	Help for a new WW2 scenario Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

Hi to everyone.
I'm making a WW2 scenario; it doesn't pretend to be an outstanding one (like Red Front or Battle of Bulge), just a nice and humble hack'n slash scenario. I'm wandering if a collection of tips and concepts exists. I'd like to find an explanation of concepts like "Fuel" (Gotterdammer, Battle of Bulge), "Fortify" (in Gotterdammer motorized units cannot fortify, but create a fortress terrain instead) and so on. Any help would be much appreciated.
B.T.W How can I create a working anti-tank gun?

Thanks in avance for your help

IMO, you can't
Use combined arms formations instead (ie, battalions which included infantry, machine guns, mortars and AT guns).

I've read that the X2 bonus vs. horses works only against units with 1 HP (and probably with a movement factor of exactly 2). I'm testing it, but I don't think I can make a balanced scenario with tanks with only 1 HP . Actually the AT gun in Red Front was intended as an offensive weapon.
Thanks anyway

If you use max move 2 units how long does the scenario last if you go from one side of the map to the other side.

Even you can use higher roadmovement multipliers (for instance 1/10) to compensate the movement problem, another following problem will not solved.
AI attack units will attack even the remaining movementpoints are 1/10, that means the attack factor is ridiculous. If you allow railroads experienced players, I have seen specialists building a 20 square RR (within Wartime!! 1000 km in reality) to the Capital of the enemy within 1 turn and make a rush

You should create units the "AI" can also handle.

Not so much, but slow units aren't funny

Do you know which kind of units the AI can't handle? I've noticed that a Torpedo Bomber doesn't work (the AI trys to bomb cities instead of ships).

I think the best AI solution is using a airunit with sub and rocket flags.

the sub flag prevents this unit from being used against land units. The rocket flag allows AI to attack every possible target within range from every city even this unit is not positioned in the nearest city to this target.
The rockets "warps" from every city to target and attacks.

Nice idea; I'll make some test. Thanks a lot for help

he used settler units for tanks but forbid you to improve terrain or build new cities via 'house rule'.

Actually I guessed it, but I thought that it was only possible to have settlers in the first 2 unit spots

I thought it was possible to disable some menu options via game.txt: am I wrong?
