COMPANY OF HEROES 3 | EP.07 - THE HOUR OF THE HOWITZER (Italian Campaign - Fearless Let's Play)

[@daltonward2001]

So, i have seen a few different viewers playing this game. The only emplacements that will come under your control are gonna be the coastal guns. The other points further inland will have that broken chain link to signify that they are not getting supplies. you can keep destroying them yourself to gain rewards, but over time they will be destroyed cause there in your territory. Hope this clarifies things, love the videos.

[@Souljaman2006]

The broken link is the emplacements are out of supply and they lose health every turn until they are dead or resupplied.

[@Axzealot]

In my campaign the enemy emplacements did not turn to friendly so its best to destroy them if possible. You can always just bombard, bomb, or sabotage them instead of sending one company at a time. Also the same bug with the population happened to me 😢.

[@Velatus5978]

The also didn't flip for me, but what worked was destroying the supply bunker emblacment or how it's called after that they slowly died on their own.

[@firilockz]

They dont flip, they loose health over time as they run out of supply and eventually get destroyed

[@Axzealot]

@@firilockzyeah but they take too long. If your company passes by they get dmg so best to remove it

[@rinzler85t66]

Best line I’ve heard for a while “ Cool guys walk away from explosions “. 😂

[@denniswiggins3816]

The halftrack near the strongpoint was a mortar carrier. That was the source of some of that incoming artillery.

[@nathanjohnson5304]

Just now catching up on this series. CoH is a great change of pace from the kind of grand strategy games I normally play, really been enjoying your playthrough.

[@vision_is_augmented1213]

IMO I think you can go a good bit slower in the skirmishes and missions. There's no time limit and you have so many tools at your disposal to prepare a well coordinated attack on a given position as opposed to rushing troops in for them to get mowed down and have to immediately retreat - flares, recon planes, smokes, aggressive barrages before rushing, etc. Just a thought. Of course, if a super-fast play style is what you like the best, then have at it, but there's no need to stress when you don't have to, I guess a general would say, heh. Also, in my experience I feel the two most central units in the game is the HMG and the Engineers. HMGs create a base of fire that the entire combat will revolve around and Engineers build defensive structures that can help you shape the battlefield as you see fit. These two troops really help you control the battlefield, which is what I feel the game is all about. Great job! Looking forward to the next vid!

[@malliceuk]

I would like to also see a slower pace of play.

[@dagdriver4412]

Love this series! Please keep it going!

[@Ericshadowblade]

The broken link indicates the encampment is cut off from supplies it was pointed out by the tutorial. Though if there's a supply encampment they wont degrade in health Remember to make use of marching and patrol on companies, especially if you're not planning on using their attack action that turns

[@IIIJG52]

it does cost resources though.

[@truesurvivor5767]

The way I figured out what the broken link was by looking at my troops. In blue it is a box of supplies in corner, move into enemy territory and box becomes a broken link which tutorial says losing supplies. Tutorial also says enemy emplacements will lose supplies when you take over the town and eventually be destroyed. I have had only shore emplacements turn blue (a Bug I believe) but they do not hurt the enemy or help in any way. Just sharing my experience with the game. Your play through is way more aggressive then mine I am really enjoying that content!

[@muhamadhatimmohdbasir3104]

1. You can take your time & not rushing forward. Preserving your troops & upgrade whatever their promotion offers is the way to go. 2. You can upgrade your infantry section weapon, it boosts their damage. 3. Move your unit from cover to cover 4. There’s no need to blob up your troops in capturing points, no matter how many units there, the cap speed is still the same.

