RE: Future of game?

<t> I'll buy five (ten even?) more copies of HoS if it'll help get the Pacific theatre here sooner. I think in 30 years of tactical wargaming I've really enjoyed one solitaire physical and one computer game set in the Pacific, and that's not nearly enough. Not that there's anything wrong with the ET...

Saved and read your Ambush AAR during a flight yesterday JD. Very nicely done, and thanks for spending the time on it...sure did make my time in an airplane seem shorter. [:)]

RE: A Few Thoughts...

<t> Has anyone tried this on a MacBook or MacBook Air with Parallels or Bootcamp? I'm in the market for a new portableish computer, and would hate to select one that HoS didn't work well on (Hi. My name is Harv, and I'm addicted to Heroes of Stalingrad). Or maybe one of the new Surface tablets? Have...

Great reading Chelco! And yours also Mark! As someone who struggles to string words into something coherent, I really appreciate the time you put into these for our enjoyment.

RE: Campaign Once Again Into the Fray - SPOILER

<t> I like it. Kinda like the Cthulhu Expansion for Hornet Leader, it adds a different element to something we've seen over and over and over and over...<br/> <br/> I can, and often do, have more than enough seriousness in Real-Life™, so a finding a little detour from "reality" like this in my gamin...

RE: A Few Thoughts...

Aaaaarrrrggggghhhhh. I Hate my Magic Mouse! It keeps randomly seeing a right click as a left and I shoot instead of closing to melee. My kingdom (such as it is) for an actual two button mouse.

Or a second click for shooting. That would work too I guess. [:)]

RE: Combine Half Squads

Hmmm. Page 42, 5. Sequence of Play states half squads can be combined during the rally phase. I wondered this myself as I hadn't seen a way to do it either.

Yet Another Lt Wurtz Topic

On the last move of the first campaign scenario I had the LT and a squad assault the last enemy unit. Both Wurtz and the enemy unit were killed, but I received the German victory screen immediately.

Not than I'm complaining about winning, but I think I should have lost?

Spotting and Passing

<t> Just fired up 1.04 and decided to start a new campaign. Of course I now have an idea of where the enemy might be, so try to spot him in the lower house. The spotting roll is successful, but he isn't spotted. So I'm guessing the enemy counter must be on the board in order to spot him? And if that...

RE: Automatic rally

When using auto I've had units pick up support weapons on their own (I think you get some notification text), but with my short attention span I've forgotten to do various other things during this phase so manual it is.

German Campaign Strangeness

<t> So I was having a helluva time getting past mission 3 (Human Wave) in the German campaign.

<t> Auto rally is not my friend. I had a German leader decide to pick up a Molotov cocktail and lose 2 movement points. I forgot to flip a MG34 from tripod to bipod, and later from bipod to tripod. I failed to shift a MG from a full squad to a half squad like I'd planned to. My attention span is app...
