I disagree - this is one of the challenges in the game. It is based on reality, and if you don't like it, you can just turn it off. I finished a playthrough with -5 turns challenge, and I only had to start Normandy over, and it was clearly my bad planning (haven't deployed to the NW area planning to...

If in the beginning of your phase it is raining or snowing, and the enemy has taken your airfield in the previous phase(s), then you lose all planes based on it. Same for you - if you're attacking, during rain or snow turns try to take the enemy's airfields, and you destroy the planes there. If you'...

Unit : Any flame tank Hero : No retaliation. No close combat has similar effects. Why : "I love the smell of burning napalm in the morning." You can duke out any entrenched soft target with this combo, and repeat it with overrun, until the naphtha runs out. Then withdraw, and repeat the n...

Thanks Schwarzvogel, I agree that a ship would need a full crew if it was at sea, but the Tirpitz was anchored in a fiord and not going anywhere, so if I was captain I'd only keep enough officers and men aboard to man the AA guns and radar and do some cooking and engineering maintenance, and send t...

Good to know the setting slots to zero works - I wasn't sure if that would break something (been too busy with Defenders of the Reich to test) It is an interesting concept for sure - there would certainly come a time when more units would just not help (only so many can fight at a time) One questio...

Is it visible anywhere how much move points a unit has left? I can't even keep track of my own units before an overrun attack, let alone the enemy... If Stats Panel is open, then you can see remaining move points there. But we'll add some more obvious way to see them. Cheers! I never used that smal...

Thank everyone!
Seems in this "legacy" version (1.0.9) this doesn't exists yet - I was looking at the manual of the same, no surprise I haven't found it.
At least I am reassured of my sanity!

Er... after the update my UI settings have reset. It wasn't just an update, I had to restore the legacy version to finish my playthrough. I swear I had the minimap turned off before. Now I can't find any way to do it, save for "F" to turn the whole interface off, not even on Google. Did I ...

Thank you!

I highly recommend using strategic bombers against pioneers and heavy infantry before attacking ground units. Bomber robbed of their movement, and these can retreat only 1 hex.

Doesn't this depend on the distributor (Steam, Epic, GoG...) rather than the game itself?

I played in every run with the trait no overstrength and the positiv traits panzer & infantry general. In my current run I picked bad logistic also. In this combination the games works, but sometimes I have the feeling to have not enough units to deploy. Try it without heroes. I think heroes ru...

It came under AI air attack over the following turns and had to head back to a port for replacements, but on the way I moved it adjacent to the enemy coast to see if artillery or anything else would shoot at it, but nothing did, so can't ground units attack ships? Actually, proper repair of battles...

How about giving heroes with negative traits that kinda same strengths of the positive? You could have a double-attack hero that wastes ammo, or a no retaliation hero that also gives coward traits? Or a famous one that also gives -1 attack when the unit is alone (no adjacent friendlies)... I think s...

Sorry for being slightly off-topic. :) Many, especially ex-crews are calling the Sherman "inadequate" for the role it had. I compared stats, and noticed an interesting thing: for many characteristics, and development, the M4 and the PzIV were quite similar. Both had around the same armor, ...

Either use the editor to raise the unit cap on every map to such large numbers that unit cap no longer matters or mod the units file to reduce every German unit to cost 1 slot (o slots might work but I'm not sure) Don't forget to alter the half tracks to not cost too. (Or you could do both) You cou...

This is an important consideration: why does logistics become too complex? I want a touch more, but I don't want it to become a chore... Well, we could try a bit more complex approach - supply diminished by several factors (weather, distance from the source of supply, being in enemy ZoC), but keep ...

Over-strength is one way to increase the "punch" you're delivering by a single unit. If you use 2 units, they will occupy 2 hexes, and in many cases you can only attack an enemy unit from a certain hex. Moreover, two weaker units can only attack one at a time, and the enemy also retaliates...

Ouch, I will need to delay the update - I have chosen both green army and delayed reinforcements, counting on the resupply between scenarios...
The value of XP has just risen considerably, it would be a waste to... well, waste it!

Well... you see, stats are coming from older games. Panzer General started this whole system with the initiative, attack and corresponding values, PC1 was just copying and adjusting that (as it was aimed as a remake rather than a new game), and PC2 has significantly improved the original PG system (...
