[Gameplay Bug][Falaise Pocket Allies][New] Scenario ends early with secondary objectives still open

It is turn 9 of 15 and the scenario has ended because I pocketed the Germans even though I have not yet seized Chambois but still have time to do so.

Irritating UI bugs in the latest version

The unit deploy panel pops up at the start of every turn. This drives me batty

And when using a selector in the settings menu it doesn't clear the old selected item when highlighting a new one

Re: Burma Road Kawkareik Pass

Thanks for the comment. Yes, I can do something like that too. But it is very gamey and it depends on knowing what the computer is going to do. I try to avoid this sort of tactic. Which is why I don't play maximum difficulty. There are all sorts pf sneaky tactics to beat the AI, but I hate using on...

The School specs are great because they guarantee any units you have that die can be brought back at vet1. My infantry sometimes take an absolute clobbering, so being able to bring them back with vet is a huge savings.

im not sure if the the volturo line campaign was playtested on hardest difficulty. that scenario is just plain stupid, you cant use your air force at the most critical spots because the northern part of the map is littered with 3 star 13 str flak88-s and it is generally an extremely frustrating eve...

Also a possibility, and probably the truth in terms of implementation, but IMO it’s easiest to think of it as 20hp.

No suppression, afaik ships can’t be suppressed. It was strafed by a fighter

PS : here is a lived example in computer programming :

1.3 + 1.3 = 2.6

If you round each number for the display, you get:

1 + 1 = 3 :shock:
Yes, it’d been like that for several turns.

Re: Any chance to have functioning commandos?

I’ve said in the past and will say again, commandos are pretty good BUT they require planning to get value out of them. The big advantage is the ability to dump them wherever by sky (or in some cases boat) and have them spot stuff or kill arty/aa/bunkers in relative safety. They’ll lose to infantry ...

Units have 20hp but only display 10

https://i.imgur.com/PNzuHd4.png I've wondered about this one for awhile and finally found a good picture showing it. The unit is at 10 displayed strength, but is giving off 19 rather than 20 supply. This implies both that it has lost .5 hp and that the game tracks 20 actual HP (or 10hp in 0.5 incre...

Re: Order of Battle Would be Awesome in WWI Setting

The eastern front was substantially more mobile, with the development of shturm tactics for the Brusilov offensive during the winter of 1915 leading to a restoration of mobility by the Russians in 1916. The subsequent collapse of the state and complete loss of morale/discipline/control put paid to a...

Re: Questions about certain unit's stats

Thanks, useful info. What's the highest efficiency reduction attack in the entire game? I don't believe I've seen an attack higher than 30 efficiency damage. Also, does the presence of adjacent enemy units prevent or slows a unit in gaining entrenchment and regain lost efficiency? I am talking of e...

Re: Cavalry speed and stats

I think they should just be treated as faster infantry, as far as I know they fought unmounted. This is false. As late as 42 divisional cavalry charges were still being used in Rzhev as detailed in Glantz's multi volume coverage of the fighting there. This meant a saber charge on the enemy, typical...

Re: just returned to OOB

Experience is very valuable on fighters, tactical bombers, engineers and armor. On infantry it is nice to have, on artillery and strategic bombers you basically get it for free. AA and AT will basically never get vet so no reason to stress with them. In air other than model advantage and AA support ...

At the moment, all cavalry units are at 6. Right as all regular infantry, marines, commando, paratroopers, jap snipers, even many tanks... Heavies & engineers have 4. Only the Chinese Militia has 5... It's really the only infantry unit to have 5, by the way. But, compared to some regular chines...
