Re: Tactics, Time and Steel Panthers

Also the 60mm mortar is really only good for suppression not killing. Also the AI will frequently attempt counter-battery on them so even if they don't hit a thing they reduce the AIs indirect fire...

Re: Greece vs Turkey 2020-2021

1) USA already has access to stuff with HE instead of AT weaponry

Re: Foxhole Mod for Steel Panthers WWII

APCalc is not a "live" programme - it does a snapshot of the saved OOB file and so knows you are working on say OB 007 so doesent reload it unless you manually change OOB and subsequently reload OB...

Re: NEW!!----November 2, 2023 mini game update SPMBT V17.5a

No, we will simply abandon all this work that we have spent all this time on, and go off and do something completely different instead....

Re: Game Options

Of course it's there!

Re: Omaha Beach - Scen #9

Re: Omaha Beach - Scen #9

Big buildings use a particular larger graphic that is removed if the "key hex" is destroyed. Then the big building graphic goes away and is replaced by a 1 hex rubble graphic as with any other bult...

I have a vague memory of sometimes seeing the junk like forever, but taking no notice of it as it never affected game play - and I usually play on green maps, and also - never any really huge...

Re: Omaha Beach - Scen #9

No point in investigating the 2 games, one will do since it is highly likely to be the same problem since the base code is the same. So investigating the 2 games at the same point would just be...

Re: Omaha Beach - Scen #9

Re: AI doesn't buy/deploy mines and obstacles

If your original CD is that old then it is very likely to be pointing at the old /program files/... installation path.
