The Competition & Teaser Thread

[Strela]

O thanks, i dont remember this from some PzC and the alternate formations in OOB but here at HQ level.

Then if a regimental HQ is destroyed appear the "2nd" commander or appear a generic regimental commander???.

And talking about OOB, how works attach units in PzB??? is like in PzC only in night turns??? and if is like this what is the lower unit you can attach??? i think for example:

You have A and B regiments with 2 infantry battalions, A1 A2 B1 B2, you move all MG units in A regiment to A1 and use one A1 infantry company in A2 other in B1 and last in B2 or play with arty units at this level to trade arty for an infantry company between battalions.

So many questions hehehe.

We used this leader methodology in PzC Moscow '42, it is purely an OB thing.

The Regimental Commanders are placed into the scenario as per normal. Lets say we had a battle that ran for 5 days and Commander A was killed on Day 3 (historically). We would use Commander B in all subsequent scenarios on Days 4 & 5.

If a HQ is destroyed during a scenario it will be replaced just like in PzC with the same HQ, just disrupted, fatigued and weakened.

As far as attachments you can't do it while playing the game. It's purely for the scenario editor. It is unchanged from Panzer Campaigns and works essentially at Corp level. We have found little need for it other than to move artillery formations between groups to provide support. If it needs enhancement for future titles, we'll do it then.

Most HQ's have long command ranges and you can create ad-hoc kampfgruppe's 'virtually' by grouping the units you need together - without the hassle of linking it in the OB. One of the play testers loves borrowing paratroopers to ride around on the back of his tanks...! As long as you keep the parent HQ's in range there is no drama.

As far as artillery, there is usually enough with Battalions having their generic mortars, Regiments both mortars & infantry guns and then the Divisional and Corp artillery. How effective it is, is dependant on the situation.

On top of that you have air and that is changed quite a bit from Panzer Campaigns, but I'll save that for another day....!
