Re: Rommel in Normandy: Initial Assessment

I think those who have identified the AI as the problem are correct. When you're playing as the allies in BA you have to use specific tactics to defeat the superior German armour - either a, get up close and hit rear armour, or b, attack with several tanks at once to suppress them. The AI hasn't bee...

Re: Rommel’s Panzers strike Battle Academy!

Anyone else feel a touch guilty playing the "Lone Tiger" scenario? It's good fun, but clearly based on the Michael Wittmann ambush where he wiped out an armoured column on his own! It was pretty much a massacre.

Re: Movement

I find this especially relevant with infantry in cover, I lose count of the amount of times I've ordered infantry to move without carefully checking the route only for them to step out of cover and get killed. It would be better if the default was for units to always choose the safest route if avail...

Re: New Feature List

I find in BA there are a few defensive missions, especially defending Arnham and the Sealion Lion canal mission where your victory is heavily reliant on your single anti gun not being destroyed. It got me thinking that in real life during a defensive situation if the men manning a heavy weapon are k...

Re: Husky

Just on the last mission, just want to say how much I've enjoyed it, especially the last three massive missions - lots of big ones like this in BA2 please! Also the new importance of engineers adds a cool new dimension to the game. Good work chaps!

Re: iPad multiplayer

A push notification would be a message that pops up on the ipad via the app to tell you it's your turn. An email notification does the same job though so I've set that up now. Cheers!

Feature request for Slitherine - proper push notifications please!

iPad multiplayer

Apologies if this has been asked before, but is it possible to get push notifications for multiplayer turns on iPad? How do I set it up.

That Axis gun in the screenshot looks properly scary... not looking forward to facing that badboy!

Re: Husky?

Anyone else just getting a waiting timer with a nice picture of a soldier looking at his watch when they try to IAP the extension on iPad? Am I just being impatient?

Re: Unification of Italy: Strategy/Tactics????

I've just won this scenario for the first time on iPad. First time I tried it I was the Romans and found my resources too stretched trying to defend several fronts at once and kept losing citys. I started again as one of the tribal nations at the foot of the country, I found this much easier to mana...

Re: New Feature List

Can I make the following suggestions - Merge depleted infantry units - I'd like to be able to put those two squads with only one man left together! Units start battles as green/veteran/elite rather than levelling up during each scenario. In scenario levelling up could be based on specific achievemen...
