Screen shots of combat?

Post by zasgard »

I'm looking for a game that covers every aspect and theatre of WW2 and this looks like the game I want. I did look at Hearts of Iron 3, but I think this game will offer a bit more realism?...hoping!

Anyways...are there any screen shots of what combat looks like?

Thanks!

I haven't posted screen shots recently. These are taken from the Players Manual - they are designed to explain specific aspects of the game, so they tend to be simpler (tightly focused).

Page 6 of 11: Naval combat results. There are more forms involved in naval combat, but this is the only one I currently have prepped for the Players Manual.

EDIT: This is an old screen shot. The names for the naval units no longer overlap as shown here.

Not bad....thanks!

This helps me to figure out what I want to purchase.

I was hoping for an all inclusive game, something to cover ever theater. I was going to try and get WitP:AE and then something for the Eastern Europe theater, but this game might suffice.

Thanks again.

In the 2d10 combat table, German SS elite is listed among those that does not take an extra loss in Blizzard or Snow, does that mean they are winterized ?
Or only partly so, as in giving no bonuses, but not having any negatives either ?

This looks like the 2002 version of Option 67, but in the 2003 version the SS units are out of the chart again.
Confused..

German SS elite are not Winterized. They were in an older version of the rule.
They should be deleted from this sentence.

Why is it that in the Air to Air example above (Post #2) that the detail screen for the Spitfire and the Bf-109 are the same except the CW Fighter has a reorg cost of 2 and the German a 1?  I am unfamiliar with how reorg cost is come by.

edit: I think I found my own answer, the CW units were not being flown during an CW Air Impulse, and hence their reorg cost is doubled, and the German units being on the defensive do not have a defined impulse type (and cannot be reorged during a CW impulse in any case) just show the basic reorg cost of 1?

All mountain (MTN) units and ski units are winterized.

All Norwegian, Swedish, and Finnish units are winterized (in addition to any of these countries' MTN/ski units).

All USSR white print units are winterized (in addition to any Soviet MTN/ski units).

SS units, unless they are MTN or ski units, are not winterized.
