Topic: Why revert to the small scale?
Replies: 15
Views: 180

<r>Personally I see SP:WAW as a huge step _forward_. SP II is the only computer wargame I've ever bought, and I skipped no III because I prefer the small unit battles, but if WAW hadn't been free I would have bought that too. <br/>

Plenty of large scale games out there, but very few small ones ...

<r>I think it's all up to experience and tactics. I recently played two PBEM games, and faced Tiger I's in both of them. One of my opponents sniped my tank killers from a low hill at the edge of my visbility, and killed them all at the cost of one Tiger (which was due to air attack), then rolled ...

<r>Well, just as I thought I would get kicked into the sea in battle 2 my AT guns found some targets, and as I'd managed to hold all the victory locations, I got a decisive victory.

<r>You're a major part of the community, Bill.
