ok, the other day i tried this multiplayer scenario with a friend and i was playing the axis side (italian with germany)


first problem i found is after purchasing a unit there is no hexes to put the new unit, i tried differents ways to place a newly purchased unit, but i just cant. even if i have 8 core units available and 2600 prestige points to spend.

second problem there are 2 cities on the western side that have on their east side hex not connected with the roads. (there is a road gap between the city and the rest on the road). it really affects the mobility of my german reserve units since they have to cross that river to go on the east.

What kind of unit did you build and what side were you? The 2nd bug is just a design feature of the scenario.

I answered this on the main forums, but I'll copy paste here too.

You cannot buy German units without a German flag. Flip the flag in the purchase menu to the Italians, and you can buy and place those units freely. If you want German units, you have to counter-attack and acquire a German flag.

Your German AUX reserves can be sent to the front by train, if you want to rush them forward. The two cities do not have roads because the bridges have been destroyed. The Hex Strings even say 'destroyed bridge'. If you're playing a decent Russian player, you'll very much appreciate having that third river line acting as your last defensive buffer.

thanks for the reply,

Sorry for not having looked better at the description hexes, it was indeed intentinally destroyed roads, my bad.

But...

I just think it kinda bad that we cannot buy any german units at the start of this scenario
With so many prestige points to spend at the start and being only able to buy italians units [:(]

I find it very difficult to have to wait for a russian unit take a city then have my german units take back that same city and try to clear any russians around that same city to be able to purchase german units.

If possible,. to have at the start 1 german city.

Or completely remove the possibility to purchase german units.

What do you think ?
