<r> I just assume it's me. After all, most posters claim they just roll through the game and then get bored, or joke about how easy it is compared to similar games. Of course, it might have been the fact that once I bought and loaded version 1.22 suddenly the ONLY campaign I can play is the Allied ...

<t> I'm new at this. Playing the Sandstorm scenario and can't win it because I lose all my Infantry. I supress the ? offload the Infantry 2/3 squares out. Can't see a thing. Move the infantry one hex and...AMBUSH. Scratch one infantry. There is a time limit which prevents me from running all over ...

<t> I'm with you pzgndr. I really don't have TIME to play all the greats I played in the 60's-90's. I looked at the PC Afrika Korps but haven't finished the main campaign yet. Sometimes lots of units just isn't the answer. I'm pretty sure this is why the squad level stuff is getting so popular and ...

<t> Just received the game and played the Tutorial. Now on the intro scenario: I can take Sev on turn 1 if I want due to air power. (game gives 4 turns) but I can figure out NO way to clear the pennisula by turn 2. I can do it in 4 but not two. What am I doing wrong? Is there an "specialist" steps I ...

<t> Take Gen. Petrov for an example. It is 17 hexes to the first Soviet VP Hex, 1 more to the next and 4 more to the next. Therefore I have to move a unit it's full 7 AP's 2 times and another 2/3/6 the 3rd time to get to the VP hexes with ZERO Soviets on the board. Either I am missing something or ...

Fantastic AAR...MORE Please!!! [&o]

I have never won this as the german although I slaughter the Soviet forces. I just can't get anywhere near the MMG fast enough to overcome the VP totals he builds up. Has Anyone beaten the AI here?

<t> I seriously suggest TonyUk and RPKUPK start their own game company called Wild Fantasy Adventures. Seriously. You can declare victory by playing any scenario and winning as the Germans. Realisticly the question would otherwise be...what now?<br/>
Let's say the Germans "win" in Russia. Now ...

No overrun. That Pz I isn't going to go to the US

Just turn off the Fog of War to get the same effect.

The Player already gets more information than the ground units usually had. HQ might know approximately what is defending a sector but the grunts didn't know if there was an AT gun or a Tiger behind the next hill.

You are quite correct. But how to show it in the game? They use the "technical" stats. Factoring in Command and Control would put limitations that the players would not accept.

Never played People's General. Have played all the rest. PG III - SE and Fantasy General were/are my favorites. Why buy this one? Because its a game COMPANY which means it get's a wider player base and has easier mechanics (install, updates, etc) than PG Forever. Hope they keep it up.

They are massively different. I see no rhyme or reason for the Ai's choice. It doesn't seem to depend on anything.

Does this mean it gets a Hero at the same time it gets the Award? Or does it mean a Unit with one or more awards MAY get a Hero at the end any turn going forward...limited to Heros = Awards of course.

Welcome the the "real" world of PC [:D]

<t> Well, you've terrified ME!!!! I really enjoy the RPG aspects of the game. I'm perfectly willing to lose 9 out of 10 core forces in a major defeat but there should be a FEW well loved units we could escape with. To name a unit, watch it's Hero and Awards develop and figure out the best ways to ...

<t> Any reward system can be gamed. Look at the way people will replay an attack sequence multiple times to get a desired result. Any fixed system of awards will be gamed. Unless there is some randomization involved it becomes EASY to game a reward system. Just watch me pick one Bf109, One tank, etc ...

<t> PG II seemed to easy and to cartoony for me. I LOVED PG III and still play it. JP's Panzers was a GREAT online resource and had many terrific PG III campaigns. Having the players develop and use settings like the "weak hand" army was brillant. This game is an EXCELLENT remake of PG one for the ...

In other words we want a human opponent. [:@] Design your secenarios then play humans PBM.

<t> I'm still waiting for one. I don't design my own scenarios but I do play with force makeups a lot. I've started about 25 campaigns but never advanced beyond France so far...yeah, I know I'm crazy. The really interesting thing for me is the extreme rareity of awards and Heros. Normally, I don't ...

<r> Of course, you as a player NEVER assume that. Your forces inch forward one hex at a time in bad weather....Riiiiiggggghhhhhttttt. I think the AI does an excellent job, with the small exception of occassionaly leaving a strong defensive position to make an attack. On the other hand, that is often ...
