How many of you lost a conquest battle due to timer limit?

[torpex]

Ive lost a few, really good battles, where I was winning, captured 2 flags, yet....lost when the timer ran out in "heroic" setting.

Id personally like longer times in heroic mode, 1500 instead of the std 1000.

Your strategy probably isnt flawless and you take too much time. I finished several conquests on hard and hardcore and thought that 1000 was already INSANELY long and tedious at times; I lost motivation many times throughout a battle because of how long it was

I use the "3000" Mod.

On the attack the 1000 points is extremely long, but on the defence it's extremely short.
Though they have fixed it a little bit on defence missions by removing the 4th and further back the 5th point.
Back at 5 defence points the game last between 15 to 20 minutes and often you didn't have to protect a single point as the AI couldn't clear the AI defender defending the points in time.
Ignoring the whole prep time where our points still add up.

I work for minimal casualties as a habit, so I use artillery and tanks at long range to soften up the outposts. Notwithstanding, each persons strategy is different, and each has good and bad points. For my methods, which retain the soldiers and build their vetrancy, Id like a bit more time. ))

How many casualties do you get?

On average about 28 infantry in the assault and 11 on the defence.
Though I have been infantry focused last couple of conquests to up my infantry play.

Funnily enough I also prefer the long ranged gameplay.
If you want to speed it up drastically use rocket artillery (heaviest nebel/katyusha/andryusha) those will annihilate everything on the point before you go in.

Could also use the gerat, but that thing is hellishly slow to move up and doesn't give you anything to loot afterwards... but hey, everything is dead.

There's probably a mod to do this in the workshop.
