Cool, might have to try that trick. Does it apply to single missions or all of them.

I play mostly random Skirmishes and it brings all the colours to life, but like Paul said it depends on personal preference, so just experiment by tweaking the numbers til you find what you like..)

I haven't got an Ipad, I play on my PC and sometimes get the message below when cycling through the terrains, but I simply ignore it and cycle to the terrain I want (Russia/Russia Snow/France etc which works fine). As an experiment I chose the "Missing ID's" terrain and this was the result, so the m...

Hey guys I've been experimenting with the Data > Lighting file with good results, because the default always seems to put the sun almost in front of us in Skirmishes, meaning the units and terrain graphics are in partial dull shadow. Below is the default file, so I changed the two red-arrowed lines ...

I was a bit worried about the Valentine for a minute mate, until I realised that you have got the 2 pdr Valentine, not the 6 pdr, in your test! The Valentine 6 pdr chances are 39, 43, 16 Your test confirms that there is a quite a discrepancy between the performance of the Churchill and the Cromwell...

Ok thanks guys, I just set up this test in the Editor and screenshotted the data readouts; the Valentine has got a 57mm gun and the other 3 have got 75mm's. (I ordered no movement or shooting as I just wanted clean uncluttered readouts on turn 1) SUMMARY- Chance to hit % / Chance to penetrate % / Ov...

I might be wrong, but I think the AP (and HE) Ratings are just there to give the player an idea of a units abilities, and they aren't actually used by the game in it's calculations. If I remember correctly, there are similar indicative values in Pike and Shot, which uses the same game engine. Hey P...

I've just been analysing the data of the tanks below and it seems the Churchill's 75mm gun is not as weak as we thought..:) I was going purely on its 'AP rating' (white circle), but if we look at it's other AP data (red underlined), in particular its 'AP Effectiveness' rating, we see that it rates 8...

The Churchill's thick front armour of 100 is above average for a medium tank, for example a Pz IVG is 80.
But the Churchill's 75mm gun is surprisingly weak with an AP rating of only 47 compared to the Pz IVG's 81, so I wonder if the BA devs mistakenly gave the Churchill a 57mm gun instead of 75mm?

..so long as there's some captured French equipment around for when I want to have some training division hold off against some Airborne soldiers. Ah, but in random Skirmishes there's no guarantee that the game will give us the type of tanks we want, that's what makes Skirmishes so exciting because...

..I don't want to go through all the work of uploading to Mediafire at a time when I am extremely busy working on other things. Of course, if the Slitherine server option fails to materialise I will have to use Mediafire links... Ok fine, if you're positive that Slith will get around to hosting the...

I am sorry for the delay in releasing these. I am waiting for something to happen, and it has not happened yet!

If you mean you're waiting for Slitherine to host them, why wait?
After all, I've been downloading your mods from Mediafire just fine, so why don't you just carry on using Mediafire?

Screenshot from Paul59's forthcoming BA2 British West Front mod, a French CharB Flamethrower in German colours makes an appearance in Aug 1944, not something you'd like to meet on a dark night..

As a matter of interest, will there be a random mission generator in PC2, or will we only be able to play the same scenarios over and over?

How is it on the Western Front so far Spike? Pretty good, I played another 4 Brit and US games today and everything went smoothly, I'm going to PM Paul and suggest he releases both mods now..:) Below some screenshots- https://i.postimg.cc/DyKfr0hR/ba2-bunk1.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/HnTMDCLT/ba2-cro...

By the way what years have you done for the Brits and US? So far I've seen you post screenshots of the Brits in 1940 and in 1944, any idea about 41 - 43 and 45?

Yup, the mod includes a full range of British units for every year of the whole war..

Wasn't it Monty who said "Good luck and happy hunting on the mainland!", or something to that effect?

Yup, here are the messages Monty and Ike sent to the troops before D-Day..

.."move" and "dash" (for infantry), basically allowing your units to cover lots of ground yet can still hit things quite easily.. Thanks, I've never been able to work out when it's best to use Dash. I mean, if an infantry unit is running on Dash like an Olympic sprinter won't the enemy be able to s...

I will make the British West Front Mod available when PoorOldSpike has finished testing. Hopefully it will be available through the in game download system.. I've played 3 West front battles so far (2 Brit and 1 US), I'll play another 12 over the weekend and if no major problems show up it should b...

An on-test screenshot from Paul59's forthcoming British West Front mod , my Crocodiles in "toasting mode", June 1944, their flamethrowers have a 2-tile range. (The purple tiles are the Crocs gun range using Paul's purple "range mod" which makes ranges easier to see than the default red) https://i.po...

Not meaning to be a bother, but could you take screenshots showing the step-by-step process?.. Whoa, Pauls releasing his two new Skirmish mods soon (West Front American and West Front British), I'm playtesting them right now..:) In fact here are a couple of screenshots from the Brit mod I played to...
