France 14

[Volcano Man]

Have been playing this since it arrived (the smaller scenarios) and it is a great game. Notice that units seem to recover fatigue faster in this game than others, is that the way it is designed. I have had units recover enough if they stay out of the line several turns to become combat effective again, which is good considering the beating men take in this game.

Yes, you are correct. Fatigue recovery is a little faster (if I recall), but not much different but still a little helpful. The difference is with replacements, which the OOB uses extensively planned out replacement levels for all units, so if you keep your units well supplied and in good command and good order then they will recover some good strength.

If they are scattered all over the place and in bad command and poor supply then they will recover their strength slowly. Another good reason to keep those units nice and tight and in good order and a good incentive to rest periodically too.
