<t> There is case during the fight at Salerno where an American artillery battalion stopped one of the major German counter attacks on the beachhead cold. Howitzers direct firing into German panzer and infantry formations, with cooks and staff manning the foxholes in front of the position. You have ...

I tried some of what you suggested and didn't really see an "improvement". I focused on the 502PIR, removed the engineer from the regiment and gave changed the formation to line. If you switch the force view to Op Plan, you'll see that once the regiment is formed up for the ...

<t> Hi,<br/>
<br/>
I'm having an issue with Regiments/Brigades planning and executing complex coordinated attacks. The way it used to be was that you would issue an attack order to a higher HQ with multiple BN HQs under it, and it would move to the FUP, re-organize, give attack orders to each BN ...

Could well be it´s hard coded then, even when swapping layer data and GFX, the game draws data in fixed order. Any of the modders know? [&:]

I *believe* you could do this, but the effort required would be so much ...

Second, make it mod-friendly, so dedicated players can design additional East Front Scenarios, even outside the given time frame and area. In an ideal manner, the next Panther title would become a scalable Barbarossa Engine, kinda like TOAW ...

<r> Yes. If I can recall correctly the common percentage is around 80% of casualties in the European theater were from artillery of high explosives. The US Army put together a study of casualties during the war, and it includes a survey of 1,000 American Casualties killed in Italy. 86% of those were ...

So excited for this! Gonna rewatch A Bridge Too Far in preparation.&nbsp;

Unfortunately I'm not very close to getting units on the map and scenario hammered out... new estabs takes a long time ...

This is great! Are there any new features confirmed that you can tell us about?

<t> I do a mixture of both. For vehicles and weapons, I have a lot of the major data (penetration, speed, etc) but am often missing hard data on other stuff (accuracy at range, fuel consumption). I'll often look at other weapons in the estab and use that data. Take the 25mm ATG for example. I have ...

I decided to go ahead and start my estab from scratch, using the info I found here: <URL url="http://www ...

<t> Thanks for the links everyone, I appreciate it! The book I mentioned has a map anda limited ORBATof French deployments in the Ardennes during the battle, but its very high level and these links are helping me get down into the weeds of what the force structure should look like. And I might have ...

<r> Thanks for the link Chief, I'll take a look!<br/>
<br/>
Anyways, progress went A LOT faster then I expected in placing all the towns, and I managed to finish the map today. I just got done generating the map cache (took almost 3 hours for such a large map!). Here is the link for the download ...

<t> Thanks for the comments everyone!<br/>
<br/>
Yes, right from the start I was hoping to do some alternate history scenarios with this map. The book I mentioned also describes some French counter attacks shortly after the crossing of the Sedan, that should actually be fairly interesting as ...

<t> You can change the color of the text by editing the graphics files yourself. Go to the Command Ops folder -> Graphics -> Maps -> Default and chose normal or one of the others and open up the MapPat file in paint. 7 rows up from the bottom will be a row with just black. Each tile in the row ...

<r> Hi all.<br/>
<br/>
I was reading Karl-Heinz Frieser's <I><s>[i]</s>Blitzkrieg Legend<e>[/i]</e></I>, about the Fall of France, and his section on the initial German offensive through the Ardennes region inspired me. I had never played an operational scale game based on the Battle of France ...
