I've been playing the CS games since East Front first came out. That's getting on for 30 years, isn't it?

It's so, so amazing that you're still providing support and huge improvements for new versions of these games!

that might not be as much fun

100% with you on that...

But, just wondering, why historically was no consideration apparently made of advancing on a broader front rather than on that single fateful highway? Surely there must have been other routes, even if on minor roads and all leading to a ...

Interesting!

A doubt, though: were there actually bridges over the Rhine at the time that would have allowed XXX Corps to approach Arnhem from the East?

Wikipedia reckons the Rhine bridge of Rees was completed in 1967, the one at Emmerich two years earlier.

Or, alternatively, to swing East into ...

Or using some units to fire and disrupt (suppress) before using others to assault...

Super useful, thanks Jason ! I've been put off playing the really big ones precisely because of a lack of that.

Regrettably haven't been able to play for a while, but once again what a fabulous game this is!

Haven't been able to play a lot recently due to various commitments, but yes I agree entirely!

I've been playing the other, original CS games since they first came out and am amazed at the improvements made to such an old engine and how playing CSV really feels like French Indo-China/Vietnam.

Or is it that the airstrike is just not coming in immediately?

What I certainly have seen happen (often!) in CS games is empty trucks, in line of sight, untargeted, unmolested for several turns or more, suddenly deciding it's time to scram the turn I decide maybe to use some spare artillery to grab ...

Especially for people new to CS games, how to attack enemy units that are entrenched, in bunkers etc, which look "impossible" to capture. There was an interesting discussion of that here on this forum:

Tips on how to ensure you ...

I get this... But it's my excuse to always finish the turn ! OK, also sometimes to finish the entire scenario!

Hm, difficult one (though we could also ask whether or not it mattered how many battles they "won", if in the end they lost the war?).<br/>

<t> Fun, guaranteed!<br/>
<br/>
Scope, you can start small and get bigger. You can order the scenarios by complexity and I'd highly recommend doing that and working through the easiest ones first, which is exactly what I did 20 years ago with East Front.<br/>
<br/>
To get you into the game, you ...

<t> Yes, @Devoncop, that might also have been a factor. I finished up besieging three or four villages and where I did bring up a leader succeeded; where I didn't failed.<br/>
<br/>
On a huge map, it's all too easy to end up with your companies split up, instead of keeping them nice and compact ...

<r> Jeje, it certainly provided for higher casualties for me, the attacker <E>;-)</E> !<br/>
<br/>
Tried everything years of experience with East and West Front gives me and also the direction of the assaults, as @devoncop suggests, but couldn't get the results.<br/>

Two things I saw: (1 ...

<t> Interesting! <br/>
<br/>
But another doubt: I don't see that happening always when (I think!) I'm seeing attack values of 60+ -- which in previous CS games you very, very rarely see. <br/>
<br/>
Does CSVN tweak things further against the attacker? (Or is that that I just need to be more ...

<r> I've always been slightly doubtful as to whether or not all the CS series games don't skew the results too far against the attacker.<br/>

Playing the amazing Street Without Joy scenario in CSVN, I had the VC surrounded in a bunker for something like 15 turns, but never managed to ...

<t> As a complete beginner at TOAW myself, I actually find that list super useful to get me into the game.<br/>

It might not be perfect but tells me, in a single place, exactly what I need to know at a glance: which scenarios are going to be easiest for me to play? At this stage, I don't ...

<r> Interesting! What would be really great (no rush <E>;-)</E>!) would be to have a couple of really, really simple step-by-step video tutorials for those of us who are pretty much complete beginners at this...<br/>

As with all the Campaign Series games, amazing that the game even comes ...

Just a very minor error in the manual: the description of the LCM monitor is wrong, I think, suggesting it can travel on roads.

<r> That would be awesome, but I'm guessing an awful lot of work.<br/>
<br/>
I think it would be particularly useful in big scenarios (I'm halfway through the "Street Without Joy" scenario, which is massive). Alternatively, maybe future scenario designers could include a (printable?) map showing ...
