Another proposal aimed at facilitating the game rather than enhance it.Andy2012 wrote:I still like Blitzkrieg and Dunkirk was fun, but now that you mention it, counterattacking towards the Wehrmacht's deployment area does not make that much sense. I mean, they were surrounded - attacking deep into enemy territory (Germany) is not prudent in that situation. You stretch out your troops and weaken your lines near your escape port Dunkirk. If anything, they should push towards France into safety. And as was mentioned earlier here, your core is too small to do a double pincer towards Dunkirk (which I understand most people around here did or attempted) and hold the rear deployment area at the same time. AI Garrison units would fix that; somewhat like those AI cruisers in Coral Sea in the US campaign. Mostly passive, but present. But lets see what the devs dream up.NightPhoenix wrote:I always thought the counterattacks make it more interesting. As you say, if i know they are not going to counterattack and just sit there, even with a short time limit it might become boring, just a mopping up operation. I understand for some people it might be strange, but having a rearguard and actually maintaining a pocket with troops at strategic locations to make sure the Allies cannot just simply escape or mount an effective counterattack is just common sense. It's like putting a sign there: Hey guys i know we just got you 300.000 guys surrounded and all, but for conveniences sake I'm going to leave this 50km wide area open without troops and leave the rear undefended, so if you want you can just go there and flee or attack us in the rear. I wouldn't think its fair though because that's not how it works.
Now as to what you say are bugs, this would be a real problem, and i would advise you to make a post about this probably in the tech support section, preferably with a safe file while on that particular map. Because that would be a serious problem that needs to be looked at.
The whole strength of this game lies in the fact that you get a knife and you have to go through the jungle.
Of course I think about the game at a higher level of difficulty. (minimum 3rd - Major level and higher)
