Slipping Tasks...

[Marshal Villars]

Can anyone tell me why my armored battalion is slipping an attack task almost 23 hours before the assault is supposed to begin?

Here are the attack details.

Note it is day 1 at about 0800. The assault was set for D2 0600. But it has already been put off to 0616.

I know I am new to the game. Kind of confused as to why with almost 24 hours notice, this would be happening.

Hard to tell without a saved game, but check out each of the subordinates and see if any are reacting - ie. they are resting or reorganising or are routing/retreating.

[Marshal Villars]

Now the 37th is at its FUP. Rather earlier than the D2 0600 planned assault. But their slippage is dramatic. But they have a whole day to let German artillery rain down on them before I give them permission to jump off!

[Marshal Villars]

The attack on the NEXT DAY has already been delayed 2.5 hours from its originally intended 0600.

I am not saying its a bug. I am saying it's probably me! Just am wondering what I am not understanding here.

Still. Even if it is a bug. Definitely on a clear path to being the best operational/tactical WW2 simulation ever.

[Marshal Villars]

Guess what I don't get is that I ordered six armored battalions to launch attacks at 0600 on Day two. I gave the orders by about 0700 or 0800 on Day 1.

FUPs were no more than 1-2 km from where the orders were given.

All of the battalions slipped by 10 minutes to 2.5 hours by about 1200 or so on day 1. There was slippage everywhere.

Marshal,

The slippage is caused because the Move to the FUP can't be completed in the time allotted. Now it may be that it is not taking inot account the fact that there is this gap between the planned Move task end and the start of the Assault. Was the Assault At time slipped? If not, then fine. If it was, then please send me a saved game before the slippage occurs.

BTW please zip the files first as this saves my email downloads significantly. Thanks.

k. Will zip. The problem is. I don't know how!

Let me see if I can do it.
