Re: A.I. Reinforcements?

Has anyone else noticed that AI reinforcement for Editor-generated scenarios tend to sit still on their entry hex?

I often set up a battle where as P1, I'm assaulting AI/P2. To keep the...

Re: Air to Ground Attacks

Some great tactical advice. Thanks guys.

I especially like turning off the bomb loads to use strike aircraft as spotters on the first turn - sneaky!

Re: Feldwebel Schmitz and the Knight\'s Cross

I had a single 76 mm shot from a concrete bunker kill 2 stacked Sherman Vs just last night. I suppose you could look at it as ammo from the first tank cooking off and destroying the closest tank in...

Transferring maps . . .

Given that the game engine is virtually the same, can maps be transfered back and forth between WinMBT and WinSPWW2? i.e. would each game recognize the other's maps?

Thanks.

Re: U.S. Special Forces

There are SEALs in the US Marine OOB. There are Rangers in the US Army OOB. That's it.

I've often thought it's an oversight not to include Green Berets or even Delta.

There are SAS and SBS in...

Enemy locations beyond LOS

Playing a PBEM game with a frequent opponent. On my first turn, I spotted an ammo dump waaaaaaay behind the front lines, well beyond LOS of any of my units (no air secs in this game).

I suppose...

\"Direct draw\" not initializing?

I just reformatted my HD and reinstalled XP Pro, as well as WinMBT, and both the 2.0 and 2.5 patches.

Everytime I try to start the game, I get an error message that "direct draw could not...

Re: Is airpower useful in WinSPMBT?

Generally, I find that strike aircraft, COIN and SEAD aren't worth the investment. My favourite is actually the UAV armed with a hellfire. It pickles off its missle as soon as it appears on the...

Re: Blowing bridges

203mm arty works well . . .

Re: Paratrooper drops… Campaings.

Oops, sorry Don. You're right.

And Pawa -- thanks for the been-there-done-that perspective. I've only done recreational jumps from a Cessna 182, getting out at 10 to 12,000 feet, and only a...

Re: what mix of forces do you use in PBEM?

I generally propose a 10% limit on arty for PBEM games (includes CAS and attack helos). Keeps things balanced, and avoids massively unrealistic arty components (like 20 batteries of 203mm supporting...

Re: Paratrooper drops… Campaings.

My issue with paratroops in either MBT version is the length of the drop-zone.

It seems like a transport will disgorge its troops over an area several kilometers long, as opposed to several...

Unlimited game length?

A couple of times I've been playing a generated battle, set for 25 turns, and at the end of turn 25, it begins turn 26, then 27, 28 etc. The 'game length' changes to 26, 27, 28 with each successive...

Seems that with the likes of Pat Robertson making US foreign policy now ( , all kinds of hypothetical scenarios are possible involving Venezuela.

Re: What Changes in the CD Version

Sorry to be obtuse - but do you mean the ADATS can shoot AFVs in WinMBT? I have to admit that this was a suggestion that carried over from SPMBT, so no, I haven't tried it.

BTW - I used to live...

Re: Aircraft Bomb Effects

I've wondered about that too. SPWAW had more realistic 'splash damage'. Seems like it takes a 2000 pounder to do any kind of damage 50+ yards away . . .

Re: What Changes in the CD Version

One minor OOB suggestion, re: Canada.

The ADATS (Air Defence Anti-Tank System) in the game is AA only (can't be used to shoot tanks, even though in real life they load TOW missiles, I believe). ...
