Cover

Do knocked out vehicles provide cover? If they do, how does it relate to other cover? That is, given a choice of a clear hex with a knocked out vehicle and a hex with trees, which one would provide...

Re: Rallying

I obviously worded it badly. In WAW if the auto-rally was successful the suppression would be reduced by half or more (multiple successful rallies) same as with a manual rally, but I don't see that...

Re: Rallying

Re: 2) In WAW there is an auto-rally which works the same as the manual rally but is handled by the program. I gather there isn't something like that in WW2.

Re: Rallying

From what you say in point 2 I gather that there is no auto-rally in the sense of a normal manual rally attempt, just an adjustment in suppression due to various factors. Is this correct?

Re: Rallying

I had a unit take a hit and get 99 suppression. I wasn't able to rally it. At the start of the next turn it had a suppression of 95. Normal rallying, if successful, halves the suppression. So it...

Question Command Hierarchy

Is the game limited to a three level command hierarchy: platoon, company, A0?

The reason I ask is that I'm playing a scenario (357) which has two German infantry battalions, but the Bn HQs have no...

Re: Change In Visibility

Normal houses aren't anywhere 50 X 50 metres either but they block LOS in the game. Looks like you're stuck with an original SP programming decision as to how to handle fortifications. Since it's...

Got another one for you.

Re: View

What you say is quite valid, but there is a problem in the game which isn't in real life. Because the map is 2D undulations aren't visible and they affect what can be seen from a given hex.

Is there any way of finding what the view from an unoccupied hex is? Like the Unit View but without a unit.

Re: Possible Bug

So a 'heroic' rally restores movement points unlike a normal rally which doesn't. Is there anything else that a heroic rally does differently?

Possible Bug

An infantry unit with 6 MPs moves 2 hexes using 4 MPs, gets fired at and suffers a hit, pinning it. The unit rallies back to 1 SP and suddenly has 6 MPs again.

Has anyone else encountered this?

Re: Change In Visibility

We can add another anomaly to the list. Blockhouses and pillboxes don't block LOS despite being substantial structures (at least according to the photos included in the game). Perhaps it's because...

Re: Mines

So far those that retreated out of the mined hexes didn't get any casualties either.

Observing normal, rather than fallback, movement it appears that they trigger the mines on entry because the...

Question Mines

In the scenario I'm playing there were 11 instances of units falling back due to enemy fire into hexes containing mines. There were no casualties as a result. Are mines checked for during fallback?

Question Rallying

A few questions related to rallying:

1. What does the rally factor represent? Is it a success probability? That is, does a value of 60 mean 60% probability of a successful rally?

2. Are there...

Interesting. In WAW I never encountered the situation where a unit lost sighting of a target during a turn, that's why I thought there was a problem. I don't know if it's just luck or if they...

Here's another instance. In this case the save file is the auto-save (I can be trained).

The situation is this: unit in hex 50,26 fired at unit in hex 57,25, then it received fire from multiple...
