A remark about artillery movement

The development team behind the award-winning games Decisive Campaigns: From Warsaw To Paris and Advanced Tactics is back with a new and improved game engine that focuses on the decisive year and theater of World War II! Decisive Campaigns: Case Blue simulates the German drive to Stalingrad and into the Caucasus of the summer of 1942, as well as its May preludes (2nd Kharkov offensive, Operation Trappenjagd) and also the Soviet winter counter-offensive (Operation Uranus) that ended with the encirclement of 6th Army in Stalingrad and the destruction of the axis minor armies. With many improvements including the PBEM++ system, this is a release to watch for wargamers!

A remark about artillery movement

Post by Kel »

I do not understand why the super heavy artillery group uses motorized movement type while the regimental field artillery uses foot movement type.

Basically these siege weapons were immobile behemoth and did not enjoy the same operational mobility as their (and I am of course not even speaking of cross-country mobility on russian roads here...)

This option results in curious movement rates where these heavy tubes can blitz across the map as quickly as a panzer division from besieged city to besieged city while historically they took weeks to deploy, and only on railroads.

Though it is very funny, this flexibility and quickness seem to be a bit ahistorical.

That is why a change of their movement type/lowering of their movement rate and a higher price for strategic relocation would be most welcome IMHO.

Thank you.

Would there be a method of moving them by rail only? Maybe give them no movement points and force them to relocate by train.
