ross92021@yahoo.com Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Just received Kursk 1943. Guys, I've played wargames for many years and served in the military so I do have some basic understanding of how to make a coordinated attack. But it seems that my force is way to small in meet the objectives. In the campaign game I can only purchase a company (+) of Infantry, a platoon of tanks and some support assets. This force seems way to small to engage and entrenched enemy located on hills. What do I need to do to meet the objectives? Is it micromanagement of every soldiers actions? Thanks for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcmil Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I think I felt that the forces were too small first time I loaded up ToW. But experience/trial & error shows otherwise. One does need to use the save & pause features to fill the gaps between orders & AI of troops. & you can go mad with micromanaging if you want. I like to play somewhere in between the 'pause all the time & micro' & 'just let loose & react on the fly' modes. You can tailor the games speed according to how you play & your mood at the time, & having regular saves to fall back on you can make steady progress. There is a lot of replay value in the series & I have fought many battles over again with different outcomes, whilst searching for the 'perfect' victory. I think the strength of the games detail (e.g. individual shells all modeled on the fly etc) means you can really experiment. & that experimentation allows you to develop tactics & troops (via experience points) to suit yourself & have some memorable fun along the way. Bottom line for me is perseverance is rewarded. If all else fails use the editor to reduce the strength of the opposing forces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
