Hey thanks guys.
My kids are older now and I'm getting back into this - I have a new tactics guide underway too.
 

<t> Maciste, I'm guessing you are playing the WWII generated campaign? I've seen your situation a lot, one reason is because generation of that campaign creates small map sizes and thus the density of units is a LOT. I've stopped playing the WWII campaign and now just manually set one up using the c...

<t> So, its been many years since I've been on the forums and I've recently started playing the 2009 Enhanced version. It seems to have a number of improvements that I would expect in the .exe (e.g. better close assault odds) although it was advertised as not having any coding changes.<br/> <br/> So...

Just saw this thread.

On-line play is great and exciting but who has hours to commit at one time? Its just not practicle for many people with other things to do (like my boys, wife, job, house work, etc. ...)

<r><QUOTE><s>[QUOTE]</s><I><s>[i]</s>Originally posted by Randy <e>[/i]</e></I><br/> <B><s>[B]</s>Larry I think the best game for this will be CL.

<t>Does anyone know of a good operational level wargame?<br/> <br/> I mean one that you can strike deep to disrupt your enemies resources, isolating the battlefield then mop up; have airborne insertions for the same effect; need to plan the placement of reserves in advance, etc.<br/> <br/> OAOW is t...

The tracks on the 250 & 251 were 3/4 of the vehicle length not 1/2. The term half track was a slang term and not a technically accurate description.

Additionally, I do not believe that any half-tracks were in WWII. Weren't they all really 3/4 tracks as the Ge 250 & 251 were?

<r><QUOTE><s>[QUOTE]</s><I><s>[i]</s>Originally posted by Figmo <e>[/i]</e></I><br/> <B><s>[B]</s>My favorite is when an "expert" refers to the "Battle of Britain"as the Blitzkrieg. <e>[/B]</e></B><e>[/QUOTE]</e></QUOTE> I do believe that it was refered to as "the blitz" in contempoary speech.

Best discussion of tactics I've read in awhile.

I nominate this for hall of fame!

<t>Any % is only valid over a large number of attempts. That is 50% does not mean if you miss this time, you will hit the next. It takes about 30 tries to become statistically valid. <br/> <br/> I have had cases where I the AIP had certain % chance of hitting me (~30% IIRC) but when I replayed the t...

I have often seen where attackers start entrenched in assault/defend generated scenarios. This makes some sense as the attackers could be jumping off from prepared positions.

Fabio,
Great to have you back again. I have to say that the blue lettering does not show up against the black background when view in Netscape. To read it I have to hightlight the words which turns them white. Does anyone else have this problem?

Bing,
The scenario does not end prematurely. When I set it to a full length of turns, it plays well but I was suspicious of the score hence this small test. This 2 turn test plays out OK but it does not score correctly.

Glad to see that Matrix did well! This bodes well for the future.

<t>To continue with Q3: When in the bombardment window, click on the eye icon for an artillery unit to see its stats. If it says "out of contact" then you can't raise them to send a fire mission. On board arty can be kept in contact by keeping a LOS to the unit calling fire in but there is no way to...

<t>I made a custom scenario, GE & So units, no VH to capture, only some exit VH for GE.<br/> <br/> During testing I set the # turns to 2 and play it without doing anything, no movement, no shooting, no casualities.<br/> <br/> It always shows a draw about 1400 points on ech side and 314 SO casual...

Tankhead, you are back. It was, what May 2001 that we last saw your site? Good to have you back!

<r><QUOTE><s>[QUOTE]</s><I><s>[i]</s>Originally posted by john g <e>[/i]</e></I><br/> <B><s>[B]</s><br/> <br/> Don't forget that if one side has exit vic hexes the other side starts out with .25 times the value of the enemy force as victory points. If you gave the Soviets another .26 times the Germa...

I have a Russian steel scenario to test. Others later next week. Are you still interested? If so send me your email.

Thanks
