    AI Notes

    in Strategic Command 2 Blitzkrieg and Weapons and Warfare

    Posted

    @Kuniworth,

    Actually this used to be game-genre on it self. Cant quite remember the game name, but you had to semi-code your robots behaviour and then sent them into an arena facing robots of other players.

    Only thing you would need for this to work is the option to easily import different ais for axis and respec. allies.

    Bwaah.. anyway.. it was just a thought. it is a good and quick way to test an ai script though.

    @Hubert,

    Thanks for redirecting Mr Constructive to my forum ;)

    Looking forward to seeing SC2 soon! Happy coding.

    @All,

    PT was never ment to be like SC. It is ment to integrate tactical and strategic gameplay into one game. Anyways i am working hard on PT2 and am trying to move it towards a beta version. Still half year to go for that happening though.

    @Retributar,

    I fear the rules will not be simplified. I just like it to add somany rules to a game that playing it correctly becomes more a way of intuition than cold calculation.

    Kind regards,

    Vic

    Elit units?

    I repeat my point. Though i don't know if troops can retreat in SC2, if they can, adding morale could be an option as an influencer of their retreat trigger.

    Because as we all know the Youth division fought well, but also fought itself to dead, as many Japanese troops did too. Morale doesn't let you fight more efficiently, it enables you to take more casualties in defence (to the last bullet/no retreat) or in attack (kamikazi, charge).

    On the eastfront Hitler first issued his no retreats order. I think this would not have enabled Rommel to conduct the battle like a naval engagement.

    I do not see how Rommel could have avoided catastrophy at Kursk. The only way he could have avoided that was: not strike at kursk but at an unexpected place. And that is something more people tried to convince hitler off.

    Also the problem with the Ukraine is it large number of towns, rivers, and villages. The Ukraine is not like the dessert at all.

    Now having made Rommel supreme commander in 1942 and having hitler leaving military affairs (like Stalin) to him, that would have been another case.

    smile.gif Very convincing. I surrender. Probably you are right... i concede against logical arguments.

    I am not going for a detailed discussion. But as an afterthought i would like to ask you how Rommel's plans when he just arrived in Africa must have sounded... (we must be on the defensive, not the offensive)

    What i am saying there is if the allies would have taken some chances they might well have paid off. The historical slow and low-risc allied advance always gave the germans the time to build up defences and get troops from other parts of the Reich. If the allies could have stalled the arival of this reinforcements for some months, which is an eternity in politics, the italians would have switched sides.

    They could have used Malta for air support couldn't they?

    The point is there were almost no german troops in Italy at the time of Torch. So if in a quick strike the Allies would just have occupied the main logistical (ports) and political centres.. the Italians would have switched sides. Especially because it would co-incide with the Italian debacle on the East front. The few germans in Italy at that time would have been overwhelmed by the Italians and Allied troops. This would then happen at a time that Rommel still had a LOT of italians fighting with him. A few months of no supply and surrendering italians would have surely killed him off. Ok the germans would have moved in and would eventually destroy the Allied troops and switched-Italian troops and militia in the North of Italy, but that would buy time to reinforce the south and middle of Italy, which is very defendable (as Kesselring showed) and it would result at least in a frontline just above Rome in early 43, instead of early 44.

    Waiting for SC2? Try Peoples Tactics

    Posted

    Inspired on SC1 i designed Peoples Tactics.

    I released it as freeware:

    Victor Reijkersz and Joshua Ross are proud to announce that, after a year of development and beta testing, People's Tactics 1.0 has been released.

    People's Tactics is a turn-based wargame in the spirit of Empire or Panzer General, but more than both of those titles.

    The game features diverse gameplay including: campaigns, individual scenarios and a random mission generator; Command ground, sea and air forces, each utilizing highly customizable orders of battle; Intricate logistics and supply system; Chain of Command system using officers with unique abilities and fame levels and Empire-building features such as research and diplomacy. What more, with People's Tactics' customizable formations you can finally build your army the way you want it! Do you wish to mix tanks and artillery to deliver a lethal punch? Or will you command blazing fast motorized infantry? You are the general, you decide.

    Be warned, the savagery of war is not for the weak-hearted; The victorious crush their enemies not with brute force, but with long-term planning and cunning strategy.

    People's Tactics is being offered as freeware by its creators and can be downloaded from www.peoplestactics.com

    ( note to mod/admin: If you think this thread is inappropriate you can move it to general forum. However i did feel i could post it here since this freeware game will have most appeal to SC players. And maybee it could be intersting for Hubert too to take a look. )

    THE COMPLETE GERMAN COMMAND LIST

    Couldnt help posting a nice pic of Heinrici

    heinricik.jpg

    And a link to his last battle:

    Battle of the Seelow Heights part I

    http://www.onwar.com/articles/f9904.htm

    Battle of the Seelow Heights part II

    http://www.onwar.com/articles/f9905.htm

    And a quote for those of you who won't bother reading the links:

    Heinrici, however, was probably the most brilliant defensive tactician to fight in World War II. Over time he had acquired a reputation for being unbreakable in a defensive battle. He commanded 4th Army before Moscow during the Soviet winter offensive of 1941-42 and had managed to hold. For two years he continued to hold against what are now known to have been important Soviet attempts to break through his army. They never did.
    regards and consider the 8. smile.gif
