In the 1.20 rules there is a cap on prestige to stop the "snowball effect" where prestige builds up to huge amounts where you can always max out over-strength and therefore remove any sort of challenge to protect your units. The new cap is called "soft" as it is flexible dependin...

Thank you for letting me participate in the beta test. It was a lot of fun and I hope I contributed in some way. I certainly learned a lot more about the mechanics of the game from all the knowledgeable (and funny) people on the forum.

BTW. Not sure if this has been mentioned but the briefing says you have to "Destroy all but 25 Axis units" for a Victory. Still does this, is it a mistake? I also got a "New Equipment" notice on turn 11 for a Pz IVH in Allied markings. I just quoted myself, does this cause a par...

I have had real life interruptions since beta 4 came out and, rather than carry on the final missions with a depleted core, I decided to start over and see if the game-play balance was improved at all. I am up to this scenario and so far finding the game on Colonel not so much of a prestige battle a...

FM levels now Patton Eisenhower Montgomery. Nice! But even as I am British shouldn't the order be Eisenhower Montgomery Patton? :shock: (I know it may depend on the style of play) Patton was famously stationed at Knutsford in Cheshire during the build up to D-day which is only a few miles from where...

Come on monkspider, you could take out that fort with that armoured train of yours! I do find it interesting that I found this scenario rather easy while others found it very tough. Yet in later scenarios where I got slaughtered, others cruised through on FM! That is the beauty of this game though, ...

Hi Gompel, I am fairly new to this also and I have tried to keep any misc comments within the scenario they occurred. I'm sure the Mods read everything so your thoughts will get picked up there. One thing I do know is that most forums like to keep the number of posts down so when you do a report on ...

Hi there Praetorreich36. Sorry, but there is no way I want New Zealand troops classifying along with South Africans! Perish the thought mate. Obviously no rugby fans amongst you or you wouldn't even consider this blasphemy! :shock: Gurkhas sounds like a great idea though. Seriously, New Zealand is p...

I have to restrain myself from automatically clicking to skip them every time these splash screens pop up, because I then kick myself when later in the turn I have a question about the victory conditions. Couldn't agree more. Some time I have to blunder my way through the first turn just so I can g...

Hi Razz1. Great comments, here's my input. Meteor: agree with your logic, but this is still a game and I would like something to take on the Me 262 later, that said it appears way too early. Didn't really use it in Normandy, but awesome for those pesky FW 190's. With the new prestige rules I am conc...

P-47N has a fuel of 236, while SE version is 79.

I like that the Crocodile is a specialist soft attack unit. I keep one for taking out infantry in town hexes where it's close attack of six makes it deadly. Makes you want to mix up your units a bit. Mosquito's were always the best Allied Tac in AG and in reality were deadly in a variety of missions...

Missions you have to play multiple times to get a chance for a Triumph seems a bit cheesy imho. Couldn't agree more. I've been stating this like a broken record the whole way through, especially when I'm grumpy because my prestige just got hammered :shock: I gained a triumph at first go on Colonel ...

Beta 3, Colonel, triumph 17/18. Still ended up with hardly any prestige. First, I have not noticed any problems with hero allocation, seems normal to me. It would be nice to have more of a counter-attack/fighting withdrawal type of thing triggered, although the King Tiger did come at me, also becaus...

Gives a different feel from PC, very nice and easy on the eyes.

Being of British birth I was always under the impression the George Cross was for group or non front line heroism, I believe Wikipedia supports this.
In my opinion Military Cross would be best, then DCM and then VC. But I think they look great anyway.

I can't say I'm a fan of this reducing artillery idea. At least not at range 2. You simply do not use most artillery at below that range as it is too vulnerable, all soft towed units are generally behind the front line so they have to use at least range 2. At least reduce the effect for range 3 or t...

I have now played this from both the British and American point of view. Both times I cleared the map without losing any units but I have to say it was a completely different experience playing the Americans. My British core was much more experienced as I had used it since day one, but the greener U...

That's a great idea. Being able to switch airborne units during deployment has already helped me a lot tactically, and this would add even more.

16/16, victory, Colonel, lost one HW infantry, still had over 1500 prestige left. Updated everything I could beforehand! Took note of the previous comments, and my own knowledge of what happened here historically, and set up camp at Thala & Tebessa. I got up on the rivers where possible and dest...
