Re: Combat Initiative...

My two cents worth on retreat & other tactical issues...what I'd do if I was the programmer:

This assumes turn-based play. "Attacker" = the side whose strategic turn it is. "Defender" = the side...

Re: Laying Mines problem since new Patch, Bug?

Re: Laying Mines problem since new Patch, Bug?

Re: Why no Infantry?

Building on Noble's idea, I will definately include such a mod in the next revision of my personal mod pack. I'm thinking sml/med/lrg = regiment/brigade/division, though, when you're talking about...

Re: Maintenance Formula

Another way to control excess fighters would be to require fighter bays to launch them, disallow storage of fighters in any other component type as planetary cargo, and make them remember the base...

Re: Maintenance Formula

Just a note on maintenance cost vs procurement cost. These figures come from "How to Make War" by James F. Dunnigan. The info on naval forces is presented in a way that I can't readily relate the...

Re: How to Mine Asteroids?/Effects of Storms?
