Me and a few friends are having a blast playing BA2. Would be nice if BA1 units could be brought into BA2 so we could play with British and American units or the BA2 enhancements could be retrofitted to BA1, especially the skirmish mode.

In an AI game I charged a Wurfenhammer unit with multiple infantry units. When I got within 2 or 3 squares it fired on me with rockets 2 or 3 times in a single turn. Offensively this unit can only fire once every 2 or 3 turns so this defensive fire behavior seems incorrect. Is this expected behavior?

Update: I found my copy of the BA2 EAP and reinstalled, grabbed the music files and uninstalled it again. Sweet! I like the ambient sounds of battle when playing BA2.

@butterforce: can you make this available to us for use? I didn't keep my EAP install file.

Updated based on Soar's test: The scouting command does increase the 2 square range to 3 of scouts into terrain features that provide cover for infantry. It also increases the view of open terrain from 6 to 7 I think. All scout infantry units can see two squares (3 if using scouting command) into co...

I just noticed that error message shows BA2-EAP.exe. You need to uninstall the EAP version. You should have received an email with a special link to download the release version. You can't patch the EAP version with the 1.01 patch. No, I'm not a Steam person :) I looked at http://www.slitherine.com/...

@Soar: Thanks for that response. It pretty well clears up scouting for me.

Does this apply to you?

Sounds like you downloaded the 1.0.1 patch, which is quite small. Install the 1.0 release version then apply the patch. You should have gotten an email regarding the download of a 1.0 version with special vehicle skins for being part of the EAP program.

Well, I have to say that seems odd to me. My opponent in a current game said he saw my unit, exact type, fire at a suspected enemy location even though he had no unit within 10 squares. Must have some soldiers good at identifying battle sounds to specific vehicle type and location.

It is my understanding that a scout infantry unit can reveal a hidden unit 2 squares away. 1. Is this automatic for the scout infantry unit or must it execute the scouting command like non-scout units? 2. My experience thus far is that I've seen the scouting command reveal a hidden infantry unit in ...

Was your original download via Stream? If so, don't believe you can mix and match installs from both sites. If that isn't the case and your have the EAP version installed, that version must be uninstalled before installing the official released version. If neither of those use cases describe you, th...

So I need someone to confirm this is either a bug or it is expected behavior.

My guess is it will not play on Windows 8 RT. It would play on a Windows Surface Pro since it runs a full version of Windows.

I'm certain you are allowed to have the game on two machines you own so long as they aren't being used at the same time. Slitherine will correct me if I'm wrong.

Unless you regularly use Steam, lay it aside and install the final version of the game you downloaded from Slitherine. You should have gotten an email about that when BA2 went live. Re login, you must use your same username/password combo you used before. Nothing has changed there, whether you insta...

My opponent fired this unit at the woods tile in front of it and when he did his unit light up in my view, even though I had no unit with a line of sight to it. My opponent also reported that one of my units appeared in his view when I fired it at a woods tile, even though he had no unit with a line...

You press K to bring this screen up but pressing K a second time does not make it go away. You have to click with the mouse to hide this screen.

My desktop is set to 1920x1080 and my laptop to 1280x900 and I don't see the issue you describe with these settings.

Additionally you can select wilderness, farmland or urban terrain. Gerry, not sure I see your issue since you can create any type of MP game using skirmish mode. Skirmish game mode for SP and MP makes BA2 a fabulous game with high replayability.

Hello Gerry, Sorry, can I ask what you mean by meeting engagements? There are two kind of multiplayer games: 1 vs 1 PvP battles, which involves a player playing against another player with various combinations of units; and the other is Coop Mode, where two players play against the AI. In skirmish ...

I know it is much easier to create a game on the closed system of the iPad than the much more open system of Android. That said I'd certainly love to have this game on my Android tablet. Hope you guys have it on your radar and can find the resources to make it happen.
