Great map. Is that from a book, or can it be found online? I would love a link if it's online.

I must be a bit stupid, sorry, but I can't get SOP to do what I want it to do, in various ways, and to take the most obvious example, I wonder if anyone can explain to me the procedure I should follow to achieve the following - I want to open a scenario, place all my units where I want them and ...

Good idea this poll--as I am concerned/(and thus) confused about the (possible lack of) effects.

I posed a question to the Capt Darwin and dev team, after seeing a review that dissed the (lack of apparent) artillery effects (122 mm, "FOW off"), saying that repeated bombardment of a town had ...

1. What's your definition of "suppression"?

British operational research scientists in WW2 defined artillery effects on the battlefield stating them “in order of their ease of achievement”, although they are all happening in some degree ...

Just wondering if this was addressed in the beta that came out today.

Thank you.

Attached is an article about the mission of the 2nd Bn, 28th Field Artillery, a VII Corps artillery unit. Starts at page 33. I always thought it would make an interesting scenario. Maybe someday.

The other two articles now seem to be behind a membership login. Should have snagged them when I had ...

Basically every US scenario I've played has had BN recon platoons, although their direct combat value is nearly zero (in my experience). They're a much different animal from the cav scouts in brads who might be able to form an effective screen or plug a gap if needed.


It's entirely probable ...

I don't know how plausible it would have been at the time for a unit commander to have that sort of intel in every case. But you have people you can talk to about that.


At that time, not plausible at all. In that era, terrain analysis was about trafficability which got translated into ...

I doubt that never fire was added for grins. But it's purpose is not apparent to me.

From a game mechanic standpoint, when a unit gets shot at, the firing unit has spotted it. Many times, just that unit spotted it. You can't tell who can spot who during turn resolution. So, if your ...

Guys, check FM FCCW 01 section 31 on Campaign Game Play Overview. Before loading the following scenario in a campaign, the Force Recovery dialog should pop up, telling you what assets were replaced and what the state of your force is going into the next battle.


Is there an option there to ...

Hi Guys,

i play the big red one campaign and i cant find a way to recover lost units during the missions.
In FCRS it was possible to recover fallen out runners, if u invest time, or destroyed runners,
if u invest VP´s.
Am i miss something or is this feature gone? :?:

Greetings


I had ...

How can you tell if counterbattery is being effective or accomplishing anything at all?


You might have to look at some of those reports that I never look at. That will at least tell you whether or not they are shooting. :)

But you won't get anything accurate if his arty isn't under ...

I felt it needed a response.


Thanks for that. Any thoughts/comments on the fact that it's neigh on impossible to coordinate units to attack/move simultaneously due to estimated timings not being accurate (except if issued as part of the initial orders)?


The devs love looking in to the ...

Thanks for the answers. All the SOP comments got me to wondering.

The example that usually occurs to me is to set some tanks to over watch maneuvering units. Does this change anything?

Some forces have tanks in recon units. Does changing their roles have any impact?

For me the single best example of "why SOP?" is that of scouts that should not reveal their position by fire or movement.

At present there are two ways to control fire in that situation. One is never fire, and the other is don't fire until fired upon. I doubt that never fire was added for grins ...

I haven't seen much detailed reporting on Ukraine. But I haven't been looking. I did find these easily enough:

I understand, would you mind elaborating? Do you think relocating under fire is an efficient move compared to staying in place? Or should it not be an efficient move? Are you saying artillery in the 80's is pinpoint accurate with no spotting rounds need like in game?


I start from a different ...

I have a save from the new Canadian campaign where TOW unit is hit by artillery immediately after turn start. I think it's time to get excel out and test different SOP'S.

You don't really need tests to understand that the relocation mechanic is broken. If a unit is on "hold" and set to ...
