Re: SCW on higher levels

In early campaigns traits like met.planning or aggresive deploy help a lot when the turn limit is an issue. There are several nobrainer neg traits to get the needed points in early war. eq, "no artillerie" is an easy pic in SCW, as well as force dispersion. Absolutely. That reminded me th...

Re: SCW on higher levels

I recently replayed SCW on Generalissimus. I managed to achieve all objectives, but it was wicked hard. Ebro wiped out most of my unit experience and prestige. I was able to rebuild prestige through captures in Madrid, but most units had not returned to pre-Ebro levels of experience by the end of th...

Re: Fog of War Setting

Just to clarify, for anyone who might be confused: In my earlier post, I conflated "Fog of War" and "Fear of the Unknown." "Fog of War" is a setting , turned on by default, that prevents you from seeing enemy units outside of your own units' spotting range. "Fear o...

Re: Fog of War Setting

I never tried that excisting "fog of war" trait so far, when units cant move into the dark.How does the first AO scenario work with it? Do you need to move all your planes step by step to cross the middlesea? Seville: Combine Fog of War with Flexible Command. Split the recon plane. Fly on...

Re: Fog of War Setting

That would make an interesting negative trait, wouldn't it? "Myopic Command: Spotting range reduced by half." Recon would become much more critical.

Re: Ideas for Panzer Corps 2

Churchill, in his memoirs, wrote that the Battle of the Atlantic, not the Battle of Britain, was the most terrifying episode of the war, the point at which the UK came closest to defeat.

Re: Panzer Corps 2: Frontlines - Bulge announcement

Yeah, I suspected that the planes would be the problem. Their range compared to any ground unit would be too disproportionate. It would require huge maps that would kill the spirit of the game. I think maybe the best solution is to set the scale of the hex to accommodate ground units, and then all ...

Re: Panzer Corps 2 Pacific DLC Shelved

(1) Enough with the personal attacks on Kerensky. The Panzer General franchise has always been German-centric: IT'S IN THE TITLE. I thoroughly enjoyed AO '46, even though in this fictional alt-history I would have been on the losing side. I have been fascinated by the Wunderwaffe since I was a child...

Re: Question about Bridge Engineer

There are bridging tanks in the official game, so it must be possible. Bridging recon would sure come in handy!

Kerensky wrote: Wed Jan 17, 2024 10:07 pm Did you know two units adjacent to each other can directly swap places, if they have their movement available? Select a unit, hold shift and click the other unit. The two units will swap hexes with each other.
Why does this work only with the left side shift key?

Re: Heroes. Combining for Maximum Gain.

Random hero generation is just bugged or intentionally not really random. For example I get double attack way more often than double move. In any year, in any campaign. I always get Double Move, and never Double Attack! I suspect that the lack of randomness is personalized! It’s probably embedded i...

Re: Heroes. Combining for Maximum Gain.

When faced with enemy air superiority (as in AO 1946), Double Move on tac bombers is key to their survival. I usually rebase after each attack--if two bases are within range, they can simply swap places. I combine Double Move with some combo of Lightning Attack, No Retaliation, Ignores Entrenchment,...

Just curious: Is John Henry Bond, the 100-strength defender of Newton in the Battle of Wichita, based on a real person? Google turned up nothing.

Re: AO 1946 feedback

That's basically what the nuke V-2s do. It would depend on implementation. If you were to get a set number of nuclear bombs per scenario, get them all at the beginning, and be able to "roll them over" if unused, then yes--this would be like the nuclear V-2s. But I had dimly in mind someth...

Re: AO 1946 feedback

Sure, you could just not use the atomic bomber. But in the spirit of constructive feedback, here’s my suggestion: Make the bomber switchable and provide a certain number of nukes for each scenario. The number could vary and could change in either direction mid-scenario. This would capture a 1946-194...
