Default Re: Newbie Here, with a few newbie Questions.

Hello

First. I know you're only reference is WaW but forget WaW. WinSPWW2 and WinSPMBT are entirely different variations on Steel Panthers.

Point 1] WHICH tank and WHICH Grenade launcher ?? If you are speaking of the same tanks you refer to in your point 2 as "My weak tanks have no top armour" then that's your answer. No top armour but I can only guess which ones you mean without a save game

Point 2] I would really have to see a save game to comment further. Check your preferences. You may have inadvertently set your troop quality to a low number. When I set up a test game in August 1931 with NatChi tanks the armour command ratings are generally in the 60's

Point 3] It's there but the formation's set up to appear in 1936. Typo error. Should be 1930. Change formation 27 in the NatChi OOB ( 27 ) to a start date of 1/30

Point 4] "area fire" into the hex's before entering. Hit the area with mortars before moving forward. Select more open maps until you gain more experience with the game

Point 5] Only unit commanders and Artillery observers and the HQ unit can call arty. Look for the "0" units ( B0, C0 D0 etc etc ). The Chinese do not have very good artillery delays that early in the war. Nobody really does in the early 1930's. You will find by the early 1940's those delay numbers will be nearly 1/2 what they are in 1931. If you look at the Japanese for the same time period you will discover that they aren't much better in that era but they also improve once you enter the 1940s
