Defend In Situ Attack Option

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.

Defend In Situ Attack Option

Post by Arjuna »

Hi all,

Thanks to Miquel - take a bow [&o] - we now have a new option when issuing an attack order, namely to Defend In Situ. If you check this box then the force will conduct an In-Situ Defend after completing the final reorg.

Am I right in thinking that this is what I was begging for in another topic, where the companies defend in arrowhead if the attack order uses arrowhead? Because that is amazing!

Want: Line formation banned until I give a specific order to use line formation. Troops that don't take lie-ins until 0800 unless ordered to never rest.

Not quite, Mahatma..but close... now, your issue about road column can be gotten rid of.. they will just defend "in situ" -- in the positions they ended their attack, if you click that box before the attack as one of the options.

The issue of road column has also been dealt with in this latest build. I'll post up the changes later today.

As navwarcol says, not quite - they defend in whatever positions they ended up when the objective is deemed to be 'secured'. So it might be that the 'arrowhead' formation resulting after the attack is completed might end up being a bit wonky.
