COMMANDERS ?

[operating]

Why are so many nations not allowed to develop Commanders? or typically the German Commanders employed during conflicks in Turkey ect..

[battlevonwar]

Not sure, I have had Commanders with almost every nation so far, except Minors. Plus I rarely see much of an impact on the battlefield with them anyway..not sure what you get for them...sometimes they have negative impacts by their details?

HAIG, has a bad defense rating, combined with a good assault rating.

What I do with Haig is use him for an attack, once the attack is all done and my entire turn is about over, is remove/detach him from the game, then next turn attach him somewhere. His poor defence rating can really hurt you in a counter offence if you leave him in the game all the time.

The same can be done with the 2 French generals that have poor defense ratings.

To me using the attach/detach of generals to different locations can enhance gameplay.

Perhaps there is a subtle difference with the commander. I'd like to actually see it. Does this impact dice as I see no precise formula for the offense/defense ratings?

[freeboy]

am I playing the same game? How do you detach a commander?

[battlevonwar]

The unit that has has a commander will have a little red X in it's box... Took me a few matches to notice... you can detach the commander and then replace him to another unit of your choosing...
P.S. I still think they're worth a bucket of spit

I attach Generals and admirals and it adds a star on the map, are these something diffeent?
I actually do not no what you mean when you say x in the box???

[freeboy]

ok.. I found the unit info stuff... Haig looks bad for the defensive areas... which in the early war you really need them all to be... thanks

Before attaching a commander to a unit, take a look at it's (units) attack/defense values. Then attach the commander, you should notice a change up or down in those values, not just that unit, but also other units within commander's range.

I'm starting to really get into this game editing wise, I have added a new Admiral David Beatty !

[Hellfirejet]

Admiral Beatty being deployed August 1914 in game.[:)]

[Hellfirejet]

New art for General Douglas Haig. I have removed the minus defence rating for Haig! It is bad enough fighting without having a commander, whose stats are a liability.[:)]( I'm in the process of adding new art work + new commanders for all Countries )

[operating]

Have you given any thought about Ludendorff?

[Hellfirejet]

I will be adding a lot of new commanders, I'm working my way through each country at the moment, I have just finished James McCudden.[:)] So the answer to your question is yes I will be doing Ludendorff.

[Hellfirejet]

General Ludendorff joins the German army as soon as the attack on Belgium occurs.

[Hellfirejet]

New art for German Admiral Scheer.

[Hellfirejet]

New art General Von Hindenburg.

[Hellfirejet]

New art Fighter Ace Boelcke.

[Hellfirejet]

Admiral Hipper is added to the game for the first time, he joins as soon as Germany starts the war against Belgium.[;)]

[Hellfirejet]

German Admiral Friedrich von Ingenohl added to the game and starts as soon as war is declared against Belgium.[:)]
