Game Mechanics: Making the Other Side Blind
« on: June 13, 2025, 10:16:57 AM »
Hello,

Could you please clarify a few points about how AH works.

Each morning it seems a particular squad bombs the country they want to attack in such a way that their radar does not work for all their bases,
i.e. makes the defender nearly 100% blind to their attacks.

1. What exactly are they bombing\taking out?

2. What do I need to resupply to fix this?


I am not complaining about the game or that a squad takes advantage of their overwhelming numbers at a certain time-span.

I just want to know how this works and how can be most effective in fixing it.


Thank you,

Slade

They are taking out the HQ. It has a base downtime of only 5 minutes, but that can be prolonged massively by hitting the city first.
HQ can be resupplied as usual by M3, C47, SdKfz or LVT
Steam: DrKalv
E:D Snailman

In November 2025, Lusche will return for a 20th anniversary tour. Get your tickets now!

Sounds like something Hitech needs to address. :rock

Thank you.

There are dot commands. You can also hover your mouse cursor over any icon and get a quick status or right click for more options.
Back in 2022 after a loooooong break from 2010. Old name Ratpack, same for the BBS.

Squad I did the most tours with were the Excaliburs then The 172nd Rabid Dogs. Still trying to talk Illigaf, Coola, Oldman22, and Joecrow into coming back instead of being boring old farts!
