Axis forces not attacking

Close Combat – Last Stand Arnhem is a highly enhanced new release of Close Combat, using the latest Close Combat engine with many additional improvements. Its design is based on the critically acclaimed Close Combat – A Bridge Too Far, originally developed by Atomic Games, as well as the more recent Close Combat: The Longest Day. This is the most ambitious and most improved of the new Close Combat releases, but along with all the enhancements it retains the same addicting tactical action found in the original titles! Close Combat – Last Stand Arnhem comes with expanded force pools, reserve & static battlegroups, a troop point buying system, ferry and assault crossings, destructible bridges, static forces and much more! Also included in this rebuild are 60+ battles, operations and campaigns including a new enhanced Grand Campaign!

Axis forces not attacking

Post by Rift »

I got to the beginning of 22nd on the Arnhem Campaign and the axis forces have stopped attacking.

For instance s.PZ.Abt.506 hasnt moved nor have the KpG Bruhns and Helle and Knoche.

They just seem to have given up the fight.

The attached is shows the date of 22nd no movement by the axis from this date.

They show the same behaviour in other operational maps. The last stand at Arnhem is an especially good example. The axis just sit on their own territory and never attack.

If it is the case that axis aren't moving on the strat. I'm sure it will be fixed quickly with a patch.

I'm sure it was working in late testing so..............

Otherwise it is not much of a last stand if there is nothing to stand against.

Anyone else seen the same issue?

Tried a few other campaigns and ops. The entire campaign map AI seems to be either extremely timid or even inactive. Gamebreaker really. Let's hope they'll fix this.

In several battles as the Germans, the allied ai with overwhelming forces would not attack at at all. (Earlier I was having some great battles.) In two the maps I had left two victory locations unguarded, and the ai never took them. I'm playing with 15 minute battles, and the ai is set at recruit, and I'm set at veteran. This is in turn 3 of the grand campaign. I haven't noticed problems on the campaign map yet, but I really haven't been looking.

Yeah, I've got the same - on the last stand arnhem operation, the axis dont attack AT ALL.

On the battle: last stand arnhem III, the Brit paratroopers appear on the map as attackers in the top left!

So the one battle that Last Stand Arnhem cannot simulate is the last stand at arnhem.

Way to go programmers!

Looks to me like Matrix either need to withdraw the game or clearly revise the marketing message to read 'Multiplayer only'. I've spent enough money recently on games that don't deliver what they claim on the box. I'm fed up.

I also tried the Last Stand at Arnhem operation and the Axis wouldn't attack.

This definitely needs to be patched. There's no game if the AI won't attack. [:(]

It's not that they don't attack at all. It's that they're not aggressive enough. We're looking at it. Thanks for the information.

Thats weird. In my first three GC battles as axis the allied AI attacked with lots of forces. In first battle they had multiple vehicles even. In second battle they really pushed me even destroyed my 88s. [&:]

That's why we're looking at it again. We saw what you did during testing Zakhal.

Your Honor, it is the operational/Strategic AI that seems to be the problem.
