    What are the symptoms of a scenario that is too large?

    So I'm running a test play to see if everything works and the following is happening: When I am at the maximum zoom in level units I click on to command or review,they won't respond to the mouse click. All units un-clickable. When I zoom out by one (or any level less the maximum zoom in) it...

    Ways to simulate history at the Chir

    Running test plays I've found that using higher or lower rate of fire per minute on the Main Gun in the weapons section of the Establishment works best for simulating the tank kills that fit history (as best I can anyway!) Hopefully I can start a discussion and other ways or general feed back...

    Establishment Editor Question

    So I've recently got some additional sources and I am reviewing my East Front Establishments, item by item. I come up with a couple of clarification questions. On a Bn HQ unit in the General tab there are fields for Move Class and Force Size. I listed the move class as foot and the Force size...

    Chir river reboot scenario

    So after a couple of years of not working on these scenarios, I went to my backup archives and got the files all back on the laptop. Right now remembering how it all works, my 72 year old memory isn't helping... 1) Establishments 2) Map files and Map scans 3) Scenario files Seems like we are...

    Test playing Chir river, have a question

    The Soviets keep kicking the Germans booty - Ha! T-34's are very good tanks. I've got the Germans set as very experienced & exceptional and the Soviets as green recruits. I have the intel set up where the Soviets can't see the German Tanks at start. There seems to be no other way to create a...

    When creating a scenario-Assignable objectives

    Maybe have objectives that are assignable to specific formations/units. So the AI on the map can be tailored to who defends the line. who supports the offensive. Who goes left who goes right. etc etc. (who's on first - Ha!) Also being able to tell the assigned divisions in-situ (defend mostly)...

    Error messages in scenario

    Trying to understand this error as the units are not senior At least this is what it looks like to me. So I'm not understanding what to fix.

    Yep me again - Don't agree with adding bases for all Soviet HQ levels

    Unfortunately there are never enough sources on Logistics of WW2, especially the Soviets. As far as I've read seems to me that attaching bases to all the Brigades and Regiments in the Soviet Army (of 1942 in this case) is an invalid assumption. Seems like Corps level and Army level supplied the...

    11th Schutzen brigade and why do I need it in my 11th Pz Div Estab?

    Don't read anything it helped accomplish in the book Panzer Battles, it is mentioned in the 11 Panzer unit history book but that's all. With the PzGren Rgt 110 and 111 do I need it in my Establishment? Does it require units base? Really having issues with what this HQ does as none of the...

    A couple more things

    As I work this Chir river battle establishment I see a few minor thing that would be nice (chrome) for a East Front module. There is no specific icon for cavalry, sure you can use the recon icon but the Soviets in this battle use cavalry, MC recon, which share the same icon. The weather was...

    Could you add pontoon bridges at some point?

    They are different than the bridges in game now - they are much less permanent. They don't take quite as long to install (I'm not talking about crossing the Danube here) and they are much easier to blow up or destroy. Might think about the coding required to make them counter specific instead of...

    Converting armor slope to populate the Establishment

    The manual calls out to populate the establishment with averaged (between hull & Turret) with a 30 degree slope. Most sources I have seen (the internet and my various books) don't elaborate on slope of armor, they just give a value. Any tricks you folks have used to get this as close as...

    Establishment Editor weights

    So I'm finally getting used to the Establishment Editor! Playing around with the East Front. It is pretty easy to use, even though it looked hard to use at first. It does require a lot of information though and the info needs to be consistent! My question is this - When I'm entering weights of...

    Map Making

    So I found this nice site, most of you already probably know about it. I did not. OLDMAP.ORG - You can look at maps from all over the world at different times. Not too hard to figure out how to navigate in it. I'm researching the tank battle at Dubno/Brody in June 23 1941 - At the very opening...

    Differences between German & Soviet Armies

    When the first module drops that covers the East Front how will the dramatic differences between armies be portrayed? Will each side have different delay factors in orders processing? Example, Germans have an hour, Soviets have 3 hours, 1941. The Soviets took roughly 2 years to get their lack of...

    Race to Bastogne tactical help

    So as the Germans to race down the roads would you: leapfrog assaults with several formations? use a move command, probe command? Trying to think what command would best simulate the move to contact road formations that were necessary due to the terrain. My thoughts are leapfrog assault...

    A couple of more minor changes to orders & whack-a-mole units

    Just some more random thoughts about a couple of minor issues- 1) I think the planning AI is pretty good but, it would be nice if I could override parts of it without causing units to become unattached. Sometimes the AI does not make the best of deployments and I want to act as the company...

    Question on Infantry field guns

    I've seen this in several differing scenario's playing as the Germans. They have Regimental assets in 7.5 CM field guns, When you control click them into a battalion assault they never seem to take on the role of a direct fire weapon, they get relegated to a indirect fire weapon (or so it...

    An event that occurred a long time ago

    Around the 1980's or maybe the 90's my wargaming buddy and I worked at Vandenberg AFB in Central California, we were members of a loose group of gamers called the central coast wargamers. Jack Green (at the time owner of Quarter Deck games, I think) invited Ted and I to his home in Cambria...
