Re: Scenario 4. Egyptian armor - Six Day War

Heh-heh. Pretty much my own results several years ago. Might've preserved a tank or some infantry cowering behind a dune or in a shell crater. It was a matter of trading armor and soldiers for time...

Re: Ts4EVER scenarios

Yo Ts. Already played what are now scenarios #526 and 527 (Counter Attack at Dawn and Into the Valley of Death). Both are rip-roaring defensive battles which test a player's skill in adapting to...

Re: Number of active players

That's heartwarming, but would you ever consider playing it again? Especially given that a five-turn company-sized action could take half a dozen hours (or more) to play solitaire.

Re: Number of active players

What I can't understand is why people keep playing venerable yet antiquated wargames like Advanced Squad Leader or Panzer in which players must make all calculations, determinations, cross-references...

Re: Artillery settings

My understanding is that arty overload was added to penalize players or scenario designers who rely excessively on indirect fire to paralyze opposing infantry in (mostly) defensive battles or meeting...

Re: Flight Path Bug?

Same here, ditto WW2. Not much if any effect on gameplay though it can be disconcerting for verisimilitude freaks.

Re: Flak issue

Probably true, but then battles would last much longer. Who wants to spend hours of real time playing out "realistic" platoon or company engagements lasting maybe 100 turns or more? And never mind...

Re: Snowdrifts

For winter scenarios the importance of maintaining vehicle mobility (including tanks) is magnified. Which is why any off-road movement should be carefully plotted in advance.

Re: AA Defense

Feels good doesn't it? Nothing like challenging scenarios to bring out the best in a player regardless of experience.

Had a gander at Mack's videos. Seems he benefited from your advice and got a...

Re: Mines!, IEDs, Booby Traps, and other nasty things

Just noticed in a WW2 LC scenario a booby trap can't be fired at (at least by a British pioneer with an SMG and .303 Bren). It's on a road that cuts through mud and rough so rather annoying. Aside...

Re: AA Defense

A bit OT but it's interesting that Vietnam has difficulty winning this. Usually when the AI attacks (here as China) it hurls itself willy-nilly upon the foe without regard for casualties. And since...

Re: AA Defense

There's no way "to conduct a proper AA defense" beyond making sure your AA assets are in decent defensive terrain (or dug in) with clear lines of fire to all directions above your units while being...

Re: Odd Platoon Arty Spotting

Many thanks Scorpio. That explains everything since the "0" leaders of those platoons were indeed killed earlier as their squads were wiped out. Yet another mystery solved. Cheers!

Odd Platoon Arty Spotting

In a current LC battle some of my platoons use squads other than the platoon leader's for arty spotting. In this save note that squads K2, L1, M2, P3, R3, V1 and AF1 can call in or shift fire...

Stream Setup

What happens if you start a generated (campaign) battle with units deployed in streams? Will they be able to move out normally or will they be stuck for the rest of the scenario? Thanks (and sorry...

Re: LOS and Z fire under v12

BANG! Just kidding.

Actually my experience with v12 is that z-fire through non-blocking terrain is as before, effectively unlimited within constraints of relative elevation and weapons range. IOW...

Re: WinSPWW2 V12 ( 2019 ) Upgrade

Ach, this discussion has been going on for years, if not decades. For a relatively recent thread (2016) on this topic check the link below.

Yes, the new rule will make it more difficult to attack,...

Re: Will Japanese soldiers fight to the end?

Thanks guys. Forgot to mention this was a delay battle (since corrected) and was already arty overloaded at 17% force value with a 43-point penalty. Still, I'd been overloaded in previous defensive...
