Try it.

The Crete scenario is a good example of how bonkers paras are vs AI. https://youtu.be/_1c8BcBYUCw If I were to replay with new rules or would be much improved. I think you'll be surprised - Crete is the most affected mission due to AI paras doing AI things...on the other hand, it depends on what yo...

The issue is that AI is simply not up to the task. Granted, formalizing the appropriate behavior is not easy - the game mechanics make it easy for human, but complicated for an algorithm. However, the current script is just plain bad. Defending with infantry in the open terrain right next to a hill,...

They're not impossible, the extra turn in Eben Emael for example means you'll get bombarded by the Range 5 forts for a turn, I got lucky, they targeted my mobile force that was rushing to the fort, so my paras were pretty much intact. But yeah, it's poorly thought out, for example in the training m...

Turn "custom army" option on.

No, it works just like regular arty does. Can be behind your units, but has to be adjacent to the unit it's supporting.

Now I have this mental image of Atlantic Wall consisting solely of acht-acht batteries.

I just tried Crete, can't even figure out how to establish the beachhead now. Best attempt so far ended with my forces getting kicked off the island by turn 6 and Student's forces wiped out on turn 12...

Oh, ok. Disregard my idea then - you only have one GPU.

Radeon R4 is an integrated GPU. You've mentioned that you got a newer video card - what kind did you get?

Ok, in the search window (bottom left of your screen) type "device manager", run the application it finds. You'll see a list, in that list find "Display Adapters", expand that entry by double clicking on it. Let me know if you see more than one adapter listed in that section, and...

Ice serpent...how do I find this "integrated GPU" on my Dell laptop?....I have a battery and the laptop is also pluged into the wall.. What's the model of your laptop? You can usually google something like "how to disable integrated graphics for [make & model of your laptop]"...

It might be a long shot, but if you also have integrated GPU on your motherboard, make sure that it's disabled. This error is often caused by machine switching to integrated GPU for whatever reason (i.e. some laptops like to do that when on battery power).

You make a good point, and yes, it is debatable since we can never really know the answers to any of these "what ifs." However, I disagree with your assessment of the level of loyalty of the average Soviet to the regime. Not from the readings I can remember back in my college days. Univer...

You have to remember how much of a major a**hole Stalin was and its debatable whether who was worse, him or Hitler. Most of the people hated him. When the Germans first entered the USSR they welcomed them as liberators, especially in Ukraine. Their regime was as unstable if not more so than that of...

If the latter, then we need to go back to Clausewitz who argued that to defeat your enemy you needed to identify their 'Centre of Gravity' (CoG) and then devote all of your resources to its destruction. This CoG may be the enemy's capital, their army, an ally, etc. I think where both Napoleon and H...

I'm good with quiet acceptance (I prefer loud acceptance like with regards to the CP system and people always wanting more more MORE from it heheh), but I want to make sure these sorts of designs are a good direction to continue to grow the game into. There is the obvious elephant in the room of Cr...

Hrrngh, I dunno, I guess what I'm trying to gripe about is 'turn key' scenarios, where the only path to victory is to do the thing that the game says to do, with the units it gives you to do it. It feels vaguely, I dunno, tutorial-esque? Like, I'm going to use the Falks I just trained up to take th...

This mod?

Uhm...deployment works the same way for all scenarios. What explanation were you looking for in this one?
