Re: Land Combat

The B-Mod West Coast Invasion discussion reminds me of a glitch that I am responsible for in stock.

The US 2nd Armored Division, the keystone of the US West Coast Invasion reinforcements, will unfortunately arrive almost tankless because I mucked up the devices and the TOE upgrade. To fix, in stock ...

Re: Land Combat

Two further thoughts on the B-Mod:

(1) As a matter of personal preference, instead of making the Chinese warlord corps 'static-restricted'. one might achieve the same goal by putting two or three 'Chinese Garrison' squads (device 1318 in stock) in each warlord LCU -- but, importantly, not in the TO ...

Land Combat



Old signature resurrection. I recall when this game was released it was often lamented among now departed members that the land combat aspect never got quite the level of treatment that air and naval combat did. :mrgreen:

Thanks for your work on this game. While not a mass appeal title, It has stood the test of time better than 99.9% of other games with new players still joining, learning, and enjoying this beast. It must be quite amazing to anyone who worked on the title that the game is still much loved so many ...

It was new to the US army in 1941, and 50 of the first 100 produced were sent to MacArthur in the Philippines ...
