<t>I decided that playing for a tie wouldn't be any fun. not that getting torn apart by 88's at 40 hexes is a joy. If this was a normal game I would have hit the f9 key about 15 turns ago. So I'm doing the next best thing. Every thing that moves is heading for tommy's Truck stop. With any luck Olord ...

<t>Well, it looks like Olord is either willing to settle for a draw or has some sort of intention to grab a few more flags somehwere and see if the points will put him over the top. He has fallen back to tommy's Truck stop and it looks like he is digging in. More smoke and more creeping up. 7 more ...

<t>I took a wild shot at a Mk-IV and got a burning T-34 as a reward. I played suck the magazine dry up north. Got 3 or 4 shots out of a Tiger and 3 or 4 from a Mk-IV. They were all at 30+ hexes. Dangerous, but If he doesn't hit that first shot and I make him shift targets, then it's a good thing ...

<t>Still playing hard to get. Olord left a Mk-IV out where I could get a flank shot from about 1200 meters, but I didn't fall for it. No, I will sneak my scouts through the grass and hope to get them close enough to Tommy's so a next to last turn TOT might stun the rifle squads there and let me dash ...

<B><s>[B]</s>Thanks for the explanation Tomanbeg. So the Germans were better because the men loved their squad leaders and would do what they were told because the squad leader was "one of them." Whereas, the US "imposed" leaders on ...

<B><s>[B]</s>I thought the Germans had terrible communications capability compared to the Americans (a radio in every hand). Is C&C not modeling that?<br/>

Also, it seems to me, that as the American commander, as long as I ...

<B><s>[B]</s>So what you are saying Tomanbeg is that you are one of the C&C ON snobs who looks down his nose at those of us who don't like C&C? I can't argue with your reasoning other than that there are more of us who play with C&C ...

<r>While I havn't played H2H, I would like to point out the the 'problems' it is supposed to fix are not inharent to WaW. Vebber posted a long thread back in the version 4.5 days explaining the unit point costs. They were designed to work under certain conditions to achieve 'balanced' battles. They ...

Ok, here is my turn. no shooting so I think it will post here. I will need your E-mail address once the shooting starts.

<t>You are doing a masterful job with those handfull of Tigers(yes all my relatives have 6 fingers per hand. My great-great-great grandfather invented the 6 pack so the rest of the world could share our blessing). But by playing for the draw, I change the formula. Now you have to get 200 points per ...

<t>Some Crazy Limey got me started on this type game. He pointed out that Brigade commanders have to use what they have, and it was extremely unrealistic for one to go down an equipment list selecting items like he was ordering a new car from the factory. It does make one learn how to use the proper ...

<t>By having the computer select the units there is wery little chance of massive amounts of arty. As far as I've seen, the Computer tends to lean toward infantry units. And in the half a dozen games I've played like this I have yet to see a FO get bought. I supposed it could happen, although I'm ...

<t>I counted anyway, just because I am that sort of guy. If the game was to end right now it would be around 7000 for Olord and 4000 for me. Close enough so that a unit or two could make the difference. So I am going to run off and hide. I will be more then happy to escape with fighting 150% of the ...
