Opportunity Fire - will not work

[5 Leichte Div]

There are a number of deeper considerations for opportunity fire. I have not played the Campaign Series for a long time and though the interface is the same there maybe some material differences in execution.

I can attest to the fact that -- despite some lingering, superficial similarities -- the underlying code between the two series is, by now, largely different.  On the CS side, the code has forked away (in some aspects far away) from the legacy common JTCS codebase.  On the PzB side, JT
has greatly reworked the code; much of it is entirely redone.  Working on both series as I do, I assume close similarity at my peril (thereby risking creating bugs).  No, by now, CS and PzB are quite different beasts.  One needs to be careful about inferring anything from one series to the other.

I have definitely seen that.  I so wish Panzer Battle's very elegant air interdiction could be ported to JTCS.  There's nothing quite like having your columns get shot up by air as they move in your own rear areas.  Would really give a CS player a reason to keep AA units around important assets.


Gentlemen - All !
I see all the postings here regarding my inquiry about Opportunity Fire settings.
Wow !!
I didn't realize how much subtlety was built into the Panzer Battles code - and that it is now very distinctly different from the  "simpler"  CS code.
I should have known ….  but for PzB  … it's COOL !!
I  " Thank You "  all for the unexpectedly diverse information.
That is All .   Carry on … !!

Much obliged ..
