixed by adding a "No Split" hero in map creation. Kerensky addresse a similar issue that was initially a bug with a medical transport in "AO Spanish Civil War - Teruel" by doing this exact thing in a later patch. If the unit cannot be split at all, the problem gets solved easily ...

I ran into the same issue, but luckily managed to figure this out and reloaded to not loose the commendation points.

Allied Operations: Italy: Vol.1 - Operation Fustian

A bit of a surprise, it seems you missed the 'Historical objective: Capture Malati Bridge with No.3 Commando Division unit' (with as a reward a nice Commando Unit + Hero). It was mentioned in the briefing. So you miss out on a valuable unit ...

Allied Operations: Italy: Vol.1 - Race for Messina

Hero:

An argument can be made for every option. Infantry heroes are always good, since infantry remains relevant and with my traits the extra abilities will increase survivability. Tank hero would be a ...

Allied Operations: Italy: Vol.1 - Piercing the Etna Line

Hero:

None.

New Units Commissioned:

None. With the core force merge I now have fewer core than combined army supply requirement, so I need to put some units in reserve.

New Equipment Provided:

None, looks like no major ...

I know this thread is very old, but do we have a list of functioning hero traits, that is not mixed with game mechanic or the general traits of a campaign. Just hero traits and what it does. ??

thank you all, and i still enjoy PC2 AO i have over 1000 hours in it.


Do you mean a thread like to ...

Excellent hero immediately assigned to 1st Engineer Combat Bn. Last few rolls were really powerful!

Allied Operations: Italy: Vol.1 - The Fall of the West

Hero:

Second Artillery Support is a strong option. I add the hero to 191st Tank Battalion. Long term plan is to use a Sherman Jumbo on this unit and add Provocator to it if possible.

New Units ...

There are days when I have my doubts. Key suspect for me are planes, which ever since combat predictions were added for the enemy possible attacks, seem to have keen insight of where my units are located and can fly deep into the fog of war to bomb vulnerable targets. In Allied Operations - Italy ...

Allied Operations: Italy: Vol.1 - March to the West

Hero:

Perfect choice for a strategic bomber pilot! I am happy to assign this new hero to 343rd Bombardment Squadron.

Allied Operations: Italy: Vol.1 - Battle of Gela

Hero:

https://i.ibb.co/LdjPVkW0/64.png
Between the AA and AT option I decide to go for the AT hero. I plan to have a more mobile force and thus AA will probably be limited to light halftracks, not benefitting as much from extra abilities ...

Keep your fingers crossed for getting one such hero for yourself from the random hero pool. Used correctly he makes the AI do really silly things, you can set up sweet traps utilizing terrain and proper support fire. :D

Small example from Frontlines: Cyrenaica - see the 9 strength infantry that's ...

Check the heroes assigned to the unit that is targeted instead of the one you want to target. A hero with Provocator ability will cause the attack to hit him, instead of another unit as long as the attacker is adjacent to the Provocator. There's one enemy unit with this trait in the British Landing ...

I saw on Steam forums that this might be related to ending the mission with list core force units. Might be worth checking if changing it fixes the bug.


What does " list core force units" mean?


Was meant to be "split". Looks like in the age of the AI next development needed is more ...

Perfect, that seems to fit with the initial diagnosis. Now the only question remains how big of a coding change is needed to prevent that from happening. I hope the devs will be able to patch it, as it is something that might happen to anyone accidentally and is difficult to entirely avoid otherwise.

My understanding is that this will only cover Italian front only. Probably vol.2 will have invasion of mainland Italy, probably culminating with the capture of Rome. Then, vol.3 might be about all the events until the end of the war. That's of course pure speculation.

Mind you that you're ...

I also do not have a core force saved after the British path. I guess I'll see how it goes, but I saw on Steam forums that this might be related to ending the mission with list core force units. I made sure to not have any in split state at the end of British path, so remains to be seen if this ...
