The Competition & Teaser Thread

[Strela]

I like to the rails and well, i have a little question here, hexes with rails have any special defensive value??? or a negative effect in movement because it looks like an AT obstacle in open terrain.

Cossacks!!! a little big clue

Something i want ask, i dont see this but well i dont know if is possible do something...i refer to the subunits in a regiment and battalion, well, you see 2 btls from the same regiment but you dont know who is who... is possible made appear a number in the counters to know what is the 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc etc and same in btls and companies... i think for example you can see in x regiment units a full name as PzGr x/2/3 regiment/battalion/company (i dont add platoon but could be added to)

Again thanks for the images.

Raised railways (and roads) is available in game. That is exactly what you can see in the shot above. You get a -20% defensive modifier for the embankment. Most vehicles (particularly wheeled) can't cross it unless there is either a culvert or it's been previously breached. Tracked vehicles need their whole movement allowance to cross it. There is a parameter that sets it's height and it impacts visibility and spotting.


Battalions.... Firstly, I think it was ComradeP that mentioned that he couldn't see the Battalion number/numeral in our designations. We have dropped it off in many cases as both sides used consecutive company numbers. We have had massive space issues fitting designations in and found that it was easier to identify by company rather than Battalion. Significantly the Battalion number/numeral is present, its just on the back of the counter.


Here is an example of what I am talking about. This is the 1st - 3rd & 4th Platoons of the 6th Company of the 4th PzGr Regiment. Though not shown on the front, the II Battalion designation is shown on the OB on the back. Highlighting the II Battalion organisation is also easy.




Now talking about changing the NATO counters is interesting. The Battalion name has irked me, so I like your idea. That said every new component requires seven individual bits of art (!). What I may do is something like the below where I name the Battalions by number but not regiment. You can determine what regiment they belong to by either highlighting organisation or right clicking the Unit area.


Here is an example of what I am talking about - there is now a I & II Battalion.



And this is using the highlight Organisation to see which Battalions belong to the Regiment.




You just added two weeks to the release schedule for me to implement this!!!
