Re: Soft Cap

The tooltip is just an extra bit of info you get when you point the mouse at the prestige panel in the top right of the screen, so you don't need to check the manual for that one. When version 1.3 is enabled, as well as the prestige per turn display, it should show a percentage figure, which is how...

Re: Soft Cap

The soft cap looks at the average cost of your core units (but not SE units) at any point in the game. If this is over 400, it reduces the amount of prestige awarded, although above some limit, you always get at least 20% of the standard amount. Say you have expensive units or a lot of overstrength...

Re: Soft Cap

As a returned to the game I've been playing along quite happily, but what actually is soft cap? I feel like a total pleb for asking, but I cant find a straightforward explanation on the forum?

Re: Yet another steam (Digital Distro) thread

Do you think it is acceptable to have a membership say for example - a Disneyland year pass and only allow the person who's ID is on the card to use it or this a violation of rights? Never been to Disneyland! Seriously though, trying to think of equivalents, like being a member of a gym, I would sa...

Re: Yet another steam (Digital Distro) thread

Couple of points to this. Firstly I have used Steam for many games, just because I had to, starting from Empire TW. From there I did actually find quite a few other games that I enjoyed playing. I've always felt uneasy about it from the start, the going online issue is not really a problem to me as ...

Re: What game would you like to see next?

Russia, please. It will be interesting to play the war from a Russian perspective. If there's a possibility and there is demand, maybe expand the Soviet expansion to something like the German DLCs. If you go this route, obviously a lot of defensive scenarios at the start and more offensive scenario...

Re: AK Palestine Scenario - SOOW*

The fact that on turn three two of the oil rigs are destroyed and the other is down to half strength so a DV is already gone. Maybe next time I'll try landing the gliders next to the first rig instead of taking an extra turn to get them to defend the others. Did think about trying for the airfield,...

Re: AK Palestine Scenario - SOOW*

1. Allies will need several turns to reach oil pumps from South. So you'll have some time to clear Northen area and restore your troops after it. 2. It's better to abandon one oil pump and concentrate efforts. If I've read the victory conditions correctly though, dont you have to defend all three a...

*Save Our Oil Workers! Havent got too far with this one yet and am interested in how others have got on. I'm just wondering if I missed a trick at deployment and could've used some more glider or parachute troops to help out. Basically I'm 3 turns in and I reckon my Southern offensive is going as we...

Re: Gazala hints?

I love this scenario, first play of it I got absolutely mullered, ended up with bits and pieces all over the shop. Second time around I was a bit more careful and managed a DV, as per usual it was on the last turn though and a close run thing. In the north I used the good German infantry units combi...

Re: Dash to the wire

Personal view is to avoid it like the plague! It is just too tough IMO, you'll have too many units tied up in what is an offensive that would have very little chance of success. The garrison doesnt seem to want to come out and play, so it is best to leave them in situ to work on their sun tans.

Re: SS Units

I find this quite interesting as I am new to computer based simulations. The question I would ask is, I come from a board gaming background, what about all the old Avalon Hill, SPI, etc... games from earlier years? There was certainly no censorship of those games - were they just not sold in Germany?

Re: Your favorite Afrika Korps scenario?

Only got as far as Gazala as not had much time to play over the weekend. That is my favourite so far though, mainly because I lost it. I felt I lost it, not due to game mechanics, but to poor decision making on my behalf, which is how I want games to be; the mechanics should almost be secondary to t...

Greetings; I've been playing the new DLC Afrika Corp. I've have a question for the community. What is the best way or unit to clear mines? Limited experience so far, but I've found the best to use are pioneer units. Apart from that I use any other top quality infantry as next best or artillery and ...

Re: Gazala madness! *spoilers*

So, as a follow up to that what would I do differently? I reckon that there is no point going for the main line in the early turns. Similarly it is better to keep the airforce well clear, the AA defence is just too strong and my strategic bombers are not strong enough to suppress it. Next time I thi...
