Hello, I would like to join Team Poland if they will have me
I'm pretty new to FOG II but played a lot of PBEM Pike and Shot and Sengoku and I'm a quick learner.

I love the surrender aspect of gameplay, and earning prestige for doing so.

It is a tactic that seperates the men from the boys, please do not lose this aspect of the game.

It forces a player to learn the what I call the hedge hog defense...meaning set up your units in such a way that they have ...

I think it comes down to this: fun and gameplay mechanics.

Surrendering a unit is fun especially when it's pinned by friendly troops. It's relatively rare in the game to completely surround an enemy.

What's not fun is if it moves back to safety behind the line three hexes deep and replenishes ...

try loading the game up fully. Then exiting the game. Then loading the game up again. Then exiting the game. Then on the 3rd load you should be able to see the replay. This issue happens to many different set ups and this solution may not work for you but it does for me.

Do not try and do the ...

What is happening? I am trying to play an MP battle with my friend and every time I log in I can't see his turns. He can't see mine, either.

The screen was freezing at the start of our turns and now it just sticks on the grey log-in screen and I hear all the noises of battle but can't see ...

Is it a known issue? Is there a workaround?

I was wondering about this as well already but haven't tried yet...

G could be Germany and S could be Soviet Union as common belligerents?


Oh snap, you are right. G might mean Germany not only Great Britain :/
For "S" letter I can't find any other equivalent than Soviets though :-)

I also ...

Yeah, good advice ^^

Have you seen these?

I haven't seen the one about the editor :-) I agree that this topics are mighty useful.
I plan ...

Well, additional/official points of view are always appreciated, of course. The above is what I/we experienced while playing, I am not aware of much else at this point...

However, there are also special triggers for more (or a bulk of) prestige (either for you or your opponent), like in the ...

Thanks guys, what you say seem very reasonable, though I noticed the "I think" part
Can we get some dev/official clarification?
I think many players would appreciate it

Conversely, the fact that there's one guy out there who says he loves game X does not make game X good. It simply makes it good in that one guy's mind. Hell there's someone out there who loves Panzer Strategy and that game is an awful Russian rip-off. Cream rises to the top- if you make 10 ...

I found some topics about how is prestige calculated in single player/campaign.
How is it in multiplayer skirmish (balanced) games?
-Is it per turn depending on the cities controlled?
-Or is it just per city cap?
-Or for destroying units?
-Anything else I haven't mentioned?

That's because it's vastly better. I mean if these games were in different categories like one being strategy and one being real-time shooter, you could argue that popularity is affected by the size of the target audience. But since they're literally both WW2 turn-based board games they ...

As I play both games I can say neither is inferior

PZC has:
- bigger player base

As others have said, PzC is weak in navy. It can still be fun, however. Orkney Islands and Reykyavik are two great naval scenarios from the Sealion campaign pack. So they still could have made Pacific Corps if they wanted to. Some suggest that they were trying to somehow protect Order of Battle ...

Does that mean Axis or Allies? I'm mighty confused.
Also, there are sometimes other letters like "S" or"G". I guess that G can be a Great Britain? But which side is A on eastern front I have no idea.

German field airstrips instead of soviet ones are situated all over soviet teritory.

Imphal-Kohima

Chindits can't land on any of their designated landing zones (ouch!).
They can land on regular allied airfields normally.
