<t>The US M-16 self-propelled AA halftrack is the best infantry killer out there in terms of machine guns. It also does pretty well in an antiaircraft role and even has decent killing power against light enemy AFVs. It's a really good triple-purpose weapon. Don't leave home without it. I usually ...

My campaign doesn't involve the 3rd SS Panzergrenadier Division. At this point I'm including only 8 battles in my campaign, one per day from 5-12 Jul 43, mainly because the battles are large and very stressful. All I can say for now is that this campaign is shaping up to be ...

Anybody interested in playtesting a massive Kursk campaign (each battle you will be commanding 350+ units over 25+ turns) please contact me at:

You raise an issue that I hadn't considered. And you have opened a can of worms.<br/>
<br/>
Players are allowed to purchase medium and heavy bombers when playing a battle (such as hotseat or PBEM). And those players WILL use them in mass and in a "time-on-target" way to ...

<t>I agree.<br/>
<br/>
I will reset the test. 36 turns of air bombardment and then 36 more turns of artillery bombardment (assuming 5 minutes per turn) will produce a 72-turn (6-hour) bombardment scenario.<br/>
<br/>
I will make the entire city area rough terrain over which I will place all the ...

I'm not sure I understand what you are saying. <br/>
<br/>
Are you saying that there is a better form of cover in SPWaW that I could've put the Germans in?<br/>
<br/>
Are you saying that I should make the map much larger than the historical combat area even if that would no longer make ...

How did you make all that smoke at the start of the Bogeyman Hill battle of the Utah to the Rhine Campaign?

Thank You!

I have version 6.1 already. The problem is that my "Long Long Road to Victory" campaign file got corrupted and I want very much to replace it. Can anybody tell me where I can get that campaign file please?

I'm guessing that you spent some time working out the mathematics on your artillery damage area calculations. How long did you work on those calculations? An hour? A day? Several days? However long it took you, you mentioned in this thread that the calculations were complicated ...

Can anybody tell me where I can get "The Long Long Road to Victory" campaign file to download?

I've tried Tankhead's and Fabio's websites but this campaign is not on either of those sites (that I could see).

<t>I personally believe that the Soviets were more war-weary by the end of 1945 than is generally believed. Their economy was in very bad shape, their nation was largely in ruins, and their population had been decimated. In addition, they were aware of the Manhattan Project, and even if that Project ...

Feel free to post these however you wish.

I'm considering putting together a list of tactical doctrines if there is an interest in them. But since that will involve a lot of effort, I probably won't do them if the interest level is low.

<r>As a result of over 5 years and several thousand games with the Steel Panthers series, I've evolved a set of tactical tips and guidelines.<br/>

A British OOB Bug...

The description for British SAS/Commando units when purchasing lists them as "AVERAGE". They should definitely be ELITE.

I will post this on the Bug Consolidation Thread when it appears.

"To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women." -- Genghis Khan

Although the above quote was popularized by the movie "Conan the Barbarian", it is actually attributed to Genghis Khan 800 years ago.

<t>I agree with Brent and Tomo.<br/>
<br/>
The AI cannot adequately simulate superior German tactics but it does a decent job of simulating Soviet and Japanese tactics. This makes playing the Germans more "realistic", hence more enoyable.<br/>
<br/>
Also, the Germans faced the greatest variety of ...

Large assaults and advances take the longest, a whole evening or more for me. Delays and defends don't take as long for me, several hours or less.

Well it could happen if the AI got a low random number for battle points. It doesn't always choose an amount equal to Player1. Also if you have the game set to EASY, then the AI will get less points to spend. Etc.
