I had always assumed light inf would be better at moving through rough/forest terrain than if they were lugging big MGs, but admittedly have never really studied the issue.

<r> Hi Demi,<br/>
<br/>
Seems I mis-spoke in last post. I found a save where my Infantry II only had 28 hard defence. I still maintain they would hold against Light Tanks enough for you to survive. I did not know about the AI not attacking until tech level 4, but they seemed to attack weaker units ...

I think practical examples are great for everyone to learn from. I learned a lot from this thread as well. [8D]<br/>

Demi's correct - the newly-incorporated city needs to move food from zone stockpile to SHQ.<br/>

Your fixes look OK for the short term.<br/>

I thought your capital was SW, but that's just a truck stop. Does your capital just have a Truck Station I? <br ...

<t> I used to start with Mil Sci council first, but you die if you get attacked by Slavers or Surviving AI's on round 1 or 2. Not enough time to upgrade your units and get them on the field.<br/>

Infantry II with Carbines can be deployed on Round 3 and moved on Round 4, which have comparable ...

Thanks for the comments.<br/>

Regular Light Tanks, on turn 5? Would like to see an image of that. By Round 5 you would have Infantry II, with at least 35 hard defence and could have raised 2 half strength battalions. This plus your Militia is around 15 units ...

Only one AI major, yes. But they are the nemesis on this map. If I had got a Romulus in this save, I would have deleted it - point is to show what can be done with an 'average' start. I spent 3 hours trying to generate a start with hostile neighbors, bad unit models and ...

<r> Hi everyone,<br/>

I wanted to post another game on extreme, this time with a much tougher start.<br/>

<r> Hi Vic,<br/>
<br/>
I tested again with the new patch on the save game I sent you, and I'm happy to report the bug appears to be fixed - the formation raised only with the troops from the SHQ, and did not create the bonus troops from thin air.<br/>

<t> Hi CB,<br/>
<br/>
Starting a new model line gives you a new roll on the structural design (between 70 and 130). You lose all the field testing though, so you might find your new model line is weaker initially.<br/>
Infantry V costs 330 BP vs Foot I costing 120BP. But I believe the cost of ...

The - is a dash and not a minus in this case.<br/>

The Bronze Retirement Stratagem will roll a 3d20 and compare to the leader's Seniority Rank. If the Leader's Seniority Rank is 30, there is a 50% chance of 31-60 (success), and a 50% chance of 0-30 (failure)<U><s>[u ...

I have also run across the same bug when trying to raise infantry formations at 1/2 strength.
You can put 1/2 the troops back into SHQ, then use these troops to generate a new formation, which fills out from thin air.
I'm happy to provide a save if required.

Hi Vic,

Thank you for your continued work on this amazing game.

May I humbly suggest calling the 'Stratagem Recycle Points' Reallocation Points.

Enjoy your holiday, you have definitely earned it [8D][8D][8D]
