After playing the demo for a week or so and lurking on the forums I finally went ahead and bought the game and am very pleased with my decision.
Anyway, I’ve followed the tutorial, YouTube AAR’s etc. and read the excellent manual and am working through the “task force RAFF” tutorial campaign and am having trouble with my mortars, particularly in the urban defence mission. In particular;
Getting good and useful LOS for my spotters to call in mortars. There is a long wall in the field ahead of your position that the Germans always use as a base of fire. It would be an ideal spot for a line barrage, but no matter where I put my HQ’s they never get enough LOS for such a mission. Each mortar is under a different platoon HQ. How do I control ALL the mortars? Do I need to maintain C2 links between the mortar and their platoon HQ AND the platoon HQ to the company HQ in order for company HQ to direct all the mortars at once? That makes sense. If the HQ unit is destroyed, can I attach a mortar team to another HQ? I can’t find a way to do this and it makes dynamic responses very difficult if mortar teams won’t take orders from other platoon HQ’s even if they are sat right next to them.
Cheers in advance for any and all help given, and happy Xmas!!
