Re: AI aggression level

I'm glad you're appreciating the challenge! It's a hard game, and this campaign very intentionally explores the bitter, grueling fighting that characterized the campaign. The core AI isn't changed, but the AI can be "steered" in each scenario through a set of designer-specified objectives....

Re: Canadian First Army during Unthinkable?

Great idea! An opposed Norway '45 operation has been on my list of western front stand-alone scenarios I would like to do - others include the proposed para-drop on Rome, the para-drop on Paris option for Normandy, and Churchill's various plans for liberating Norway in 1941, 1942, 1943... But the tr...

Re: AI is not subject to ZOC rules

Are you sure you have a ZOC in the relevant hex? ZOCs are not projected by weak units (less than 3 active steps), so if you have a unit with lots of suppression on it, it may not be exerting a ZOC. ZOC is also blocked by some terrain. If these aren't possibilities, send through a replay or post a vi...

Re: Panzerchaos at Paris

Hah, those are awesome screenshots! Sheer chaos, by design. Very pleased to see the AI doing what it is meant to, and seizing one of those critical bridges. And equally glad you managed to pull off what looks to be a highly risky, audacious plan... damn the torpedoes, on land.

Well done sir!

Re: Crete in ONE turn

I did it in 4 turns on classic during design of the game, and thought I was pretty smart. Now I see what real players can do... hats off to you uran! Let's see your best on hard. Interestingly, blitzing the scenario like this doesn't get you max score, mostly because you generally have to take heavi...

Re: Blitzkrieg DLC Historical Path - Thoughts & Suggestions

Great feedback, thanks! Re: Netherlands surrender - only secondary objectives give rewards; primary objectives can't have a reward tagged to them, other than the prestige gained by their capture. So technically the "dutch surrender" can only be triggered by assigning it as a reward for a s...

Re: Blitzkrieg DLC Scenario (Potential) Errors

... 1. In Flanders Cauldron, why not assign all the German units on the Eastern Belgian border to HG C? HG A is way overstretched in land area while HG C is very underburdened. It seems like the Commanders on the ground would have transferred control of at least some divisions and corps to the othe...

Re: Blitzkrieg DLC thoughts

Amazing game. Brilliant work. The battles show such care and attention. My guess is you spent longer on each scenario than in the base game and it shows. The alternate paths are a great mix. Congrats. Really impressive attention to detail throughout. Things to improve: 1. For you guys: Marketing: Y...

Re: Blitzkrieg DLC thoughts

Congrats Wolfenshtein on getting the initial Fall Braun objectives on time, it's not easy and shows you have a pretty good command of the game! The final objectives are tough, and it's painful to have to use panzers against a city. Your motorized divisions will have better luck, especially if equipp...

Re: Update 12 Test

Very interesting conversation. I too find I almost never buy cards during conferences, the prestige just never seems to be justified compared to what I need to get in terms of HQ upgrades, and what I can get through specialist purchases. A 60-prestige card - usable once, or at best once per conferen...
