Re: Russian Tanks

Re: Russian Tanks

Re: Russian Tanks

I sort of agree. It was a big, short term win for Russia, not because it stabilized anything. Attacks on Russians are still happening in the Caucasus. In the long run, it will seriously damage...

Re: Looking for an opponent

500 points won't buy a modern MBT. So you will most surely be using infantry. Those won't be very modern infantry, either. As far as playing capture the flag, the not so Intelligent AI (AAI?...

Re: Looking for an opponent

A lot of new players think that smaller maps and lower force level make the game less complex. Actually, the reverse is true. Like the combat SP emulates, the victor is the one making the fewest...

Re: Looking for an opponent

Re: Getting an air-assault army to work

I sure botched that explanation. Let me suck down another cup of coffee and see if I can post an answer that makes sense. Flying in trail is the key, I just have to figure out how to explain the...

Re: Getting an air-assault army to work

I like to use Air Mobile forces as either a reserve or as commandos. As a reserve, you normally wouldn't commit them until after you have had a chance to locate your opponents AD. As commando's you...

Re: PBEM Ground Rules

I use 'No plotting artillery until first move turn' which has the same effect as Gila's suggestion.[/QUOTE]

Re: PBeM game length (in real time)?

I have a drill that I use to keep track of the plot as much as possible for a game with this many variables. Of course, that makes me vulnerable to OODA looping. I'm pretty predictable for the...

Re: PBeM game length (in real time)?

Re: winspmbt 5.0 ghost wish

Couldn't these be done with the generic red units? IIRC, the red 'country' units use a Standard Soviet OOB. I could be wrong about that, I'm not much of...

Re: Bringing down a concrete bridge.

IIRC, you get your engineer next to the bridge and use the area fire button on the Bridge hex. Not sure if the 'w' key works under those conditions. I seem to remember that it does.
