I'm assuming that air kills aren't very likely until late '15 or early '16? That would be the historical track and "Bloody April" is 1916.

However, the game does not necessarily follow on historical rails. I haven't seen any air-to-air kills on the West Front by Dec '15 and I expect Boelcke should (historically) be active.
What is everybody else's experience, please?

Kirk,

Is the commander in the SS an Americian pilot? If so, Where is the American air force?

Kirk,

Gotta admit, nice job with the Commanders!

Even better, that they deploy when they should!

Commander's "Combat Effect", looks to have been improved. This will be one of the best improvements to the game yet IMO..... Just want to know: When you are going to get a Matrix icon next to your name on the posts?

Question: See that SG has moved 2 hexes from Paris, is that something you are working on?

Can we work in a means of checking the Commanders' stats after they deploy? I'm still new to the game and sometimes forget who is better on offense or defense. If there's already a means of doing it that I haven't figured out yet never mind.

Hi Bob, Don't pay any attention to the actual map placements,I'm just doing Commander activation trials while playing,just to make sure they can be deployed without game freeze or crashes.

Hi Rob, when you click on a unit on the map,it opens up a window,in the bottom left corner click on the Commander button,this brings up the actual commander stats.

Actually: click unit, commander picture will pop up in queue, click the "I" in upper right side corner, then a larger picture pops up with a selection of commander or unit along the bottom of picture, select/click commander, statistics and info will appear. Slightly, another way to accomplish getting info.

Kirk,

See where commanders have graduated from advanced "combat Effects" training schools, since 1.4.2. Have the commanders' hex command range changed? and are you having any Luck finding additional commanders of noteworthiness to employ into the game (there is always HOPE)? Every once in a while someone deserves credit for a job "Well Done"! and that goes to you my friend, a job "Well Done"!

Many Thanks, Bob

Thank you for kind words operating

As you know I would love to add more commanders to the game,I will see if I can create some more art,that could be used for additional commanders,in the same style that is in current use.With the Commanders hex range and combat effects,I have tweaked these very slightly,which I feel helps the game.
