Among your examples, only not retreating through the road sounds indeed a bit weird, but it can also be said that the unit could have tried to retreat to a more defensible hex (woods) instead of open terrain.

Have you checked if your preferred retreat path was going through enemy Zone of Control ...

Did you manage to find the bug? I confirm whenever it happens, losses are not calculated in the casualties menu.

Sent.

I have, but it's a save from a modded version and custom scenarios, would it work?

Hi all, I usually set up defending posture ("O" hotkey) for my units, but sometimes I see the order doesn't work and at the start of the next turn some units have the default "Hold" posture. No contact with the enemy, didn't move, anything. Why?

I really enjoy the playback in the game, otherwise known as "FILM". You can jump out of it by pressing the "X" (to the far right of the playback controls (like a video)). I don't know why anyone would want to do this since these are the attacks and movements of yours and your opponents that were ...

You really need to close some encirclement, even small ones, time is not working in your favor otherwise.

Thanks! The graphics are by far the hardest part of modding.

Here's a video of the AAR. For a test I didn't want to make a detailed AAR, but it's still neat to see the chits move on the battlefield and how the battle shapes up turn after turn.

Map graphics are entirely handmade by me: I used Wonderdraft and touched it up with Photoshop. Barbed Wire is ...

Hi all, I've been working hard at a total conversion mod set in a fantasy world with 1940s-equivalent tech.

I've always been a modder at heart, and I came to Stalingrad for its amazing WEGO system, waiting for the moment I could create all kinds of fantastical scenarios with it.

All my scenarios ...

Thanks, worked perfectly.

I only just now saw that Start Date doesn't go further than 1943, is it possible to push it to 1945 somehow?

I thought it maybe happened only if the defender had Hold at All Costs enabled but alas no, I had a unit with that order get 48% strength losses not displaying the bug at all.

It seems to trigger when losses exceed 40 or 50% strength.

Hi, I think the in-map popup should show whether a unit resists a Retreat trigger thanks to Hold at All Costs. Whenever it happens, the popup shows "Unit Retreats", but then it doesn't because it actually passed the Hold at All Costs check.

Hi all, attached a screenshot of an infrequent visual bug I see in my games: sometimes losses aren't visualized. Even the on-map small popup will only display the % of lost Readiness and none of the "physical" losses.

Not a big deal at all, just a small bug. It usually happens with huge losses.

Fantastic! Thanks!

Hi,

Yes, so a 60% means a 40% chance of being delayed, so you're right actually.

Higher CCV is good, lower CCV is bad.

So I guess that really should be "Command and Control Value", not "Command and Control Delay Value" so the abbreviation is right but the name is wrong.

Cheers,
Brian


Ah I ...

Mmmm... the explanation isn't good.

That 100% means there's a 100% chance of moving, and 80% means there's an 80% chance of moving (20% chance of delay)
but it's called a "Delay" so you'd think a 100% "Delay" means 100% chance of delay.

So 100% = 0% chance of delay
80% = 20% chance of delay etc ...

Oh, weather is actually turned "off" for Stalingrad. It was only added for Overlord so it doesn't save it when you play Stalingrad and Desert War.
And also you cannot access the Weather Display for Stalingrad/Desert War either in the game.

I can see about having the option to turn it on/off per ...
