No fast forward on Operation Blut anymore??

[ScarScream]

So I'm replaying AO 42 and on the last mission, Operation Blut, there is no way to fast forward on the enemy's turn and it takes AGES for a turn to pass. I input the map reveal cheat to see what the hell was going on and whether in normal speed or fast forward the Russians move their units once at at time and it is so long and booooooring...
Any idea why it would do that?

[the eye has it, the eye has it.]

The dev said that the fast forward can be hit or miss depending on the number of variables its having to work with. Its not a simple game like chess, even on the smallest maps, so perhaps the designer's got a lot going on in the background or there's some unique terrain and/or unit combinations?

Yeah probably because no matter what I have tried it's always going one unit at a time..

With units being slowed by heavy snow it makes this mission so long and tedious.. I guess I'm going to be at it for a little while longer LOL.

Thanks for the answer ;)

Are you using the fast forward button recently introduced or holding down the space bar during the AI turn? Have you also tried setting the animations speed to higher in the options menu?

I used the fast forward button at first but since it didn't work I also tried space bar after.
I'm past the mission now so Ill try the animation speed thing if it happens again.

Thank for the answer ;)

SOMETIMES when auto FF fails holding the spacebar will still make the enemy move all the units at once even with a little bit of a delay.

but there are a few scenarios here and there in 1943, 1944 where I noticed neither worked (FF)
