Crews can only operate the vehicle they abandoned. Even if the vehicle is of the same type, crew will not operate someone else's vehicle.

Those were 105's. After the battle for the guns, the Officers reported that they destroyed some 105's and didn't find any 88's. It was nice to see the characters point out this fact to us.

BA Evans

<t>Yes, the 155's can really pack a punch. They are capable of knocking the snot out of even entrenched troops.<br/>

I try to only use my artillery on large concentrations of enemy troops that I have spotted. It is wasteful to throw artillery around blindly. Use your artillery only when you ...

<t>Opps, I meant the 'Y' key. Thanks for the correction.<br/>

I have noticed that when my Elite infiltrators appear near large numbers of enemy, they stay hidden much better if their 'Range' is reduced to 1 or 0. When the range is higher, they seem to get spotted easier, even when I answer 'No ...

These are the only factors that might affect things. If both sides had the same ...

Compare that with the armor on the Matilda II.<br/>

Sides = 75mm<br/>

Of course you have a hard time destroying the Matilda II. The Pz IV doesn't have enough power to ...

My long campaign just switched from Europe to the African desert. I find that my vehicles almost never breakdown in the desert. Now that I am in the desert, I regularly move my vehicle their max. move. This is something that I rarely did in Europe.

<r>Artillery effects are abstracted. When you get a 'hit' with artillery...all that means is that the round landed close enough to affect the vehicle. It does not necessarily mean the round struck the vehicle. Your 'hit' very well could be an airburst over the target, concussion from a near miss, or ...

<t>Are you using 'true troop cost'? These settings will consider the individual unit's experience level and adjust its cost.<br/>
<br/>
Let's pretend that both the German's and British bought tanks that are exactly the same cost (100 points) in the encylopedia. Since German tanks generally have ...

<r>Yes I noticed this as well. I think that I might upgrade a truck to this costal gun just for fun. Do you know which skill is the most important for this costal gun. Does it use the same skill all costal guns use?<br/>

Thanks,<br/>

<r>Which trucks are you having problems with? Most trucks that I have seen are very vulnerable to ALL weapons. For example, the Opel can be penetrated by all rifles and machine guns that I have encountered.<br/>

<t>In my case, these were German bombers. During the deployment phase I targeted both bombers but I did not do anything to the arrival time. The bombers arrived during the prebombardment phase and made their bomb runs. As soon as the first bomb fell, the screen moved to where my troops were ...

<t>I have only used bombing missions once. They really pounded the snot out of the infantry that they hit. Many infantry units dispursed.<br/>

You only get one bombing run from each bomber and you only get it during the pre-bombardment phase.<br/>

<t>Here is my take on how Exp. is calculated in the Steel Panthers games.<br/>

I also get the 'target 999' bug.

Why put your tanks in such vulnerable positions? Souldn't you keep them near cover if your enemy has superior equipment?

Better tactics/positioning would fix your problem.
