Assault troops

[strauss]

Hello everybody !

first of all, thank you for this game I was waiting for with great impatience.

I have problems with assault troops. I have tried to train some corps to assault at the beginning of the 1917 scenario, but nothing happens. I thought (reading the initial manual) that selecting the assault training option (within the unit menu) would remove the selected corps from the map for some times before it comes back with special assault capabilities. Unfortunately it does not work. The problem remains with the newly released update.

Maybe am I simply wrong and do not understand the right way to proceed.

Could somebody help me please ?

PS: sorry for my poor english, I am French (nobody is perfect)

I think they stay on the map but it takes a lot of replacements make them.

Hello Franck,

I have tried to create assault troops at the very beginning of the 1917 scenario (this is the sole scenario where this option is immediately avalaible) provided with the game. Do you expect me to send you the 1917 scenario file provided with the game ?

In addition to this question, I have another concern : according to the initial game manual (I did not check yet in the updated manual), 5 scenarios are available : 1914 (Opening guns), 1915, 1916, 1917 and .... 1918.
But, I don't find this 1918 scenario.

The manual is in error - Franks comment to a previous questino was "it didnt' make the cut"

I think it might be that you need 24 arms points to convert a corps to assault troops but you start the 1917 scenario with only 16 points.

What I don;t get about assault: Seem to be only able to upgrade lower-than-A-grade corps. And the upgrade takes effect immediately.

I checked it and it was because the option to convert a corps to "assault" required less arms points than actually doing it.  Fixed that, thanks
