<t> Longtime SPWAW fan just getting back in the game after several years away. I finally feel like I´m getting the hang of this game(largely by lurking in this forum) and decided to play something I felt would be a real challenge, a campaign that I was too intimidated to try to play way back when ...

I have yet to see a bunker 'roam around behind me'....[;)]


Goblin

Haven´t you heard? The Pentagon is designing amphibious stealth bunkers!!!

Hey KG, I heard another Marine saying from a USMC friend of mine recently:

"Leave a Marine alone in an empty room with no responsibilities other than three ball-bearings for an hour, and when you come back one will be lost, one will be broken and the third one will be eaten"

no problem, I just assumed that someone with as flippiant a posting and gaming style as TbT would not be big on formalities and could recognize a light-hearted calling out when he saw one. I´ll go and post there now.

Hey guys, mind the 'cultural aspect' in the discussion.

??? Please elaborate. What cultural aspect? <br/>
<br/>
And it´s time for me to start an unofficial poll so I´ll know what to expect: Which tactics are ...

Infantry assaults are where it is at. Use the smoke, flank it, and close assault it. Despite being engineers, engineers do not assault any better than regular infantry, so use whatever you have available if you must eliminate a bunker. <br ...

<t> I´m sorry, I´ll repost this in the opponent wanted forum, there is no real reason for it being here other than I did it on a whim and didn´t realize there was a special forum for this type of thing[:(]<br/>
<br/>
Anyways, if you feel you can´t play no worries, I just felt that since we play a ...

Figure out what their fire arcs are, put a smokescreen in front of it to shield your troops from taking fire, and then.........bypass it.

If it´s a 360 degree HMG nest, this doesn´t work so good, but I just bypass pillboxes all the time.

The offer is on the table, but as I said, I can totally understand if TBT declines due to PBEM troubles.

I just need an answer, and if it is negative, no hard feelings and we can let this thread die.....

<t> To be my first ever PBEM opponent. I want to experience the glory that are Haigh tactics. I will use Guderian tactics myself. I know you´ve had some problems with PBEM games, but if you can straighten out whatever the problem is consider the gauntlet thrown down. <br/>
<br/>
I am willing to ...

<t> I would have recommended a tactical withdrawal of the bulk of the forces until they could have linked up with and presented a unified front with the other element later in the game for a counterattack, covered by a massive smokescreen, but I guess it´s too late for that. <br/>
<br/>
I think at ...

If the best you can manage with "Haigh tactics" is a measly draw against the AI, then you are hopeless.

If I was your commanding officer, I´d be ripping your chevrons off right about now.

Rest in peace, and although I cannot pray for him, I will try to send positive vibes his way....

<t> Mines you place during deploymeny(if you have bought them that is). Artillery and air support must also be purchased before the battle otherwise the button won´t work.<br/>
<br/>
During the game there is an icon in the menu on the right-hand side of the screen of a cloud of dirt exploding ...

Me too, death to communism!!!

<t> Yeah, the Eastern Front was systematically downplayed for political reasons in US highschools from the 1950´s onward. It´s a shame the average western schoolkid never heard abouy Kursk, the largest battle of the war. <br/>
<br/>
Most american kids think D-Day was the largest battle of the war ...

<t> I´m playing "Long long road to victory" and I took Free French and Macquis infiltrators in the first two scenarios to reflect the fact that the Vichy forces in Africa were far from solid in their support of the Axis. A novel unit that really proved it´s worth when backed up by Shermans in the ...

<r> This was the decisive moment: Almost at the same time 3rd platoon, supported by the Maquis and engineers made their move on the left, and 1st platoon breached the defences in the center where Ross had bulldozed through. The Legionaries were now being ejected from the barracks, but not without ...
