Airdrop,
I couldn't find the mission you created but i could see Magnum50.
I tried to join it but it seems he fired it up for Kluger only. The SimHQ password was not correct.

Rends, someone accepted it. I'll make a new one private with SimHQ password

However, today I won't be able to play constantly being Easter and all. However, I bet we'll make good progress. I'll pick a scenario I've never done before so it is new to both of us!

Anyone knows why white flag units don't recover in multiplayer. I currently have 4 tanks white flagged since 2 rounds. So far i could see noone was shooting at them. they are completely useless and i have left 3 rounds only :-(

Everytime a unit is shot and hit, it's morale drops from a high of 100. The white flags happen when your morale is lowered by being suppressed:
morale < 50 you see the white flag
morale < 1 they surrender if shot at by adjacent enemy
morale < -99 they rout and never recover

I've had success even in multiplayer recovering 0 morale units back up to >50 (where the white flag disappears) by moving them away from the front lines and setting them to "hold fire" for a few turns, the thing is the lower the morale the more turns it will take for it to go >50.

Suppression by lowering morale has been one of the effective tactics I use, once an enemy unit is revealed or reveals itself especially if it is superior to my nearby units I try to direct lots of fire at it from multiple sources, and usually unless it manages to kill all of the attacking units, you can lower it's morale to the point that it might retreat under the surrounding crossfire.

This tactic has worked well to break through some bad situations where my units were bottled in by superior armor, I can sometimes mass a few units and sacrifice a few to pour on the fire in a single point to break through and flank. Very cool that BA supports these sort of tactics and morale modeling.

Boys, I'm putting up three or four games with SimHQ asassword. Let us play.

Wow Airdrop, I was trying to accept one of your games and it kept telling me, wrong password, so I kept trying new ones, but then I noticed despite the wrong password error I now have 3 of your games in progress...

Not sure I can handle 3 at the same time, would prefer just one or two, so feel free to cancel one or two unless you are ok just doing them sequentially?

We can do sequentially. It won't let me cancel the others. No biggie!

Sounds good Airdrop, looking forward to it

Can anyone explain the hold fire option?



Normaly you see the nationsicon like the ones on the at-gun and tank but you can switch to the smaller icon with the hand.

But i'm not sure about the differences. With the hand symbol on won't they shoot never back? Or only when attacked? If so doesn't react the units without the handsymbol the same? I'm confused here.

Yeah the hand with the cross means they are in holdfire mode, they won't shoot unless being attacked, very important for ambushes and recovering morale, here's what the manual says:
Hold Fire – Tell the unit to holds its fire and stay in ambush. Units holding fire will not engage enemy units unless they have been attacked. Units automatically stop holding fire when they shoot. Holding fire is very important when defending. You must take the best shot, not the first shot. Wait until the enemy is close and your initial attack will be more effective. Surprise is your key advantage. Give away your position too soon and you’ll pay dearly.

Airdrop sorry I haven't played any turns in our game yet, it's a working weekend for me and I haven't had the time to do a full turn yet without pausing and don't want to keep trying as the server then sends me a nastygram about downloading the turn too many times from not finishing it and having to redownload again when I resume play later, I think the message is an anti cheat but I suspect it is being triggered when resuming causes redownload.
