  • Are you wondering how does the game come up with the combat prediction numbers? Why even stronger unit can die in an attack? How does terrain factor into it? Do specialists matter? That and more you can learn in this guide.

    Great explanation! Thank you. Now I understand what's going on. The game itself looks very interesting but in-game tutorial made just to put Tutorial button in interface.

    Extremely informative. You are either an insane editor, or a very focused individual. Your presentation is great. I'd really like a guide about re-op re-(org?), recycling steps, moving specialist between troops and such. I would imagine you'd want to keep every squad alive for xp... but can you "overpower" squads with steps? im really at a loss at what to do with 1-2 step squads

    • @SampstraGames
      @SampstraGames  Před 4 lety

      Thank you so much.
      I haven't looked into that very much. I'll have to think about. You can definitely overpower units with steps but the XP penalty is probably gonna cost you a lot in combat.

      @@SampstraGames one last question! I dont think i remember you covering the topic but, how do you nominally eliminate enemy HQs? They all seem to have a corner they will eventually hide in together creating a 2-3 turn process (RIP my scoreboard) of working through their ZoCs.
      Thank you very much for sharing what you have learned.

    • @SampstraGames
      @SampstraGames  Před 4 lety

      @@CarlTheSpud Yeah. There is not much you can do about it. You just have to be there fast enough to handle the extra turns. The best I can give you is use tanks as they have more movement points.

    Do you know the "odds number formula" the game uses to transform the combat ratio to the end combat number that's in a positive or negative? I understand it until it arrives at the "9:1" ratio that ends up with "6". It loses me there.

    @EmilNick109 Před 4 lety

    Great video. I would like to add an explanation for the use of engineers. Each step of engineers cancels one step of fortification. One is enough for the "shovel", two are needed for the "wall". Also, the probability of a loss to become stranglers is 66% for the Allies and 50% for the Axis. The good thing about stranglers is that you get back the lost steps when they retreat to an HQ (or supply depot with one turn delay), the bad thing is that each strangler step absorbs one action point from the HQ that received it and that can disrupt your plans.

      Btw do you know why in that combat against messina do the defenders get -1 (on the city symbol)? It should be -2 as they are in a city. Someone mentioned it in the comments and I am not sure why. .
