LOS and spotting

[evan]

I'm sure that it does even out but that post was a heat of the moment thing after a battle that makes continuing that particular long campaign not worth the effort; and had me tempted to delete the programme and find something better to do. At the moment most of the luck running my way in these games is bad.

evan,

if your luck is bad and you feel that the game is way to hard (you should not feel like deleting a game like this if it feels too hard and difficult for you), instead start by turning all the user preference settings down to 50% or so and see how it goes first.

There used to be a fine Italian Gentleman in the old DOS group, I wish he were still around, he was very good at teaching new people things and coaching them along. It's been a couple of years and I can't remember his call sign, but he was a very nice chap.

Hi Don,
Would you be thinking of Dr. Alessandro Bonnani? I can't remember his handle exactly but I think it rhymes with "banker"<g>

Hi Evan

You may want to think about playing against some humans that are willing to share a little knowledge.
Perhaps you should have a look at

www.theblitz.org

There is a strong SP ladder there that plays PBEM and there is also a mentor programme that can be very helpful when you are at the beginning of your time with the game.

Once you have experienced PBEM, you'll have delved into the full spectrum of what SP CAMO Steel Panthers has to offer.

After all the work that Don and Andy, and all the testers and posters and players,have put into these games over the last 9 years, the AI is now very good.

However, human opponents are on another level.

It's great fun playing the campaigns and scenarios, don't get me wrong, but knowing that you are slowly tearing apart the forces belonging to someone on the other side of the planet is quite a different level of fun.

Just a thought bro.
Cheers
SGT

Warwick,

Yes Wanker something or other.

Thanks!

Has he been around here lately?

Your handle sound familar.

There was also Neuman, Richard, Jon Cassino (taught me how to hide), and Ed M.

Hi Don,
Sorry for the delay in reply, I've been around since 2001 on and off. Do you remember Jerry Sindle? He made some really good posts, also troopie who is still around I think.
