Default Re: The Western Way of War today.

If "for fun" you want to experience "Wunderwaffe" with the latest patch set up big point armour heavy Syrian advance against the Isrealis in say......1992 buy the best armour they had....use a large map ....don't be stingy with the FOO's and put then where they have good LOS, buy a half dozen Pereh NLOS and buy 3 Ordnance Sec and tuck a ammo bunker beside each of the Pereh's. and tuck all those behind a nice solid hill near the back of your side of the map. Keep some ATGM teams in reserve and some Merkavas to protect the Pereh's. and buy three of four coys of infantry to act as speed bumps should the AI actually get tanks onto your side of the map.

Now. that said they are not totally a game changing "Wunderwaffe".They are not nearly as effective against top of the line 21st century armour as they are when dealing with the threat they were designed to counter ( they aren't useless against new armour just not so much " Rods from God".....

Read the guide on how they are used ( now that it's fixed with the 'b' version) then "have fun".
