Re: Best stand-off weapon for...

I find a liberal application of mortars tend to work well, with some heavier guns to cause kills.

Its hard to find a good balance between converging the barrage (higher suppression and more chance...

Re: Anybody good at dessert fighting

The infantry ATGM teams are usually hard to spot and pretty cheap on points, compared to modern MBT's.

Re: Start Lines

yeah, you tend to get a wave of tanks, followed by a wave of foot sloggers later.

Though the AI is very fond of tank riders so its not too bad. Good reason to strafe the tanks with some Vickers...

How much does your core change over a campaign?

Do you start out with the formations you want and then just upgrade to new tanks?

Do you start small and expand?

How often do you upgrade units? As soon as available or do you wait a bit?

Shrapnel titles that will run under Linux (wine) ?

I know Dominion 3 will work natively on linux, and I have had great success running WinSPWW2 and MBT under wine.

Anyone have experience with other Shrapnel titles? I am very eager for some good,...

Linux install?

The website mentions that this will run under linux. Does the disc come with an installer on it, or are there significant hoops to jump through ?

Thanks in advance!

Played scenario 2. Stonne

Pretty fun scenario, though rather tense, as the French armour tries to actually spot the Germans.
As the French you get a pretty overwhelming advantage, but most of your infantry is far off to the...

Re: Scouting/Recon

yeah, the infiltration is one of the things I did like. Ditto for the option where units start with a few men missing and not at full ammo.

Generally though, winSPWW2 and MBT has them beat...

Re: A Few Questions

yeah, modern warfare is crazy. Infantry can knock out tanks a kilometer away with impunity. Takes a whole different type of tactics :)

Re: Lewis gun higher accuracy than Bren?

They could be extra guns retained at higher command levels and parcelled out (I believe the British did this with bren guns) as well as some enterprising grunts acquiring extra guns from elsewhere...

Does not repairing units reduce the points total?

If you have units you do not, or cannot, repair/replace after a battle, does this factor in to the points total, the AI will base its forces on?

Re: Lewis gun higher accuracy than Bren?

at least fiddling the machine gun is a step up from pulling out a revolver and taking pot shots at the other guy :)

Re: small campaign. German paratroops

As it turned out, I overdid it on the arty and got flooded by polish guys. They managed to sneak a good bunch of cavalry past me in the woods and wreak havoc on the guns.

small campaign. German paratroops

After playing a lot of large battles, I am going to go back to small, quick battles for a while.

So for that purpose, a German Fallschirmjager company will be my core force.

Re: Lewis gun higher accuracy than Bren?

Hah. Your right :)

I guess part of it is that Steel Panthers kind of tries to do everything from reinforced battalion down to a company of guys.

Re: Dealing with the Infantry Peril

Machine guns, like mortars and ATG are teams. So the crew are considered bunched together and occasional hits (esp direct fire hits) will kill extra over and above what riflemen would have received....

Re: Observations from my current german campaign

Fighting the British in 1940 is almost a bit of a breather. Though they buy far more artillery than I was anticipating. My poor guys are taking a LOT of 25 pdr shells inbound.

Re: Lewis gun higher accuracy than Bren?

It's an ACCURACY rating that's why it deals with ACCURACY and not "other factors" as you specifically asked why it had a ....."1 higher Accuracy than the Bren gun".
