The way you can now refit individual units on the map is fantastic.

Thanks

I know I am. Just finished a game and waiting impatiently for the patch to start a new one.

I've been only using them to take ground without using an activation point but I felt there should be more use for them.

Good added stuff. I'll try that.

Thanks.

Consensus, what's the best way to use Cavalry most effectively ?
Also, how much better is an A unit vs B vs C assuming the same strength and readiness values ?

No I trust you know what you're talking about particularly if you were a beta tester. I'm just relating my experiences with my game against the AI and how that might ...

IMO air power is a given - the ability to deny your enemy observation of your hexes is very powerful - if you fall behind in air you're in trouble.<br/>

Everything seems to be fine, just playing it to make sure. The changes are :<br/>

1. Allow the screen resolution to be set to 1280 x 1024 or 1280 by 800 for laptops[/align] [/align] 2. Tried to fix the sound problem at the end of ...

<t> As per my opinion of the game I couldn't care less about any review at this point. I read the posts of the people of this forum, figured they had an interest in history and wargaming like myself and took the plunge to my immense satisfaction.<br/>
My guess is that everyone who's already playing ...

<t> I have another couple of questions.<br/>
<br/>
In order for Assault troops to benefit from their bonuses during an attack is it necessary for the entire stack to be composed of these Assault troops or is only one corps (per stack) needed ?<br/>
I've used one per stack with great results but ...

It does appear that there is absolutely no way the German offensive to open the war can succeed. That is a little disappointing as the actual ...

<t> Each Strategic phase you buy the necessary requirements for the war for the current upcoming impulses (until next Strat phase) sometimes beyond.<br/>
Look at the top left of the screen, it will tell you how many impulses there will be for the upcoming cycle (very useful in determining Artillery ...

Thanks for the quick reply.

<t> Does attacking a corp from 2 or 3 different adjacent hexes add success and lethality to an attack or do you get the same result attacking straight up from 1 hex to another ?<br/>
<br/>
I've read that some players use the back side of "rough terrain" to set up a defense so as to maximize ...

<t> OK thanks that's what I figured.<br/>
Next logical question (to me) is how important is Shipping then ?<br/>
In the game for Germany for example it says you should have 6 transports in the Atlantic and 2 in the Baltic.<br/>
If you send those out (all 8) you should according to the manual get ...

When sending out a "shipping" mission do you (or should you) also send out a "patrol" mission in the same sea zone so as to protect your shipping or is that not necessary ?

Thanks

Barracks as well as the age of the recruits and the time spent training them. The barracks are changed per province the other settings are changed on the Economic adviser screen. I think the best you can get is to set your Min Age to 21, your Max age to 30 and months training to 20.

<t> No worries Carburo I didn't feel insulted, I just wanted to make it clear that I had the AI on the ropes. I also usually never let the AI take over until I get that message as well. In these two cases I don't remember If I got it or not. I think I got the "waiver" message. I just remember that I ...

Carburo,

I didn't feel it necessary to go into the details of these battles. For the record I didn't use "cheap tactics" and I had them cooked and pinned etc...[;)] I let the AI finnish the battles and they never ended.

<t> I too feel it's better now. I did play two battle that would not end though. It was against opponents with mostly cavalry , after getting hurt they ran to one corner of the map and would not rout even after repeated yet relatively small loses. It was a with the new version but on a previous ...

<t> Anyone else noticing longer detailed battles (1.2.18) with the new casualty rates?<br/>
Battles (haven't timed them) take longer now as units seem to take longer to rout because of the new casualty rates. No big deal, just got used to the 1.2.16 times. But I also noticed that in some battles ...
