We have tested this in-game that if a German unit was present in Elst, it would also be in supply, tracing it through a contested map.

Hi,

I am looking for an opponent to play LSA with the GJS mod.

I am very flexible as to the days and times I can play.

Hi Dran,

Added you as a friend in steam.

Oz or Kiwi wanted for online GC.

Mark

I'll throw my 2 cents in.

No GC map/campaign. aka, GJS style, = a no sale for me thx.

All you get are 1 off battles head to head against your friend....sigh. Please they are so boring without the accompanying GC.

Their own GC will not interest me, as only playing a real person appeals to me. The AI just sucks.

Ah thx for that clarification in single player.

I don't have a problem with reinforce but in MP, just keep notes on which units have been reinforced,
so as you don't inadvertently do it to them more than once.

A word of warning re using the reinforce button.

I am playing Dima's Battle 4 Caen which uses the same engine as this mod and the reinforce button appears (at least for 1 unit)
AGAIN after it has already been used!!!! The problem is NOT with the mod, but the game itself.

Thus both parties in a PBEM need to take note of which units have used reinforce so they don't use it again.

I haven't looked at this mod yet,but hope to in the near future.

Cheers Cathartes. Appreciate there are a lot of demands on your time right now.

Mark

Good job Steiner.

Man you are one dedicated fan of CC.

Hope when I finally get decent internet we can hook up for a bash.

Bump.

Any update info Carthes?

Hi guys,

It seems the game is running pretty smoothly for most people. There will always be the odd crash/bug, they won't go away.
Its way better than the CC5 crap that almost made me leave CC for good.

So,has it been established yet that the current release, with minimal reinforcements for the allies is correct?

I noticed Steiner (hi Mike) saying that he playing with morale on, I actually prefer it off. Comments?

I am getting a new fibre optic cable to my residence sometime in the near future, thus will be able to play this baby
without too many hickups from my end. Thus my interest to know just where this mod is currently at.

Hi Aetius,

Can you confirm if the reinforce option becomes available to the allies?

Ouch.....need to confirm asap about reinforce button...without it, GC is unplayable.

I agree tanks are having a hard time hitting things, including the proverbial side of a barn.
I hear your response to this as being experience related. But it sure makes life harder for the allies who cannot advance
without their tanks taking out the German Inf.

Making this even worse is the game engine difficulty in spotting the enemy troops. Making life even harder for the allies.

Also, please check the German SPG, I think its the 105 mm. The German MK4 and the Sherman have approximately same Rate of Fire,
it appears to me, but when the 105 shoots it looks to reload much faster than both of those.

Great work and appreciate that this is a beta and there will be inevitable bugs.

Regarding an opponent who intentionally left an interior VL unconquered so as to be able to destroy the surrounded BG next turn.

Thats is pure an utter a gamey tactic........such tactics run against good sportsmanship IMHO. There are obvious limitations with the game in trying to represent a campaign battle. Using those limitations to cripple an opponent is just crap.

Now, you may think its a valid tactic, knock yourself out, its a free world. But you would not be my opponent if you thought in such a manner.

Lol..well that is definitely a first. Never seen such an event.

Pity the game had to be cancelled to resolve though.

There is only one thing worse than having to play the same battle again..... actually there isn't a worse thing!!!

Re the naval bombards they take out guns no problem what so ever I have found. Cannot comment too much re vehicles, but at the end of the day,
I am happy for them to take out the guns and be somewhat weak vs vehicles. The one time I hit a Marder with it the result was an immobolisation.

I find that there are always guns to target so its not a biggie for me.

Wow, support for nefing mortars....lol....well I never..lol. Like I said you could leave it as is and restrict it to one per battle only.

Okay re the crashes, what I can say is that I experienced an end of battle crash as well "once", in fact it was the first battle of the GC against the AI.

I haven't played a lot, but no more crashes since, and it was against the AI.

I have a feeling it will not be a regular occurrence and tracking down the cause would most likely be a case wishful thinking.

Nice to see the CC community active again with the release of some fantastic mods.

Regarding mortars: will wait for more comment. They are identical to LSA in killing power, but far less accurate. Again, mortars caused most of the British casualties in Normandy, but if the majority of players want them toned down, can do.

Hi Cathartes, I doubt there will be an avalanche of people supporting to nerf mortars. Why? Because those I have played against almost without fail deploy 2 mortars each battle (specially when playing defence) which demonstrates just how powerful they are. Its almost impossible to even do quick dashes from building to building over short distances without getting clobbered by them.

Thus what you find happening is infantry are extremely difficult to move and there is often a stalemate as tanks can't see where the AT guns/tanks are hidden.

I played your CC5 GJS with modified mortar stats btw and found them to be far more realistic.

Its been documented that they seem to have caused the most casualties in Europe in WW2. NO argument. My argument is they are able to perform "tactically" in this game way beyond what not only they could do back in 1944, but even today in terms of changing the direction and distance of the shot in a "nano second" and still shoot and land with some accuracy.

Lets for example say the Stuart caused 40% of all Germans tanks kills in 1944 (I know they didn't). Something they will never achieve in this game. Should we then vastly and unrealistically increase the penetration of its gun to reflect the casualties it did historically???????

How many shots did a mortar on average have to fire to achieve a casualty in ww2? Five, six........lets say 10 ( I think it will be at least this number). Given the 30 round load it has that means it should cause 3 casualties in a battle on average. Once a few battles have been played and the rust shaken off, the allied player just has to give up on any dashes with his infantry as he is awake to the 5 + man kills that occur otherwise.

Its your mod and I am in awe of the work you put into this. These are just my feelings. If mortars are left as is, its not a biggie for me, as I'll just insist on a house rule of 1 mortar deployed for each battle by both sides.

Great work Cathartes,

I would have to agree though that the mortars needs to be toned down.

In this game (CC engine) they are allowed to change targets at a 90 degree angle without any down time and be extremely accurate.
Hardly realistic but its all we have. Thus its a bit annoying to have them go from one shot with 5 kills to immediately switch to another target in a completely different direction
and rack up another 5 kills.
