Sirocco Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 I'm probably missing something obvious, but I don't get this. Three seperate QB's I've chosen units that didn't appear in the game. The first time it was a couple of Sextons, then second and third times it was 25 pounders. I purposefully checked their rarity value wasn't going to be an issue. I wondered whether I had to attach them to the Bn HQ - can't seem to do that, anyway. What am I missing? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platoon Crusher Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 They may be off map and can only be used with an FO. Just a guess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akd Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 If you are purchasing units from the "Artillery" section then they are off-map support assets. You'll also be shocked to find that the 16-inch gun battleships don't appear on the map. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Williams Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 You'll also be shocked to find that the 16-inch gun battleships don't appear on the map. Although they would make a hell of a tank if fitted with treads. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirocco Posted March 25, 2012 Author Share Posted March 25, 2012 No, I took an FO and they don't appear for him, either. Standard rarity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirocco Posted March 25, 2012 Author Share Posted March 25, 2012 If anyone can reproduce it, or give a reasoned answer: I pick a UK infantry battalion, and depending on points delete all but one or two companies. I strip out vehicles and extraneous items, usually towed AT, etc. I attach an HMG and a couple of PIAT teams to each company. I'll take an FO under the battalion HQ, then I take off map artillery, mortars or 25 pounders. And either on map self propelled artillery or tanks, depending on a mix or infantry setup. Then onto the map and *poof* either the vehicles or the off map artillery doesn't appear, depending on the selection. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanir Ausf B Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 I just tried a set up similar to what you described. Began with a inf. battalion. deleted all but 2 companies and all vehicles. Added an MG team and anti-tank team to each company. Added an FO section to the battalion. Then bought a Self-Propelled Field Gun Troop (Sexton), a Field Gun troop (25 pdr) and a Close Support Howitzer Section (tank) for kicks. I started the game and all 3 artillery assets were listed in the FO's indirect fire menu. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirocco Posted March 25, 2012 Author Share Posted March 25, 2012 Strange. I think I'm going to have to make a note of each selection and repeat them all here, when I have time. Either I'm getting something wrong or there's a very specific bug. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirocco Posted April 7, 2012 Author Share Posted April 7, 2012 I just ran a couple of tests. This time the artillery and armour did appear in the game. However, in both tests FO sections didn't appear on map. An FO party did appear in the second test, but not the section. Any reason why this might happen? Standard rarity, and in fact rarity was zero. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirocco Posted April 8, 2012 Author Share Posted April 8, 2012 Here are videos of the two tests: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVmrSB4Cyg4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7DxvHyfc5M 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingknives Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 FO sections bought from the Formations list would not appear under the Bn HQ, so thy would not highlight. They also appear on the map mounted, so the tactical symbol shows them as jeeps - you have to dismount the FO team to get the FO symbol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirocco Posted April 8, 2012 Author Share Posted April 8, 2012 That would explain the unexplained jeeps. I would never have imagined FO's appearing on map as jeeps. That seems a bit odd. I'll get back to trying to replicate my disappearing 25 pounders and SP's oddity. Thanks for the help. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirocco Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 Here's a video on missing 25 pounders and Sextons. The render came out a bit back to front for some reason, so the selection is in the middle: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhaDya4GG5Y Basically, inf bn, minus a coy, 1 FO, 2 25 pounder troops, and a couple of Sextons. NOT IN VIDEO: I tried the same setup with rarity set to none. With that I got one out of the two 25 pounder modules, but none of the Sextons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agua Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I didn't see where you scrolled to the next page of the arty dialog box. There were more units available than were in the single dialog box. Maybe you did it and just didn't record that part. If you didn't, they may have well been there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirocco Posted April 16, 2012 Author Share Posted April 16, 2012 Thanks, Agua. That's almost certainly it. I would say that the small scroll icon is easy to miss, especially where it's positioned, and it's compounded by the box having plenty of space to expand so that it wouldn't need to be scrolled. It never occured to me with all that available real estate to play with that it would need to be scrolled. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
