Hi, would the issue of corps attachment be solved? I would like to see WP allied divisions free to attach to different armies. And of course Bundeswehr 6th Division should be able to join 1st Corps, too.

Yes its all fixed,heres my post from earlier,(i still have no idea why but if you list all the Armies as Corps in the oob it only lets you attach the WP minors and if you have them all as Armies in the oob it only lets you attach the Soviets so ive listed the WP minors as Corps and left the Soviets as Armies and now you can attach everyone, go figure.)

For the quality of german reserves, they are not that good, but they already enjoy the adventage of being able to split into company level, that already gives them edge over WP units, which could only fight as bataillon. I doubt HS regiments and those 6 reserve brigades had enough training, officers, or commuication equipment to fight as effectively in company level as in bataillon level.

Im not changing the quality, actually it has gotten worse, the series 6 of Bdes was actually made of reserves also so its morale has gone to a D.

And maybe the start time should be set in midnight, too, to avoid the possibility of visibility dropping to 1 hex in first day. I think it is wrong to have a single random factor so heavily affect the entire campaign.

I fire artillery mine into Elxaime's rear area for fun. Really effective this tactic is not, for there are not enough mines, and you have to monitor enemy movement and interdiction events closely to decide where to fire, which I usually don‘t have time to do. For some reason NATO fired no mine into my rear area, but that is not important, for Pact following-up divisions would not show up for another 3 days or so.

I think we covered this in a separate post about the visability and Glenn mentioned that HPS would fix this in the next patch, i could change it myself and probably will since we have no idea when the next patch will be.

There is a possible problem with being able to fire mines with long range rockets when it comes to NATO, they have 2 free turns and could use them to plug the gaps in the minefield on the border before the war even starts and this would not be good, this is also the reason why the forward Nato Artillery units are pushed back from the border and/or fixed at the start of the scenario.

For the sake of game balance I think WP should not be further weakened, because now it only has a 4:3 adventage on infantry and engineer, and 5:3 adventage on vehicles, which makes a successful penetration on strategical level doubtful at best. However, it may be a good idea to start the game on midnight and gives some selected WG units and some engineer units extra time to prepare some kind of hasty defence.

Is that possbile to provide some sub scenarios? I would like to play another scenario with my countrymen, partly as a tutor game. But there is not enough time for another grand campaign. Maybe it is possible to have sub scenario of berlin, jutland, and austria?

They wont be weakened further, those ratios dont mean as much as you think, the infantry for example the WP is 99% mech inf where NATO has alot of motorized and leg infantry which capabilities are much lower, as for smaller scenarios i doubt i will have time, my time is up last week of April for a full season of sailing and there wont be any more time till december.
