<t>I disagree re the comment about the Germans being stupid with making heavy tanks. For example the Elephant is generally considered a failure at Kursk by many authors, in actual fact the kill loss ratio was 15 - 1 in favor of the Elephants. There are many instances of single German heavy AFVS ...

<t>Sorry Wulfir, re your "I&#8217;m using a core force of evil Waffen SS troops" comment, I checked the OOB but could nt find those troops listed.<br/>
<br/>
I thought such silly ill-educated comments were banned from this forum, just stick to the factual military capabilites without the political ...

<t>The USSR had approx 1,000 of the KV series and 1,000 of the T-34 on June 1941, Germany sent East at this time approx 2,334 AFVs the bulk of which were the light varity.<br/>
It should also be noted that many tankers including Wittman considered the anti-tank gun to be the greater threat, as they ...

Sure, do you remember the old days with previous SP games, you needed a 10 - 1 point advantage to receive a major victory.

<t>I am currently reading Ambroise Citizen Soldiers and came across an interesting paragraph about a new section of replacements straight from boot camp assigned to a veteran US platoon. A veteran officer instructed a green private to go take an enemy house. The basic US infantry combat training was ...

<t>I know there has been a lot of discussion on the forum re artillery casualities, I am currently reading Citizen Soldiers by Ambroise. He mentions that 75% of US casualities in the Bocage were inflicted by German Mortars (I remember reading casuality % figures before but I cant remember the ...

Ive tried both leaving the game, re booting and starting a new campaign etc. I do remember that this problem happened in an earlier version and it was fixed with a patch.

<r>I just got the maga campaign disc, played it non stop and noticed the re appearance of an old bug.<br/>
I like starting say June 41 to the end of the war and running two campaigns month by month say as German and Russian to see who does better each month through the war.<br/>
BUT the 5.3 and the ...

If you dont pre plan the para drops and gliders in the setup phase the aircraft revert to the vehicle type units you mentioned. Use these units the way they are supposed to be used, in the set up planning stage and they provide a useful and interesting addition dimension to the game

I think you guys are being too critical, SPWAW without doubt is the most realistic and accurate wargame available. The creation team done an excellant job, especially when you consider the game is free. Personally, I have nothing but admiration and thanks to the team.

Thanks Bill

I know the designers are busy on the latest OOB patch update, but any idea when it might be ready ?

Dont forget all the additional people who received a copy of the game eg. CD without downloading it themselves. Personally I passed the game onto at least four others.
Cheers from Dal Riada

<t>I think that Russian partisans cost so little to reflect the historical aspect of them being so expendible and numerious. German special forces such as the Brandenburgers were excellant elite troops, but very limited in numbers and availability. I think the game cost is well thought out in this ...

The only way to force entrenched infantry from their foxholes or rough hexes tends to be heavy firepower or more effectively artilery, let them run out of cover then hit them in the open . Personally I think that infantry are too resistant to AFVs in the game

<t>The option to upgrade in core units werfers and the mobile version appeared in 4.3b, and has stuck in 4.4, but I think they are bugs. I assume you can buy rocket artillery as support units with the other nations. Im sure the problem will be sorted in the next patch. Personally I added a battery ...

<t>I was just wondering especially from the veterans out there which long campaigns do they prefere. For myself I like to play the same campaign from both sides and see which side does the best. <br/>
1.Barbarossa June 1941 to end -eastern ETO<br/>
2.Italian Campaign July 1943 - end - as German, U.S ...

<t>German armour was (open to argument) the best in WW2. Many U.S. tankers claimed many Tiger kills when they were in fact Mk 4 or other AFVs. Brits also became very reserved about engaging German tanks, one interview I remember concern an R.A.F commander telling Montgomery during the Normandy ...

Reinforcements adding on to the core forces was a bug that appeared I think in version 4.3b, it was supposed to have fixed in version 4.4. But unless you start over your campaign with version 4.4 I think your stuck with it.

Has anyone else noticed the range finder of 10 and fire control of 10 for the Nashorn, compare this to the Ferdinand of 5 and 5 or the King Tiger of 8 and 7. Is this a mistake or intentional ? 10 seams a little bit on the high side
