  1. Just curious... re the default support button, isn't it the same one every time?

    Are you saying that just that one button requires 4 components?

    So, it will not work to substitute 4 other graphics and rename them as your buttons are named?

    Unfortunately, I find your button to be too dark. I can barely make out that it's supposed to be a gun. Was hoping for something lighter, more like Bergman's.

  2. Am finding this exact issue a problem also. It seems that you have to keep both the platoon and section HQ's close to the mortars and then have another spotter with a radio (FO or HQ) any place else on the map to call for the arty fire.

    I have seen HQ's that have NO radio far away on the map be able to call for arty in this way.

    Am suspecting its a bug where the UI does not show any radio in the remote spotter's equipment roster, nor radio contact, but the system ACTS as if the spotter has a radio.

    I find that one cannot use either the heavy weapons section HQ, nor its platoon HQ for spotting, unless both are within close visual range of their mortars.

    Am hoping that someone more knowledgeable can clarify...

  3. The other issue is that the Japs had limited objectives - to create a SE Asia Prosperity Zone - kinda what the Chinese are trying to do now - not so much world domination which was the Nazi's wet dream. The Japs knew they could never win a protracted war in the first place. So, Midway sped up their troubles, and marked a turning point. But, that's not the same as "decisive" - defined as "before the battle you are winning the war, and afterwards, you are losing it".

    So, Moscow 41 would get my #1 vote. BOB, Stalingrad and Midway were very important, but largely huge morale and materiale disasters for the Axis on their way to defeat. Atlantic battle (as was BOB) was more of a victory for the Brits in terms of surviving and thus helping end the war in the west as Britain became the US "aircraft carrier".
