An Idea to help with AARs and capturing odd behaviour

Command Ops: Battles From The Bulge takes the highly acclaimed Airborne Assault engine back to the West Front for the crucial engagements during the Ardennes Offensive. Test your command skills in the fiery crucible of Airborne Assault’s “pausable continuous time” uber-realistic game engine. It's up to you to develop the strategy, issue the orders, set the pace, and try to win the laurels of victory in the cold, shadowy Ardennes.
Command Ops: Highway to the Reich brings us to the setting of one of the most epic and controversial battles of World War II: Operation Market-Garden, covering every major engagement along Hell’s Highway, from the surprise capture of Joe’s Bridge by the Irish Guards a week before the offensive to the final battles on “The Island” south of Arnhem.

An Idea to help with AARs and capturing odd behaviour

Post by Major SNAFU_M »

Hi all,

I would like to request that the following be added in some fashion either to this game or to the next one.

Refined Automation of savegames.

Either:
1) Allow the user to set the frequency of autosaves.
2) Give us a hot-key that will allow a quicksave that auto-increments the filename with a timestamp

Why?

Makes taking action shots for AAR much less intrusive than having to stop, save, etc.

Also, many times I have read where a bug or odd behaviour has happened that there is a request for a save game close to the time of the 'incident'. Often this isn't possible because the game is so good and consuming that we don't keep track of our last save and 20 minutes is too long between saves.

Yes they are both good suggestions. I'll see what we can do.

@Deathtreader:

I believe is it something a professor of Irish History says in a novel I once read. I will have to see if I can come up with the name of the book.

Found it: http://www.amazon.com/Ireland-Novel-Fra ... 479&sr=8-9

I believe the characters name is T. Bartlet Rile. I shall amend my sig to give proper credit.
