Bear in mind that the LCV needs to have the strength to carry the leader (based on the leaders rating - DOH!)

However, if you vary the LCV strength based on what it is carrying savvy players will be able to distinguish what is being carried.

ALT-Tab will cycle between current applications.

A second monitor is good too except for a bug in autoscroll which makes it operate even when JTCS does not have focus.

Looks like your install is missing icons1d38.bmp (I know mine is)

Try copying icons1d25.bmp and pasting it calling it icons1d38.bmp

Then re-launch

In the map scenario editor, if you plop one hex over another, it overwrites the first one. At least, that's what I think. I haven't verified.

I misspoke, hexsides only stack if one is a water feature like hexside ...

Similarly, I fired on a unit in a village behind both a low stone wall and a high wall (yes they stack!) and the attack was at 28% (.7*.8*.5 for village.stone wall.high wall)

What you describe for LCGs and HvAI are real issues, but I wonder if there is not a solution that addresses those issues without impacting the H2H game? As you point out the best fix would be to get the AI to move its HQs in support of its units.<br/>

I am pretty sure that the manual is wrong (unless something else is protecting those bastards defending the Salerno landing grounds!)

<t> Perhaps we should think of optional rules simply as ROEs that are enforced by the game system.<br/>

1) As a scenario designer you can model what you desire by setting ammo levels to 100% and recommending players not use the Command and Control option.<br/>
2) The Command Range of an HQ is not a cliff edge, beyond which a unit is completely OOS, rather it is a ...

I think the concept here is that the "high wall" is supposed to block LOS into hexes beyond it but not for units manning it.

P.S. the TEM of a high wall is listed as - in the manual, but it seems to offer a 0.5 in actual use.

<t> <br/>
The counter-assault is an attack on the CRT using the defending units assault strength versus the attackers defence strength. Terrain plays no role. The CRT has no detrimental effects on the attacker. Thus, the defenders counter-assault is a freebie for teh defender with no downside.<br ...

I would simply let your opponent know that the game reported extra saves and ask why that may be.
