<t> I'm sorry, but is something going on here that I don't understand? Off-taste innuendos?<br/>
<br/>
I have 2 emails, one Hotmail and one through my local cable internet provider. The one for the forum is the Hotmail. I don't post that much, but it seems a bit silly to make another account ...

<t> Well, I've been thinking about something lately. What is the exact scale of SPWAW? I read somewhere 50 meters a hex, but that seems way too big. I know a tank, which take up about half a hex, isn't 75 feet long, but the infantry seem too bunched together to be realistic. Is it just a game thing ...

<t> Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you set the opposing forces points to XXX in preferences, don't they automatically get only as many points as you spend?<br/>
<br/>
Because I just started a 50 battle campaign (long I know, but I thought it would be cool) and used about 750 points, and it seems ...

<t> Dear Lord, imagine if I tried playing Gunny today. It'd be a massacre.<br/>
<br/>
Basically my tactics involve (and this is in the Western Front, mostly) rushing every single one of my units forward under cover of mortars and hoping for the best.<br/>
<br/>
I'm sure I'll get better ...

So that means KG Erwin won?

Oh, I hate that too. A hard grinding battle, one side finally breaks through, and just as you're about to finish them off . . .

DRAW

Excellent descriptions, Goblin. Definitely makes us feel like a part of the action. But I do have a question: is it KG Erwin against Afrika Korps, or against you?

Wow. I'm amazed that some of you don't naturally speak English. In fact, this is one of the most literate forums I've ever been part of. No usage of "u" and "ur", people capitalizing correctly. It's a breath of fresh air compared to 99.5% of the "intarweb".

Wow, this is some good stuff. It doesn't look like Hill 217 is quite in the action yet, but mark my words . . .

I should really start doing PBEM once I get the hang of the game. I'm actually getting draws instead of crushing defeats now against the computer.

I've got a nasty feeling Hill 217 is going to be a hard grind. Just a feeling.

This looks like it's going to be a battle for the ages, although I'm not really a fan of the North Africa setting, I'm more of a Normandy/Bastogne kind of guy.

I know it's not a good idea to put up pictures now, but possibly after the battle?

Yes, yes, YES. I've played enough Wild Bill scenarios to know he is a genius. Although Pacific Theater isn't really my thing, you know I'll still eat this stuff up.

<t> Game fixed. I ended up renistalling, but somehow all my downloaded campaigns and save games were still there [&:]<br/>
<br/>
But hey, I'm not complaining. Thanks for your help, I'm sure you'll be seeing me around the forums more. (And if I get my hot little hands on Korsun Pocket, I'll be ...

Oh well. I suppose I'll simply reinstall the game, it's not that big of a deal.

<t> Well, after checking into the New Forum members thread and finding out how to install campaigns, I downloaded the Das Reich campaign and unzipped it into the Campaigns folder, as per instruction.<br/>
<br/>
I start up SPWaW. It gets through the two starting clips showing the developers name ...

<t> Hello, everyone. I'm new here (as you can see from my post count) and I'm just getting into wargaming. I'm eating everything I can up about it; hell, I'm even buying a copy of the original Squad Leader board game!<br/>
<br/>
So yeah, as a newbie, I have a couple questions.<br/>
<br/>
1. How ...
