Sorry if I wasn't clear enough on the coastal guns converting, I'm glad you figured it out yourself by the end of the episode though. 👍
Couple other little things I've noticed from you and from my campaign so far:
1. The UK company you were wondering why you couldn't get to the Valentine command tank, you have to purchase the War Cry basic ability first. Have to buy the middle ability before you can get the bottom one, similar to the upgrades middle tab having to progress from left to right.
2. The Med Truck ability in the upgrades tab in the campaign section is quite useful as you can get a med truck at no cost other than pop cap right at the start of each battle. It just has a long cooldown time (5 or 6 minutes) so you can't use it constantly, though I usually get a 2nd one used in actual missions but at least even in skirmishes you can have one at the get go.
3. For all fuel and munitions places you capture, (and already have also) you should go and upgrade for the extra fuel and munitions for what little each one costs. You'll get 5 extra fuel and 10 munitions for each upgraded place every 3 turns when you get the supply replenishment. I can barely use enough to not be maxed out every 3 turns now! 🤣
4. This one is more personal choice but I get the whole campaign upgrades section fairly quickly for each company as taking out encampments and non battle settlements and still being able to move and act after in a turn, I find to be a godsend. I also believe (but can't remember for sure) that I have longer movement on the map so might get alittle extra from that perhaps as well.
I haven't found an answer one way or the other yet but it seems to me that paratrooper companies can't have an infantry captain retinue, as even when I have the 250 or so manpower on the map and the skill point available, it still doesn't let me pick it, maybe you or another watcher will figure that out. Either way, loving the series as I watch gameplay while at work at nights and gives me something to pass the time between my hourly patrols, so thanks! 😃
Edit: Oh also, the elite foot troops in the UK armored core company units tab that cost 3 skill points are quite good for taking out armor vehicles, they have 2 bazookas as well as rifles without needing to toggle. They do quit good damage to tanks and still defend themselves well against other infantry, good one to try out perhaps.
I think the battle of Cancello is a good example of why you shouldn't allow the enemy to push through your lines and cap points, if they do you should try and recap the points and eliminate the enemy units as soon as possible to consolidate the frontline and your territory. As shown in the battle if you give them an inch they will take a mile, by allowing them to do so you enable the wound to fester and worsen. A weak foundation can not hold a tower
I would like the next episode sooner rather than later.
Awesome batteling. Enjoying the videos much. Thx!
The abilities you thought you had to level up to get I believe you need to buy the ability above to access.
I don't think you should rely so much on infantry, using tanks more frequently can get you more kills with less manpower lost on the campaign map, also the AT-rifle upgrade is not that great vs medium tanks and above it's mostly for gun trucks and half-tracks. It replaces one of your men's rifle with the AT weapon which reduces their anti-infantry capability, and they can't use the AT rifle unless the squad is stationary
Love your videos and watching them makes me happy and makes my day
Great series. Thank you for the entertainment.
27:43 probably because of the 4 bombardment that received from the Howitzers.
i love to watch how better you're getting with every episode. however, pay attention to the terrain modifiers. indian artillery has red shield, that probably affects the balance of power. try to march them somewhere safer so they don't get attacked on AI's turn in the unfavourable location.
New episode!!!
I feel the passive upgrades, especially for the real time battles, sound very. Very sexy
Thanks
Why do I get a dopamine hit every time he says “let’s go?”
Not sure if it's something you know, I only saw the difference between you and another let's player. You tend to go all the way back to base to select your squads, and I think that leaves you vulnerable to losing men in the meantime. I've seen others who just track who they are training and when they are complete, click the squad icon at the bottom of their screen and use the move or attack + move order to reinforce their positions while having eyes on active combat. Maybe that'd help you prevent those losses and losing track of intense fights?
Yeah it's a bad habit I've been trying to shake!
@@PartyElite All good! Wasn't trying to be critical, just offering thoughts as ya' asked. It's been great fun watching your progress, looking forward to the next in the series!
@@FriendlyFrienby oh ya no worries - you're absolutely right. I was just lamenting the bad habit I've developed haha
I had the same issue in my play through with that German boat at the beginning of the video
Glad it's not just me. Less glad to see another bug!
@@PartyElite yeah, unfortunately I've found a number of those with the campaign map. And I feel like they did a good tutorial for real time battle, but could have done a lot better with campaign tutorial. 15 turns in I'm learning things my companies can do that would have made it way easier from day 1
Should glint the minimap more, your core already in enemy hand for 5 minutes, they are literally walking through the hole in your line. build defence with your engineers, dont just keep saying on learning about your unit, do it. Train your situational awareness, your concentration dntration keep zeroing into the firefight and blind to other parts of the battlefield.
How do i unlock the ability to build emplacement and stuff
I wonder if a P-47 at the airfield would shoot down all those German scout planes?
I think we need longer episodes, one turn per episode is a snails pace
Maybe you can use your boat to help the Partisans
Unfortunately that's got a range limit too!
@@PartyElite What is your bomber's range? Is it in range from the closer airfield? I assume it has a different range than the troop transport?
@@PartyElite And i guess it can't move in range? There were also a ability where you could reset a units movement and action point if i remember, maybe you can use that?
If he had Spinazzola or Toretto airfields he'd be well within range, but alas not quite yet.
@@jasonjohnston6384 Good to know, thank you
Bari is pronounced like bar+y/ee, and not like berry. :)
Otherwise most of it done well. :)
(Me, having not yet Watched Video): "Oh, No...." 😅
The timestamps are missing on this one. It helps to skip some sections
Finished this last night, most underwhelming campaign ending ever. Complete buggy mess
The AI is so poor.
Fail Better!
I haven't played this game yet, but my tactic for any infantry game is to have one unit act as the contact element (they provide vision on the enemy position and just return fire from cover), a second element to flank and overrun the contacted enemy and a third unit which never engages and is used as a reserve element. if the reserve element is ever needed, then that is an indicator that you need to bring up more forces or maneuver toward your defenses. On that note, I would suggest laying down some overlapping machine guns on the path to the HQ, so when pathing toward your medical facilities (even the mobile ones) you have a defensive position which you can fall back into and push back out when you counter attack after falling back. Happy Gaming!
You seem to be spread thin with just three “companies”. Is that typical at this stage? Also, pet peeve they are called “ companies” but I guess they got to stick with their theme.
Yeah I keep having to remind myself to call them companies
I am absolutely spread very thin, yeah - largely because a reward of +10 population cap never came through, so now I'm rushing to Bari to secure some reinforcements.
