Good point.
I´m just 10 years late!
I played the game years ago but never had the time to get as involved as I have now. And I´m having a blast, by the way.

I was thinking of sending Trey a message but I´m not sure I want to bother him with that.

I´m trying to play the Battleground Italy scenario as close as possible to the historical deployment and OOB.
The BR V Corps was part of the British 8th Army, and although they did not take part in Operation Husky, they did join it for the fight on mainland Italy later on.

In the game, though ...

Makes sense.
Thanks for the reply.

Historically during longer operations divisions were moved from one army to another, at certain points, depending on necessity.
For instance, in Battleground Italy the 46th BR Inf Div was part of the 8th Army for Operation Husky but later transferred to the 5th Army for the Salerno landings, if I´m ...

Yes, you are right and pretty close to what the manual says.

From the manual:
...staging base. This is an air base unit that all air group units participating
in the air mission will rendezvous above before heading to the target hex of the air mission. The miles flown by an air group unit

I assigned an AD for a Recon mission to the Tactical Air Force.
For some reason, they are flying the mission from Gerbini Air Base, although the base has no airplanes!
And after the air phase, I can ...

Thanks. Yes, I´m using the Tactical Ops Diary a lot now to keep track of things. Awesome feature!

By the way, I hadn´t played FC in many years and now I´m back at it to warm up before I purchase the just-released new version of the game. It´s an incredible war game.

I was playing with a few scenarios trying to figure out the best way to deal with soviet helicopters.To my surprise, even mortars engage helicopters. The hit chance is given as 4%. Really!?
I downed 3 Hinds in this specific scenario, one with the 7.62 on the Warrior at reasonably close range ...

Awesome.
Thanks.

Hi,

Maybe someone knows the answer to this or if it´s even possible. Any help is appreciated.

I´m looking at the TOC/Reported Kills and Claims. I see one of my units with incredible stats. However, it has been destroyed.
I know roughly where it was located but I wanted to know exactly in which ...
