too bad not something in turns, as i said when you started playing. [..] nonetheless, hope you repeat similar thing sometimes, like to read and collect games....

amusing story, is Wolf some German defector fighting for revolution with Wallachian hat on, usually worn by Serb guerillas, maybe it's some secret operation as didn't follow story :lol I didn't tell much of the story - it would have blown the 3 threads (admittedly: the Axis thread got blown anyway ...

. Conclusion [/size] I am usually not a fan of playing only with auxiliary units. However, with the music, "density" of action, topic and overall shortness this was actually pretty fun.

:howdy greetings generals and welcome to my [all Partizan reward medals] challenge for "Codename: Panzers Phase 2" (CPP2 for short). Not sure if i have ever seen all Partizan medals, definitively 2-3 though. The Partizan campaign is unique in that you never control "actual" core units. Each scenario...

Actually there is no answer. There are so many inaccuracies that come with turn based games.

With games in general, but i understand what you mean.

mythos

Has the date ever been of any relevance? [..] To me the game is timeless! There is no time, just turns. One turn can be everything you want! Of course i set a correct date when i build a scenario in Suite, but that's all. You are right of course: the game terms of "date" and "turn length" are just ...

Did you switch between Efiles, without restarting the game after the switch ?

Restarting fixed this. (BTW:...

I agree with Csaba: - every "active" attack on a unit sets an indicator (lower right side of the screen) that says [S:X H:Y] with S=Suppression (actually Lasting Suppression only, like Tactical Bombers do) and H=Hit.
