The Competition & Teaser Thread

[Strela]

David, what sort of evidence would it take to revise Sov moral ratings? Several books by Sov generals and some accounts from some Sov soldiers, as have been cited for the Germans?

You ever regret posting something?

Whether the justification Ed gave was correct on not, this was from one of the early Alt scenarios (Smolensk '41). Since then we have used these values and tested them as I said against historical outcomes in multiple games.

If you want to focus on the 'justification' go for it, but as others have pointed out here morale values don't just rate the individual soldier, they take into account the infrastructure and other factors an army operates in.

You want the values changed? All you need to do is give me your recommended values and I'll put them in and play a few scenarios. If the end result is closer to the historical than the current results then you might have a case.



For all those worried about people changing OB's etc. There has been new anti-cheating feature included in game. John Tiller confirmed there is a new game file checksum feature that deters changes to game files in an encrypted PBEM game. This will tell you when you load a file if there has been any changes to the files that the game was started with.
