IIRC, AT% is the positive effect the terrain has on anti-tank defense strength, and AP% for anti-personnel defense strength.

<t> Playing Overlord44 as Allies against the German PO (3.1.9.4 on Win10), SitRep reports on, extreme FoW on.<br/>
<br/>
I have most of my air set on interdiction for most turns, and I've been tracking German losses by checking the SitRep text files after each turn. I've seen that German units are ...

Looks like it's time for another "newbie" training camp? In the interim, I'd be happy to play a PBEM game with someone and share what I've learned over the years. IIRC, the one I was in used "Two Weeks In Normandy" and "Road to Rimini" as learning experiences. Is General Staff still around?

<t> I understand this is jumping into the deep end of the pool... <br/>
<br/>
I'm trying to fix an event problem in Autumn Fog 44 (WWII - West Front), mostly as a learning exercise.<br/>
<br/>
The designer's intention was pretty clear: <br/>
- Starting on T52, the German player gets 11 TOs to ...

Thanks for the info. Not complaining, and enjoying the solitaire game play immensely. I just figured, in my ignorance, I had missed something fundamental, like a Withdraw Unit menu option somewhere.

<r> OK, I get told (like back on T40) that the Panzers are needed in the East. OK, being a good German, I follow my orders.<br/>
<br/>
By T48, I've disengaged them all, have them rested and resupplied, and have them sitting in cities with good rail connections to my east-edge supply points.<br ...

<t> A final point on the airfield attacks -- Elmer is raiding airfields at night, but only with his night fighters.<br/>
<br/>
The nit about garrison mode AA units is that, for the Rhine bridge-protection units, once they're bombed and "dug out" there's no way to put them back into a defending ...

<t> Thanks for the feedback, all. <br/>
<br/>
Yes, Elmer's aggressiveness varies game to game (I've restarted AF several times from Turn 14 and seen very different behaviors, maybe weather-releated, maybe Elmer's strategic objectives?).<br/>
<br/>
Yes, Elmer's early and heavy attacks on ...

<t> I'm playing AF44 as Axis against Elmer in TOAW 3.4, and am wondering whether others get some use out of the Luftwaffe when it arrives around T15.<br/>
<br/>
I've now watched Elmer annihilate them with airbase attacks in a couple of turns every game. I've tried putting everything (even FBs) on ...

OK, arty units directly assigned to an attack (full strength, full supply cost) shows up as "attacks" in both the .txt SitRep file and combat results dialog window.

Supporting units (half strength, half supply) show up in both places as "supports the attack".

<r> A follow-up newbie question on this topic -- is there any way to tell from the combat reports (screen or Sit-Rep txt file) whether the supporting arty was assigned to the combat or "just" contributing in TR or dug-in mode? I'm trying to figure out how Elmer-as-Axis gets so many rounds AND such ...

Browsing thru this forum (which I don't usually do), I've noticed a couple of references (MarGol here), sefirot in (<URL url="http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=1576374"><LINK_TEXT text="tm.asp?m=1576374">http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=1576374</LINK_TEXT ...

<t> Don't know if Ralph's looking into it, or even if it's worth looking into.&nbsp; A coding error that causes the loss of a parent-reference sure sounds like something that would have turned up way earlier in the test cycle, so I'm willing to write this off as "file corruption during email ...

jamiam,

See the GameSquad New Player Workshop forum thread on PBEM issues under the Axis Players private sub-forum for more info on Rick's original problem at the top of this thread.

<r> I'm "the opponent" Rick refers to above, and had a similar problem with the replay of his first turn. During my replay of his first turn, the screen went blank (possibly after I touched my mouse in an inappropriate way) and the replay ended; when I tried to restart the replay, the appl exited. I ...

<t> These 2 behaviors are probably not intentional, are repeatable across the two machines (HP desktop, ThinkPad labtop) I use for game-play which do not share HW but do share WinXP-Pro-SP2 as the OS, and are common across all scenarios I've been playing since upgrading to the TOAW 3.2.29.26 beta ...

Now there's nugget for the newbies... [&o] ...thank you, Gen. Lemay...

Thanks for the confirmation...see you on the Road to Rimini sometime next week?

<t> Assuming that forcing a river crossing against entrenched defenders is (in real life) a significant tactical challenge...<br/>
<br/>
I'm confused about whether to place defenders ON a river line, or behind it.<br/>
<br/>
The TOAW-III manual says:<br/>

"13.9.6 Unit Strengths in Water ...

Does the loss setting of the mover/attacker influence the odds of the defender experiencing an RBC?
