RE: underpowered Russian tanks

Thanks! I opened up the last WF scenario I played, and through the acrid smoke of burning Shermans (mine), I found it behind a horde of Tigers [:@].

RE: Tactical Driving with tanks

<t> Thanks Mike - that's what I try to do with my recon units - which promptly 'die' due to the AI's psychic targeting ability; playing with FOW on makes this impossible: my unit appears, is fired on with unerring accuracy and is either destroyed or forced to retreat and the enemy unit can no longer ...

RE: Tactical Driving with tanks

Yes it was standard practice for WWII tank drivers, but not something you can do in the game if playing against the A/I because it will spot, engage and destroy you first every time

RE: underpowered Russian tanks

<t> Totally agree with your comments! But it's not just the Russians - I have found West Front to be 'German biased' too - example I've just been playing a scenario where US 90mm guns failed to scratch the paintwork on the side of Panther tanks, from the adjacent hex and with the armor facing rules ...
