Nice. Battle of Kursk would make for a great scenario.

Blimey, look at the stack size of LAH...
Uhm, LAH has a 5% staff influence?

The XP values for LAH are also not bad.
Don´t think it will funny for the russian units to meet them....

Ofcourse, thanks.
I already feared the entire staff had gone to Paris.

Looks promising.
 
Will you rename the generic sftype names like Medium Tank III ?

Scheint so ,das die Kettenhunde jemand wegen Wehrkraftzersetzung verhaften müssen )

Think not.

new screenshots from Kursk.

The second Sturzkampgeschwader ready for attack



The Steppes Front with the Stavka Reserves.


Ferdinands should break the defense.Tons of steel against red army forts.


variants : Muds/Rain turns,german airgroups out of the west,Manstein Bonus,Zhukow Bonus etc...

I like the Mines icon. Is it a terrain type or a location?

it´s a location.Engineers can blow the locations.But artillery too.
Russian units can move normaly through red army minefields.But more move points through axis
minefields , and reversed.


V.

Will both side be AI capable ?

again, AI is only for training.Search a human player and you enjoy it [:D]

all the 999's makes it hard to grasp the situation, mabe you could alter the powerpoints in the diffrent unittypes

we see.
OOB : 95 % ready ---> over 350(!) units
Events : 50 % ready
Map : is ready 98 % (perhaps some mines still ) )
Actions Card (25% ready) no production--> Units with actioncards

My tests says : hard way for german advance....

"My tests says : hard way for german advance.... "
 
Well, that's the way it should be, it was sure no walk in the park...

citadell is online.A beta.Too many PP´s for the german.I correct this in the next update.

Vielen dank [&o]
 
Too many PP´s for the german..... not to worry, I like it that way, hehe

I tried to test this beta v.058.

In my oppinion few things should be corrected:

1. Trucks and halftracks are useless in Pz or PzG formations. They have zero combat value and 20 passenger capacity. But every single AFV has 5 carry capacity, so all infantrymen goes by tanks/assault guns/etc. They just don't need transport
I know it can be sensible in grand strategy scale, but it's not good in tactical scale.
Also halftracks should have some firepower with all that machineguns on them!

2. Powerpoints/stackpoints are TOO BIG. If all units have 999 (around Belogorod) so why do we need points?

Actual power points system is based mostly on hitpoints. But with units of 10 heavy tanks (80 power points each) it has no sense. I suggest something like: infantry 1 point, arty 2-5 points, light tanks 10 points, med tanks 20 points, heavy tanks 30 points.
Example LAH: 30 points infantry + 5x30=150 hTD + 10x20=200 mTanks + 10x30=300 hTanks + 4x2=8 arty, 5x10=50 assault guns + 5x1=5 halftraks + 4x2=8 armored cars = 751 points all units in LAH.

Most units have max increased stack limits (many 185 points, instead max 100!). If AT engine treats it as overmaxed, then the casualities will be higher than natural (combat penalties).

this is right,i modify this.

This is okay.But why the game not warn ? If I reinforces to a unit would bring should a reference come the reinforces further not possible are !
Or the programming must modify the stack problem.
I could modify this in the scenario.But it is not better,we found a better solution ?
