Good suggestion. It is these kinds of minor improvements that, over time, have made this game progressively better.

Great game, but there is always room for improvement though.

https://ibb.co/88L3yXk https://ibb.co/pJsvvRK It seems there has been a very good point made in this thread. In this example, the first player has close access to 9 TCs (north of map) the second player has close access to 5 TCs (south of map) Any other ideas/opinions about the importance of game ba...

Brainstorm time... Having two settings, perhaps 6 or 7 turns of day followed by 3 or 4 turns of night might hake for some interesting strategy. Much reduced line of sight for most units could allow people to sneak up on others during the night. Specialist night units or night variants of regular uni...

Good points. As mentioned above, T-34/76 and Pz4 are very different tanks. However. all things considered, they are roughly equal in combat effectiveness. So it would be interesting if they had clear relative strengths and weaknesses, such as the idea mentioned above (Pz4 having better sight to comp...

Played the tutorial a few weeks ago. Was disappointed by the lack of historical accuracy of stats. While I understand the game is not HOI or extremely accurate, it seemed like it was so far off that it was a bit of a joke. For example, the Soviet tanks, the BT and KV... While the BT was a spectaular...

Or..alternatively, taking into account practicality, orientation alone without these other suggestions might be a good variation which could, as you say, be toggled on or off according to the wishes of the player.

Fair point about the programming.

Point taken about luck. Though if game length is at all significant, it should usually even out and work out to be reasonably fair.

Totally agree about unit (such as battalion) scale and individual tank scale. The tank orientation idea would only make sense on the individual scale. Not when representing a large group of tanks. However, the smaller scale (with orientation, and probably longer ranges, and maybe lower movement valu...

ammo limits could make things interesting one day if it can be done. This should affect some units a lot more than others. Sturm Tiger would not like this rule coming in, but it might be a good balance for its outrageous firepower. Most regular tank models would be able to operate with far more flex...

Good idea. Perhaps this idea could lead to a possible other option...The capture and repair, not destruction, of immobilized tanks by the other side. This way you might be able to have a T-34 or Sherman on your side occasionally as the German, or a Panzer 4 or a Panther on your side as the Russian o...

Chance of immobilisation is much better than certainly of being slowed down.

More realistic
More uncertainty
More fun

Probably impractical to program, but... It might make things much more interesting if a tank was given an orientation. In other words, the direction in which it is facing matters....a lot Maybe a small dot or outline could be placed in one of the 4 corners of the square the tank is placed, or one of...

Rather than having a health bar above tanks which is reduced by a little or a lot with each hit depending on the firepower of the gun hitting the tank and the tanks armour, it might be more accurate and fun to have a varying chance of instant destruction with each hit. For example, if a light tank i...

This might work with infantry able to move 1 or 2 spaces (perhaps 2 spaces at the expense of not taking a shot for the turn...Ie;sprinting<cannot be done on consecutive turns>) per turn

I am probably too late but.. Tanks should usually beat Infantry Infantry should usually beat AT guns AT guns should sometimes beat tanks (or at least have a chance against them and be much cheaper than them) Like rocks papers scissors. AT guns should have camouflage ability to some extent Infantry c...

Here is what I think. All infantry and amored cars like the halftrack have a range of 3, except for the mg gunner which has 4 and decreased moving speed as a result Mortar infantry should have range of 5 All tanks except heavy tanks should have a range of 3, and the heavy tank should have a range o...

Oldie but a goodie.

Good ideas

My thinking on tanks... Historically: 1940: French/British (Somua, Char B, Matilda 2) tanks on paper, slightly superior or on a par with Germans in hard quality and quantity. Char B, Matilda extremely strong armour (Germany had no equivalent heavily protected tanks) So, armour rating for some tanks ...
