Thanks, these are helpful tips

<t> I am greatly enjoying getting to learn this game. One thing I am still trying to figure out is what the best altitudes are to set for the various air missions. I am playing as the allies against the AI.<br/>
<br/>
I have been setting recon in the Tactical Air Force at 12000 feet and giving the ...

Yes, this sounds about right.

I am wondering if part of the solution would be to weaken the combat values of the HQ by eliminating the regular infantry that is part of the unit, leaving it with only the 6/8 combat value staff?

<t> I think this indeed cuts to the heart of my point.<br/>
<br/>
I did the free setup with the thought of improving on the German deployment, specifically with the goal of getting the Crimea done quickly so Manstein could be redeployed up north to take charge of either the 6th Army or a new ...

<t> I am playing with Fog of War on, but because I have a 5 division corps in the three hexes surrounding Kerch, my recon value is over 700 and I can see everything that is going on there.<br/>
<br/>
Tried putting a couple of subs outside the port, they got sunk by the Russian cruisers very ...

<t> I think part of it might be because the HQ do not break and disappear. Each HQ had been attacked multiple times before they ever even got into Kerch proper. Each time, the HQ just retreated away, but stayed resilient as if it were a Russian Guards unit. <br/>
<br/>
My feeling is that these are ...

<t> Really like the game, but I am getting extremely frustrated as the Germans in the Trappenjagd Scenario.<br/>
<br/>
I simply cannot take Kerch. I have completely destroyed the two Soviet Armies in the peninsula (as well destroyed 4 armies in the Izium Salient up North). Hundreds of thousands of ...

I was going through the files in the DAT folder last night looking to see if the data for the aircraft were all in one place so I could make myself a handy reference guide and do some planning. I could not manage to open the .dat files at all and find anything readable ...

<t> Thanks Sarge. I knew I must have been doing something stupid. I was trying to drag the attachment into the red boxes, since they were the ones that changed color, so I figured it belonged there. <br/>
<br/>
I am liking this game and feel it was well worth the money, but the documentation could ...

I feel stupid asking this question, but I havent been able to figure out or find anywhere in the manual how you go about attaching scopes, lasers, and other goodies onto your guns.

Any help on how to do this would be appreciated.

<t> Doc -- question.&nbsp; I know that combining units is the recommended course for playing the CSA. How about the North, with its higher production values?&nbsp; If I have a couple of big battles during a turn, I get many inf rebuilding, driving pop totals to -40 to -70, sometimes as many as 5 ...

Well, while it wont bring back my losses in this game, it is good to hear that this is going to be fixed.&nbsp; Thanks&nbsp;for the info&nbsp;JAMiAM.

<t> I am engaged in a hotly contested PBEM game with a talented opponent right now, and I just suffered a major setback due to something I think is wrong with the game.<br/>
<br/>
My Union forces occupy New Orleans, Ft. Jackson, Ft. St. Philip, Natchez, Lafeyette, St. Landry, St. James, and ...

<t> Spruce, you probably did not have the units attached to a leader with enough MP to enter the New Kent region.&nbsp; Take a look at the back cover of your manual, there is a list of tactical movement costs there.&nbsp; With a base MP of 1 for inf, add the leaders inf skill rating, and then ...

<t> I have a question for anyone who can provide an answer regarding leader ratings, for the mod I am looking at undertaking.<br/>
<br/>
When you look at the leaders61.txt or the XLS spreadsheet file, I can make sense of any number of things. However, I am baffled as to what the value for 'start ...

<t> If you have played this scenario, particularly as the Union, I would like to know what your experience has been with the survival of division level commanders in the game. Specifically, the Union starts that scenario with any number of men who are currently incapable of corps command, because of ...

To a higher degree of long-range thinking on lowering the CP to the leaders, do not forget the total number of troopers they can attach. Having more lower ranked, and possibly poor generals, emphasyzes the importance of a good corps commander ...

<t> Harry, I dont know the answer on the army mod affecting corps commanders.&nbsp; At least initially, I have no plans to alter the army mods or other stats besides entry date and CP rating at this point.&nbsp; Perhaps in the future, but in general, I dont find enough disagreement with the ratings ...

<t> Actually, another idea just occured to me that might be simpler way to deal with the Army Commander issue.&nbsp; In a future patch, could the designers consider adding a new 'army HQ' unit that the AC would be attached directly to?&nbsp; If so, then what coudl be done is to attach the leader to ...

<t> Actually, bringing up the army mods reminded me of one other idea I had regarding the game.&nbsp; I wish that there were some kind of mechanisms whereby corps/divisions become attached to a particular army commander, or vice versa, with the goal of preventing the shuffling of army commanders all ...
