Your greatest victory and worst defeat

I have soo many big wins that I can't even count them, but they were all against low-quality forces. Even when hugely outnumbered, the human player will always beat an AI with tons of low-quality...

Re: About Tactics when assaulting prepared positio

Fixed fortifications are monuments to the stupidity of man.

What I always do is use a lot of smoke. Even in the more modern battles, the enemy is going to have a lot of units with vision...

Re: Level bombers

Level bombers are great in theory but worthless in reality. It takes them four turns to reach their target, and it's very rare to find an enemy soo bunched up and traveling in a long, straight line....

Re: What are your favorite units in the game?

Another good tank is the Merkava 4. The armor is excellent and the Merkava 4B has LAHAT top-attack missiles. An excellent tank.

Re: New Iraq Army Equipment

The Iraq insurgent OOB and the Iraq government OOB need to be separated. Its annoying in PBEM and random battles to fight the insurgents only to see that they've got F-16s, M-60 tanks and FASCAM....

Re: Best way to use airmobile and panzergrenadiers

It wouldn't be a totally gamey thing. The turn limit represents the fact that both sides are going to be exhausted after a while. After an hour of combat, ammunition and troops are going to be used...

Re: Best way to use airmobile and panzergrenadiers

Air drops are the cheapest and safest way to get a lot of troops from point A to point B. It gives you a great deal of flexibility because you can drop them almost anywhere (provided enemy AD isn't...

Re: Best way to use airmobile and panzergrenadiers

Interesting idea about using infantry offensively, C of Red. The only problem is that infantry are soo easy to pin down using artillery or machine guns. And if the infantry get too close, then the...

Re: Muliplayer Campaign Idea with SIngle Man units

Do you mean you're trying to figure out how the whole thing is going to work? The test game looked pretty interesting. I think if you keep it simple it'll work (allow only 2-3 weapons or smoke rounds...

Re: Original new scenario- take a look!

Don't limit yourself to helos. There are plenty of really cool things you can think up for WinSPMBT, like naval battles (load a landing ship with 120mm guns), gang wars, whatever. Even without making...

Re: Best way to use airmobile and panzergrenadiers

A great idea about airmobile use, Pepper. I never thought of using them in the last few turns. Maybe they do have a use after all. But for the most part, if you're playing on any fairly open terrain,...

Re: Original new scenario- take a look!

Thanks, Wulfir. I've had internet issues recently, and I'm not sure if I'll work on another one of these or a 2003 Iraq Thunder Run scenario (both are pretty cool ideas IMO). But if I do make another...

Re: PBEM Game Request Form---comments?

This form could be simplified, but it does seem helpful.

#6 could be changed to read, "What number preferences should be set above or below 100%?" because almost everyone plays with them at 100%....

Should helicopters be artilleryable?

Realisitcally, helicopters would be affected by some types of artillery, particularly if they are landed or getting hit by air-burst rounds. I think that helicopters at low altitude should take...

Re: Need more game

Please email me from now on, I check my email more often than these forums.

I don't know how to pull a map out, but I don't see why I'd need to for this game. Email me whenever you want to start...

Re: Best MBT of the world 2005 (According to SPMBT

Why did you use the T-90 for the Russian test tank? The Chiormy Oriol has better fire control (50) than any other Russian tank (40 at most). You find it under the "Export Tanks" section of the...

Re: Best way to use airmobile and panzergrenadiers

I rarely use infantry in armor battles unless there's a strategic choke point in close terrain. They're soo slow and easy to kill, especially in their expensive APCs. So if you want to know how to...

Re: Improvement proposal I - OP fire draining

We're not talking about swamping a unit with more units than it can kill. We're talking about sending in two jeeps ahead of your heavy tanks to draw all the enemy fire. Realistically, the movement...

Re: Original new scenario- take a look!

Helos are extremely interesting to make one-unit scenarios out of because you can do soo many things with them that you can't do with infantry. Kill tanks, aircraft, fly through cover, transport...

Re: Armor Penetration Model?

I don't know, but it always seemed to me that one inch of steel armor = one armor unit, taking into account armor slant. For example, a steel plate inclined at about 45 degrees is roughly twice as...

Re: Need more game

I have the CD but not the download. Shouldn't be a problem. Let's do slot 5. I already emailed you about the Baghdad map idea. It's a HUGE and wonderful map that comes with the game.

Re: Need information on the Battle of Wadi Al Bati
