Initiative Score of an officer?

[Frido1207]

Trying to get familiar with the game in the 2nd Kharkov Scn.

There, von Mackensen can play the "Initiative Card".

The manual states (p.72), that the selected unit gets "an offensive-combat bonus
and a speed improvement in extra action points based on the Initiative score of the
officer."

Whats that said "initiative score" of an officer & where to get information about it?

Thx for any help in advance.

Good point,i wonder if intuition is supposed to be Initiative in the officer ratings?

I'd rather think "Initiative" can be understood as "Audacity".

I believe you are right Sir.

from manual

command HQs. Officers with high organization skills can best be appointed to hig

I ran a bunch of experiments with the cards, and posted the results in The War Room last night.

Makes sense. Then it would be "Intuition".



As the "Initiative Card" gives off. combat & ap boni, which both relates to the "audacity" rating, therefore budds suggestion seems also to be reasonable.

So now we have two options to guess, what effect relates to which ability? [:D]

The cards are color-coded to correspond with the ability scores of the officer. Initiative is color-coded brown, so it relates to an officer's intuition score (76 in this example).
