Darn Land Mines!!!<br/>
<br/>
You do it to me every time.... so don't stop now!<br/>
Have some well deserved R & R Sir, but keep those creative juices flowing.<br/>
<br ...

<r>Tanks in the Pacific suits me just fine... I'm really enjoying some of your finest work in MCW. Since it'll be the Pacific I'm sure we'll have our fill of bunker/cave busting to do. <br/>
<br/>
BTW, I thought you were already darn creative... sounds like you're getting downright mean now.<E>:)</E ...

<t>He's Back... guess I'll have to brush up on proper use of Engineer uints to detect those mines....never where you expected them, but always destroying units you're trying to protect from them! Welcome back. Your scenarios/campaigns have schooled all SPWAW players very well.<br/>

But one ...

<r>Chief: Yes, they have fired on previous turns, but they have more than enough ammo to be able to fire this round and on ones to follow. Reduced Ammo is on. I have many squads that have run out of hand grenades and rifle ammo and have moved them back off the line and moved replacements up to their ...

<t>Chief: The Japs are on an assault and I repelled alot of attackers at one spot on my lines. They seemed to retreat to the same hex so I used my last 105mm barrage on that hex...direct hit. On my next turn I moved a fresh unit forward and discovered all the routed units. So my advancing unit has ...

<t>Thanks for all the replies guys.<br/>
<br/>
1st: No armor or HT's available, so overrun is out of the question. My first chioce also would have been to move in with armor and overrun or blast away.<br/>
<br/>
2nd: The only unit close enough or with enough movement is a squad with rifle/smg/hand ...

<r>This really gets me steamed!! <E>:mad:</E> <E>:mad:</E> <E>:mad:</E> <br/>
I'm playing MCW, and am being assaulted by hordes of Japanese infantry on Bloody Ridge. I'm holding them off with limited arty and bad losses of my own men. I call in my last salvo of 105mm on a hex I suspect is loaded ...

There's also Steel Panthers Scenario Manager Ver 3.0 that works quite well. It was on one of the many SPWAW support sites but I don't remember which one. If you need a copy I could zip it and email it.

<t>...but I guess this crt hasn't totally destroyed them yet. Kudos to you for following up on it. I'm kinda gettin used to those mineplow's sittin in the water, supporting my troops with those guns. Gonna be kinda sad to see them go.<br/>
<br/>
Well thanks again for letting me know that late at ...

Your explanation makes sense on closer inspection. At first glance it looks just like a Dozer. Operates perfectly normal as a transport/naval gun platform. If you right click on the unit it does show a landing craft photo. I'm sure you're right, I just thought I was gonna have to ...

<t>In MC Watchtower, Node 16, Battle10a, three naval units (U0,V0 and W0 Destroyer/Trans) are in the deep water and loaded with para units and have 4.7in naval guns but show up as what looks like a M4A1 Dozer icon. I'm at ver 7.1 and have all the MC updates and patches. Oob's are all dated 3/24/02 ...

Quick and easy way to protect your friends/business contacts. Thanks for the tip. Just did it and feel safer already!!

Thanks,
Steve

your engineer squad attacks a hex that 4 enemy squads have retreated into and takes them all out in one salvo....sweet!

Steve

<t>Been in the MC-W jungles the last three days playing the "First Matanikau" scenario you designed, and if you hadn't included those 5 aux M3 75mm GMC's, I'd be gettin my a** whupped! They really chew up the Jap Infantry with the 2 50cal aamg's. Just keep'em far enough away so they don't take any ...

<r>Bing,<br/>
<br/>
If I'm dating myself, you just about put one foot in the grave by admitting you found Tactics II in <I><s>[I]</s>1958<e>[/I]</e></I> !! I came across it around '76, 11 yrs old. Never got really heavy into SL/ASL or the others you mentioned, usually do to the lack of competent ...

<t>If you like playing the scenarios, visit the sites of the many SPWaW players out there who design the scenarios in their spare time...where they get that much time is beyond my comprehension. I've got upwards of five hundred on my scenario list. They'll keep me busy till I'm 90.<br/>
<br/>
Steve ...

<t>Well, I've been playing wargames for as long as I can remember ....Avalon Hill board games (Tactics II, Blitzkrieg, etc) and on the PC (Empire Deluxe is still a favorite). I played and own the original SP and SP2. I read a little one line blurb in Computer Gaming Magazine a year or so ago about ...

<t>Well you might want to catch up on some ZZZ's now, cause you're gonna be spending an unhealthy amount of time in front of your pc once they arrive. You should also stock up on some Jolt cola or coffee(any highly concentrated caffine product will do). Your eyes might start twitching uncontrolably ...

<r>In MC-W, you're creeping through the jungle 1 or 2 hexes at a time, being really careful, and your best infantry unit walks right into 2 enemy squads and gets wiped out without firing a single shot! Man, I hate when that happens!:mad: But I keep coming back for more.<E>:D</E> This game has earned ...

Thanks, and by the way, congrats on the new forum "el supremo" title/job.