[@epencrep]

I've acquired costal guns and anti air when completing certain missions but the other bunkers stick around for a long time however a few did vanish after dozens of turns with the territory under my control. Some useful information on the campaign map the fuel and munitions towns you take can be upgraded to supply more income. Going into a battle the support abilities can be swapped out if you have more than 2 available like ships, airfields, howitzers, or more than 1 company close to the battlefield. Rifle detachment with the encircle ability is key working with another company to prevent having to fight the same group several times. I don't normally use tactical pause by using the spacebar but it can come in clutch when you start getting overwhelmed especially in a few of the later missions. Mortar or artillery is key for most of the more scripted missions without time limits. A few bugs I've encountered like fatal error scan after capturing Bari and making my choice while having the ally team get destroyed on the same turn set me back a few saves but not game ending. Be patient don't start issuing orders at the start of your turn until they are done talking can really cause some bugs. Enjoying the content so far and I just started watching the Rouge Trader series! Keep up all the good work Party!

[@MrSlientdeath]

Tying down/ destroying German troops is more important than capturing Rome.

[@l.o.u.d.]

A bishop, a Sherman, a engineer company. I half track with healing and a sniper. I think that will take care of most of your problems. And maybe extra HMG company or rifle company

[@morgansgames]

Still quite enjoying the videos! You realized the benefit of using scouting flares on your own, a bit late, albiet... ;) Might want to consider picking up the equipment that the enemy and your own troops drop a bit more often. (that first AT gun comes to mind) 😁

[@AveryCloutier]

Great episode, keep up the good work. I think the issue with the checkmark on the objective and the victory screen is just reversed in some instances, or perhaps because the objective was technically still in the fog of war when it was destroyed in the mission it may have caused an issue. Also, during battles I'm pretty sure that if you take a point that gives manpower you can use the engineers to build a resource cache on it and increase your pop cap. Test it to make sure though.

[@darkreves1]

I think the broken link at the top right corner above the enemy emplacements shows that they are not being supplied because they are in your territory.

[@sauceman3462]

Two things: 1. Your play and build patterns have gotten a lot tighter every video I watch, it is obvious you have been practicing outside of this series. Awesome job. 2. I think it is time to increase your video length, we are far enough in the campaign that longer videos are warranted (2 hours).

[@malliceuk]

2 hour videos would be awesome

[@IIIJG52]

@@malliceuk it would be waaay too much time to sink into this every couple days. I would 150% fall behind on it.

[@flaviuspoa]

Please use your ship to attack the enemy ship and also recover a little! Don't let your self to lose it in a surprise attack!

[@andrew-philippetch3786]

Only the shore battlements turn to blue no other encampments turn blue.

[@esorevikofficial]

Man, that last battle was ROUGH

[@kony12356]

the most british thing i have ever seen let send in the gurkas to explore evrything before the bunker

[@sounakchatterjer4158]

Took this world war back by a few decades with all that shelling.Nice.

[@chiruliviu5945]

Cant you unlock passives when your troops rank up ?

[@flaviuspoa]

Hey there! You are missing the lvl up before battles! You should be always on your best! Also you can choose support with veterancy! Look for the stars on top of it.

[@ianlim3560]

Dont push your only tank into unknown zone

[@Apocalypse31]

I'm liking the Campaign-layer, but it feels more like a counter-insurgency campaign than something from WW2. The COH battles are the same-old. Nothing new there, unfortunately. Thanks for the time and effort with the videos. It's been enjoyable watching.

[@denniswiggins3816]

Pretty sure the broken link implies out of supply.

[@FANVONROHEDS]

is this an early beta version of the game?? I'm playing the same campaign and I already had one bug that made it impossible to continue. but don't worry i have a smartphone ;)

[@Layo81]

BARRI not Barry lol

[@KaKrassh]

if you have at least two engineer units your tanks should be easier to repair and keep alive .

[@stile8686]

Enjoying your fight. Coincidentally Extra History are doing a series on the same campaign as it played out in real life right now. It's interesting comparing their comments on the campaign with those in the game, particularly the "disagreements" between the two allied commanders. thought you might find it interesting too. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYvLopebjpWJmLM

[@michailshatkus9250]

The game looks verybintrsting but the bugs and the fact that Even PE can't explain the mechanic of the game is red flag. Especially the UI that does not explaine anything. I hope you had fun,but the game is clearly is to raw for release.
