In the "capture the fort" scenario I kept running out of time. Sometimes just one, simply because I dropped my infantry one square to soon, not knowing that just one turn remained. Frustrating.

No one seems to have that problem overhere, so I wonder: is there some turn counter visible on your screens that I don't have?

UPS!

You are right!

There is no "turn counter"!

On the left top corner there should be actually a counter which is counting turns reversely.

Do you mean that something is wrong on my side (I had problems before with CEAW-CNAW) or is it a problem in the current software?

I can't check from here but if the turn counter is missing it is unlikely to be only for you. I assume you have not hidden the info with the I button top left?

When I play there is a turn counter at the top that says:

Turns remaining : 20

and it counts down each turn.

i don't have a counter either.

Have you tried toggling it back on with the i icon?

Hi im having the same problem unless im totally blind and cant see it for looking. I try toggeling the "I" button, but it just displays the total amount of turns you have to complete the mission which is 12 I believe. I gather it is suppose to count down backwards so you can see the amount of turns you have actually remaining after each turn. No biggy.

Counter works for me. It is small but it is there.

if you did not disable the info (i) button it should always display remaining turns (if there is a timer in the mission) in the top left corner. If it does not, is it restricted to certain missions or throughout the game?

I have played the first mission from the Normandy campaign which has a counter and counts down. However none of the missions fron the African campaign have a counter regardless what I press?

Counters only appear if there is a time limit to complete the mission.

For the first mission "Capture the ford!" there is a time limit "12 turns!"

Counters only appear if there is a time limit to complete the mission.

Well that's what I assumed. But it does not show up here. In the "capture the fort" mission I see when I reach (or fail) a scenario objective. I also see that there's 12 turns in which I have to reach the goals (which remains fixed at 12).
But I do not see a turn counter. Regardless if I hide or show by clicking on I. There is NO counter visible.

I'm running windows 7 ultimate-64 bit and have a GeForce GTX 295.
Apart from that counter, the rest of the game seems to run ok but obviously there might be other stuff that I don't see...

Edit: I tried playing in other resolutions (not full-screen) but that does not change anything. Same problem, no turncounter.

That's the first desert mission is it? I don't think there was supposed to be a limit in that... If there is one I never noticed it. I guess I always completed it within 12 turns - pretty easy if you know exactly what's on the map and where

I'll take a look.

No counter here, too !

Would be nice, if there would be a counter in every scenario (custom, campaign, multiplayer), because it is a turn based game and I want to keep track of in which round I am.
And when I replay the scenario I maybe want to try to beat my previous attempts and win faster.

Like a british officer and snob would say: "A counter isn't a can do, it is a must have."

I think perhaps the distinction here is that there isn't a turn limit on the battle, only on the achivement to cap them all inside 12 turns. Agree that ideally it would count down on the achievement too.

Is there anything in the game design/concept which rules out the implementation of an always visible turn indicator ?

Even in scenarios without any turn limitations at all I would be happy to keep easily track of the already played rounds.

Please keep this in mind for a next patch because I really like the game, its style and its mechanics !!!

There's no turn counter for me in Africa, but it's there in Normandy and Ardennes.

My Africa games have turn counter... at least for most missions.
