Infantry...who needs 'em?

Xrati · #1 June 10th, 2009, 10:27 AM

If you'd like, I can purchase a force for your game, or maybe someone with better Russian force knowledge could purchase a force for your game. Are you in a campaign or scenario/single game mode. You can zip the game file and email it to me and let me know what type of force you'd like to play against and I'll purchase the forces for the AI and return the zip to you. I could place them too if you'd like. Your choice.

Xrati's offer is your best alternative.
You might think it sounds complicated but really, it isn't.

...and eventually you will master the game to the extent that when facing the AI you will play all infantry forces and say:
"Tanks, who need's em?"

If you play games set up by another player, your battles will be less predictable...

Thank you very much for the offer Xrati. If I can figure out how to do it I may take you up on the offer but I play quite a bit and wouldn't want to put you out. I appreciate the thought though.
Kudos to you

The other option is to play PBEM against other players. It takes a small bit of learning to get started, but is rather rewarding. Now, you would need to find an opponent that plays with a realistic force, but the way you described it, they couldn't get more unrealistic than the AI.

It's easy to do Joe. Just go to your 'Save' folder and zip/copy the SpSvXXX.dat and .cmt files. The XXX would be the number of the slot the save game is in. If it is saved in the #5 slot it would be SpSv005.dat. If you can't zip it just attach the two files to an email. The file of an unplayed game will be about 1mb. Ok, just remember that once the AI forces are deployed the game will start. So make sure you have your forces deployed before you save the file.

OPEN OFFER
If anyone else would like me to do a force setup just PM me and I'll give you my email to send the game files.

PS. Wouldn't mind trying a PBEM game with someone who's more willing to 'teach' then 'play' for the first time game(for me).
