I had the same problem with 3 French corps sitting in Brussels for over a year. No HQ so they couldn't do much, but they didn't lose readiness and I couldn't defest them without stripping the whole western front. This aspect of the game doesn't work somehow.

I guess that just means an HQ which has staff assigned to it, for providing a combat bonus to other units, in contrast to rear echelon HQs which are used purely for supply distribution.

<t> I'm playing a large random game with lots of production and I'm thinking about how the task of shuffling subformations from one unit to another could be made easier. Often you build planes or ships that are being put in land formations in the HQ or the port city. Now you have to create a new ...

AI+/++ means +100/200% producion for the AI player. IMO it's not a lot of fun against the AI, but it's a great PBEM scenario. Other scenarios are much better suited to solo play. Oh, depending how much horsepower your PC has, the AI moves can take literally hours after a few turns.

One minor correction - combat might last for 11 or 12 rounds because some SFTypes can move <I><s>[i]</s>very<e>[/i]</e></I> fast. In particular, Fighters, Light Tanks and Scouts can fight for less than 10 AP per round.

I'm not going to put it all down, just trying to get the ball rolling. It's incomplete and some of it is probably plain wrong. Add what you think is necessary to understand the system, or correct me where I'm wrong.<br/>

<t> I think flak unit are about right in AT. Cost and other attributes may be debatable (depending on the scenario, as usual), but overall, it "feels right" for me. AA does and can not destroy the enemy air force. It cannot win you air superiority, like fighters can. In my experience, AAA rarely ...

I'm playing West in a more or less recent version (v32?) and the Germans didn't use the Blitz card, but then declared Vichy. I didn't receive the Allied Minors in my next turn.

Do villages/towns automatically have airfields or is it only city and above that have airfields.

Usually yes, but like almost everything in AT, scenarios can change city attributes. If in doubt, see the Location tab in ...

Oops, sorry. You did. I was just trying to kickstart a discussion about the naval model.

<r> I've suggested a new interception feature for the next game, and some people (including Vic) agreed that it would be a good thing to have. Now I'm wondering how it could actually work.<br/>

Naval interception means that a fleet or bomber force could be set to automatically intercept and ...

<t> I think what he means is a second HQ for storing reserves only. It has to be an HQ counter or it couldn't have transport capacity and quickly send troops to the frontline. But no other counters&nbsp; would be subordinate to it. The question is, wouldn't strategic transfer (something I've never ...

<t> Simulating carriers is a problem, but it's difficult to model them in a strategic game like AT. I don't want to issue orders to half a dozen scout planes each turn, not in a grand strategic game. But the beauty of the engine is that you can just increase the recon value of carriers in a scenario ...

I still think the naval modelling is a bit broken here. Fleets can operate for a year without resupplying, and with no air/naval interception possible, airbases are pretty useless unless someone parks his fleet directly adjacent to your island.

I am not a WWII unit detail guru, so my question is how do you determine the best unit makeup and do you spend most of your time figuring out maximum unit configuration rather than playing the game. I would assume the makeup of each unit is critical ...

I am stacking multiple units on the roads in the though that perhaps multiple units fight better then 1 large unit. <br/>

Is that the case or am i just wasting PP?<br/>
