Hello,

The outline color (gold, black, silver) does NOT matter in any way when it comes to upgrade. The outline simply indicates if the victory point is Major, Secondary, or Regular.

Big cities = capitals. Find a factory, those will work fine too. Or Reinforcement Tile.

No, having it a captured unit will not matter.

All captured units are made core units because until recently, you could NOT upgrade captured equipment, and therefore anything you'd capture would be lost. This kinda suck if you wanna keep a T-34 or a KV-1 as a core unit! What if you don't want it? Just disband it :)

This could be changed now that I have implemented a way to upgrade captured equipment.

You did not complete anything at all after playing 2 maps. I do not know how you started the campaign, but unless you started the campaign through the CAMPAIGN MENU, it won't lead you anywhere. You need to play the campaign through the campaign menu in order to have the possibility to go from one scenario to the next etc. When completing a campaign scenario, you will find one or 2 buttons at the top left of your screen indicating which scenario you have access to next, clicking on either will load the next scenario.

Hi thanks for that, I saw the error I made about cities and the colours. If there a way to make the upgrade locations and types more clear?

I have not seen where there is any option to disband a unit, would you mind clarifying this part.

The campaign that I started lasted for 2 scenarios then no more, I could not see any button to continue a campaign. I'll try to reproduce it if I can.

Good evening,

Not really, the game tells you where each unit can be upgraded already. By playing the game a little you will quickly be able to tell where you can and where you cannot. Keep in mind that you can and should use the 'hide all units' button (H - shortcut) to have a better clarity of the map. You also can and should use the 'show tiles types' button to show the size of each urban tile.

You can disband units by either doing so through the Order of Battle, each unit slot has a delete button, or by selecting a unit on the map and simply pressing 'delete' on your keyboard (the DEL key)

What date was this? If it was 1945, would not be a surprise, the game ends in 1945

Except you, nobody said anything about campaigns ending early so I'll take it as you're not experienced with the game yet

Good Afternoon Valentin,

Thanks for those details! This game is addictive :)

I'm still looking for information about where I can upgrade a unit, the manual reads

"Note :- The unit you want to upgrade needs to be on the appropriate tile (the same tile where you can deploy it)." from page 22.

The deployment of units only happens on the reinforcement tile, while the upgrading of units occurs at various cities around the map. I'm able to upgrade many units like infantry but not artillery. I do have the tile display info turned on, showing me things like the income per turn etc in the top left of screen. is this the 'show tiles types' button or is that another option?

My next theory is that certain tile have the appearance of a city but are actually harbours, this might have been the issue all along. If that is the case then I have learnt by playing the game like you said. Also confusing is the units that cannot be fully upgraded but can be partially upgraded in certain towns.
