I get that folks seem upset that an HQ can resist an attack, but I would also like to point out that certain HQs (certainly regiment and brigade level, and probably division level in the Allied Armies at least) are not just a bunch of generals and clerks but also customarily have a security ...

Some time back I was playing the same scenario as the Germans in a PBEM match and while I can only supply anecdotal evidence I distinctly recall feeling the same as Verdun1916 is. First few wired bridges had the customary destruction rate and then once the game was 25-30 turns in or so it got to the ...

The use of an HQ in the front lines is of limited value since they don't project a ZOC, but in the right situation, or a desperate situation, can usually provide assistance to a subordinate unit especially if the subordinate is disrupted and the HQ fresh and un-disrupted. If you are playing a ...

2. The Maginot line artillery should be able to provide fire support for infantry in advanced posts. As it's set up right now, all the Maginot line turrets and supporting fortress artillery units behind the line are grouped under the Fortified Sector or Fortress Infantry Division for that part of ...

Hopefully this offers some clarification: This tournament will only select scenarios from titles that are COMMON to all entrants.

I believe I know the answer to this question already, but will ask it anyway. I tend to play a large majority of my games as the big, long, full campaign scenarios. That naturally involves a fair bit of long range planning for both sides. It has always been a bit of bummer that when I'm blowing up ...

Isolated bunkers can be approached fairly safely. On the advance my ATGs usually tend to be on my flanks protecting ...

Bring on Starship Troopers!! (the book not the movie) LOL

After much digging (because I hate it when I think I may have imagined something) I found that Engineers in Strategic War work to Lower the Defensive Value of Fortifications, which in turn lowers the casualties taken by attacker, which produces the effect I was thinking of. Ricky B reminded me that ...

Rubble clearance has been reviewed and adjusted. The base level of half the digging in percentage is modified by the engineer unit’s size. A battalion (or three companies combined) is 3x the rubble clearance percentage, two companies combined are 2x and a standalone company 1x. Importantly, each e ...
