Re: Delayed Disruption/Digging In "Issue"

Agreed on using the delayed disruption rule. Many of the older games have had scenario balance severely impacted by newer rules that are now "accepted" as default, mostly in favor of the Germans/higher quality units. So the delayed disruption can balance things - as Soviets, at least, I co...

Re: Changing Unit Numbers in an OOB

I use the text editor most of the time which I think is what Gary meant rather than scenario editor as the second sentence says), but if you prefer, the scenario editor also shows the filenames used in that scenario through the menu choice File - Filenames - map, oob and pdt are shown. And the OOB E...

Re: Bunker factor question

Defense factors are not combined - fire is always calculated for the specific target unit, not a combined stack. Assaults may be slightly different but it is still calculated by unit's defense, not a combined value. So in your case, the defense would be 30 for a defense factor in the calculation for...

Re: Bunker factor question

There are two things that will help with this question. First, the manual has this section on bunkers: Bunkers and Pillboxes provide an increase in the Defense value as well as the fire percentage modifier. Basically, one factor, the fire percentage mod, is the same as what Trenches and IPs give - i...

Re: LCVP carrying?

In checking things out in the game, I do think the manual is wrong and it takes 1 landing craft per gun - or likely per vehicle/tank also. Regarding the Towed Guns/foot, that is how the mortars are set up in the OOB. I suspect the Mortar types are automatically towed guns, not configurable - but the...

Re: LCVP carrying?

I designed each of the landings based on what that beach was like. So for Omaha, the initial landings were such a fiasco, so it uses scatter to place those initial units, and I always thought it gives a good feel for the randomness that occurred, with some stretches of the beach nearly empty and oth...

Re: US AT units plus email

Quick note regarding the AT unit in the swamp, or potentially other units. It is possible, depending on the exact situation, that if there is an adjacent stream or river that can be bridged, then a bridge engineer could build a bridge and the unit could cross the bridge, in T mode of course. I recen...
