Snowy terrain without snowfall and dynamic turn limit

[BlackVoid]

There are a few shortcomings in the game that could be easily fixed and would enhance it greatly.

1. Snowy terrain without snowfall.

In scenarios it is possible, but in QBs it's not. In winter QBs, there should be a high chance of snowy terrain even if the snow is not falling.

2. Dynamic turn limit

Especially in meeting engagements the turn limit often results in gamey tactics. As the game is now I prefer not to play MEs at all.

The dynamic turn limit would also allow the defender to play counter-attack. In the game the attacker often makes his final assault in the last few turns. Counterattacking so late is too late.

Suggestion: if both forces have still high morale the turn limit should be extended by an additional 5 turns.

Please reply to this post if you support these ideas.

Both good ideas, both have been brought up before, both are being considered for CM2 (I think), and neither will be put in CM1.

Yes, I think Steel Panthers used to add an extra turn or two at the end randomly - excellent idea - don't make it an arbitrary number, though, make the number of extra turns random.

Haven't seen any topics on the snow stuff although I searched for it.

Thx for the info Juardis.

These could be quite easy enhancements, it is really sad if they don't make it into CM.

The Steel Panthers series had this feature.

What's going on with SP4?
