RE: PzB North Africa 1941 - Feedback
PBNA41 Feedback Part Two
I would like to once again express my great appreciation for all the work that has gone into this latest addition to the Panzer Battles series. I am thoroughly enjoying the game, and what follows is in no way meant as criticism. I have recently been playing Brevity Day One with variable victory points as both the Axis and the Allies in PBEM, and the Full Compass scenario as the Allies against the AI. I observed the following:
In PBEM, after ending your turn the victory point values of objective hexes are no longer subject to Fog of War; that is, the value of the hex to both players, at that moment, becomes revealed. This is so in the Objectives Dialog as well, where values for the entire game can be seen. This is what is occurring now as I play Brevity Day 2 PBEM. In Brevity Day 1 FOW is reversed, my side’s values turning into question marks.
In the scenario descriptions this occurs:
Important play note; to move large formation along roads, select the lead unit and while holding the 'ALT' key down, right click on a road hex in the direction of movement.
This is incorrect. From the User Manual (I have put in capital letters what is in bold face in the original) :
To issue a column movement order for a division, select any HEX containing a unit of the division and then RIGHT CLICK on the destination hex while holding down the ALT key. In immediate mode, you do NOT select any units in the division, only a hex containing units of the division.
In Compass, selecting a truck unit causes ALL allied units to be highlighted. Perhaps this is not necessary.
In Compass Full, there seems to be something wrong with the Axis AI. Everywhere, upon the approach of Allied troops, Italian units lunge forward out of prepared defensive positions, often directly into their own obstacles, in an attempt to engage the enemy. Disrupted units advance toward the enemy.
Some Questions:
What are the +75, +77, +79, etc. for, and are they mentioned in the manuals?
In Compass the Brigade HQ units are motorized but their HQ infantry platoons are on foot. Is this correct?
