Rain that feels as though it's real... I just drove home through the rain with my daughter and I swear the view outside the car was only missing a few Marders to look exactly like this!

The sole surviving crew member takes cover in a recently created shell crater. Note, every shell crater looks unique.

A T34 takes multiple flanking hits from a 37mm PAK and a Marder II but continues to operate. Note how the different hits are depicted.

A T34 and a KV1 are taken in the flank by the Marder II. Note how the grass around the KV has been scorched by the explosions and resulting brew-up.

As the tracks in the soil show, the vehicle was reversing out of danger when it was hit, having seen the KV1 explode moments before. The body of the driver can be seen still inside the vehicle, while another crew member lies dead where he was shot after bailing out.

Congrats Budd. Looks like you are really getting to grips with the game now.

thx to your threads Redmarkus

...I'm playing the same operation over and over again, sometimes i'll restart battles of the same operation. I play, i read threads, consult manual ect. ect. The basics i've got down pretty well trying to learn the deeper stuff, it's been fun along the way.One thing i can attest too is the AI does different things just about every time you replay. I had to play a battle over 4 times, kept getting that 001 critical error thing [anybody know what causes it?]
each time the AI was in different areas and responded differently to my plans...nice. The shift key thing works great, set different orders per waypoint and they show up on the op map if you click that circle button, the one that shows the command range, hit it twice i believe. Do you guys have nite battles turned off? Just about all my battles have been at nite. I'm still trying out different things in video settings to get the most out of my new but not high end laptop. I'm getting better at the op map play, you sure were right about putting some thought into which battles you fight first, big difference. Have a question about the op map, when i hover my cursor over a flame symbol there's little x's over units, am i to understand that signals which units will be involved in that battle? Anyway keep the informative threads coming we can all learn and pass the info on....god knows they need a much better manual

.. Thx again for making this game jump to the head of my gaming cue

Hey Budd.

That's great to hear and I'm glad the threads were helpful.

Regarding the critical error message, I had never seen it before yesterday. It might have had something to do with installing the 7c patch and then forgetting to create a new profile and delete the old one, or it may have been my video settings. I did a full re-install and created a new profile and so far (touch wood) it hasn't happened again.

Thanks for the tip about turning the show command range button on. I'll give that a try.

Yes, I do believe that the red X signs show the units that will take part in the battle. Knowing that and selecting the best flame/battle to start with is the key to the game - if you can get it so that your best units destroy the strongest enemy units present during the first battle, then you are able to exploit that subsequently.

Let us know how it goes because Andrey at Graviteam suggested this solution, so we can let him know as well.

My T34 spots an enemy Panzer. The AI then drops smoke rounds to veil its moves and the enemy tank is hidden from view. Sweet.
