<t>I ahve to agree with Paul. I've been using a lot of German engineers in my Stalingrad PBEM battles, and I have to tell ya I've never gotten more than 5-6 at any one time and those moments were rare. I think Paul's numbers are on the mark, and I don't think they're excessive.<br/>

<r>I can't remember the last time I played the AI....once I found PBEM in 1995 I was hooked. Only because I used to beat the bejeezus out of the AI and once I played another human...different story! Man, I got beat up, kicked around, and then I finally got a draw....Alleuia! <E>:D</E> From then on ...

<r>Bravo,<br/>

Thanks for this post. I know that the biggest prob for the Raiders and other designers is the availability of good maps. This is a windfall. <E>:)</E><br/>

<r>This may be old news ...but I just stumbled onto a site that is starting to sell what looks like detailed topo maps. Thought I'd drop the url here for those interested.....<br/>

I agree fully...there's enough support for SPWAW that a webring should be started.

SPWAW outpointed Combat Mission! Matrix also placed Pacific War in the top 4!

Congratulations to all of the Matrix staff! Well Done!

It's another case of people unwilling to change their tactics to suit their enemy. I for one, would not want any of these people giving up on 5.3 to be Generals in my countries army. The first curve ball the enemy would ...

What I think of v5.3 is that I'm going back to v5.01. In the first battle of the MCampaign patched with v5.03, I can't count the times I've had a Brit squad out in the open with three of my engineer squads ...

What concerns me the most is how difficult it is to kill units of 3 or less.<br/>

As a general rule I'm very pleased because I think it is more realistic dealing with infantry BUT, being unable to take ...

Yes, SP3 was 6 to thirty minutes, and the original SP manual says it's "several minutes" ....but my question still stands. <br/>

<B><s>[b]</s>IT does not allow you to get "more shots than you are supposed to" - a Tank or AT gun could easily fire 6-10 rounds per minute at a "cooperative target" so in a "several minute" long turn 20 shots is well within the realm of ...
