Order 227 bug
Hey everyone

I'm playing mission 5 : Stalingrad and the following missions, and there seems to be a bug or a glitch : even though they're telling me order 227 is in effect, nothing happens if I retreat my units back to base !
Is there something specific you're supposed to do ? Or an option to set ?

Order 227 is historically accurate and is portrayed in a lot of movies about WWII, so it not working in the game kinda ruins the fun for me...

Any help is welcome !

There's a commissar unit standing near the base and he will shoot retreating troops from time to time with his pistol. He won't be killing all of them.

meh even if it did work it is really easy to avoid as long as you keep moveing your guys

they have to be still for the commissar to walk up to them and shoot them otherwise he slowly walks around the base angrly

But my commissar doesn't do anything ! He just stands there ! He's not walking around, or shooting or anything !
I don't get it, is there an option or something ?

I used to barbwire the Commisar when I played the Campaign ages back
Now if only Soviet troops thought of doing this during WW2 the Soviet army wouldnt be known for excecuting its own men

Why you want to kill your own men so badly? The campaign is getting to you huh.

Extra challenge.As soon as you find out that order 227 doesnt actually work the campaign becomes even easier.

Fino > exactly.

Also, it looks like they added this game feature about order 227, and how you can call in recruits easily and at no cost but then you can't retreat them or they will be shot.
All of this kinda seems pointless if the commissar doesn't shoot retreating units.

And like Fino said, it makes the game too easy.

Order 227 is feature in the movie Enemy at the Gates, and in the 1st Call Of Duty game ; in this game, when you go back towards the commissar, he actually shoots at you ! Way funnier. Also, it feels more Russian or something, the whole "shooting your own troops" thing.

Hey everyone, just a quick update.

I'm still playing the game and now Ardennes Assault too. Everything works fine, but the Order 227 feature still doesn't work...

It's just the game kinda makes a big deal about it, announcing "Order 227 is in effect" in a ominous tone, displaying a big fat bar, and - at least in my case- even having the guy himself present and shouting things like "you have betrayed the Rodina !", and then when you actually violate it, when they're supposed to punish you, nothing happens. Talk about an anticlimax.

Also I liked the idea... it's not that I want to kill my own troops, it's just that I thought it would have balanced things a little bit, added a bit of a challenge. You would've had this handy option of calling a squad of soldier for no cost, but then you couldn't use the retreat function for a while. Seems like a fair trade.

It's not like the SU campaign have any challenges in the first place, you literally spawn in free units even if the commisar is working properly. The AI announces enemy counter attacks which can be stopped with a single demo and the german defenders usually just stand in position and wait for you to slaughter them

so you want your troops to be killed
waow

Same here; I retreat my men because they are elite and I don't want to lose them, and yet NKVD officer isn't shooting them like he is supposed to.

That's because the Germans in the last several missions are supposed to be defending, NOT attacking, just like in real life.
