For the most part, the penalties are inconsequential.

Does anyone know any player that would forgo adding units to a battle to achieve an adequate odds ratio simply because the units added will get a 16% reduction in their CV?

While it may be important to be aware that the amount of CV you think ...

Distance being flown is a factor I can't see most Japanese players reigning themselves in on.

It's the range advantage that Japanese players exploit most to their benefit.

Japanese players dream of setting up an 8 hex carrier strike.

What self respecting Japanese player isn't going to hinder ...

So are you saying it's up to the player to write the computer code that will make the units deploy, move and attack?

My problem was that there was no way to figure out what mouse clicks, or keystrokes or combination thereof would cause a unit in a deployment pool to deploy to the map, or a unit on ...

I gave Vassal try well over a decade ago and had such a horrible experience I just gave up and never went back.

I downloaded Avalon Hill's Air Assault on Crete with the Malta bonus game. The Malta mini game was one of my all time favorites.

The Vassal version of the game came with absolutely no ...

Automatically/genrally, nothing.

Those elements are somewhat limited by historical figures (which were reported/reports survived time), so if Germans only ever used 200 T-34 tanks actively in combat, there will only be a max of 200 if those be converted from captured tanks.


Please tell me this ...

I'm with Zovs on this one.

The more micromanagement the better.

The OP would run away screaming if he ever encountered a game of Fire in the East/Scorched Earth.

Take a look at the Focus Pacific scenario for additional smaller ARDs.

The work has already been done on them.

I tried adding some of them to the Long Road to Tokyo scenario, but couldn't get it to load after all of my adds.
LRT is already massive and likely pushing the limits of the database. I ...

Single player is the only answer for me.

I have no interest in being beholden to someone to provide them with a daily turn.
I have no interest in having someone else's happiness being dependent on whether, or not, I feel like playing a turn that day.

I also prefer marathon gaming sessions in order ...

As mentioned previously, since this was my first try at a campaign game, I started with the settings on Easy and no FOW so I could see what was happening. I especially wanted to be able to see what happens during the AI turn.

After the first campaigning season, I reset from Easy to level the ...

Would be interesting to see the percentage of games that reach the result that Hans has. If it's 10% then some time should be devoted to modifying the events so they reflect the map situation.

If it's 0.0000000001 % then the devs time is better used elsewhere, quashing bugs and (hopefully) adding ...

The game is becoming tedious and I may not play it out to the end.

My turns consist of 5 minutes of input time from me moving the dozen units left on the map and transferring units between TBs. and twenty minutes of wandering around the house drinking coffee while the AI executes the opponent turn ...

While I, and probably all other game devs, appreciate some extreme test according to the screenshots you show and the info you share this testgame is way beyond what a normal player could achieve.
So all this rambling about "massive errors" is just useless and a waste of time.
If you wanna give ...

It appears much of what is happening is a result of insufficient playtesting to see the potential consequences of a "no early end" scenario.

If the Soviets defeat the Germans the war is over, no matter if it happens early.

If the Germans defeat the Soviets early, the war isn't over, and neither is ...

If you're having trouble seeing the point of this thread then I couldn't be more sorry for you.

Your opinion is noted and of little use here.

Your post is borderline trolling.

Happy path for whom? Soviet players? My outcome is the happiest path possible for a German side player.

I'm not under the garrison requirements in any TB.

I don't have the game open now but IIRC I have about 115% in Norway, 120% in Finland, 220% in Soviet Garrison, 125% in Balkans, 320% in Italy and 235% in Western Europe.

I have a the last Panzer army still in reserve and rebuilding before sending ...

I think the difference between you getting a warning and Zovs not getting a warning is that You went after Gary, while for Zovs his slandering of you is only about you so no one really cares if you get slandered, defamed or lied about you are just another nobody poster.



And this is exactly ...

Are you playing the AI? If so what is the difficulty level set at? Are you using FOW? Reduced Retreat Attrition? What do you have the Combat Delay Effects set to? Lastly, what Balance settings are you using?



Some of those questions have been answered previously.
However, the lot of them have ...

On turn 175, October 22nd, there is still no sign of any Allied presence in France.
All the Allies have managed to conquer are the channel islands.

Also on turn 175, the Soviets Enter Norway Event occurred.
There is no sign of Soviet presence in Norway.

Events keep occurring that are completely ...

On turn 174, October 15th, the Cobra Event occurred.

October '44 and no Allied presence in France.

The Soviet Union no longer exists outside the imaginary worlds of the Theater Boxes.

Only the 18th Army and an independent infantry corps and an independent panzer corps remain in the former Soviet Union.

All but one panzer army, currently refitting ...
