Re: Sports Thread

A few years ago, who would have seriously believed that in 2025 two young teams from Sweden would be competing in the final of a World Cup? No one! Times have changed enormously, and teams from North and South America have long since lost their status as favorites. Åhman/Hellvig vs. Hölting Nilsson/...

Re: Combined Arms Units Close Defense?

I agree that combined units have higher close defense than single units. I believe I remember this from the RSF E-file (PG3D). There were two combinations here. 1. StuG III G + Infantry: The close defense of the StuG III G increased from 12 to 15. 2. T-34/76 + Infantry: I don't remember the individu...

Re: CAMPAIGNS: What is in the making - please add/update

Unfortunately, your AAR does not provide any information about prestige. Therefore, my questions are: Is there a prestige cap, and what is the average map and turn prestige? What are the victory bonuses, and are they staggered? Are all units automatically repaired after each scenario? Are there core...
