Hi folks,
I was wondering if someone could give me a hand please. I've been trying to make a factory smokestack and export it to BA2. Unfortunately, I'm not making any progress, and the tutorial information I've been looking at hasn't really helped at all. So, I was hoping I could find some help ...

Of course I'm just learning the game so this will be a very newbie question.

I assume the game has fow? But just getting into the game to see how the mechanics work I could see the enemy's blue dots and the enemy itself even though they're clear across the map. So how does this all work?

All ...

Haven't ordered yet but still looking. Just a few questions if you don't mind.

1. During a round does one side move all units first based on initiative and then the other side? Or does the active unit go back and forth between sides based on the initiative?

2. Will reaction fire be implemented in ...

I have tried to reproduce and not succeed! Hopefully it was just an old save Please inform us if it happen again and thank you this report! Even if for now it seems it was not a bug it may be a rarely happening bug and than it is good to have bug-reports like this if it would happen again!

Sounds like an absolutely amazing World War 2 story. Thank you for tipsing us Xerkis! I always love reading about the human perspective. It is easy to forget about the human perspective when you read a lot of books about the fronts, and overall strategies where it more or less seems like an game of ...

I can understand how "just Laxen" would be a an disappointment and will try to be there too

How did it go ?

Me and Laxen brings the coolness to the studio with our ciders and sunglasses

How much cover are cows?

Ok was surprised at the number of hispanic names for random. Of course if I am trying to have a 442nd unit I would want to be able to have japanese names for the soldiers, so hope we will be able to edit them with the final release.

Cows are Medium-cover.

Right now ...

I would think I am a "Working the body" kind of type when I play.

I am patience in my game-play while always trying to pound my enemy's economy. I rather like punishing the enemy in small fights at many places at the same time constantly than one large push. Gaining small upper-hands in every ...

I like this idea! All the soldiers that served you well in battle could be honored by having their name in that squad for ever!

Also I could send Private Laxen head on into every battle

I noticed on the couple of videos that men are parachuting in to the field of battle. Some questions around that......

I looked like this is how reinforcements enter in to the game – or can you have an actual paratrooper squad?

What factors restrict the reinforcements? Cost, total number of ...

So if both the squad leader and second squad leader are eliminated – does that mean you have a squad that will basically be sitting there going, “you rush the bunker.” “no, you rush the bunker.”
And not worth much in action anymore.

Also, I assume that the AI has the same rules – but can you ...

Here you go

During a game, can you split up the squad? In other words have two guys stay here watching the flank, while the rest of the squad heads on up the road a ways.
Or does the squad have to stay all in one bunch?

………… and by the way, Laxen said to keep asking the questions. I tried to warn him too ...

If the squad leader is taken out, does next in line take over? Example: the First Sergeant is eliminated, so the Corporal takes over automatically as squad leader.
Or can you pick who is now the leader?
Or are you just leaderless?

Since a lot of the game is base on morale, I could see how this ...

I think I could easily spend all my time having fun with the force builder and never get to the game.
:D

It sounds fantastic!!!

Haha yhea I am the same, I think the Forcebuilder is as much fun as the game. The Optimizing Forces, the testing new things etc. We have had tournaments here on ZEAL ...

By what I gather from mostly the photos and descriptions on the website, you can build a team (or squad) and shape them the way you wish. Weapons, uniforms, etc.

Can these newly built teams then be saved and reused in other scenarios / campaigns – or do you have to rebuild the team each time you ...

Welcome to the beta Axlroselm and yes! We have indeed Limited with ammo

Hello,
as there exists a Beta1 Forum I guess the beta is already running. Any idea when new testers will be invited ?

Hi General Gonzo!

You are correct in your guessing. The Beta have been up and running 20 days now. We have gathered a lot of information during these 20 days and we are right ...
