Bump.

<r>I have actually noticed some kind of difference, which is quite realistic ( probably has something to do with the targeting value mentioned above?). An assualt gun on the move seems to do worse with hitting than one that sits still waiting for a turn or two. Of course, this is a general thing ...

Sometimes if there is no vehicles present anywhere close to where the aircraft is coming in, they will target a specific hex, which, if you are lucky may contain infantry. I've never seen them really target an infantry unit though.

Very true. Although this doesn't prevent gamers from debating "small things" like infantry smoke forever and ever

<t>Finnish Ski troops (probably the others as well) have some errors which make them much less usable than other comparable infantry, while in reality, it should be the other way around. What you can do on foot, you can do with skiis on your feet, at least if you are somewhat trained in the use of ...

<t>The in-game map editor works perfectly fine for most applications and is the very simplest to learn how to use. Just start clicking around and you will have your map sooner than you know. I've used this one for all my scenarios. Build the basic terrain first (hills and rivers), then go on with ...

Perhaps those Gerries were out waterskiing when the invasion came.. <img src="cool.gif" border="0">

<r>Just for fun, something I found at Feldgrau. I find many of these points, taken from German field experience in Russia, very much applicable to SPWAW as well. Especially, patience, combined arms and concentration of fire is very important in the game as well. Of course, some of them, nr. 12 for ...

That is the most useful bit of news I have heard about this problem yet, and that says quite a lot <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> If you could give me a little more specifics (in fact as much as possible) that ...

And having a machine gun ...

<t>On the other hand, if that is the definition of broken, the whole game system is broken since you (at least in the "battle type" scenarios) can buy whatever you want. The reinforcement system, quite naturally, follows this as well.<br/>

It's all what you make it to. Some like the ability to ...

The British command posts with two Vickers HMG's are actually very useful for much more than rallying <img src="wink.gif" border="0">

Look for the scenario depot. It recently seems to have gone back in function again <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

<r>Brian, here's a little something from the Blitz board. Haven't checked it out myself:<br/>

Has anyone else noticed that the German VG bicycle sqd is listed as an elite unit, but plays as second line? I am angrily finding this out in a current game I am playing. One shot ...

IF it will be fixed, I believe Penetrators "fix alternative" above, is an excellent one. This would give units firing directly at an enemy a bonus, and still punish stacking/clumping together.

No smoke would be a possible OOB fix though, right Brian? <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

It's not only the lack of Molotovs or other AT weapons. Even if they have them, they use them, but not for close-assaulting. Of course they can be lethal just hurling around as well, but in principle, they should be able to attack just like normal leg infantry.

I've noticed this as well in earlier version that Ski troops can't perform close assaults (Finnish ones at least). If this is still so, it is wrong, because anything you could do on feet you can do with skiis as well if you are trained on it.

Actually it is there already for several German armoured vehicles, including late-war Tigers if I don't remember all wrong.
