Re: Body Armor for Infantry?

I'm pretty sure the coding for infantry units won't do much to help you there. The only thing I can suggest is increasing the toughness of Infantry for one side (or both) in the preferences. At max...

Re: "Enjoy the War."

I can at least catch the gist of it, though my German is pretty poor to non-existent ;) Its a really cool AAR though, thank you for sharing it!

I do like big fights but the problem with them is...

Re: HD combat in Syria

True, but its better than -not- having the infantry around at all! I'm pretty sure their T-72's are not the latest and greatest, and all buttoned up like that they're going to see even less in an...

Re: "Enjoy the War."

I may take you up on that offer at some point! As it stands, I find that I can win most battles but the real challenge to me is preserving my forces from battle to battle, rather than winning...

Re: HD combat in Syria

Arab armies in general seem to have fairly poor combined arms training. That or whatever training they did have fell apart as the civil war expanded. Either way, I'm pretty sure those T-72's are...

Re: "Enjoy the War."

Thats very much how I look at it. Its also partially a problem of how to represent a division that was effectively destroyed by early 1944 without just throwing a fight. Same problem how you play...

Re: HD combat in Syria

I saw these a few months ago, and it really is a fascinating look at urban combat with tanks. They seem so potent and yet so vulnerable.

Notice how the Syrian infantry don't seem too eager to...

Re: WinSP MBT: Das Reich

Hallo hallo Monty. Was always curious about this project (as I have attempted similar things on my own with no real knowledge or talent for .shp editing!) and I was curious if this was still going...

That is entirely too cool, shame I'm stuck on the NA side of the pond.

Re: ATG Icons - massive update

Pretty freaking cool! I don't have time to install and try these out yet, but its on the to do list. Every little bit helps with a game this old, Mario :)

Re: Assault guns vs. tanks

Yeah you definitely need better crew experience. Which can be hard to get as the Soviets unless you have a handle on their quirks (I cannot say that I entirely do).

Its much easier with a longer...

As I said in my intro post, thank you for all your hard work on a game that by all rights should have passed into total obscurity if not for your strenuous efforts. If anyone is deserving of a rest...

Re: Assault guns vs. tanks

Absolutely! A common tactic for me when I'm doing assaults or advances is to not buy a truck company for the Pioniers and just pile them onto the StuG's to ride them until just before the point of...

Re: Removing mines

The only units that remove mines when facing a hex filled with them are engineering units. Any infantry units that remove mines will have to be inside the hex I believe? Anyone more knowledgeable...

Re: "Enjoy the War."

So I thought I'd recount the war journal for "SS-Germania" up till the Russian campaign.

We fought three battles in Poland, one at the Polish border, one outside Krakow and one inside the ancient...

Re: "Enjoy the War."

Truthfully I usually modify the turn count to be no more than thirty. Both for time reasons and also because I feel that anything past that with such a large force is going to just allow the A.I. to...

Re: Assault guns vs. tanks

Hence why I tend to pair them with my pioniers as either a reserve force or as the spearhead for an assault. I don't tend to use StuG's as a regular combat unit until they recieve the L/43 guns...

Re: "Enjoy the War."

Thanks! Haha, I've been accused of much worse, so I'll take it. Its a running complaint in my mind that I can't add a Recce and AT company as well as everything else into the core. I don't think...

Re: Assault guns vs. tanks

I've had that problem when I played Soviets as well. Its similar to the German's problem with the Ausf A and B StuG's which don't even have machineguns!

My big debate with my current campaign...

Re: Assault guns vs. tanks

I've yet to play much past 1943 so we'll see if I feel the same as you do later on. Certainly from 1941 through 1942 the StuG is pretty sturdy and as long as the ammo holds out it can deal with most...

I was away from my desktop at the time so I could not recall if there was a size difference or not, so thank you for confirming that. I also didn't know that about spotting but it makes sense. ...

Re: Assault guns vs. tanks

Depends on which ones you mean. The Soviet ISU/SU series are only middling due to their large caliber guns, they're mostly meant for breakthrough attacks against infantry. They'll smash most German...

Re: "Enjoy the War."

Finally into July now. The fighting around Smolensk has been quite tough, mostly due to some AFV losses suffered during the fighting in Eastern Poland. None of the Panzer companies are heavily...

Re: Assault guns vs. tanks

As far as I can remember, the main mechanical differences in the game are that turretless AFV's are less likely to perform op-fire if flanked compared to turreted vehicles. They are also generally...

Re: Version 8.0 German OOB
