I've just noticed (in Rising Sun) that you can see when an objective hex is captured by the enemy, even if it's on the other side of the map and none of your units see it - the flag symbol changes. It's not a big deal, but it gives you some information about the enemy's position which you wouldn't realistically have. I wonder if it's worthy of fixing.

oops! I meant EFII, playing the long campaign as germans for intance to get to late 42 or early 43 you had to fight around 100 battles(give or take a few). I would just love to start at any time and play it all the way through(45). I am all for any other updates, but this was my biggest wish when playing these games. I would invariably start the long campaign and make it through early 42 and start to experience serious burnout. Even with this complaint I still played this game as much or more than any other! Thanks

Change assault routine
It is mentioned avoid, disrupted unit assaulted from one side against another unit opposite (hammer and anvil) is in 95% captured. Add possibility of retreating to another hex around etc.

Exists #ef2 addon, integrate it
This addon changed some routines. Armoured unit is retreating backward, AT guns or infantry in forrest/village are more hidden to enemy spotters ...

Add rules for oportunity fire
Direction of OF (to avoid turn of armoured unit) etc.

That has been like since the beginning and probably won't change. With a little imagination, it is a good way to provide the enemy false information.

while we're dreaming I would sure love to see even a primitive experience gaining for leaders and units across campaigns. Say in morale and leadership. In spirit of Steel Panthers and Panzer General.

If possible, I'd like to see a system in which a moving unit has a chance to spot an enemy during the friendly's move, rather than waiting until all units have moved and its the next turn. For instance, a unit is ordered to move down a road and halfway through the movement, they spot a infantry unit in the farmhouse ahead. It would allow for more tactical flexibility and require greater care in laying out defensive positions, not to mention be more realistic. Under the current system, its as if a moving unit is blind until they stop and wait for the end of the turn, or unless they literally bump into someone. This leads to situations in which an entire formation moves towards an objective and only then realizes that they are only two hexes away from dug-in defenders.

I would just like to say that I agree fully with this. I have played several other games that have this feature so it can't be that hard to handle. Isn't this what scout units are for?

Gentlemen,

don´t know what´s going wrong. But if i spend time with the Matrix Edition i like to play, not see so many mistakes.

So my first and hottest wish is that this great Game runs without that (blowed Engineers in minefields, Horses and Bikes who attacks, unplayable Scens and Campaigns, ...).

We all payed for the Game and the price is OK. But it should be possible that the Bugs will be eleminated as soon. After this i wish the new features for the Engineers on my list.

Regards and success,
Stefan

There is a fix coming out very shortly, we're just testing it now.

To have an option to display in the 6 adjacent hexes of the selected unit the action point cost to move in.

This would be a fantastic improvement! I'm still puzzled sometimes about the 'reachable' hexes of my units, this would drastically reduce the rate of F2ing.
