markshot Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 I was playing a scenario yesterday, "Battery Overrun". My forces were all AFVs. I had crushed the enemy completely by the end, but not to the point that they would auto-surrender. The weird thing was that try as I might, the game would not credit me with holding the single VL despite having a few tanks parked on it. (I replayed the last turn a few times each time parking more tanks on it.) Instead, it kept showing it as contested. You can take and hold objectives with AFVs only correct? Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Yes, you can. There weren't any enemy units nearby? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markshot Posted January 24, 2006 Author Share Posted January 24, 2006 There were. A couple had surrendered and a couple were cowering. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tar Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Did your AFVs still have ammo remaining? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonC Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 "cowering" units contest flags just fine. If they are in red morale they don't count, otherwise they do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markshot Posted January 28, 2006 Author Share Posted January 28, 2006 Too bad ... I no longer have the save game, but it was probably the result of the near cowering units. I had also thought that the game weighs the point values of the units around the flag so that you don't have truly clear the area. However, I think one of those cowering units was a high value ATG. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonC Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 I don't think it is ratio, it is some sort of threshold, but set pretty low. A single small team won't contest a flag. A platoon, even half a platoon, will. You pretty much have to kill or break whatever is there. You can't get away with much more than a busted up half squad left intact, close to the flag. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Yep, it says it in the manual, even - either you have it all to yourself, or then you don't have it at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
