Split Brigade (v1.03 and Grog 7.1)

<t>It looks like a brigade commander can't split his own command in a brigade scenario?<br/> <br/> This seems inconsistent as he can when TC'ed in a division scenario (where he operates independent of his division commander), and as the button is present on his context toolbar.<br/> <br/> Working as...

Re: Grade points and Melee calculations

<r><QUOTE><s>[quote]</s><QUOTE><s>[quote]</s> <br/> I know I could have got more points with D'Erlon by TC'ing. But it would have been less enjoyable. And less challenging.

Re: Grade points and Melee calculations

<r><QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>Fun scenario. It can be won rather cheaply as I demonstrated in my main series.<e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE> Yes I saw.

Re: Grade points and Melee calculations

<r>Yes, I do understand.<br/> <br/> I prefer the smaller engagements but have done 3 Division scenarios and 1 Corps.<br/> They are not really harder in my opinion, just bigger.<br/> <br/> I have used TC off command on those (although not HITS) as I don't want to micro-manage too much and make it a m...

Re: Grade points and Melee calculations

<r><QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>Because it's a brigade scenario, and not a divisional scenario you don't have any guns, and you can't have any guns.<e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE> Ok. I now understand the mechanic even though it seems weird. Not sure how Tortel commands the guns from the rear of the line. Would may...

Re: Grade points and Melee calculations

<r><QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>The parent unit is the unit that charges the guns. For every gun the parent unit captures they will detach 30 men from the battalion to crew the gun.

Re: Grade points and Melee calculations

<r>Thanks again.<br/> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>Routing units gives you points, killing officers, things like that.<e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE> Makes sense. Are there any resources giving details? I do have the latest SDK and documentation. It could affect my strategy. I wonder if just retreating a unit might...

Grade points and Melee calculations

<r>Hi again. More questions I'm afraid. :whistle: <br/> <br/> I just replayed the Hulot Attacks scenario, and my post battle analysis, still working on the game's mechanics as a player new to SOW, raised a number of questions.<br/> For clarity I list them here, hoping that someone can help, and give...

Re: TC split battalion

<r>Hey Rob<br/> <br/> Please don't get me wrong.<br/> I have seen some of your videos and have got a lot out of them. You deserve massive praise for the effort you put in to creating them.<br/> <br/> I enjoy watching them both because I can learn some of the games mechanics, and because I appreciate...

Re: TC split battalion

<r><QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>Ignore them, hold the Farmhouses, holding primary objectives is how you get major victories in this game, getting carried away with Grand Tactical plans and trying to rewrite history may be fun but it doesn't get you the Major Victory points.
