Re: An unimportant question for the Gods of SPMBT

My father-in-law drove an ammo truck in Korea. He's passed on now but from what I recall and the pictures we have I'm not sure that he even carried a sidearm. If things got hot his plan was to run...

Re: suggestion for the distant future

Breakdowns and getting bogged down by unsuitable terrain are great ways to throw in some randomness to the game. I'm as frustrated as anyone else when a tank ace sinks up to his hull in mud, but it...

Bug? Not really... Bunker phantom fire

I've noticed this before but haven't seen it mentioned on the forum. Also, quick search didn't find anything related.

Re: Graphic mod. What do you think about this ?

Those icons sure take me back to another time. Many a summer afternoon was spent with those cardboard counters. Almost makes me want to go and dig those games out of the closet where they have not...

Re: Rough Speeds.

For a modern example, as a firefighter I recently drove our rescue unit in full emergency response mode on a paved road through our city during a period of very light traffic. Top speed never...

Re: Tactics and Correct use of Scouts ?

Because my scout units tend to vaporize at first contact with the enemy, I have changed my way of using them. I no longer probe the enemy positions with them, but instead I find a good vantage point...

DRG - take a bow

I was going to PM this but since you're not accepting PM's I'll have to say this here in the forum. Thank you Don for this game. I don't get to play it as often as I would like to, but every day...

Re: LOS and spotting

In the old version (I have yet to see it happen in the new Win version) my most vexing spotting issue was to sit in the same hex as an AT gun and still not see it, even after it had been visible a...

Re: Ex SPII player - observations so far

I am, by nature, a very cautious commander so I can see why you have a problem with scenarios ending too early. Many times I have had to hold back from that final victory hex because I have spent...

Re: How does Cover work?

Cover seems to be diminished by firing from different angles. The source code wizards would have to address this more specifically, but I make it a practice to engage enemy infantry with multiple...

Smoke dischargers

What triggers a vehicle to pop smoke? If this is covered somewhere in the manual, forgive me as I was not able to find it. Sometimes a non-penetrating hit will cause defensive smoke, other times a...

Re: Star shells and artificial moonlight

Thanks gentlemen. So it would seem that there are some reasonable workarounds, which I always suspected. One only needs to know where to ask the questions!!

Star shells and artificial moonlight

Is there any way to model the use of star shells or 'Monty's Moonlight' (bouncing searchlights off of low cloud at night) which illuminate specific areas? It is possible to decrease visibility using...

Knocking out AT and AA guns

I have been doing some unscientific testing to see if a crewed gun can be knocked out with a direct hit on the gun itself. So far I have seen guns destroyed by tank fire, inf fire and artillery, but...

They won\'t stay bailed out!

My Opel truck took some mortar fragments and became immobilized. No big deal, as I left them to their own devices to try and correct their situation and hopefully get mobile. Now the Canadians are...

Re: They won\'t stay bailed out!

Yes, they do have some suppression, even though it has been 6 or 8 turns since they were last fired upon. It is frustrating since the tank crew that really needs to mount up right now doesn't, but...

Re: While you\'re at it...

Starmyth,

Luckily the lead-lined undies are almost unnecessary, as the breeding opportunities decrease as monitor exposure time increases!
