Status: offline 		Yes, within a six minute per turn time scale it would be an unreasonable/unrealistic function. Unless of course it was used in a scenario with hundreds of turns. And, the creation of the bunker did not rely on a die roll, that could actually have it built in six minutes. Good bye realism?

This has been done in CS: Middle East. It will be implemented also in any future (unbundled, stand-alone) WF, EF & RS (and any other future CS games).

In case you or anyone else is not aware of this: Construction Engineers already with JTCS can create Trench systems. Trenches are not Bunkers of course, but they are much better than IPs.

I agree with Scott.
3 hours is not enough time for the benefit of the bunker. What do you think an improved position is?

It's a game? True.
It is also a game that has a game scale.
That has been true but seems whittled away by the ideas of those who do not want game scale.

quote:

5.18.4 Building Trenches

Construction Engineer units can be used to build improved hexes. The procedure is the same used by any unit that “digs in.” Once the digging starts, there is a 20-30% chance each turn for completing the attempt. In addition, if a Construction Engineer or Bulldozer unit begins its turn in an Improved Position hex, it can be ordered to dig a trench line. The procedure is the same as before; order the unit to Dig In but start on an improved hex. There is a 10% chance of success each turn. Construction Engineers and Bulldozers cannot be used to clear mines, destroy barriers/walls, or blow up bridges.

I understand your desire. I just do not see it as something that should infect the game.
But, who knows what the dev team will let happen?

Status: offline 		With air attacks, could there be a way in the future to make these only available during certain turns of a scenario? And also have a probability setting of being available, as with reinforcements?

For example, a scenario could have 3 Stuka attacks available for use, but they are only accessible during turns 5-9 of a 18 turn battle. Probability of arrival could be set for 25%, so they are not likely, or set to a higher percentage for more chance they will be there during the scenario.

Thanks

Status: offline 		Hello deepstuff,

I believe the chance an air strike would take place is already further determined by an Adaptive AI setting, besides the regular roll of dice for it taking place. I'll double check this later.

As for an air strike only being available for certain turns per scenario designer specification, that is a neat idea.

No, currently not available. Very well could be in future though.

We have plans to implement this sort of thing in a general sort of way.



In the new game(s) of course.

Status: offline 		Hey, quick question.
Is there a way to make off board artillery part of reinforcements? I'm wanting to have artillery only available about halfway through a scenario. Any way to do this, or limit the availability to certain turns? Having a probability of off board artillery being a available would be great as well.

If not currently in the game, can this be included in the future releases?

Thanks

Unfortunately, easier said than done, as the WF and EF German Platoon01.oob files differ from each other, and the slots for new units are quite used up. You might try your luck with the -X noencryption option and manually editing and adding the units you want to introduce to EF.

FWIW there's the Allied Germany available for EF, for some What-Ifs. Included in the Forgotten Battles Mod, that is.

Here's a couple of pointers, they are sort of intertwined so here's three links:

  • Developer Diary #4 - Creating a new Dynamic Campaign Game

  • Developer Diary #3 - Adding new units with -X NoEncryption option

  • Developer Diary #2 - Having fun with randomly generated battles

    Any questions let me know, preferrably post at the end of the relevant How-To thread above so the discussion is then kept there for others possibly looking at this as well.

    Status: offline     		1.Currently indirect fire artillery missions and airstrikes always arrive the next turn after they are plotted. (i.e. 6 minutes later) it would be good if in the scenario editor you could set the delay in turns for on map and off map artillery and airstrikes separately for each category and separately for each side with no upper limit on the number of turns of delay.

    2.I would also like to see negative reinforcements (withdrawals) implemented for both on map and off map units.

    3.Related to this I think rather than being available as a number of missions off map air strike assets should be treated as off map units with variable availability.

    4.It would also be good to be able to call for reconnaissance missions that would fly on and reveal more about the layout of the target area in the way that airstrikes now work, as I think this would be a more realistic way of representing these missions particularly for faster reconnaissance planes.

    5.I would like it to be possible to set interception and counter battery values in the scenario editor for each side that would give a percentage chance that plotted off map air-strikes will not get through or that off map artillery that fire will be taken out by counter battery shoots.

    Status: offline     		CS Dev Team,

    In the editor and/or while playing a game would it be possible to show range display for multiple units?
    Ex: say you have a Panther & a Mark IVj in a hex and you click to highlight both, then select the "G" key for range
    display and it would display ranges for both units color coded differently.

    IMO this would be a nice feature especially in scenario design.

    Also somewhere I thought I posted asking for range display in the scenario editor and when playing a scenario for off-board artillery units.
    Just reviving that request so its on the list.

    Thanks
    John
