@13obo thanks for the excellent advice. right now I'm playing at 3 difficulty until I digest the ins and outs of the rules(especially the los in the game). even playing at 3 dif, I keep going back to regular infantry on my retries. you bring up the point that has been nagging me....buy seasoned repl...

Hi uran21, I'm always in the shadows lol. getting used to the UI and all. I really like the paras rules. makes them very interesting and fun to use. ok: no limit on transports soooooooooooo, this changes my strategy as far as infantry use goes. have to go back and see how many I can squeeze in from ...

I looked around the forum and missed or cannot find if there is a limit to paras transports in a scenario. I'm playing Blitzkrieg camp at the moment getting the ins and outs of things OoB. Norway I purchased 2 Falls and learned how to deploy and send in transport to wanted area on the map. that gave...

@Mojko tried IE also making sure the java was enabled same result. thanks for help. i'll get back to the tool later. it could be in the 1709 update on my end. right now I,m in the middle of OoB trying out different equipment I want to try at Minsk start by going back to the Mlawa. really like this g...

@Mojko satellite download speed 40-50(I live way out in the boonies) use edge and tried chrome, same results, speed and trying to load tool. win10 build 1709 64 bit. tried this morning my time 4:am USA and waited for a few minutes same results. I do not have the steam version of the game. I purchase...

@Mojko ok thanks. when I go to that tool page, all it does is spin(like it is trying to load). maybe i'm not waiting long enough. will figure it out. anyways....I also hate myself for waiting so long to try this game, I AM HOOKED!!!! thanks to all of you involved with its creation. back to the tool ...

I downloaded the tool but I still have to use a spreadsheet to read the units.csv file in the data folder. what am I doin wrongy?

I agree that the Panzer 3 is a bit of a dead end. You could retire your Panzer 2 when it gets to 3* and wait until Tigers or Panthers are available, or convert it to a Panzer 4 . However, the Flammpanzer 2 should become available shortly after you get the special Panzer 2. They can be tricky to kee...

I'm at Zhitomir deploy: 33213 p before upgrades etc. I think the prestige soft cap is trying to start. unless my math is wrong, I keep getting 49 points on some minor objective wins. did a test at Smolensk41 start a few times to check and if I place all my fighters at 13 strength on the map with oth...

Stalingrad is what's been on my mind since I started the v1.25 rules. I had no problem with the classic v1.14 version rules. actually was boring playing v1.14 rules at FM and stopped playing the game at Stalingrad until recently reading NOSB's thread here. I am concerned about the prestige soft cap...

Wouldnt waste money on new infantry, you will get more bonus inf along the way with plenty of heroes+experience... Five units doesn't sound enough in 1940, most likely he had lost some along the way. One or two extra would do. What i do not understand is the number of fighters - never had more than...

going to purchase some green infantry, 1 more 88 and use my captured tanks at Maginot Line and the up coming 1941 Belgrade-Crete scns. Wouldnt waste money on new infantry, you will get more bonus inf along the way with plenty of heroes+experience... I'd agree with this if it wasn't for the Stalingr...

Progress... Start of Dijon 1940 (17.7k Prestige) Units in reserve: 3x Grenadier (one is +1 attack, one +1 defense, one is +1 initiative) 4x paratroopers (one is +4 movement, +3 initiative, amazing unit) 1x alpine infantry with +1 defense hero 1x pioneer 6x PZIV D (two are +1 def, one is +1 init, on...

You could try adjusting the Combat Random settings in the Advanced Tab. The middle setting (Dice chess) allows a variation of +/-2 from the predicted result. This allows reasonable variability while removing the more extreme results - eg 10 strong Polish Infantry all rolling 1% to hit, while your u...

The PZ IV D's are not cutting it at Kharhov '42. I restarted scenario and upgraded them all to PZ IV F/2 's. Took me down to 28k ish prestige and will try scenario again. At least the upgrades to G variant won't be as expensive. Sold the two recon units to gain a little back. have you overstrengthe...

The captured Polish 105mm gets at extra shots each attack compared with the 150mm due to higher Rate of Fire. With a bit of experience it supresses a lot on soft targets but doesn't kill so many. The heavier 150 has a lower rate of fire (80% I think) which means it is more likely to get kills but w...

overstrength mistake: I forgot about the losing your overstrength when upgrading out of class! was going to upgrade the captured 105 arty to a 15 cm sFH 18 but I will lose the 12 strength. well still learning lol. so this means I will have to get those 38(t)'s in the field asap. or anything else I p...

At Narvik, this is proving to be quick economical. I have 10k prestige before I start and all of my units in reserve are: 2x grenadiers (starting wehrmacht upgraded) 2x paratroopers 3x alpine infantry 1x pioneer 1x PZ IA (starting tank) 1x PZ 38 (picked it up free in one scenario) 1x SE PZ IIIF 2x ...

My infantry all still have Opel Blitzes. The Airborne infantry have no motorized transport so I can drop them. If you surround an enemy fighter with 2 or more planes before you attack there is a swarm bonus. swarm: I forgot all about that with my fighters :idea: oh well I got them Polish fighters i...
