A0 can be on transport CZ99. If it can be fired at by an AI unit preferentially it will. This is not apparent normally but...

Re: Adventures in Campaign Building by a Beginner

2) Once you buy the initial units for the scenario it becomes at best tedious that you do not alter the number of formations after the fact.

After initial testing you might decide that this side...

Re: Assault Question

As far as I know, you are right.
The AI uses a relative number (depending on battle-type) to the points you REALLY SPENT.



And I would never NEVER complain about a "Marginal Victory"...if you...

Re: Air Strike PriorityTarget - Crews

Re: Should tank crews be better armed?

I believe the generally agreed on usage of Crews is to pop smoke and run away. Seriously, this issue is dead dead dead dead du------dead. 15 years and counting. Not changing.

Re: Should tank crews be better armed?

Long standing question... the short answer is no. If they were better armed they would be units with a Cost > 0. You would have players abandoning Mortars and using the crews as weapons. You would...

Re: Hit percentage rant

The expensive ones have Range Finders and Fire Control ratings of around 10 or higher. Better scopes, better barrels, bipods, etc. Personally, if I use snipers at all I use the very expensive ones.

Re: Treebursts

AFAIK it is not modeled. However, the trees will nicely catch fire and suppress anything in the hex. Which is why I have rule #42 when playing SPMBT... Thou shalt not put crewed unmovable equipment...

Re: Hit percentage rant

Repeating... the numbers shown are not the real numbers. At least not for infantry fire against other infantry from what I've seen.

If it says 1% for a tank firing the main gun then yeah 1%. Ditto...

Re: Hit percentage rant

I think she was referring to the tendency of PBEM players to splatter the area where the gunshot came from with Z-Fire and artillery.

Honestly, the number shown when targeting is not the actual percentage it is a close approximation. It also only shows the chances for Weapon 1. Which...

Re: Wind Direction

From repeated testing it looks direction is variable based on each run. So you can play the same scenario repeatedly and each time direction will be determined randomly.

Re: The "Z" direct fire key - are they even trying

Same thing happens when trying to fire smoke btw. When firing at an actual target rounds always land within 1 hex. I think they do it just to make things harder.
