Lost at Sea

Post by jdarocha »

I am sure this has been asked before, but nonetheless; During a scenario (Dunkirk 45) one of my S-Boats ran out of fuel in the middle of the English Channel. It just floated there for the entire scenario, and I could not move it. I am guessing that there is no way to refuel it.

Secondly, is there a mod or cheat that allows you to purchase naval units?

Thanks

If you are using a PC you can use cheat codes Control+shift+alt+c Fuel XXX to supply XXX amount of fuel.
I think it sets the fuel to XXX rather than increasing it by XXX. Boats are automatically resupplied in a friendly port, but as with planes and carriers you have to be in the port not next to it.

If you are opposed to cheat codes or can't access them you could disband it (press D when the unit is selected) but you get no prestige in the game, only between games. You can sleep for a turn with control+z. PG Forever allowed sending a unit to sleep for the rest of the game but I don't know if you can do that in Panzer Corps. Sleep and disband would both save you doing anything with the unit afterwards.

I only play on a PC so don't know which of these would work on ipads etc.

Never played that scenario. The only time I've used S-Boats is during some of the Norwegian scenarios & I never paid much attention to the fuel. Do they resupply when they spend a turn in a port like aircraft do when they end a turn next to an airfield? Most of the time they are mere cannon fodder for me - I try to sacrifice them as targets so the bigger ships won't have to absorb the fire from a British cruiser or aircraft...

Perhaps as their fuel runs low, S-boats should have their dangerous hexes shown like aircraft's are. Just a thought.

Actually it's "z" to sleep a turn and "shift + z" to sleep the rest of the scenario.

Well spotted - I must have pressed "z" before typing my answer!

Just in case you're serious, Puma's MOD is FREE.

Purchase is just the name. It means you can purchase ships.

I thought the thing was suggesting that you purchase a mini-mod, which doesn't make a lot of sense seeing as you don't have to pay.

:idea: Just worked out what it means :)
