<t> Seeing as this appears to have become the thread where people point out various errors with a view to future improvements, may I point out that the possessive form from Essex is not "Essex'", as appears repeatedly throughout the tutorial, but "Essex's".<br/> <br/> This repeated grammatical error...

<t> I think it is absolutely obvious that a player should not be penalised for capturing objectives successfully. It is gamey and irritating that the prestige system incentivises you NOT to achieve a victory ahead of schedule. This is clearly an oversight and should in my opinion be fixed.[:-]<br/> ...

Thanks.

So basically you should hold off capturing that last objective hex for as long as possible, so that you can clock up more prestige? Not just by capturing remaining flags but through the prestige that is doled out each turn.

That is frankly pretty dumb.[&:]

<t> Is there any prestige bonus for winning a scenario ahead of schedule? E.g. you need to win in 14 turns for a decisive victory, but manage in 13 turns.<br/> <br/> I'm wondering because a situation can arise in which it is otherwise advantageous to delay winning, in order to capture more secondary...

<r> I'm talking about the automatic support level, which is set to 3 for every single HQ at the start of the game, irrespective of corps size, role or location. If this is not a problem, why is the Boot Camp recommending players to go through each of their HQs to change it?<br/> <br/> This is what i...

<t> Can nobody actually answer my simple question? Is it correct that the optimal automatic support level for a corps consisting of four divisions should be about one point higher than for a corps consisting of three divisions (other things being equal)?<br/> <br/> This is what is recommended in the...

<t> I understand that some people want to micromanage support units, but that is not really what I'm asking about. <br/> <br/> I want to know whether bigger corps should have higher automatic support levels than smaller corps (makes sense to me), and if so, I think that the designers should tweak th...

<t> In the Operational Boot Camp by Dan Lazov, one of his first recommendations is to go through each of your corps HQs at the beginning of the scenario, in order to reset the support level so that it corresponds to the number of divisions in that corps or army (or the number of the divisions plus o...

<t> I really wish that the interface for selecting and deselecting units was more intuitive and consistent.<br/> <br/> On the map you deselect units by right-clicking, but in the unit panel you deselect by left-clicking.

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>Historically, during an exploitation or pursuit logistics were a very high priority target. Enemy combat units slowed you down.

I know that enemy HQs lose all their supplies if you displace them, but how big a problem is this for the enemy?

Often I have a choice whether to use my mobile units to attack enemy combat units or to go after enemy HQs, so I am wondering whether it is worth doing the latter.

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>so it is not a straightforward 60% chance or 50% chance <e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE> <br/> Well, I can see that.

<t> So you are saying that you should always recon airfields (and every other target?) before bombing them?<br/> <br/> If this is true, then why doesn't the AI do this as a matter of course?
