I feel that, in the near future, games are unlikely to have true AI computer opponents (CO) unless they require a subscription because backend (server-side) processing -- even for a LLM-based AI -- costs money. I could see, however, AI-assisted programming (codified, not dynamic; just like today's ...

They belong to player #3 who is on your side but not controlled by you; as the post above indicated: they are AI-controlled. You, likely, share vision, airfields and support with player#3 but not slots or prestige. I suspect that they have been given orders to Hold Position but, if a specific unit ...

The upcoming "Allied Operations" (in Italy) linked campaign will, eventually, be 3 DLCs where you can import your Core army from the previous campaign in the series. The first campaign (available April 29th) consists of 12 scenarios though your Core army is split between UK and US until the 11th ...

Looking forward to this title and thinking how much money it will save by not having to collect -- and paint -- miniatures and terrain. Hopefully, they will add support for a multiplayer co-op campaign in the future.

re: Leningrad 1941

The reason the game crashes is that it looks like 12 Infantry units were deleted so the script crashes when it attempts to move those units into their randomly determined hexes.

Specifically, these units (IDs) are missing:
inf = {176,177,178,179,180,181,182,183,184,185,186,187 ...

I would like to convert and re-publish some of these multiplayer scenarios -- giving NETSCAPE full credit -- on Steam's Workshop to increase visibility and simplify downloading and installation. I have already converted the co-op scenario "1941" -- as a test -- but will remove it immediately if ...

I used P38 Lightnings for disrupting AA defense units, specifically the nasty 88mm flak guns, before unleashing a formation of B17s. The Lightnings, however, did not seem as good in the tank-busting role as the classic Stuka. I used B17s to soften-up (degrade efficiency and entrenchment) ground ...

See the thread titled "Allies Victorious: Paris Scenario Question"

Basically, just capture the hex with a US unit -- not a French unit -- to fulfill the objective; actually, capture may not even been required, perhaps it works even if you enter the hex (after it has been captured)?

You need to capture the hex (Arc de Troimphe) with a *US* (not French) unit just like you had to capture the Eiffel Tower with a French (not US) unit for the "Raise the flag" objective. You can still use other units to clear the hex, the first Allied unit to enter the hex triggers the condition ...

For some reason, the links don't work for me, it just takes me to a Google Support page about cookies, IDK what's going on. I have the game through Steam if that matters.

Multiplayer scenarios seem to be intended to be balanced challenges (for all sides) but is it possible to adjust the difficulty or add a handicap so 2 (or more) players of different skill levels can compete fairly?

Also, what does the difficulty setting do when starting a multiplayer scenario? Does ...

I have enjoyed playing multi-player scenarios and single-player campaigns but is it possible to have multi-player campaigns? Thanks in advance.

It takes 2 bomb runs per airfield so, if you have 3+ top-end strategic bombers (like a US B-17 or UK Lancaster), you should be able to complete the objective in 2 turns (plus travel-time to reach the airfields). Attacking the nearby AA unit (8.8 Flak) with other aircraft that have decent ground ...

The armor mode change appears to work, for me, but I noticed an immediate efficiency degradation as soon as you move with the armor activated. Is that intentional?

US Rangers are normal recruitable units and are quite effective. I believe this conversation is about the extra units that you can recruit with the UK specialization "Special Services" even though both can be considered commandos.

Off-topic but "Sorry, Charlie" is from an old Starkist Tuna advertising campaign featuring Charlie the tuna.

the knife attack should be zero, should retreat at once and their vision radius should be expanded because once they are discovered they are dead.


+1 to this idea. The Knife attack could be like placing a minefield where the unit moves one square after completing the task. Ideally, the Commando ...

Was the Supply Ship attacked recently? Perhaps it still has some suppression (efficiency degradation) even though it has full health?

Landing fields and aircraft carriers have a limited number of storage slots. Are there any other aircraft onboard the carrier at the time you are trying to land? It may just be a generic message indicating that there are no spaces available for your aircraft to land.

Excellent news, another Slitherine insta-buy for me!
