Re: Long Generated Campaign US v Communist

The front is strangely quiet. Friendly Pershing tanks moved forward from their emplacments and destroyed 3 more enemy T-34's from close range, about 500 meters. Engineers from AX platoon have moved...

Re: Long Generated Campaign US v Communist

Thanks. I'm trying to find a balance between too much and too little detail, so that it will be entertaining. I want to make it understandable so that everyone can visualize the overall tactical...

Re: Long Generated Campaign US v Communist

Reports from the front lines indicate that all enemy armor on the Southern fringe of the battle have been destroyed. M45 Pershing CS tanks are moving forward from their dug-in positions, around the...

Re: Long Generated Campaign US v Communist

So far the US line is holding, although two more American tanks had to pull back and seek cover after a Chinese armored thrust. The Mongol Cavalry filtering in behind the Chinese vehicles approached...

Re: Long Generated Campaign US v Communist

Expected mass infantry attack did not materialize. Instead, mass of t-34/85 did materialize. Uh oh! Classic failure to apply Sun Tzu's advice to "know your enemy." I didn't check the Chinese...

Re: Long Generated Campaign US v Communist

I finished up the above battle last night, with good reason it turns out. The enemy counter-attack fizzled out as 3 of the 5 attacking tanks lost their nerve and fled. I was able to kill the two...

Long Generated Campaign US v Communist

I played a long generated campaign with Israel v. Arabs (Egypt, Syria, PLO) from ~1948 to 1978 (30 years war?) and decided to try US v. Communist (Russia, China, N. Vietnam) from ~1949 to present to...

Re: Adding jet aircraft as air OP units.

I've tried that in the game. Sometimes it works OK. Meaning, they spot some units and don't get shot down all the time. And if you keep them back near your lines to minimize flak, they don't...

M132 Video

I stumbled across this video with a demo of the M113-mounted flamethower. Says the maximum range was 170 meters (3 hexes), although that doesn't always equal effective range. Interesting...

Re: Link for USMC Aircraft/Helo Weapons

With regard to the Osprey belly-mount minigun, see the following:

Pre-designated target hexes and helo AOP

I understand that the unit class 204 light helo functions as an artillery observer. Does it count for purposes of calculating the number of pre-designated target hexes assigned for artillery, as do...

Re: Ossetian War Scenario - Info + Help Request

I think ignoring 12 mortars of that size would be more significant than adding the 2nd tube that's part of a single unit in the game. I don't think the game effect of the extra tube would be...

Re: Ossetian War Scenario - Info + Help Request

Looking good so far. Nice work on the scaling. Did you leave out the 120mm mortar from the Georgian side arty on purpose, or was that an oversight?

Re: Repair vehicle and units

They were intended to be air dropable.

Re: Repair vehicle and units

I was not aware of the "compromise." I did a little checking after reading your posts. It appears a Chinook can carry 13.5 tons on it's main hook, and included in the text is its ability to carry...

Re: Repair vehicle and units

I have several heavy transport helos in my core. They can lift many vehicles, even MBT's. Rather than bail out the crew, once the AA threat is gone, I use them to take immobilized vehicles into the...

Re: Is it possible

Thanks, Imp. I meant the latter. I had moved onto gray squares before with no effect. Didn't realize the units go away if you leave them there.

Re: Some random thoughts

I've been playing a REALLY long campaign as the Iraelis v. Syria, Egypt, and the PLO. 200 battles from 1948 to 2020. I'm currently in May '77. It's been a very interesting and learning experience....

Re: Is it possible

How do you make one of your own units retreat off the map?

Re: CEV's and Dragons teeth

Shouldn't the flails or rollers provide the same extra protection from HEAT rounds? IIRC, the Israeli Merkava has chains dangling from the turret overhang specifically to provide protection from HEAT...

Re: VPs

I understand the "lemmings" theory as well, and in many "real" cases, destruction of the enemy force is the objective. But as Wdll points out, it makes for strange games sometimes. In "real"...

Re: VPs

Would it be very difficult to add code in the end that would multiply the (1 to 255) VP values by a set factor based on force size when calculating game end points?
