It happens in modded games as well.

Devs?

Panzer Corps 2 is the closest equivalent to this game. An OoB2 may see the light in the future but afaik there is no roadmap to it.

Campaign branches are cool, but I never implemented them in my own mod because they are extra long to test. I'd CERTAINLY love scenario statistics of all kinds. And yes I concur the lack of a tre "skirmish mode" and units encyclopedia is a bit strange. Unfortunately it seems the game is at...

I'd say yes.

Yes it is their command range. I don't know if it can be deactivated, though.

As others said, having two times the same faction is ok. I like to do it to split big armies and relieve some of the Command&Control weight off the player's shoulders. I also think it's more wargame-like to have the player not be able to micromanage the entire faction from time to time, and givi...

2) I went nuts with my maps, Part 1: I'm not just talking about size (see next point), but in detail. All of the "decorations" (buildings, trees, rocks, etc.) count when your computer is loading the scenario and running it. Result: It takes a long time to load my scenarios and, on some co...

The one change I'd wish for the most would be the ability to stack more than one unit in a single hex, making them much more susceptible to losses in exchange for the ability to attack en masse. You desperately want to break the enemy lines there? Ok, you can stack two infantry units and go to town,...

Depends. Some secondary objective unlocks big bonus, or alternative campaign paths, or more units, etc etc...

Thats a questionable advise. 1. If you spread out your attacks you do more damage, but you receive more damage as well. 2. The crippled units can retrat, repair and return some turns later. I would almost always go for the killing blow. Thats even more important against ground targets. All OoB play...

I think it works like you said, albeit reducing defender strength by 20% seems a bit strange indeed.

That counterattack when you got close to Prokhorovka must have been brutal. Good thing you noticed that, here's what happened there: As you know the level changes objectives mid level or so, and I suddenly found myself needing to bolt it to Prokhorovka, so who lead the spearhead there? 3 tanks, one...

19/7/1944 Sensing the danger, the 52° Ironsides tried to retreat to Miskolc, but it discovered the road was occupied by plenty of Yugoslavian units. The 44° CAS Group proceeds to devastate the isolated British unit, that is then annihilated by the 11th Tenkovske and 4° Huszàr Brigade’s attack. My a...

13/7/1944 The British 400th Infantry Division that was defending Pernik takes me by surprise with a daring counterattack, decimating the II Oklopni Korpus’ HQ and wounding several high officers. The coordination of the offensive will surely suffer for a while. The 1st Mehanizovane and 188th Pesadij...

Brewster Aeronautical T-7 The success of the T-5 and in general of the naval aviation arm propelled the BA into wealth and influence. With the Yugoslavian navy developing heavier hulls and stronger AA guns, however, the T-5 was due to an improvement. A completely new airframe was developed, includi...

8/7/1944 North of Pernik the British commit another Ironsides Brigade to the fight: the 55° Brigade assaults the 1st Mehanizovane Division’s positions in the western forest, trying to relieve the surrounded 45th Mechanized Division. I resist the attempt, but losses are high and force me to reshuffl...

ZMT-44 While very resource-efficient, the 1942 (p) update of the old ZMT-40 was inadequate to address the basic shortcomings of the original chassis. By 1943, the introduction of the new line of British “Destroyer” heavy tanks meant that any kind of armored engagement outside the protection of addi...

The triumph at the Battle of the Archipelago has crushed the back of the Australis Fleet and further sunk the British morale. Facing a complete collapse, the British have concentrated their last valuable troops at Budapest, trying to keep at least something out of four years of bloody war. As it hap...

Either there are too many teams or units with the same hex to achieve. I'm currently trying to solve this issue in the land version. Have you tried using the 'defend hex' combination instead of 'capture hex'? Land battles don't have this problem and I'm sure it's not a same hex target so I'm stumpe...
