Re: Questions of a Newbie

I presume that the last question was referring to the support points used for purchasing auxiliary assets in campaigns, and not to the experience.

Re: Questions of a Newbie

1.) In my first scenario (of 200 battle camapign Germany) those Poles have already amazing amounts of troops - do they receive reinforcements - can I kill all the troops?

In the campaign game...

Re: Ost Inf Question

For some interesting scenario potential, check out what happened to the "Russian Liberation Army" in spring 1945:

Re: Ost Inf Question

The term "Ost" (= east) refers to the origins of the men who fought in these formations: they were recruited from amongst the population of the occupied eastern regions (Baltic states, Byelorussia,...

Re: point tally

As far as I know, it is simply a case of:

Victory points = [value of objective hexes held] + [purchase cost of destroyed enemy units] + [damage value of damaged enemy units]

Re: Counter-Battery Process?

This is a bit difficult to comment on without knowing the specifics, like which 122 mm and 155 mm tubes are in question? There are a number of different guns of those calibers available, with varying...

Re: Some Questions From A New Purchaser

Those numbers in the right hand column indicate the delay for artillery. The first number indicates the number of your own turns until the bombardment commences. In case of zero, it indicates that...

Re: Will Japanese soldiers fight to the end?

As far as I am aware, Japanese are affected by suppression the same way as everyone else.

However, they usually tend to have high morale scores.

Re: question about campaign...

Got to agree about the transports. They are very handy for meeting encounters where both sides are advancing, but on many other scenarios they can easily end up just providing extra targets for the...

Re: Mines, Dragonteeth and Wire, Oh My!

Would there be much of practical benefit for such?

Personally, I have found it much more beneficial to deploy obstacles well in depth, rather than trying to cram a lot of them in a single hex. For...

Re: What is wrong with RPGs?

One big advantage of the RPG-7 in the Soviet OOB is that it is available in great numbers, with almost every infantry squad packing one. And on top of that you can have also scout squads with them...

Re: What is wrong with RPGs?

Not only twice as accurate, but also twice as likely to penetrate the armour. And the penetrating hits are twice as likely to actually brew up the affected vehicle. And if the enemy is actually...

Re: What is wrong with RPGs?

I think this might be a case of the observer bias - weapons always seem more effective when fired by the enemy than when fired by your own troops.

Re: What is wrong with RPGs?

I would say that RPG-2 and RPG-7 as crew-served, reloadable anti-tank rocket launchers are conceptually closer to the humble US bazooka (which BTW was supplied to the USSR in small numbers as part of...

Re: distance for company CO and the battalion CO

I would actually recommend not placing anything else too near on-map arty either, since they tend to attract their fair share of counter-battery fire. Exception being ammo carriers, and possible...

Re: Reassigning units

I'll admit that this is slightly annoying feature. So far I have managed to work around it by trying to first purchase those units that might receive units from other platoons, and then those...

Re: An annoying game "feature"

Perhaps not all that ridiculous with the AGLs - having a bunch of 40 mm grenades going up at a relatively close range might make you pull your head a bit lower to avoid shrapnel.

(That said, I...

Re: What is wrong with RPGs?

If we are talking about the classic RPG-7, it might be worth keeping in mind the historical framework. In the early 60's when it was taken into use, it would pose a threat to most of the armour in...

Re: Egypt sandbag HMG pit with NVG circa 1957

When I was doing my military service, we usually had quite a good access to tracer rounds of various calibers. Being in the air defense artillery might have had something to do with that - tracers...

Re: 25 pdr price question

Off-board artillery units are not able to replenish ammunition during a battle. However, they usually...

Re: 25 pdr price question

Are we talking about on-board of off-board assets?

On a quick glance at the encyclopedia, off-board troop of 25 pounders (4 guns) costs 171 points, while off-board battery of 105 mm howitzers...

Re: Egypt sandbag HMG pit with NVG circa 1957

Then there is also the usage of tracer ammunition. Not that it really helps with spotting the enemy, but at least you get an idea where the rounds are hitting home. And they look impressive, which...

Re: Best infantry. 1940s post WW2

I must admit that I am not very wild about those 2 man inf-AT teams, at least in campaign games. While their small size makes them difficult to spot, once they come under fire (direct or indirect)...
