Allied General Workshop: Realistic PG/AG Battalions?

http://alliedgeneralworkshop.blogspot.com/2010/03/realistic-pg-battalions.html

Who Wants Realistic PG/AG Battalions? If I attempted realistic battalions for PG/AG, I would be deleting units from the standard SSI efile instead of adding units. A realistic battalion efile would have only maybe 10-20 units per country at any given time. The best German armored car in PG (SdKfz 233) was only a platoon in real life. The best Britsh D-Day tank in PG (Firefly) was only a single tank within a platoon in real life. If you want realistic battalions:. Delete the US Sherman tank units after 19...

Prevent Super Core Units. Here is my side of a past forum discussion. Many players complain about unrealistic super units in core (the units that you carry through scenarios in a campaign). Even with alleged low prestige campaigns, some players claim that they can afford 4x-cost Elite replacements and the 5 turns out of battle to make 15-strength units ( overstrength, or OS, makes a unit 11-15 points instead of a full 10 points). However, the combination of truly. How much prestige does the AI get from:.

Allied General Workshop: Terrain Layers

http://alliedgeneralworkshop.blogspot.com/2010/12/terrain-layers.html

A game would need few tiles if it rotated tiles and used a few layers. See the small tile sheet at the end (Update 12/17/10: See the 1-pixel mud/snow screenshots at the end). A single solid white hex (or single pixel) can replace an entire "winter" tile sheet if you layer the 67%-opaque white hex (or pixel) over normal dry tiles (whitening the dry sheet). A single solid brown hex (or single pixel) can replace an entire "mud" tile sheet if you layer the 33%-opaque brown hex (or pixel) over normal dry tiles.

Allied General Workshop: Ship and Flag Icons PG/AG-PGF

http://alliedgeneralworkshop.blogspot.com/2010/05/ship-and-flag-icons-pgag-pgf.html

Ship and Flag Icons PG/AG-PGF. Add custom ship icons and new flags for PG/AG in PG Forever (PGF). Julo and KuK General (McGuba) provide nice ship icons in the standard 60x50 icon size. An automated re-scale of SSI Pacific General (PacG) ships from 182x50 (actual ship lengths not more than 118px) to 60x50 looks OK, not worse than SSI PG ships. Compare 3 60x50 versions of Bismarck. Re-scaled to 60x50 on unspotted sea. 60x50 on unspotted sea (side view). 60x50 on unspotted sea (top view). AGW Efile for PGF.

PG / AG Unit Stats: Initiative. I spliced this off from a prior post and fixed and revised the information. For "Zero-Range" (RA=0) or Capital-Ship duels:. Initiative experience terrain 0-2 "die roll" = who shoots first. There are other special events in the Initiative die roll such as Rugged Defense/Out of the Sun (attacker IN=0) and the TD v. Tank duel. I do not recall any table that listed the exact numbers for experience, terrain, or unit-class modifiers for the "shoot first" formula. What I first th...

Allied General Workshop: September 2006

Pick New PG/AG Campaign Ideas. I consolidated my thoughts with others' recent forum posts (including PG2 forums) about WWII 1930-1945 topics for Panzer General / Allied General. I would like to see a Black Sea campaign that includes the overlooked naval war. Of u-boats, patrol boats, and landing-craft operations.*. An Indian Ocean campaign. Could include Singapore to Syria to South Africa and mix the Imperial Japanese Navy with the Kriegsmarine. A campaign that stays in one battlefield. I generally disli...

HE and Radios for the Red Army. The best excuse for PG/AG's lack of light Soviet artillery is that the lighter guns often direct-fired because much Soviet artillery lacked radios and effective forward control but this does not justify the gaping hole in the Soviet Order of Battle (OB). I am also trying to understand why PG/AG treats so many Soviet direct-fire guns like a 2 Pounder when the 76mm field gun and the BT's 45mm had high-explosive (HE) shells. Vote on the radio idea.

Turn-Based V. Real-Time Games. Turn-based (TB: I go. You go.) systems remain valuable. Real-time (RT) systems can provide more realism in first-person-shooter (FPS) games, from a cartoonish Rambo-style shoot-'em-up to a historical fighterplane simulation. However, RT for games where you control more than one person is problematic. Posted by AGW at 1:54 PM. Panzer General Allied General Wargames. Camo 10k Tank Icons in Minutes. Open General Tile Maps.

Allied General Workshop: Take All Pskov Cities without Loss

http://alliedgeneralworkshop.blogspot.com/2010/07/pskov-ssi-v-pgf-ai.html

Take All Pskov Cities without Loss. Historical Note: WWII Soviet cavalry infiltrated German lines. Pskov: SSI v. PGF AI and How To Take 6 of 6 German Cities/Airfields with No Losses. This post expands on The Curse of Pskov. Where my best in AG-SSI so far was to take 5 of 6 German cities/airfields (4 cities, 2 airfields). Uran21 recently took 6 of 6 in AG-PGF v.1.01 (the 1st to take 6/6 in Pskov? I recently took 6 of 6 in AG-PGF v.1.00 while losing no units. I might be able to take 6 of 6 in SSI now.
