Very interesting stuff guys, thanks again
I was always perplexed by the amount of tanks with "skirts" and never realized the game took any kinds of armour into account...cool

<t> I've always thought that armoured skirts were those big side plates you can see very clearly attached to the hull armour (or sometimes to the turrets) of German tanks like the Pz IV J & H or the Stug G & IV but many other tanks like the various T 34 models and shermans also have them in ...

I have had the same thing happen to me. Got no help from matrix staff and their written up fix never&nbsp;worked. Damn pain in the neck that my original name and email is still being used by another member....... ME

<t> I'm pretty sure alby is correct, I havn't seen any other size 1 vehicles in the enhanced oobs. There are&nbsp;quite a few&nbsp;other odd sized units though, mainly AA guns or transport style units with&nbsp;various weapons&nbsp;or guns attached that probably date way back. I had ...

<t> I can't get my platoons (as part of company) to be rallied by their own company HQ's or platoon leaders&nbsp;via radio if outside of three hexes. These units should be in chain of command when in contact via radio but&nbsp;I only ever see the actual&nbsp;unit leaders name come up as ...

<t> Hello<br/> Ive been playing for quite a few years now but have never really grasped the importance of radios in the game. I can't ever get my company commanders to rally the troops via radio if they are in contact but still outside of the 3 hex zone, so what exactly do they do ? <br/> I only pla...

<t> Damn it, I'm cut off from command  [&:]<br/> Thanx for the help but i still can't get in. I'm posting from home and have tried different browsers etc, without success. If your all definate that the site is up i'll bug my ISP guys again and see what they say.<br/> I was wondering if there is ...

Is the depot homepage still up & running @ www.spwaw.com ?
Ive been unable to access it for days (keeps timing out). My ISP providers were no help

<r> I've been reading lots about the PTO recently since someone here posted an excellent site about the Iwo Jima landings (gutsy reading) and i came across this huge write up on Okinawa called "The last Battle". It looks like a whole book posted online with plenty of great reading and photos. Enjoy<...

<t> My mother is Finnish and comes from a large family that moved to Australia after the War. None of her six brothers and sisters knew anything about what my Grandfather went through during the Continuation war. He kept that side of his life completly private from the next generation and told no on...

<t> Hey this wish list looks almost exactly like my own [;)]. I have bought up some of these topics here.<br/> I'd add op fire against unloading units and loading/movement penalties especially for heavy guns (ala WW2).<br/> Slightly smarter op fire routines ( so your recon doesn't shoot at tanks whe...

<t> I would have thought that setting up and lugging heavy equipment over rough terrain in combat would slow you down eventually more than a man carrying a rifle and pack. I suppose the Marines and Rangers were trained to do it but I doubt all other nations had such a demanding training regime and f...

Hey my neat table is all messed up &nbsp;[:@]

<t> Here are some comparisons between the tanks and a bodgy calculating system that just adds height length and width of the vehicles to get a dodgy mass figure (Physics ain't my strong point)<br/> <br/> Clash of the Heavyweights<br/> <br/> Vehicle and weight Height Width Length<br/> <br/> IS-2 tank...

<t> Why all the propaganda about Enhanced oobs and Michael Wood. I'm not attacking Mike, the Enhanced oobs (which i actually like) or anything else. You can repeat all that other nonsense over and over as many times as you like but it doesn't relate to or answer my question.<br/> <br/> Anyway I thou...

<t> I was wondering why the IS 2 tank is calculated at 5 while other major nation heavies Tiger1/Panther, Centurion and Pershing are 4. Its weight and width are more or less equal to the others and its height and profile is actually the lowest of the five but it does seem to be a very long tank at 9...

"What are we doing in a wargame site ... baby " ?

<t> Its hard to say how much an FO should cost exactly but i would think its equipment and abillity to call in fire support quickly would make it cost&nbsp; slightly more than a scout for example but the conventions don't factor this in.<br/> I actually like the new pricing in all other areas wi...

<t> Which units are getting their prices adjusted ?<br/> I find that units with indirect fire capabilities and the Forward observers are too cheap now because the new pricing structure doesn't seem to take this sort of stuff into account and justs rates them in comparison to other guns (AT etc), whi...

<t> I agree, Its actually a clever use of propaganda to emphasize the power of their tanks to the rest of the world. I think sometimes photos of destroyed Polish positions were acredited to the panzers when it actually looks more like German artillery was the real culprit. This is just a theory thou...
