GAGA Extrem Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 It was just a coincidence i found out about this and i guess it IS gamey: Lets say i have my russian MP company and i want them doing a human wave from point A to B. Now if i issue the 'normal' command, the 'human wave' wil be turned into a 'run' command after a few meters. Like this: Okay, so far so good, so normal, but during my last PBEM game, it happend to me that i issued one platoon to human wave outside the map. What i noticed was, that the issued 'human wave' will not turn into 'run' anymore while they swarm across the map. So if i want my men to 'wave' against a position 'b', i can simply order them to do it outside the map, but now in the constellation, that their way will lead through the position 'B'. This way i can be sure they will not start running, but 'wave' until they reach point B. After that, i can cancel the command and give new orders. Is this an exploit? I guess... Is it gamey? I guess... But what would you think, say and do if someone would try this in a battle against you?

David I Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 Is the end result any different that just giving them a "Move" order? DavidI 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAGA Extrem Posted December 4, 2005 Author Share Posted December 4, 2005 Maybe i got this wrong, but doesn't give 'human wave' a noticeable morale boost? Thus, if i want to assault an enemy position, aren't they more likely to get there and not just sneak back to cover? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeatEtr Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 Originally posted by GAGA Extrem: Maybe i got this wrong, but doesn't give 'human wave' a noticeable morale boost? Yeah they do a get a small morale boost. I think the actual morale boost comes at the run phase of the order, not sure though, i could be wrong. Nonetheless, either way, i don't consider it gamey at all. Your infantry will take much more casualties doing the "human wave" rather than a "move" or "advance" order. Since they'll be a little more reluctant to hit the deck and sneak to cover when they probably should so earlier. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mejsel Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 I have noticed that the litte terrain-and-activity picture on the bottom of the screen reads "human wave" even as the men have moved into the run-segment of the wave-order. This would support MeatEtr´s suggestion that the morale boost comes there. An experiment could consist of firing on various groups of waveing troops to see weather they pin down easier in the wave-segment or the run-segment.

Claw Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Hmmm. I don't remember being able to cancel a human wave attack. Its been a while, I must admit. Once I set a Human Wave with a 60+ second delay and was unable to cancel it. My opponent bombarded the church they were destined for. My Wave got there just in time for it to collapse on them. I saw that it was going to happen but couldn't cancel the command. Lucky me... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
