Wargames

[Fernando Torres]

Hey

I am going to introduce you one of the generic decisions we added in Darkest Hour in order to let you enjoy the game not only during war times, but also during peace times where you have to prepare your country for the upcoming conflict.

We have added a 'Wargames' decision that seeks to gather some of your generals and let them play wargames simulating how they would react in the event of a war or of a specific enemy attack. This kind of wargames or Kriegsspiel was and is still very common in the military.
In game it allows some of your generals randomly chosen to gain skills.

But in order to set up these wargames, you need some money!

We have made sure through many generic decisions that you can make use of your budget surplus. Setting up wargames is one of these uses.

When you choose to take the decision, provided that you have met the required conditions, you will get a window popping up that will ask you if you want to proceed or are willing to cancel the wargame (just as with any decision).
Let us proceed and see what happens...

Some of your generals have played Darkest Hour and gained some skills. Nice!

The generals that will gain skills are chosen randomly so you cannot exploit this decision. Besides, you will sometimes be lucky and see many generals gain skills, whereas sometimes only one will.

Overall this wargame decision is very fun and will keep you busy during both peace and war times. I think you will really enjoy it. Now if you will excuse me, I have a Great War to win!

Cheers.

Cool! But aint it a bit expensive :O

 

[Xesan]

Playing with military units in RL isnt cheap

This is just awesome! A wargame which lets your wargame generals play wargames! You could create a brand like the Tony Hawk games!

Yo dawg, we heard you like wargames?

The trigger is 1k money? Are there any time restrictions (like no more than 1 wargame a year), or it just depends on money?

+1 I think that some time limit would be in order, even if not that strict, e.g. 3 months.

Very good idea, though. I also love the fact that we will be able to use the money for more things than in HOI2.

Yep. You know Hoi-players are tough...you give'em one day and they'll conquer whole world playing for Mongolia. I'm sure players will find some way to get more money (like selling divisions), so there should be some time restrictions. The idea is nice, all these little pieces make perfect game

+ Let 1-2 units from your army gain ~5 experience points. This would be even better i think

edit yes some kind of time restriction would be good.

 

[tuore]

I don't remember exactly, but I'm quite sure it has a time restriction. So no worries.

That's military exercises. The wargame here is when generals play out battles on maps improving their operational skills. Though military exercises decision would be great too

Will there be a version of this decision for navy and air commanders?

 

[unmerged(53301)]

Ahh I was hoping it would take some of your forces and temporarily make them enemies and you would fight them haha.

I still like this though.

Are you interested in similar explanations with other decisions?

Yep.

 

[vadermath]

I think there's no real need to ask; most of us are interested about everything.

 

[Grimlin]

I'd like to know whether this skill-up ignores old-guard generals. Would make sense, me thinks

 

[Blecky]

Are those skills gained determined randomly or are they related to the land doctrines that you´ve chosen?
