    Allied units surrendering

    in Strategic Command 1

    Posted

    OK Why does my Fighter group i operate out of poland surrender when it's sitting in London? Do they grab a boat and head back? smile.gif

    Why when Paris Gets taken And i hold Brussels(AS British soil even). Do all the french armies in low lands Surrender? I know the rule is Lands the allies start with but It makes no Sense.

    Or how about this I own lowlands with the french and have a fortified Army in Brussels I lose Paris the Unit Disapears but the city turns Free French! That is just WRONG! sorry but it is. This should be corrected If France holds another country the Cap should move As per other Countries.

    Bombers vs. Fighter question for SC veterans

    in Strategic Command 1

    Posted

    I think Zappsweden had a good point that I missed earlier about the long term effects a bomber can have when he said:

    "An air strike on a city or sea port where it goes from level 10 to level 0, will cost the enemy immediate loss+lower income for 10 turns.

    i.e 10MPP+(10+9+8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1)=65MPP!"

    Bah i lose 1 point of unit for every point Mpp Do that math!

    I like rambo's plan sell the POS

    I believe they should take no damage. Maybe have less chance to hit but i don't care what anyone says armor cannot shoot down a bomber period. If u don't cover ur **** with interceptors it's ur tough ****.

    It worked, but only because the Germans had no air support and were packed together in a small area. The bombadiers never sighted on tanks and probably never saw any -- they were only concerned with saturating an area, and succeded.

    The same thing can be done in SC already if your opponent has insufficient air cover and you've got three or four bomber fleets available to target a single defending unit. It doesn't require any change in the rules or game mechanics.

    That's the facts jack.

    Thanks for not following the new tradition of automatically calling me a nazi-lover!
    I never pre-judge. :cool:

    I think another possibility is to have strategic bombers cause alternate damage instead of just straight strength points.
    Great idea. it's got my vote

    Finally, I don't think any land units should be able to cause any damage to strategic bombers. Only cities should. Land units didn't really carry sufficient AA or the kind to damage strategic bombers.
    Can't agree on this point often enough smile.gif

    I think the air unit is good as is. It's decently balanced and fits into the game well except for the interception rules (I explain why in an earlier post in this topic). I just feel like the SAC needs to be improved in the tactical level like the ideas I suggested earlier. Also, if we wanted to be more historically accurate, the SAC should do minimal damage to navy vessels and the air unit (acting as a tactical bomber unit) should do the SAC's level of damage to navy units.

    Also, shouldn't air units be able to transfer locations double their range?

    U would think so it's not like it has to return anywhere. lol

    Bombers vs. Fighter question for SC veterans

    I'd like to know how many bombadiers sighted tanks as targets of high altitude ground attacks!
    None I'm sure But then again How many Armor Divisions Destroyed even a single Bomber let alone a group?

    The same thing can be done in SC already if your opponent has insufficient air cover and you've got three or four bomber fleets available to target a single defending unit. It doesn't require any change in the rules or game mechanics.
    Of course that unit would live and the bombers would take a pounding.

    How many bomber wings would have to combine for a 1,000 plane raid as conducted over Hamburg, Nuremburg and Dresden? It would have to be staggering. In game terms it would probably involve more strategic bomber units than most players ever own!
    Players that are any good i would think. Cause they are the worst waste of resources i have ever seen.

    Just my 2 cents. :D

    K take this for what it's worth. Cause i've only been playing a week and a half. But that has been continuaosly smile.gif . English bomber suck! How the hell Does Undefended Armor Wipe out a bomber squadran? I've tried useing those original bombers in every concievable way and they do nothing but get my Fighters Killed. Maybe at higher tech levels they are useful But right off the bat they are a liability. Wish i could Scrap them and get a corps unit instead. Hmm maybe invade Ireland so i can hide them up there till tech5? <EG>

    Free French issue?

    in Strategic Command Tech Support Forum

    Posted

    Paris Falls While Brussels is in French Hands. Low countries become Free French Along with various units around the board But not the Army that's Fortified in Brussels, it disappears? What's up with that? Also there was no way to build/operate a unit there. But i had full control of free french units. I am new to this game so if it's not a bug try not to flame me too much smile.gif . BTW this game is the Sheet.

    Stacking and SC2

    Just a comment. Why XP? It's a POS. There is no need of it. For a home one user system Win9x is the way to go. And there is no reason to goto a NT Kernal until Games Support Multi-Processor Access. And even when they do it will only be needed for the 3D CPU intensive Sims. Not the type games that anyone here seems to feed off. Just my 2 cents. I use Win98se Lite. And i Recommend it for any Home use machine.

    Lmao... what this game needs is a Vcr componant. Like in Civ1. I'd like to watch that game u 2 spent 8 hours on. I wish i had the save of a 46 hour Civ2 Multiplayer game I had (Against a guy named Boozemaster:he was anything but) That was a Stress test as well! 38 hours straight then 8 the next day and a loss do to exhaustion while wipeing him up i left the rails ungaurded and lost all in one turn. Lol I can be a dip****.

    SC, 3rd Reich, & some Rambo-ling comments

    Wow Finding this place and Reading these posts got me to reminising. went down cellar looking for an old european theatre game from an austrialian company. Think it The Company was called Panther. Be damned if i can remember the games name :( . Couldn't find it but it was the best one of it's kind i had seen back in EGA days. But i did find my old Diplomacy on 5 1/4. Now i gotta go hunt out a drive to load it. Lol

    Nice to see a game without Eye candy can still gather a following. I've played SC for about a week now and Am lookin for some human competition. So if there is a Challenge board setup here. Or better Yet a LAdder system (Something like Civfanatics would be nice). Count Me in.

    And thanks again for the reminders of games gone by. The days of Wakeing up with a new stategy for Squad Commander was almost lost in time smile.gif .
