HPS PzC II

[dgk196]

Hello....

Well, I don't know if I'm 'missing the point' or not. Remember this is a post of what you would like to see in PzC II. What it could or should have. I take your points, they certainly are relevant to the game, to be sure.
I think that maybe such things as surrender could be considered and incorporated into the game, even if its set as an optional characteristic.

With WWII covering so many events there are bound to be examples that cover the whole spectrum of possible events. So, such things as 'holding out to the last man' or 'retreating' even before encountering the enemy on the field of battle had happened. I'm just saying that I think it could add some realistic aspects and pose some types of situations to be resolved through extraordinary means. Couldn't it?

Operational Areas. Man am I with you on that one. With, at times, limited abilities to communicate among your own troops, you might have to plan things out. Such as, where units are to be... where they are to go, what they are do when they get there, or do to get there. Almost none of these things need to be done in most games. I definitely would like to see such a system imposed in a game. I mean we are talking WWII here. 'Radio's', at times, phone-lines (to be cut), signal flares, message runners... visual observation and so on. No... cell-phone.... geo-synchronized... computer integrated data... backed up by satellite images situations.

At some level, I'd like to see operational area limits... plans for units operating in those areas and so on! Preplanned artillery activities to be coordinated with follow up attacks according to a plan / time table and so on, sometimes it can really be a challenge to get 'the cats to march in the parade'! That would really be a great option to be sure. I'd just like the game to feel less like a 'first person shooter game', there's just too much of that feel to it for me.
