Same here.

<t>I've played through to the end as German, US and USSR. I found that as my units experience progressed to amazing levels, it just got too easy. Right now I'm in a German campaign, its about Jan '43 and I have elite Tigers, elite Engineers (on halftracks) elite sp flak and elite sp guns (the Lorrai...

<t>One trick I've learned the hard way:<br/> <br/> When attacking, the first thing I do before deploying my troops is to set a single objective hex for ALL of my units. Click on the target hex, usually the far edge of the map centered N-S, then click on the green flag. (At least I think its the gree...

Also - if you are playing with C&C on, it takes an order to call in artillery. Therefore you can use up your FO's orders on artillery fire and save your unit commanders for other actions.

<t>I agree with most everything in Jack's post.<br/> <br/> Also remember to use "Economy of Force" units. By this I mean: mass your really good, expensive units for the assault while you defend the rest of the map with cheaper units. AT guns, MG's and regular rifle units make great economy of force ...

<t>I think this has actually been improved quite a bit throughout the various versions of SWPWAW. Although its far from perfect, 6.1 does a much better job of avoiding obstacles than some of the earlier versions. This is especially true of the Computer player, 'he' no longer gets half of his tanks i...

<t>I did one more quick test and found that if there are mines in the hex that the engineers occupy, they will only clear mines in that hex, they will not clear both teir own hex and the one in front of them. So I guess it really doesn't matter whether you are in a hex or adjacent to it. Next I'll t...

<t>I just did a quick test and it looks like john g was right.<br/> I set up hexes with 50 mines (Russian defending 1944) and advanced 3 stacks of 4 German Engineers (full squads of 10 men).<br/> <br/> In 3 turns with the Engineers adjacent to the three mine hexes they removed 120 mines.<br/> <br/> ...

<r><QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>Originally posted by john g:<br/> <B><s>[b]</s><br/> <br/> Are you sure on this, I thought when I tested, they cleared 0 to 5 mines per turn, from their hex or the hex in front, if they don't have any in their hex.<br/> thanks, John.<e>[/b]</e></B><HR>[hr]</HR><e>[/quote]</e>...

<r><QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>Originally posted by Truckeye:<br/> <B><s>[b]</s>will multiple units in the same hex clear mines faster?<e>[/b]</e></B><HR>[hr]</HR><e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE> Yes !<br/> <br/> I try to stack my Engineers 3 or 4 to a hex and clear a narrow lane through the mine field.<br/> <br/> ...

<t>Mine clearing vehicles work the same as engineers:<br/> First you have to find the mine field.<br/> Next you have to spend a few turns stationary in the hex to clear all the mines.<br/> When the mine field no longer shows in the hex, its cleared.<br/> I've found that the mine clearing vehicles ar...

<t>I think that the later model StuG's are some of the most cost effective units in the game. I usually buy at least a few of them in every PBEM game.<br/> <br/> They have pretty good frontal armor.<br/> They have a gun capable of taking out all but the heaviest Allied tanks at moderate ranges.<br/>...

<r><QUOTE><s>[quote]</s> SNIP - Originally posted by 11Bravo:<br/> <B><s>[b]</s>Once my infantry dismounts, it uses halftracks the way they use mortars: added firepower delivered to spotted targets.

<t>Larry - Thanks for a VERY informative post.<br/> <br/> Back in the neolithic era (1975) I watched a big TOT during a firepower demonstration put on for our ROTC Basic class.

Some rich Nokia billionaire needs to step to the line and bring this plane home.

Seriously, it would be unfortunate if the history of the plane were diluted by improper markings, but ultimately, the new owner will make that choice.

<t>I've found Halftracks to be quite useful, but a bit fragile. As noted elsewhere, AT rifles and light AT guns are quite accurate and very hard to spot. Therefore I've lost quite a few of my German Halftracks when I tried to use them for medium range infantry support early in the war. The MG accura...

I've had this happen when reinforcements have arrived and they are on the very edge of the map. You have to manually scroll over to find the units.

Otherwise, I've not seen this happen.

<t>The Soviet PTRD Anti Tank Rifles are also very effective against 250/251 Half Tracks. <br/> <br/> I don't know if changes were made to the calculations or if its just my own experience, but it does seem that the early war AT weapons are more accurate and deadly in 6.1 than they were in earlier ve...
