Deliberate attack

Gary Grigsby’s War in the West 1943-45 is the most ambitious and detailed computer wargame on the Western Front of World War II ever made. Starting with the Summer 1943 invasions of Sicily and Italy and proceeding through the invasions of France and the drive into Germany, War in the West brings you all the Allied campaigns in Western Europe and the capability to re-fight the Western Front according to your plan.

Deliberate attack

Post by ulysisgrunt »

I am having great difficulty performing a deliberate attack from more than one hex.
Suggestions?

What? Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!

Are all units capable of attacking? If some are short of MPs this can cause problems.

Assuming you are holding the shift key down while mousing over the stacks, the units will appear on the right. Sometimes some units are listed as available to make the attack on the right side of the screen even though they don't actually have the MPs to make a deliberate attack (usually due to extra costs of attacking over a river). You need to deselect these units. Sometimes a unit that is unready and has already moved or an HQ might be selected. So you may have to deselect some units on the right side in order to get the attack to go off.
