RE: Armageddon 2015 Russia (Larry) vs. NATO (Roger)

<t> Larry and I have decided to abandon the second of our two play-tests until the turn burn issue can be fixed within the scenario. So this will end the AAR for now.<br/>
<br/>
Hope we were able to help Mark Stevens in some fashion. Larry and Mark are playing a tweaked version so I'm sure this ...

RE: answers to some basic questions

<t> I really appreciate the patience of the veterans. After stumbling and bumbling, I now have a thorough answer. It's understandable. I now know what is happening and why -- and I can ignore some of the posts blaming the messenger.<br/>

Still seems odd that the worst strategy is to use ...

RE: Armageddon 2015 G2T8

<t> Larry may have documented that the artillery bug was not actually fixed and that is burning our turns. Turn 8 is another turn burn. I only got one chance to make moves and combat for the fourth consecutive time.<br/>

And this time, I made sure every single unit in the game was set to ...

RE: Balanced scenarios

ORIGINAL: Raindem


If you don't mind hypothetical try Blitzkrieg. It's adapted from the board game and the forces are practically identical.

Is it Blitzkrieg 1950 in the hypothetical folder?

Ignore losses in not an 'exploit'. An early ending turn is something that will happen as stated in the manual. There are and never will be guarantees in a battle. Don't know how many ways to say these things. If you want things to go exactly ...

RE: answers to some basic questions

Is there a simpler way to answer this so I understand? If I disband a unit, how soon will it replace? The next turn? And under conditions where there is room for replacements to come in scattered around the map in similar units? Have I got it?
