RMM Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Seem to be having a recurring issue in different battles where lightly injured truppen will not buddy aid no matter how long they are left in the same tile as casualty. Can anyone confirm this? Are they considered unable to add to their (ammo) load because of their wounds? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong, but I think that morale plays a role. Buddy aid when the situation has improved. Cautious and nervous troops are well cautious and nervous. They tend to ignore players orders at times. CM is very unclear about this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theforger Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 It seems to happen quite regularly towards the end of some battles rather than earlier on. Which would back @chuckdyke theory. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulletpoint Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I think that if troops are already carrying a lot of ammo, they are unable to buddy aid because that would bring their total carry weight above the limit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chibot Mk IX Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I think this is a bug. Many times this happens when the casualty falls on the boundary of two tiles, that is very likely cause the trouble you experienced. Also , here is my guess, if you try to use a team with very limit headcount they will usually refuse to aid. Sending a squad could work but not guarantee. I have a save file that a KIA pixeltruppen surrounded by couple squads/teams on the adjacent four tiles but no one help even after couple min. I will look for that save file later Here is a screenshot of my current game a two men Volkssturm Plt HQ team refuse to aid an injured comrade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c3k Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Lightly Injured = yellow? There is no buddy aid for that. "It's just a flesh wound." Their speed/endurance/ability to carry are reduced. Otherwise, good to go. Wounded = Red. Yeah, sometimes it's tough to get to them. A face command (and some time) will help. Their buddies need to spot them and then move there. Suppression and morale may play into that response time. (Look for a stationary team/squad to have some members get a "moving" status.) Otherwise, try moving to the adjacent square and FACE back toward the WIA. As a last ditch effort, use a few Pause commands and a SLOW. The turn (Wego) should end with your team/squad crawling across the location right on top of the WIA. At the next turn Command Phase, delete the rest of the SLOW. That drops the team right on top of the WIA. Finally, KIA get resolved in just a few seconds. Some WIA can get buddy aided for up to two full turns (in my experience). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With any move tool there is a little pointer, with this you must plot very precisely to get on the right tile. If you're one tile off, they just let him bleed out. In case of a wounded, I split the unit high light the wounded and make a note of the tile. Seldom do I have a problem. I look also at the morale as I have now the perception that nervous and lower morale states don't take or are reluctant to take initiatives. Since you're a tester I would appreciate your opinion. Kind regards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well in contrast to the dark reddish brown you usually produce with your cannon fodder this should be a relatively better experience for your "Men". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL...those dark reddish brown blemishes? My men covet those "Honor Marks". Frequently, I've overhead them as they discuss the likelihood of their achieving such exalted status. "Gor! I wonder what lucky sods won't return from THIS mission!" is not uncommonly heard. Lucky indeed... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, yes if they are "upset" it may take many turns for them to function, if they ever do at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
