Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I've asked nicely but apparently that isn't sufficient so...

Next person to point out (for the 6th time in this thread alone) that there is a grammar error in the orders box will get a nice week-long enforced "vacation" from the Paradox forums to contemplate the rule about redundant/spam posting.

Well, I understand him, there are much more interesting things to discuss about this screenshot than one little grammatical error that obviously has no impact on the game itself and will be edited anyway.

One thing I've been wondering about is whether or not leader assignment really is tied to a HQ unit after all? In that case I really hope HQ units are fast to build and not too expensive. I mean, needing an HQ for every separate army (especially when fighting in for example russia and you want to "garrison" the frontline) would put an unrealistic strain on your construction capacatiy in that case... IMHO anyway. ;)

The Battle Scenarios will be a great addition in this game. And judging by what Johan said: Winter war battle scenario!!! I'm in heaven.

Looking a the screenie tough, Belgium REALLY need's a port.

It might be that the port facilities/naval base at Ghent was just destroyed/damaged, if you'll notice a lot of cities that realistically have ports, do not have the icons, it also appears every port that fighting has thus far not reached (every port Germany controls) has the port/naval base icon, so maybe ports/naval bases can be destroyed while retreating. If this is true, it would hold that you can rebuild the port/naval base.

More provinces for the Low Countries! Whoo hoo!

And

It's closer to coming out!


I saw HOI today at EB for either 14.99 or 19.99. They had Victoria too so the games are still there for people to find :)

I wonder how many people go for the 19.99 option over 14.99. ;)

It could also be that its still a beta, and the ports haven't all been placed yet.IIRC in other P'dox game beta screenshots there were quite a few ports missing/in the middle of provinces, etc. They'll be fixed once the important things are done.

I'm not sure about that "Allied" tag... ok, for this scenario since the Ardennes was launched against the US sector, but I don't think that such withe-star banner could work for 1940 western scenarios... :rolleyes:

As Johan said, it's for 2 players. Would you prefer the USA/UK got full control instead?

But if it represents something like corps artillery (the big guns) it doesn't match with the stats of the HQ unit as it has only 5 Soft Attack ?
But then again maybe it's clickable to give it missions, and the red arrow is there to remind the player about that.

Maybe the HQ unit doesn't actually have any combat stats of its own, and all those displayed come from the artillery attachment? That would mean the attachment adds a pretty nice punch to a division. And it's not a bad way to represent corps assets apart from the divisional ones.

pre-decided :)
Each battlescenario has a large set of unique events for them.


This Battlescenario is called "The Ardennes Offensive" and involves two players only: The Allies and Germany, and the map is pretty much only what you see on the screen.

And battlescenarios are GREAT fun in short MP games.

Not all of them are small though.. They all range from covering entire western pacific down to covering just slightly more than finland :)

This is so great. :D Finally even I will be able to play MP games with one of Paradox games. Superb addition and I hope Paradox use this feature in future games as well.

Also if battle scenarios are easy to make I beleive we are going to see a whole lotta user made scenarios. I know that I am going to make a whatif battle scenario for a German invasion of Sweden.

I like this train of thought. Although some might argue that corps artillery assests should carry more 'oomph' I think this would be an elegant way to model it.
