    Trying to resume getting on STEAM

    After having removed Steam several years ago I thought I would try to use the site without downloading the app which runs in the background. Have not seen any notice on how the experience is limited. However it seems it is. I hit the Command Ops 2 DLC pages. These offer to sell me a copy. I...

    Questionable performance of 60th Armored Infantry Battalion company commanders first days of the Bulge

    Recall all 3 rifle companies were surrounded for several days. These did eventually E&E back to the newly formed lines. However the companies suffered heavy combat casualties. And then there were the cold weather injuries dealt with after the withdrawal. (The cold weather injuries I'll address...

    Paul M. Crucq, Strike, Fight, and Conquer: The History of the 60th Armored Infantry Battalion in World War II July 1942 - October 1945

    I can't say enough about this book. Paul M. Crucq, Strike, Fight, and Conquer: The History of the 60th Armored Infantry Battalion in World War II July 1942 - October 1945. I posted a bit on this in the Development sub-Forum when i first opened it. Alas after two months ILL I had to give it...

    Incisive assessment of the Panther - explains a lot

    A close examination of operational range (distances) per fuel tank load for all vehicles reveals an offensive supporting class and a defensive supporting class of combat vehicles. The analysis at this link gives the deep background why the Panther, perhaps unintentionally, fell into the...

    When vehicle count in unit less than # of towed weapons or 0?

    Ignoring towing weight mismatch: Are towed weapons abandoned in accordance with the vehicle count in the unit dropping below number of towed weapons? Are mech or mot infantry units divided into two units, one mounted one dismounted when there are no longer enough vehicles to move everyone? For...

    Way points remain till ordered HQ arrives at the waypoint

    Way-points "disappear" when the first element of a regiment or larger unit arrives at the way-point. That is the superior unit to which the Move or Exit command was given, is free to re-plan when the first unit hits the way-point. If there is a faster route to the next way-point from the...

    Static unit logistics as scenario progresses

    Would static units have stable resupply if given separate orders making these subordinate to the map boss? Just realized, in the case of static units subordinate to a division, resupply becomes a problem when the division base moves deep into opponent territory. Resupply backwards is subject...

    Where do calls for in-direct fires originate from? On what occasions?

    When the AI is running the opponent or a player has assigned a mission to a large formation, (AI is running the formation) can all units of all types at all echelons including map bosses initiate a call for fire? I am reading on page 99, "When you order a force to attack, the HQ will often ...

    Do not understand AI execution of Regiment Order

    Gave a regiment an attack order, formation left echelon, shortest route. Battalions are already in position. AI has the battalions circle back switching places and then begin. There should be an option form up in-situ. Only work around is to give battalion orders. That would be a false load on...

    New 13th KOAD scenario - Operation Tourist

    In the course of updating KOAD I have completed a 13th scenario, Operation Tourist. It is the 150th Pz Bde vs 18th Cav Squadron. What do you think about it? Two of the "Knock on All Doors" title scenarios assume Skorzeny's 150 Pz Bde have infiltrated the porous lines of the US 18th Cav...

    18th Cav Squadron deployment in the Losheim Gap

    Have been curious for a long time about the deployment of the Cav platoons in the Gap for Battle of the Bulge Dec 16 scenarios. Cole and other sources describe the platoons as having dismounted their weapons from the vehicles and positioned the mg's in static defenses, Why do we have the...

    Install/update SNAFU

    Is there an easy fix for this? I installed Co2 on a windows 10 laptop which had one user account with admin rights. I do not remember if I installed for all users or just the one. Now many months later I added an account which didn't have admin rights (don't ask please). There I installed the...

    AI opponent surrendered - but doesn't make sense

    Was running through KOAD scenario Decision @ Bullingen looking for errors to fix. Experienced for first time AI opponent offering to surrender. This only makes sense to me in a Singapore or Metz forts situation. I do not believe a US Corps commander would surrender all forces on the battlefield...

    Panzergrenadier Division 'Brandenburg' on the Eastern Front 1944-45

    Could this be the source of some great scenarios? For instance "the last operational Wehrmacht victory of the war that destroyed the Soviet 7th Guards Mechanized Corps, defeated the 2nd Polish Army, and spared Dresden from immediate capture."

    Avoid Friendlies??

    On the Edit Task there is toggle option "Avoid Friendlies". What does that do? Is it a step towards unit boundaries? What about a use case where a regiment has to cross a river but must rebuild a bridge in the zone but many KM to the left or right there is an intact bridge. A peer regiment...
