AI doesn't get bored of moving it's units one hex at a time, either. Actually that approximates simultaneous movement much closer than what most players do.<br/>
<br/>
That's potentially unfair advantage but I reckon we can forgive the poor AI this one :rolleyes ...

Silly breakdowns

I had a MC scout platoon suffer a vehicle breakdown.. Ok, so far so good, but all 9 bikes at once?

Maybe they all drove over the same log?

Sticky opfire?

<t>How about making opfire target "stick" somewhat?<br/>
<br/>
That is, a tank or ATG is more likely to shoot at a target it has shot previously and less likely to bother with anyone else.<br/>
<br/>
This way you'd get the hit-% boost changes..<br/>
<br/>
Naturally special opfire would override this ...

I just hope there was some way to get this stuff to some game sites who'd be willing to carry it.

edome.net would take it at least, and that'd have Scandinavia covered.

Of course, gamesdomain spreads everywhere.. What's up with their mirrors anyway?

There was a winter-war campaign for the original SP made by a serious winter war nut.

He might convert his stuff to SPWAW if everyone asked him real nice..

Hmm, since the mega-campaigns are commercial ;)

Most of the time I have 2:1 force in Afrika due to weirdness in HQ force level calculations (you can have ~1200 points, add ONE infantry div and it goes up to 2500) ..<br/>
