If I remember correctly (having not play it in years), in PG1 an individual unit had to be outside an enemy ZOC and spend a turn resupplying. This alone, in my opinion, completely changed the way individual battles were fought (whether to fight or resupply, hold a hex or not, aircraft returning ...

The KV-2 was made to shoot at concrete, not against metal, it's a self-propelled gun, not a combat tank, despite it's an heavy tank.


yes well ok. but what happens if they shoot HE shells on Panthers without ammo? Do you think the Panther crew will survive a rain of HE shells? KV2 commanders see ...

10 strong KV-2 vs 8 suppressed encircled without ammo Panther

KV-2 does nothing.. Tank commanders don't know about HE?

Not a single loss for the Panther...

Totally out of whack. The game mechanics are totally not intuitive and don't make sense really.

One of the things I didn't like about PC1 (and now PC2) is the entire "elite replacement" mechanic. My argument, short version, is that no matter how great your unit is you WILL get diluted with "green" replacements. If you get a lot of casualties, that experience is NOT replaceable and has to be ...

units can heal very fast even if in the ZOC of units
But it is very dangerous, as it does not heal directly, what is healed is first supressed.
If you stand attacking those units, they will be easily destroyed.

So, when I want to heal a unit which really needs it, I first remove it afar from ...

one issue is that units can heal very fast even if in the ZOC of one or two units.

unless its encircled, the unit just heals.

In PC1, you could blitz cuz you just had to put at least 1 unit close to it... 2 units was better, and 3 units was the best and you didn't have to encircle. here in PC2 ...

I think units get to retreat way too much in one turn. Sometimes it will take 4 or 5 of my units to kill one enemy unit as it will keep retreating, and I chase it across the map. Now I don't use mass attack as often due to my units needing to chase the enemy.


Normally I would dismiss your ...

about ZOC

i was surprised to learn that Overrun does not care about ZOC..

If you can move after attacking with overrun inside a ZOC, why can't you move inside a ZOC by default with tanks?

It does not make sense.

Can you seriously not kill enemy units? Do they always get away? And retreat more than once?


play MP games.

its the norm.

In one game..at a choke point.. our units just stare at each other.. one player attacks means a net loss of prestige. the attacked unit retreats.. heals and come back 2 ...

Soviet planes cannot reach south area from any of their back based airports. One plane if lucky can barely get it if the game decides it gets the south west hex on the mid back base. Which is just luck

Entrenchment is really uber powerful, especially in cities.

The paras are losing in the screenshot because 9/10 entrenchment is like a 72% ish damage reduction.

However, once they lay into them a bit, that figure should drop and the paras should start winning...

But yeah, in this game infantry ...

What I really want to see is the 'paratroopers so OP they are map breaking' crowd to have a discussion with the 'paratroopers are the most worthless unit in the game' crowd.

you also have to fix this that just happened.

I have like 4 units encircled. I attack one encircled tank inside a forest with infantry. Infantry does good.. Tank moves OUT of the encirclement circle. Its basically unfair.. On hits turn, he can get completely OUT of encirclement.

That tank ...

That's not a solution. You set overwatch and then attack with the first unit. Ok if it retreats... but if it doesn't you lose an attack.


It's a foundation of an idea, but clearly more would be necessary to properly implement it into this game. :wink:

The solution is to make complete encirclement.
If you can't then that's why the target may evade some attacks. That's normal.
This is not a free movement, it is paid on the next turn, where the target willl have so less movement.
And you are happy when you're own encircled units can evade some ...

PC2 allows you to swap units.. that's great

one of the most annoying thing yet is not being able to attack together.

2 units are next to another one. No movement left for either. The first unit attacks.. By luck or by elements beyond of the control of the player, the attacked unit retreats.. that ...
