Gaining fatigure in bftb have to be considered as one serious realistic improovement ..The regeneration - is just one tragical act.

Units laying unconcious in forests for 30 hours + ... no verbal contact

Sim,

Appreciate this basics class, but as said:

So I think this was the ´most wanted´ since COTA.
I found gaining faigture as high flyer, when it comes to realistics. mud.. dense woods, with some good slopes - must be exhausting. And Im glad that it is.
It is the regeneration that is a mickey-mouse here.

True. Just not a new discovery for me. The big part of the gaining faigture greatness is the faigture increese in night advances.

You seem to dont trust my management. Ok, just to know that I do not used to just run on "none" rest. Its not lways a maraton

An F1 sugestion.. Hm Ok, intresting... I didnt noticed F1 before.. ..Or did I?
But good gues again. I Agree with that simovich.

Whenever possible . Try to do that as Wehrmacht in "Assault on the Sauer" fo example, and let me know how far did you go..

quote:

"Dave" is just a one man, and not only one that has expierience in the army. But i understand this is his fairytale, and he is the one drawing.. Thats why my post was directed particulary for him.

You have to know Simovich, - "30+" was stated to make the post more spicey (nevertheless Ive actually have encoutered not one of such examples - taking more then basics needed for a proper rest to occure - so there are also some huge glitches running)

I think, that the regeneration issue is a loud case allready, and I am not the one only bothered by this. In fact i remember Dave "Arujna" admited somewhere, that this is indeed the case to take a closer look up.
My post is a reminder.

I think this is exackly whad I had in mind when writing:

quote:

( -10C -20C -30C!.. German lack of winter clothing /as for a constant fatigue/regeneration lack/

So again agree. Faigture also have psychological faces.

I thank you for your post. I know the hand was made to be helpfull. Appreciate..
And sorry, I didnt resisted to answer some of them, despite that Ive felt, that their are not addressed for me.

Edit:
Somehow = 2 posts (request for administration to correct)

-Still feel there needs to be an "run to save your life" exception to fatigue in a short term scenarios like these (preventing an infantry unit from getting pinned down in an open field 150 yards shy of cover because they are "fatigued" by incoming artillery). Though this issue (even if it is not fixed) shouldn't prevent anyone from buying the best tactical/operational simulation ever offered to the gaming public.

The plan at the moment is to get the game compiling under VS2010, then release a second patch for BFTB followed by the HTTR expansion pack ( for which you'll have to pay ). As to a delux version we haven't considered it as yet...not sure it's worth doing.

You'll be glad to know that the issues with Visual Studio 2010 has been solved.

We will now be getting on with solving the last few issues we want to fix for the patch.
