RE: Engineers in Combat

ORIGINAL: Curtis Lemay

There is no disentrenchment ability built into engineer squads.

Huh? Then what are engineers used for in this game? Are they just weaker infantry battalions?

RE: Unit Readiness Recovery?

So what you're saying is that the supply situation in the scenario is hardwired to make the initial North Korean push to Pusan impossible?

RE: Slow Scrolling on Max Zoom Out

Same here. No difference. I wonder if "Opart 4.EXE" is even a 64-bit application.

However, from reading other threads in the forum I did discover there is a jump map that is activated on pressing the "J" key.

<t> The unit I'm looking at has it's unit supply level at 5%, yet the formation report indicates the formation supply is at 75%.<br/>

The problem I'm finding with this scenario is that inexplicably, my combat power approaches nil after some threshold is reached. For example, I was blitzing ...

That, my friend, is what we call a pocket. Zones of control have cut off all supplies. Any unit killed in there will not put any equipment into the replacement bin. They will all be totally destroyed. Best to find a way to get them linked up to ...

That is correct, but you haven't indicated the supply level for the hexes your units are occupying. Did you go to the map panel and cycle through the "supply view" options? The "trace" view shows supply level for each hex and if your getting 10 ...

RE: Unit Readiness Recovery?

I did what you suggested (i.e. turn off the AI) and I noticed that supply tends to trickle in around 10% per turn. So you're saying I pushed my units too hard and too fast?

RE: Unit Readiness Recovery?

<t> The unit's readiness in my saved game is actually substantially higher than the supply level. I'm currently on Turn 34 of the Tutorial (i.e. Korean War 50-51) scenario. My Chinese units have 33% readiness but only 1% supply. I don't understand why this is, since I'm sitting on a hex with a ...

Slow Scrolling on Max Zoom Out

<t> After loading the FITE 2 scenario, I noticed that the only way for it to be playable, or even to orient yourself as to where you are on the Eastern Front, is to look at the map at maximum zoom out. However, scrolling is extremely slow and juttering (i.e. not smooth). I realise you can scroll the ...

My units are in supply and their supply lines aren't in enemy zones of control, but they don't recover readiness.

RE: Pbem ++ quits game

I think it does this intentionally.

The multiplayer lobby has no refresh button and doesn't refresh until you exit the program entirely. Developers: Please implement a refresh button.
