Hi,

Just learning bought it on Steam.

I having problems with close air support and hasty attacks - doesn't seem to be working.

I do hasty attacks and no close air support esp. in the velikie luki.

Yet in the tutorial pdf it says that it should be getting attached close air support.

Am I missing something?

TIA

Check the Air Directive. GS should be "on" and provide sufficient air craft for task.

And reduce the "percentage required to fly".

Also my mistake around Velkie Luki was putting my airbases in swamp, rough etc where they do not work.

I was just trying to repeat the hasty attack in the tutorial. Even giving the soviet side over to the comp control didn't bring the close air support in hasty attacks. This is the initial turn one attack that I am referring to.

I had GS on it prob was the % to fly have not tried to test it out yet.

Time is fleeting and had other life things keep taking me away from it.

Also worth checking ammo and fuel totals at your bases, night mission settings of units etc.
