HPS PzC II

[Fhil]

Hi guys,

I also don´t see any major issues with the disruption system in Panzer Campaigns. I mean, playing this for 7-8 years and I don´t remember I had any problems like experiencing situations when 1 man taken down causing whole unit to disrupt. I mean, surely maybe it happened to me in some of my games, but for most of the time I can pretty well guess which units are more vurnerable to disruption. I believe it´s extremely rare in let´s say standard B Morale German infantry unit to get disruption after losing one man. But let´s take a standard D Morale Red Army infantry - damn, there were cases when whole units put up their hands with the first shot being fired from the enemy on them, while in other cases they were defending to the last man in a hopeless situations, it was pretty hard to guess for germans to expect the given enemy unit´s behaviour, especially in the first years of the war with Soviet Union.

I mean, I wouldn´t be so wondering if some of my rifle battalions would be disrupted after losing one man. If you take the panic in the first months of the war in the east for example - man, some units didn´t even have to lose anybody and they started to run from the battlefield, it was enough for them to see a unit in front of them or next to them running in panic into the rear, they´ve joined them, the panic was spreading like fire, if you didn´t eliminate it in the beginning, you had a problem, and for some units that this ´fire´ spread onto, you didn´t even need any heavy loses. And I think in this sense it can be really considered disrupted - it cannot stand an enemy assault or be fully effective or being easy to command. At least this is what I read, I wasn´t there of course.

I don´t think there is some PzC II to happen or something, current system is good, maybe not the freshest, but I think it´s pretty flexible in means of updates to the system. There are many things I would like to see being implemented of course, but (especially after this new stuff - disrupted units do not lose movement points by half, which I hope will be implemented into PcZ soon as another very-well-balancing-the-game gift for the defender), I don´t think that the disruption system is a part that needs any special treatment.
