Re: Testing the upcoming Belgian campaign

There is a strange thing that I noticed in Halen, too. The Germans are refitting some of their damaged units, although they aren't receiving any turn pps. There is something that I'm missing, but I can't figure out what it is. That must be prestige carried over from the previous scenario. In case i...

Re: Belgian campaign

Re: Testing the upcoming Belgian campaign

Will the battle become too easy if I correct my mistake at Halen and make the core infantries behave as protos? I don't think so. 396 is a small amount of prestige. Just enough for an extra artillery, or a cavalry/ infantry or MG/ infantry combo. Certainly not too powerful. It shouldn't unbalance S...
