rogeur -> raiders and instant combat (12/2/2006 3:38:02 PM)
Hi there, another try to get some answers. 1. How do i get that pop-up screen where i can choose between the 4 possible choices? I want to use instant combat , but are getting quick combat all the time. I did read the manual. But im not certain if i understood correctly. Only the defender can choose it? The reason i ask is that no matter what i try , i always get the quick combat pop-up. 2. Reading about raiders. How do they work? Do i have to move every turn to another provence ( i know, enemy terr. and adjacent to csa in my case)Because i i put em in yankee land , they do nothing . Or is it random ? Partisans do work, so long i move em every turn. 3.How do i put div . containers in corps containers ? I can get div's in them (18) as stated. But not the container self. sorry for the stupid questions i guess , but the manual, for me, isn't always clear. ty guys ps, this is not a rant, i luv this game, but want to know for sure what i'm doing.

I have the same question. I prefer to use instant battles all the time, but I rarely ever get that choice. It would be nice if it was always available.

Peever -> RE: raiders and instant combat (12/2/2006 4:23:55 PM)
For instant battles choose the "Always Detail Optoin" in the game Prefs tab or at the setup screen when starting a new game. This will give you the three choices for every battle; Detail Combat, Quick Combat, or Instant Resolve.

Thanks I will give it a try. Too bad a game option is not available to only show instant battles.

rogeur -> RE: raiders and instant combat (12/2/2006 4:50:10 PM)
I tried that , doesn't work What does work however is, in game you choose prefs tab under header combat-> turn off always quick battle. Now, those other 2 questions..... for now

slybelle -> RE: raiders and instant combat (12/2/2006 5:13:38 PM)
Second way worked for me too. However, even though I do an instant battle, it would be nice to have the popup come up and say the results of the battle, versus havint to wait for the end of turn report.

Partisans do work, so long i move em every turn. I partly answered this in your other thread. Raiders should be working each turn they're in enemy territory (or the same friendly province if the enemy is in it), regardless of whether they were there the last turn. But they can't be too deep into enemy territory. I'm sure they're working, so try some more. 3.How do i put div . containers in corps containers ? I can get div's in them (18) as stated. But not the container self. If you have a division container and corps container in the same province they'll form a stack, so right-click on them and you'll see the box that lists units in a province. Then, select the small of the two (division) with a left-click and it will become highlighted. When you move the mouse over the corps, the fat downward arrow will appear, whereupon you should left-click again to deposit the division in there. What did you have 18 of? Could you have meant brigades rather than divisions? sorry for the stupid questions i guess , but the manual, for me, isn't always clear. ty guys ps, this is not a rant, i luv this game, but want to know for sure what i'm doing.

Raiders do work, but not always.And yes they are in enemy territory.(next to mine) Partisans do work every turn. Regarding the containers. My question is this. Can you put a div. container a corps container as a whole ? I can put brigades seperate in the corps (18) but not divided . So i end up with a corps container with 18 brigades.And generals that i put in. But i want to have a structured corps (or army for that matter) like the one at the start. Playing the south. "If you have a division container and corps container in the same province they'll form a stack, so right-click on them and you'll see the box that lists units in a province.

" That it doesnt do.It works well for the generals tho.

I use some of the div containers (with brigs in them) When i have made an corps container and have the divs in the same land,they stack. I right click and get an overview from whats in it. I take it that the upper left the name from the corps is.I then click on a div , say the 13th , (you see 13th division) with underneath the brigs. I click on the div's name , take my cursor to the upper left name and...nada.If i however take brig from say the 13th, then it works.

Hard Sarge -> RE: raiders and instant combat (12/2/2006 9:33:53 PM)
Just in case here is a snap of what my area looks like I got 3 containers closed and the ANV open if I click on either of the Corps showing, I can not add them to the ANV, but if I click on the 6th Div, I can add that to the ANV so basicly, the Corps are too large to fit (too many units in them) while the Div is still small enough to fit (or the ANV has enough room for the Div to fit) which you can see, the ANV has some short Divs in it [image]local://upfiles/1438/2638ABACD0654A4BA943C8916FAA49DB.jpg[/image]
