So, when can we expect formal announcement of the next DLC?

Does this mean that ground units are being passed over for development for the time being? In terms of unit design, Hannibal sounds, essentially, a bit like the old facility-system.

In any case, the behavior/planning/gameplay improvements sound very exciting!

No, ground units (and facilities) are still essential; they form the "building blocks" of AGUs.

Are you familiar with TOAW? If yes, remember how you built e.g. a battalion unit by putting together troops, tanks, supply trucks and all other individual units for that battalion's TO&E ? And how that composition automatically gave you all the battalion's properties like its offensive & defensive strengths, mobility rating, supply requirements etc.?

Very similar thing here.

Funny that you mention TOAW. I just fired it up a week or two ago and started thinking how a much simplified version might be used to enhance ground operations in CMO. Looking forward to see what comes out of the pipeline.

Thanks for the support. That sounds like a good division of labour, as my previous attempts to post fault reports were none-too-successful. I remember raising an issue on Persian Pounce and being told that the file attached as evidence was too big to be analysed (surprisingly enough, as it's a big scenario).

I get the impression that the devs prefer players to set-up small 'scenarios' via the Editor to showcase particular problems and, while I can see the merits of this, I lack the necessary Lua and other Editor skills.

I will check to see whether I have the latest version before starting Pacific Fury 6 and, if I get performance issues (with my anti-virus in Gamer Mode), I'll see what I can do.

To make it plain, I am not trying to criticise the Development Team and I appreciate what they do.
