Rename the file extension to dc4 and take a look.

I get an error message " Invalid File Extension" when I try to upload the save file. Is there something I need to do to upload a save file?

I played Plan Martin to the end as the Allies. It appears that the allies are not getting enough fuel. Despite using points to purchase additional fuel and depleting supply dumps, by the end of the game almost all allied units were immobilized due to insufficient fuel.

Combat mechanics consist of calculating an attack value and a defense value. The attack value starts with a base attack value which is modified by a series of factors, such as readiness, leadership, etc. The defense starts with a base defense value which is modified by a series of factors, such as ...

I will try to answer some of the questions, but the screen prints are very difficult to see clearly so in some cases I'm not sure I understand the question.

1. The highlighted units appear to be two battalions within the same regiment (the NATO unit graphics make that clearer). Card bonuses apply ...

Supply Route 5.jpg

There is an occasional problem with the way the game selects a supply route. In this example I noticed that there was a great discrepancy in the amount of supplies received by units in adjacent hexes. The units in the hex indicated by the 56th artillery battalion received far ...

Shouldn't the Weight & Carry Stats screen reflect that? I was left scratching my head for quite a while wondering what was going on.

So the fix for this is to find a unit with an extra heavy tractor and transfer it to this unit?

The Unit Weight & Carry Stats on the screen print shows the unit is fully motorized, but the movement highlight on the map shows the unit can only move one hex. The lower left part of the display shows it 97 APs available.

As mentioned, at the total attack level the various modifiers are basically meaningless except as an indicator of how the attack is likely to go. To understand the actual effect of the modifiers on combat you have to look at the combat details. This is time consuming because the combat is resolved ...

The Germans in Plan Martin are getting more fuel each turn than they use.

Here is what I did. I set four units to priority. Then each turn I checked these units to see if they received any replacements. I did this for ten turns and none of them received any replacements. The only unit that got replacements that I could see was the army group HQ.

What did you do?

The current replacement system works well enough in the smaller scenarios.

It does not work well in Wacht because of the very large number of units. It's almost impossible to remember which units had replacement priority which needs to be turned off so replacements are available for other units ...

Combat in DC4 is not a case of the two sides shooting at each other at long range. Low level units from each side maneuver into each other's hexes as attacks and counterattacks take place during the combat rounds. That's why after combat end unit(s) may advance into the attacked hex at no cost in ...

Orange trucks indicate hexes where enemy units may be present or may have been present. They block supply routes until they are cleared.

Based on my results I either don't understand how they are supposed to work or there may be problems in the logic. Here is what I found:

1. Friendly unit moves ...

A rear area team, which is smaller than a normal unit made an attack against a unit remnant. In the combat detail it shows that despite its small size and the fact it was attacking alone, it sustained a 42% stacking penalty. See detail screen print.

Further update: The Stadtkyll base has the same problem as Bitburg, where you can't do anything with it after you capture it.

Situation update:

After sitting for several turns doing nothing Gemund suddenly started depleting like other supply bases.

Bitburg still doesn't allow any action. Sounds like a bug, where different strategic bases do not act alike.

Playing as the allies in Wacht I managed to capture the strategic supply base at Gemund. I thought I would set it to Deplete so there would be ample fuel readily available. I did that but nothing happens, supply and fuel both sit there at 50,000.

Later in the game I captured the strategic supply ...

In the Wacht strategic game there are many Allied units which temporarily start with zero APs. My understanding is that they can become activated when they are attacked or when a German unit moves adjacent. However, I'm finding quite a few units which have been attacked and severely damaged but ...

This is the section which needs the most help.

There are three possible results when a hit is made: PIN, RTRT, KILL. The result is purely random. I don't know if the percentages are the same in DC4, but what I remember from ATG they are: 15% KILL, 25% RTRT, 60% PIN.

They also lead to some ...
