dquinn63 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Twice I have cleared Arras but the game won't allow me to move a unit into it. The same has happened from time to time in other squares. Can anyone explain? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill101 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Hi It'll probably be due to the zone of control exerted by enemy forces nearby. Thus you've breached the enemy line, but exploiting it is a lot harder, and at least one more enemy unit adjacent to Arras would also have to be destroyed or forced to retreat. A fair proportion of the time it will be possible to exploit such a breach, for instance if one of the units that started its turn adjacent to the destroyed enemy unit still has sufficient action points to move into the vacated area. Or if you have cavalry very close behind the front line. But, supply, the weather and terrain will all be a factor in determining whether or not you will be able to exploit your success.

dquinn63 Posted January 9, 2012 Author Share Posted January 9, 2012 Many thanks. Have encountered the same problem with Verdun. Cleared it and couldn't occupy it. Grr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lettowvorbeck Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 It's a nice "feature", because it (inability to exploit local breakthroughs) happened a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
