Generated Campaign question.

I'm generating a June 1941 campaign game on the Russian Front but the force size generated gives Purchase Points close to 5,000. That is too large of a force to suit me.

Is there some way for me...

Making Counterbattery Fire Happen.

I'm trying to figure this out. How do I use counterbattery fire against enemy artillery batteries?

Thanks.

Re: Defeated at Halfaya Pass.

Aye, that's the one. Scen 33.

I have tried to keep moving off road in order to avoid the British artillery, but, my efforts are ineffective.

I'll have to learn more about Counter Battery fire....

Thanks! No, I have no questions about the randomly generated campaigns right now. I have been doing all of my playing with the scenarios vs. the AI. It is tough to win Decisive against the AI. The...

Re: DAR: Germany 25 Missions

This is interesting stuff and well written.

Which campaign is this? I'd like to try it. A campaign featuring Panzergruppe Guderian interests me.

Re: Detailed examples of Pen/Arm combat calculations

Yes, that's indeed a calculator. I thought it was a chart. Now I realize that the device makes several thousand runs through the AP code for each and every time I select a new weapon, I understand...

Camo Workshop updates to the game.

I'm new to the game. Well, I bought the original Steel Panthers when it was released so long ago, so, I'm not completely new. But, I neither bought nor played SP II or SP III. I can't recall why.

Re: Detailed examples of Pen/Arm combat calculations

Defeated at Halfaya Pass.

I can't figure out how to beat the UK AI with my Germans. It's the UK artillery. It finds and smashes my infantry and their transports. Even if it move them around, they get smashed!

There are not...

I just realized that the printed manual that comes with the game is less comprehensive than the version on-line.

Re: Detailed examples of Pen/Arm combat calculations

No, it's 14. I re read the text file and a value of 141mm at zero deg equals a game Arm value of 14. If the value was 145mm we round up to a game Arm value of 15.

Re: Detailed examples of Pen/Arm combat calculations

Andy, the "edit" function isn't working for me today, so, I've had to use new messages instead of edits.

After we use the Arm Calc to figure out that our Armor value is 141mm at O deg slope, is...

Here's what I figured out so far: the British...

Re: Detailed examples of Pen/Arm combat calculations

The Calculator chart has a category called "best HE" next to the "HE" column. Can you tell us about that?

I know from some text docs in the game that a shot will Penetrate the Armor if the shot's...

Andy, thanks for your time. I have looked at the calculator that came with the CD version of the game that I just bought.

Map Scrolling in Window Mode.

Map Scrolling in Window Mode, for me anyway, is confined to the Arrow keys. The mouse is not able to scroll the map.

Funny, because when I play in Fullscreen mode, the mouse can scroll the map.
