I feel your pain. I've also been playing an infantry campaign. In my latest battle I have 7 PaKs that are needed and completely out of the fight. I was able to move two infantry guns enough to use though.

Hopefully, this will be addressed in the upcoming patch.

Better to wait for the update and see what we can do.

Status: offline 		ok..thanks for the info. I don't really want to start editing files.

OTOH, I'm playing the 1st infantry division short random campaign. The PaKs seem to be a significant part of my OOB. Without the ability to move them from the initial set-up is a major hurt on my total force.

Status: offline 		Thanks for the offer but I don't want make the game "work" by having to mod various files. I prefer to fire up the game and go.

BTW, yes I played around w/ the initial set-up to get the best LOS. However, I had very few opportunities to actually obtain a target; and now (35 turns later) the exisiting targets are shown as out of range and/or sighting blocked. The unlimbered PaKs are not a huge problem if you're playing on the defensive...but not so good for the offensive.

Absolutely. I stop the campaign for that reason.
However having the ability to modify the game by editing xml files is a great feature.
It's out off topic but does it mean we could create a strategic layer software (web app or whatever) which would build
scenarios dynamically ?

Status: offline 		We had to stop putting things in the game at some point so you could play the game. It's not all here yet. We're still working on new content.

If you don't want to work on the game, we're doing that for you. If we're taking longer than you like then you can add to it as well.

We're not saying you 'have to work on the game', just that you can.

Otherwise there is more content coming.

Good Hunting.

Agree that currently PaKs are much more useful on the defense.
