Re: Strategy for taking out big AT guns

AT guns in this game should have a life expectancy right up there with gazelles at a lion convention. smoke 'em and shell 'em. i never buy them against a human player because they are fragile,...

Re: WINSPWW2 Sub-Tactical?

Chuck,

All I had was from the library and that was some time ago and my aging memory fails.

However from "Dirty Litle Secrets of WWII" (Dunnigan and Nofi, not a bad little read incidentally):

Re: How about ammo trucks?

Putting ammo units in your core is a good way to give the AI a little "boost" in its purchase points. As ammo units become more experienced their "value" (base cost adjusted for experience)...

Re: Order of setup

I know what you mean. Could this possibly be handled by a "save" option on the repair screen? I.e. make all your core changes, save then proceed. If one encountered a battle they didn't like (e.g....

Re: WINSPWW2 Sub-Tactical?

Sorry this response took so long Nick. I was referring to multiple infantry UNITS in the same hex. I realize larger squads take more casualties than small ones, all other things equal.

Aircraft Strafing

Hiya all,

I was wondering why strafing aircraft seem to have minimal effect (causalty wise) on infantry. I checked the weapons stats in mobhack and found the aircraft class (11) .50 MG had the...

Re: Changing starting rank of A0 in long campaigns

Sorry this took so long. People expect me to actually WORK instead of fooling around with SPWW2. Your hint worked like a champ with one caveat. The scenario editor evidently "doesn't know" about a...

Re: Command & Control question

OK tried it and clicking on the subordinate platoons works fine, any platoon can be re-assigned. Thanks. Looks to be a "display issue" more than anything else.

Re: Command & Control question

Re: WINSPWW2 Sub-Tactical?

I tried something like this a while back (DOS ver). I built "fire teams" of 3-4 men so that SP "platoons" really represented squads of (usually) 3 fire teams or maybe 2 FTs and a 3 man MG team. SP...

Re: Infantry Casualties at 50m

superb analysis...IMHO infantry lethality, particularly at shorter ranges, has always (i.e. even the DOS version) been WAY over the top. the whole move close, get massacred, bounce without shooting...
