Phoenix's From the Meuse to the Rhine OOB

Well, it doesn't really matter if it's affecting the Axis too, if the way it applies in a particular situation produces an imbalance - for example, one side land paras with (already) acute supply issues (in the nature of para drops), the other side have clear supply chains and superiority of numbers etc. But in any event, we have no idea whether it affects the AI side too, no idea at all. That would depend whether it's a 'bug' or not, amongst other things. From the way I've seen the Axis side surrender when surrounded, the speed at which it happens, I would say that at least certain key aspects of it DO affect the Axis side the same. it's just, as I said, in these particular scenarios you won't get that luxury very much (surrounding the Axis), but they will be able to do that to you quite a bit, hence the imbalance if something is faulted in the mechanism.

In the big Bulge scenarios you would notice it more playing as Axis as the supply and materiel balance tends to be with the Allies in the longer scenarios, I think.

Forget the AI, it's going to be a HTH online game, but I understand we are also taking that way about lower level rank AI field commanders.

[Phoenix100]

yep. You're right, and I guess it's always the AI that controls supply.

Jim - you write - Would support the game engine's support team's evaluation of the supply issue.

What are you referring to? Dave has already said he is looking at a quick fix for these issues. Not sure what you mean.

Having a broader sample of the potential causes on a specific issue helps target any programming fix to the AI.

Ah. Ok. Cheers. Thought you maybe had some inside knowledge there about what was planned.
