Re: Allies Victorious discussion?
I used P38 Lightnings for disrupting AA defense units, specifically the nasty 88mm flak guns, before unleashing a formation of B17s. The Lightnings, however, did not seem as good in the tank-busting role as the classic Stuka. I used B17s to soften-up (degrade efficiency and entrenchment) ground targ...

Re: How to hold a parade? Allies Victorious, Paris
See the thread titled "Allies Victorious: Paris Scenario Question"
Basically, just capture the hex with a US unit -- not a French unit -- to fulfill the objective; actually, capture may not even been required, perhaps it works even if you enter the hex (after it has been captured)?

Re: Allies Victorious: Paris Scenario Question
You need to capture the hex (Arc de Troimphe) with a *US* (not French) unit just like you had to capture the Eiffel Tower with a French (not US) unit for the "Raise the flag" objective. You can still use other units to clear the hex, the first Allied unit to enter the hex triggers the cond...

Handicapping multiplayer games?
Multiplayer scenarios seem to be intended to be balanced challenges (for all sides) but is it possible to adjust the difficulty or add a handicap so 2 (or more) players of different skill levels can compete fairly? Also, what does the difficulty setting do when starting a multiplayer scenario? Does ...

Custom Multi-player Campaigns?
I have enjoyed playing multi-player scenarios and single-player campaigns but is it possible to have multi-player campaigns? Thanks in advance.

Re: Allies Resurgent neutralize Foggia airfield
It takes 2 bomb runs per airfield so, if you have 3+ top-end strategic bombers (like a US B-17 or UK Lancaster), you should be able to complete the objective in 2 turns (plus travel-time to reach the airfields). Attacking the nearby AA unit (8.8 Flak) with other aircraft that have decent ground atta...

Re: Allies Resurgent-Armored Shermans cause save game corruption? and missing tool tips on campaign map
The armor mode change appears to work, for me, but I noticed an immediate efficiency degradation as soon as you move with the armor activated. Is that intentional?

Re: Any chance to have functioning commandos?
US Rangers are normal recruitable units and are quite effective. I believe this conversation is about the extra units that you can recruit with the UK specialization "Special Services" even though both can be considered commandos.

Re: Any chance to have functioning commandos?
the knife attack should be zero, should retreat at once and their vision radius should be expanded because once they are discovered they are dead. +1 to this idea. The Knife attack could be like placing a minefield where the unit moves one square after completing the task. Ideally, the Commando cou...

Re: Units have 20hp but only display 10
Was the Supply Ship attacked recently? Perhaps it still has some suppression (efficiency degradation) even though it has full health?

Re: Question about carrier
Landing fields and aircraft carriers have a limited number of storage slots. Are there any other aircraft onboard the carrier at the time you are trying to land? It may just be a generic message indicating that there are no spaces available for your aircraft to land.

Re: Update on steam not available
This version of "Master of Magic" appears to be a completely different product, built from the ground-up, and is not expected to release until sometime in 2022.
Compare Master of Magic Classic
to Master of Magic on Steam.

Where do you see that? I thought the "El Alamein" scenario was the last one in the "Allies Defiant" DLC.

Re: Is there a forum for "Valor and Victory?"
Ah, I see it now on the Matrix games forums: https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tt.asp?forumid=1811
Not what I was expecting because on Steam, at least, Slitherine is listed as the publisher.

Is there a forum for "Valor and Victory?"
"Valor and Victory" is expected to be released this week (June 17th) but I do not see a forum for it here. Perhaps it is just a permissions issue, as in I do not have access to view it, but I ask about it just in case it was an oversight or it was intended that we use the <shudder> Steam f...

Estimated release dates for "Allies Defiant" chapters 2 and 3?
I loved the first chapter of "Allies Defiant" and am anxiously awaiting further DLC so I can continue liberating Europe. Are there any estimates on dates on the subsequent chapters?
Thanks in advance.

Caster of Magic for Windows is listed as 'DLC'... Does this mean that we HAVE to have Master of Magic from Sliterine to participate in its beta??? Or beta will cover it... I was just admitted to the beta and, apparently, I need the Slitherine or Steam version of "Master of Magic" to parti...
