There is not a single map or scenario shared between them. It would be... ... difficult to sell to the players. :lol: Obviously:) I rather meant same operations portrayed with different levels of detail - e.g. in PC1 you had Poland'39 both in vanilla and in grand campaign - while the formar had iir...

A general question: does it make any sense at all to play/continue the vanilla campaign when the AO dlcs are coming out? How do same battles/operations/map compare between vanilla and AO dlc? Hey Kaa. Actually vanilla PC2 campaign an AO DLCs are both unique experience and I do recommend to play eac...

Two words: "Release date?" Honestly can't wait...

Oh we've been waiting so long for this news... Thanks a lot!

PC2 has infinite variations on how to make the game more difficult. Ever heard of house rules? Set yourself a prestige expenditure ceiling and be done with it. How about adding some core-slot value to each hero for total masochists and enforce it on everyone? :mrgreen: Just leave this thread to rot ...

I guess Panther's ammo racks were empty when authorities showed up, but they force him to sell the best garden playground any grandchild can hope for.

Not the best conclusion imho... https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-58077039 ... but I'm not an expert on German law and I don't know the details of the case. I bet museums and private collectors smell blood in the water like sharks already. :mrgreen: How many working Panthers are out there? Less ...

I understand I'm "crying about" AI behavior deep inside the game core, probably very difficult to change so feel free to ignore me :D. I seriously doubt it cannot be changed - just play the Hannut scenario in AO'40. The AI plays much more intelligently there, moving 4-8 units first, then ...

Greetings everyone. Since any coordination between divisions, armies or allied forces must have been painful during WW2 in general, I'm fine with any approach displayed so far. Personally, I'm not a big fan of manual control of bigger allied forces myself (like Kursk scenario in the vanilla campaign...

If you only need AA, then I would say 2 cm Flakvierling 38 is the best AA in this game. It has rapid fire x2 and low altitude attack. With anti-air veteran, it one-shot kills most fighters and tactic bombers in this game. It costs only 1 core slot. Even without anti-air veteran, it can still deal a...

hit the jackpot on valuable Heroes recently. Hal has given me 2 Zero Slots, 2 Double Attacks(now 3 with Barr), 2 Camo and 1 Optimization. I've been using the first 2 on the 21 Art plus adding Optimization on 1. Where do you apply these Heros for maximum results. Camo I can't get a feel. seems like ...

Different bonuses for each hero - I'm all for it.

1. I hope the alternate path is a smooth path to win. Not a “convenient” win like destroy Red Army in one scenario. I hope the alternate path involves a successful coup and regime change. And ends in a somewhat realistic armistice, after a series of defenses and counter-offensives on all fronts, an...

Evening gents.

I have encountered another bug. During Assault on Stalingrad scenario game crashes when I try to destroy Soviet mobile airfields in the south east corner of the map.

Best regards,
Zdenál

Hello gents. Strangely, I have an opposite feeling on the matter. I think devs are doing a really good job showing how WW2 pendulum swings. By the end od 1941 Germany realize how difficult victory may become. Failed German attack on Moscow followed by semi-successful Soviet winter offensive. Combine...

The Nordlicht path scenarios are easier and smaller (in map size and core deployment) than the Novorossiysk path. However...the Novorossiysk path contains in my opinion the best two scenarios in the entire DLC, with me giving the nod to Grozny when judging between the two. I think in fact that that...

Axis Operations already uses a separate ruleset from the base game, mostly for some minor changes like the rate that awards and medals are issued but also to disable time altering options that also break certain scenarios. Perhaps that ruleset can be expanded to cover paratrooper mechanics so retur...

If:
1) You consider AA a waste of resources, core slots and...
2) ... you really must destroy enemy fighters in one turn...
... then send your 5 fighters and be done with it

There is nothing else you can do, provided that conditions stated above must be met.

Btw is this change the reason why, we dont have any airlift transport point anymore? Cause we used to have 3 airlift. Oups - I did not even noticed it because I read the patch notes prior to AO 1942 campaign start. I have discarded paras from my rooster automatically then and did not check the UI f...

Hello. It has been a long time since I played AO SCW but I would try few following things: - Ignore them until you have the opportunity to soften them up by Anti Air. Then finish them with fighters. - Escort your bombers with fighters. If AI fighters attack your bombers anyway, they will have to eat...
