This is a very fascinating thread! I am glad that Kerensky is open to doing some ahistorical paths in the future, we will just have wait and see exactly how it plays out but based on the quality of the AO series so far, I am sure it is going to be lit. 8) Well it's fascinating just how completely d...

There exists an alternate reality where Germany failed to invade France, and people on the internet put forward the argument that Germany could not possibly have conquered France, owing to things like tank production, being outnumbered, resource concerns, etc. The idea of that campaign concluding in...

All in on 4A, captured planes. That's 2 votes because mine is already on the board.

I'm all for a bonus channel islands scenario in 40

Fascinating stuff! I am playing the allies rn, and had a few questions about the reinforcement schedule, mainly the timing of the winter counter attack dudes. I was wondering when they show up, the Germans just surrendered Minsk and the troops at Smolensk are the only things in their way to Moscow....

Perhaps an easier fix would be that its movement is calculated starting from any hex surrounding the airfield, not just the one it is currently occupying. In other words, the game thinks of the airfield hex and those surrounding it as one giant hex instead of 9 different spaces. Therefore, when cal...

Started a game with Spiffing Brit. Me as Axis and him as the Allies. I'll let you know who comes out on top! Great! What version are you playing, BE 2.0 or 2.15? And are you playing on the Slitherine server or by sending game saves by e-mails? 2.15 over the Slitherine server. Started a game with Sp...

The OST is actually one of the big improvements of PzC2 over PzC1. I listen to it while I exercise

I think we just have to admit that these things are down to taste.

I have that good gift tank from SCW and I have it OS 15 with 3 heroes: Ignores entrenchment, enemy doesn't shoot back if higher initiative, and ignores support units. Consequently I have removed artillery and strategic bombers from my core :lol: Some other good combinations are: Double attack and Ta...

Maybe I'm just playing wrong (or right?), but I never find artillery to be a big deal, offense or defense. They're much weaker than from PzC1. I feel better off fielding another tank. At worst they'll do about 1 point of damage/a couple points of suppression; in Ebro I killed the 4 in the north by r...

I'm not ready to completely give up on AI Allies just yet. Maybe in 2nd Generation implementation... We'll see how players respond to AI that has preset orders instead of having to fiddle with giving it orders. And not being forced to rely on it to do extremely vital infantry duties. And separate A...

I do, however, really like a meaningful branch. But a really meaningful branch is such a crazy big fork in the road, it can never really fit into a campaign. A branch that really changes things significantly, it needs to be its own campaign that doesn't link back up at the end of the 'branch'. From...

I dislike branches generally. I don't replay campaigns (unless I lose them), so I want the most scenarios possible. I liked those old PG2 campaigns with 50 scenarios in them :) . The one exception is I like it where there is a bonus scenario for doing well in a campaign, after which it returns to th...

That Gothic Line scenario doesn't have a single Italian unit on it. It's all German enemies. I'm not convinced a puppet government propped up by Germany constitutes still being considered 'Italy'. :P That's like saying you can keep playing with a French CORE after the 1940 surrender, because Vichy ...

You really have to be more careful with your units in this installment, I feel. I'm a very aggressive player, and while I built up a decent prestige reserve in the early scenarios, I had burnt through it all by Crusader. I was only barely able to beat Gazala at all, simply because my core had collap...

The music is really on point. In PzC1 I just muted it and played a podcast or something, but in this installment I actively listen to it. I think it's "Light Track v2" which really captures the sense of optimism combined with a looming expectation of disaster, which is so fitting for the ...

Reviews are essential for visibility and we always ask that you provide them. But personally, they don't bother me too much. It's nice to get good ones ( though apparently I've never been able to handle a compliment :oops: ). While not everyones opinion is valid, the bad ones, often being more deta...

I think what some are reacting to (and is what made me no buy the game) is that it seems like PC1 and OOB had a baby. It is neither PC1 nor OOB but a hybrid. Just my thoughts from the outside and after reading some reviews. Could you please elaborate on this statement, because I'm really clueless e...
