Re: 25mm chaingun does not engage infantry units?

I'm finding most IFV's to be acting strangely. Tried and gave up on Rude Awakening, but the M3's in that scenario love to shoot things with only their autocannons when they have tons of TOWs that could make short work of the BDMs or BTR-Robots.

TBH, autocannons have been pretty lackluster for quite ...

Re: Updated sound mod for weapons and unit movement SFX

Yeah, this is great work; exactly what I was wanting. I'd say it's mandatory.

Re: Scenario completion tracker

And of course the one screenshot showed me a small calculation error in the stats tab, but it should all be fixed! Just some incorrect cell references that missed the first few rows! If you catch anything else, please let me know! Enjoy!

Not sure where this would go, but as there aren't any sort of achievements or running stats in-game, I've created a spreadsheet via Google docs to release the inner data nerd in us all.

Re: Scenario Crossing The Waldnaab - Final Calculation

The game is calculating VP based on what's "on the board" at the time the game is ended. The main thing to take into account is that as you lose forces, the VP value of those units is lost for good (i.e. you don't "gain" VP by destroying unit, but prevent the enemy from having them count towards ...

Re: National Flags and roundels on unit counters


Neat! 8-)
Did mess around a bit with a concept of puting the country flag (subdued a bit) in the lower part (like the seize of the grey field on the Polish icons) but never really completed it. Could be something for you to take a stab at *hint hint* ;)


I played around with the idea (had to ...

Re: question : enemy details during game


I'm not able to find enemy details about identified enemy units. For example during my British 'The screen' scenario, I've identified 3x Strela-2 MANPADS. Very nice that I know wich units I'm up against but together with a name I need data. What is the max range that a Strela can fire, is it a all ...

Re: National Flags and roundels on unit counters

Version 2; the unexpected interaction with the command cycle bar should be gone. I also fixed some alignment issues with the British, Belgian, and Polish roundels as the counters for the new nations have slightly different dimensions. BLUF: even though they were in the same grid location as the ...

Re: National Flags and roundels on unit counters

Well crap; apparently the command cycle bars are somehow influenced by the major color(s) of the unit counters, so for example if it's the Canadians vs the Soviets both bars show up red. I did test the roundels and they appear to not take up enough space to effect the command cycle coloring. I might ...

Re: FPSS Colored Counters Mod


Is there a license for using your counters in another game? I'm working on a personal project and I'd like to use your counter images. The inital game will be offered for free but future projects will (hopefully if they turn out to be fun) be paid.


When I was last messing around with these (I ...

National Flags and roundels on unit counters

Just for a bit a flavor; I have a soft spot for counters like you'd find in Red Strike by VUCA Simulations. Due to how the counters are laid out and change shape/detail depending on how zoomed in or out you are, I did my best in having them at least recognizable. Note that if you are like me and ...

How are the organizers dealing with no shows or those who submit maybe a turn or two before the round ends?


There's a system in place where players who are inactive will be penalized in their point scores. We recommend all players do their best and stay active in the tournament to get the ...

Panzers Forward (Warsaw Pact/Czechs)

Had today off and no kiddos in the house, so I was able to sit down and livestream my playthrough of Panzers Forward. Unfortunately I failed to beat my force preservation of 86% from the run I did in June, but still got a full 7 stars and had 85% of my forces remaining. If I didn't choose to allow ...

Re: Reconnaissance units survivability

Survivability of recon is also due to scenario design; for the Warsaw Pact reconnaissance wouldn't just be a few BRDMs + BMPs with a GSR. You would have those, but also a CRP (combat reconnaissance patrol) that would draw from the regiment's MR and tank battalions and would lead the March + your ...
