Fulcrum, have you tried editing the scenario and changing the attrition divider?

Do you get heavy losses during the combat? if not maybe the attriotion divider is set too high, and perhaps this is the intention of the developer, to allow only one or two rounds per turn.

great news. Thanks for all the work.

<t> In classic wargames you could order an attack and wait for its result before you move the rest of your units, without any time penalty. This is unrealistic.<br/>
<br/>
TOAW tries to solve this by the round system. If you order combats, then you must wait till they are resolved to place new ...

As far as I know engineers will only be helpful to speed up entrenchment

As an engineer I would tend to disagree. I am quite helpfull at helping my kids drive their mother crazy.

<t> I probably did not explain myself correctly.<br/>
<br/>
The two is not the shots each tank can shoot, but the maximum of shots each tank will take.<br/>
<br/>
Side A fires on side B. Depeding on the anti armor total force of side A, and some other factors each tank from side B will have X ...

<t> 3 is the maximum shots it can fire, and 2 is teh maximum shots it will received if shot at.<br/>
<br/>
For examply with 5 Matildas you can make a maximum of 15 shots (3x5)<br/>
<br/>
If the 5 Matildas were facing 100 tanks, the program will start to calculate the posibility of shooting at ...

<r> Not really understanding how the calculations work I am just going to go out on limb, trying to understand how it works from my testing.<br/>
<br/>
Initially the game calculates:<br/>
Defender AT value<br/>
Attacker AT value<br/>
...<br/>
Defender Survavility<br/>
Attacker Survavility<br ...

Thanks Ralph.

It is quite a luxury to actually be able to talk to the programer and get things clarified about how the game engine works.

and here the Toawlog

Here is the scenario. This is with version 3.2.29

<t> I ran some tests with a simple scenario where 5 MatildasII attacked 10 Panzer IV.<br/>
<br/>
When I changed from having both units in the open without entrenchment, to having the defending unit Fortified, the results were logical. All the values of the defending units increased substantially ...

<r> Looking at the TOAWlog file, and gathering from what Ralph says above:<br/>
<br/>
After it states thet anti-armor begings, it shows:<br/>
<br/>
<B><s>[b]</s>Defending unit under fire: 38 Tk Brig (attrit: 546)<br/>
<br/>
Smite: SOVIET 1/6th Army, 38 Tk Brig, (anti-armor), attrition%= 7.<e ...

<t> 2 rifles will add to your pool of replacements every turn.<br/>
<br/>
What goes into you replacement pool wiil be:<br/>
- those two rifles<br/>
- part of the rifles lost during combat<br/>
<br/>
What goes out of your replacement pool will be:<br/>
- replacement to units that lost rifles ...

<r> <B><s>[b]</s>Supply:<e>[/b]</e></B><br/>
<br/>
I must agree that there are some things in the supply system that I do not like. The fact that if you move only one unit out of a hundred, versus moving the 100 units, that one unit gets the same supply in both situations. It does not allow you to ...

One question, during combat you loose some units, but not all are permanently lost, a part of them go back to the replacement pool.

The question is, does the losses on the table count only the permanent losses, or also the ones that go back to the replacement pool?

Why not put less airbases in the back?

<br/>
There is now code which attenuates attacks with units that aren't cooperating.<br/>
Attacking at less than 1:1 odds don't generate the same supply loss for the defender, and less than 1:10 are even worse, so ant attacks aren't likely to ...

<t> Ralph and the team,<br/>
<br/>
Plenty has been talked about the new interface, but I am more interested in the fuctioning of the game. If you find the time, could you let me know:<br/>

Will the new patch address the cooperation bug reported by Damezzi?<br/>

Will it address the ...

I thought I might mention some potential problem I had so you guys won't have it too. <br/>
<br/>
I moved my Slavic units by boat from their home port to a spot adjacent to the port they were going to attack and without thinking ...

I personally would want to know the details of how the engine works, not only on combat but also on supply distribution (where does Formation efficiency comes to place, or the number of supply units still at had in an HQ unit).
