<r>A few good map links<br/>
<br/>
This is the best one I found on the web. <URL url="http://www.dean.usma.edu/history/dhistorymaps/Atlas%20Page.htm"><s>[url="http://www.dean.usma.edu/history/dhistorymaps/Atlas%20Page.htm"]</s>http://www.dean.usma.edu/history/dhistorymaps/Atlas%20Page.htm<e>[/url ...

<t>Just a few tips so that people can make better historic maps.<br/>
<br/>
1. Keep in mind that each hex is 50 meters wide. That makes the larges map 5 km wide by 12 km down.<br/>
<br/>
2. Lay a hex grede over the map that you are using to make the map and then use the train tracks in the editor to ...

The reason is that some people got their hands on a bata of version 3 and started complaining thinking they had the real version 3.

Would be nice to see, but I dont think its to likely to happen.

Will if your using version 2.3 you should not be having this problem unless you have a bad install or something becouse I have version 2.3 and this never happens.

<t>Not to historic do since it took 3 Sdfz 9 prime movers to move one tiger. In realaty most of this work was done after the battle was over and was most often done by other armoured units and not tractors. Since them units would have ben fighting they would not have ben free to do this untill the ...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>Originally posted by Tombstone:<br/>
<B><s>[b]</s>I dont think that's how units operated though. That would be a good example of too much control over the battlefield maximising effectiveness in unrealistic manners. I have a strong suspicion that tank crews shot AP rounds at ...

I think a lot of them small guns should not even be included as off map arty. When you think about the map being about 5 km from one side to the other and the short range of them guns, they would have be on the map historicly.

<t>From what I have see the computer handels ammo better then the real life crews of the time. It will only use HE rounds against infantry and saves the Heat rounds only for armour units and no time is ever wasted loading the rong ammo type. The crews of the time would often load the rong ammo and ...

<r>Will I looked it up in a speedsheet I did up some time back and this is what I got for the SU-122<br/>
<br/>
121.9 mm D-25S gun AMMO: 30<br/>
1 x 12.7 mm DShK AAMG AMMO: 250<br/>
<br/>
In May of 1943 it used the new BP-460A HEAT round, before that I could not find anything.<br/>
<br/>
You can ...

<t>Will in the game the IS-3 is armed with 121.9mm D-25T and has 10 HE and 18 AP rounds.<br/>
<br/>
From looking it up this is what I found.<br/>
<br/>
The semi-automatic 122 mm D-25T main gun was fitted with a muzzle brake. <br/>
<br/>
The rate of fire was about 2-3 shots per minute. <br/>
<br/>
18 ...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>Originally posted by Owl:<br/>
<B><s>[b]</s>The T-43 was acutally a side point to my main question. Short of lots of modifications, If I spend all of my 5000 points (0r whatever) on "primo" stuff vs spending only a fraction of that on a more realistic mixture does the AI ...

<t>The ones I think are the best<br/>
<br/>
Killers at Kozani Pass-41 (WBW)<br/>
Kick in the Door 2.3-41 (WBW)<br/>
Kanev Bridgehead-43 (KFG<br/>
<br/>
The Moment of Truth-43 (WBW) Germany has a little advantage but still really fun.<br/>
<br/>
Baptism of Fire-42(BGR) Very fun but would seggest ...

<t>Is there a way to rate the tactical value of terrain? <br/>
<br/>
<br/>
Nope, got to do it by feal.<br/>
<br/>
It would be nice to have asymetrical maps that were still balanced. Does better fields of fire balance out as long the opponent has one or two obstructed lanes of advance?Or is heavily ...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>Originally posted by Tombstone:<br/>
<B><s>[b]</s>I agree that what looks like is the best bet for scenarios... but in maps set up for the express purpose of player to player combat I think more effort has to put toward balanced sides. (or not balanced if thats the intent ...

Will when I design maps I always go with what looks nice and dont worry about the other things much. I always found that if you use a hictoric map as a guide you will more then likely end up with a nice looking map.

I can see why Arralon would get overheated do. Most games wount even fix bugs and you guys are not only fixing bugs but adding to the game and then someone has the gull to come along and put it down, its just crazy.

<t>Got to dessagree with you on this, I think way more people will play online then by Email, becouse its more fun that way and it makes for better play.<br/>
<br/>
As for taking 1-2 hours to play a turn, I dont even take a hour a turn on the largest scenario made yet, let alone 2. Most scenarios ...

<t>Will it all depinds.<br/>
<br/>
If you are going to play someone that you know the best way is playing unsecured. If you are playing someone for the first time its best to use secure mode.<br/>
<br/>
For finding oppenants, you can just past something on this furom and you will more thin likely ...

Im playing that one as the British in a Email game to and I have had a few units disappear.

I think it most be the scenario becouse I have played a number of other scenarios by Email and have had no problems like this.
