Re: Help on symbol over unit

Isn't that the symbol the mouse cursor transforms is you have switched from the default "move" mode to "Fire" mode? Personally and I think most players always stay in "move" mode and use Ctrl+click to fire, but you can switch over to "Fire" mode with a button....

Re: The answer is likely no, but... Steam

Automatic updates are not just good, they can break PBEM compatibility.

Re: Science Fiction Series?

That's funny. A few weeks ago I was reading through the old Battletech books (Blood of Kerensky series, start of the clan invasion). Reading about all this big scale engagements where whole regiments fought made me think. I spent a few hours to mod the PanzerBattles demo for this. With hard/soft/ass...

Re: Patrolling vs Deception units

All units that can do patrolling are the same, they use this fixed value to negate the partisans. Of course, smaller units that don't have much other use (like cavalry squadrons in Serbia'14) are ideal because you need your infantry for attacks. One other thing that I noticed far too late is that yo...

Re: Patrolling vs Deception units

I know that the patrolling is a standard feature in WW1 titles, and the patrolling range is 2hex vs. 3hex for the partisans. I haven't checked if this is hardcoded or a ParameterFile value - I guess a value. I'm not sure but when this feature was moved over into PzC and MC, wasn't it tied to the &qu...

Re: Not Missing Out on Important AI Actions

Let the AI run not on max speed, but close to it and I do not leave my place. Agreed that I might miss an important assault but I can see roughly where the AI has done what in general - it's Schwerpunkt. After watching the replay, I immedeatly scan through the front (always in the same order) to get...

Re: From Budapest to Vienna?

Expect some announcements soon! :) If the war is coming to my country I think I have to do some reading about the "Wiener Operation": https://www.thalia.at/shop/home/artikeldetails/A1057134158?ProvID=11010474&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiA75itBhA6EiwAkho9e3D-8MvVqkhc_hXv3VtpJ72XMrcBZ...

Re: From Budapest to Vienna?

I might be wrong but many blog posts ago they showed a PzC map and asked us to guess what major city it was, with the river and all in the picture it looked a lot like Vienna with the Danube.

Re: Scenarios suitable for solo play vs. the AI

I generally play the bigger campaign scenarios as PBEM and invariably save games are on. If my opponent wants to screw around reloading then it will make a marginal difference at most. I also trust my opponents who like me seem to play for fun not to win at all costs which helps. +1 I'm playing the...
