Excellent!

Since the game is going to be battalions size, how big are going to be the scenarios? Army Group level battles in battalion scale are probably too big for me, but will there be some smaller operations - Army or corps scale?

Will the game be also release on Steam? I cannot wishlist it there so far.

Great info, thanks!

Hello, I'm new to the game. Few years after purchasing the game, I've finally decided to install and learn how to play it. From what I see, unfortunately there's no in-game tutorial scenario, which is my favorite way to learn ( also the quickest for me ). Do I have to go through all the manual? I'm ...

Thanks for the comments! I see that the lack of punching power of the brigades, could be the reason of anemic attacks early on during the game. Their attack and defense values are equal, while in case of the divisions and corps, the attack value is higher than the defense value.

My impression after few first turns of the 1861 campaign is that on the tactical level, the Civil War combat is reminiscent of WW1 without artillery. The attacks are costly and quite inefficient. In other SC titles, the SOP was to soften the defenders with air and arty and then to attack with some ...

OK, thanks.

Is it possible to purchase the physical manual only, without the game? I'm planning to buy the game at later stage, but I want to buy the manual now, before it becomes sold out.

<t> Since I like maneuver campaigns my choice would be:<br/>
<br/>
-Post Stalingrad Operation Star<br/>
<br/>
-Third Battle for Kharkov<br/>
<br/>
-Post Kursk Ukraine 43<br/>
<br/>
-Ukraine 44<br/>
<br/>
-Tunisia<br/>
<br/>
-Patton in Loraine<br/>
<br/>
-WW1 Eastern Front, mostly 1914 ...

Is there ANY SHOT you can do a similar counter mod for WAW and WIE? I mean I love your existing one but the soldiers instead of nato supymbols would be awesome there too

I second that. I ...

<t> You guys clearly are not the customers of Battlefront. The latest patch for Combat Mission, fixing the game breaking bug, was released after two years. I understand that given the average age of a wargamer, some of you may be impatient. But rest assured, that most of you will live to see the ...

To be honest I've never seen the German NM to drop so quickly. Normally the NM drop due to the blockade, is offset by the territorial conquest of German armies. For example in my games, by the end of 1915, the German NM usually oscillates around 90%.

<t> I'd suggest you to try giving the AI an experience bonus. The standard setting is really an "easy one". If you give the AI experience bonus, it will start playing more aggressively like human and you will hardly have spare MPP's to invest and rebuild. I think it's a question of finding an ...

<t> I would say that the explanation provided by Iron X could be the right one. Make sure, that the folder that you drop into the "mods", is the Blue_Max folder that contains the mod files ( bitmaps etc ). When I unzipped the the downloaded mod, I had a folder called Blue_Max, with another folder ...

What were Russians doing during that time? Getting drunk with vodka instead of helping their Western allies?

They are useful for recon for sure.

This is a pretty good achievement if you ask me. I usually stop at Lille and then move the forces to the East.

<t> One more point - what is called "detachment" in the game, in real life would be probably an equivalent of a division ( given the combat values of corps and detachments in the game ). So landing a division on a front with low troop density ( like the Ottoman Front for example ), would have pretty ...

<t> Having to maintain the garrisons is not cost effective, but that's the benefit of the side who has maritime superiority. How many divisions at the end of WW2 Germans kept in Norway, Denmark or in the Balkans? All because they were afraid of potential invasions there, in a situation when there ...
