<t> Hello MartNick,<br/>
<br/>
I Think I can help you. Long time ago I posted some scenario's like 'Operation Overlord', 'Hell's Highway'and some others. I the meantime I've made new HUGE (I mean real H U G E) scenarios like 'Herbstnebel' (Battle for the Bulge), 'Operation Market Garden' and ...

<t> I feared so. Thanks for reply anyway. Much work to do!<br/>
<br/>
By the way, if visibility is completely editable, what is the extra value of day versus night. The only thing I can think about is the use of starshells. <br/>
With visibility ´1´ during night a starshell has effect, whereas ...

<t> First of all: many thanks for the update.<br/>
<br/>
During the last view years, I have developped some scenario's with dynamic visibility (and also dynamic ground-conditions and conditional supply). The correct values of these items were obtained during play by changing the .btl-file at the ...

<t> Wow,<br/>
<br/>
What a vivid discussion on this hot item! I like the idea of 'elastic time turn' and use it in effect by the development of H U G E scenario's.<br/>
Beside variable (or dynamic) visabilty, I also apply variable ground conditions (dry, wet, mud, snow) and variable supply. <br ...

<r> I am normally using a 5 year old machine with 2Ghz and 1 GB RAM. When playing against AI, the machine's turn can go very, very slowely and it takes a considerable amount of time before the computer has finished its turn. Especially the total consumption of all truck-unit movement point, one at ...

I usually start with a small new map (40 x 40) in the map-editor and extend it with help of the resize-button.<br/>

The display of hexes on the monitor depends on the choosen resolution; a larger monitor is not needed to display ...

For DCG scenarios, I don't know, but as a 'lover' of huge scenario's I can tell you the following:<br/>
<br/>
1. 500 x 500 hexes is very well possible<br/>
2. In developing scenario's I experienced that the maximum width is 500 hexes. The maximum heigth is 'unknown ...

<t> Hello folkes,<br/>
<br/>
The forum seems to show some rivival again! Good to see. Thought it was all dead and gone. <br/>
<br/>
I agree with those who state that the JTCS engine is quite weak. Playing against AI can be satisfying with the shorter scenario's, with the larger ones, however, AI ...

<r> Hello Osiris,<br/>
<br/>
Pontoons ARE able to be loaded by engineer trucks. It needs however, several steps:<br/>
<br/>
1. Have a pontoon, a bridge engineer and an <U><s>[u]</s>engineer<e>[/u]</e></U> truck in the same hex<br/>
2. select the bridge engineer and the pontoon and load them ...

<t> The first board game ever I played was AH's Panzer Leader. I got triggered by reading a 'table top teaser' - a kind of AAR - in the magazine 'Militairy Modelling'. It must have been in the mid seventies of the former century (Yeh....time is flying!!). Many, very many board games followed ...

<r> Thanks for your reply, Juggalo.<br/>
<br/>
I fear that you are right; those dump-units are - unfortunately - 'just for fun'. The way I thought to use them would be only valid in a scenario that went from the start of operation Uranus in november 1942 through the very end of the destruction of ...

<r> While working on a (huge) scenario on Stalingrad, I am encountering the problem of declining supply for the German 6th Army. The OOB-editor mentions the availability of (amongst others) a <I><s>[i]</s>fixed supply dump<e>[/i]</e></I>, a <I><s>[i]</s>fixed fuel dump<e>[/i]</e></I> each with ...

<r> Hi Rene,<br/>
<br/>
Why waiting till the coming update? Just create your HQ-platoons by adding an extra platoon at the <U><s>[u]</s>top<e>[/u]</e></U> of each company and adjust it to strength 2 when editing the scenario (with the scenario-editor). The top platoon usually takes the 'command ...

<t> I don't know. Escarpments can, unfortunately, not effectively placed on the map when using the map-editor for north-west european scenario's, although the box for it is present! Non-passable hexsides are cliffs and high walls. The next - lower - one is the embankment which is passable! <br ...

<r> An adequate way to attack pilboxes:<br/>
<br/>
1. move a unit into an adjacent hex, hopefully it takes all defensive fire<br/>
<br/>
2. move an engineer tot the same hex; if it has 70 action points left, fire into the pillbox. One unit inside is hopefully disrupted; use the remainder action ...

I experienced in the OVERLORD scenario that on the OMAHA-beachhead, both trucks and tanks can pass a blown high wall!

<r> Hello junk2drive,<br/>
<br/>
Thank you for your concern! I don't hope so. However, it does not worry me much if the 1.05 version is restricted to the correction of obvious errors and the adition for play-options (e.g. assult rules). And if it is not....well, its <I><s>[i]</s>all in the game<e ...

<r> Hello Josh,<br/>
<br/>
With the latest version of John Tillers' Combat Series ( Matrix' version 1.04), it is quite possible to play with a Dutch OOB already. In the games depot of the Wargamer website (<URL url="http://www.wargamer.com">www.wargamer.com</URL>) you will find a number of ...

<t> Hi Rene,<br/>
<br/>
Our messages crossed...<br/>
<br/>
I fully agree that a 3 strength trucks should cary a full platoon (6 strength) (about 12 men per truck). That is the same as having a 6 strength truck carrying two full platoons. That is a reduction of 25% in 'units' in the OOB. Quite a ...
